[Real Hip Hop]

I know the argument of "What is real hip hop" is constantly argued. I believe what most oldheads seem to concieve real hip hop as what they were first introduced to, i.e Rakim, Slick Rick, Big L, etc. Since then, hip hop has evolved. Some artists still obtain the more traditional style, but so much has changed it's hard to even classify. Hip hop began in NY, so a lot of people believe thats what's real. But now you have a conglomerate of down south artists that include people such as
T.I., UGK, and Ludacris; to Crime Mobb, Mike Jones, and Soulja Boy.

So i believe "real hip hop" is defined to what you were brought to know it to be. I grew up listening to artists like Jay-Z, Nas, and Mase. Whereas I have the opinion that hip hop that is closest to the traditional means of NY/Midwest based hip hop, is what appeals the most to me.

So, I heard somethin other fans who have similar taste to me... check out Young Chris new mixtape. No he not on that Young Gunz giidy ass music you probably remember him from.. this nigga has made some strides since then...
