Fear of a Black Planet remains as fierce as fuck.

I'm well out of touch, but enjoyed lots of late 80s/early 90s hip hop.

Who's doing interesting stuff today?

It's Rap actually. Hip Hop is culture of rap/graffiti/Breakdancing/DJ. Such a snob

I have a documentary called The Art of Rap. Ice T goes round interviewing the all time greats. It's pretty good if you like rap.

Mate.. I'm happier with it being hip hop if I'm honest.

I love watching crew battles and graffiti is my favourite style of art. Caught an artist called Snub41 in Brighton doing his thing. Wish Worcestershire was more like Brighton in more ways than one

I was thinking that about the lyrics in rap music. People say it's violent etc but it is intelligent and meaningful. The truth of the World is violent and people just don't want to hear the truth...

It had all gone way too far down hill by the mid 90's- most of them sound the bloody same to me now.

I do love the film Fear of a black hat- summed up a lot of the cliche of the genre up to that point and the music business in general perfectly...as well as being funny as fuck with some great tunes

I've been a missive B.I.G fan from I first heard the Ready To Die album. The Chronic is another that I couldn't get enough of. Eminem, Lupe Fiasco, A Tribe Called Quest, Big Pun, Snoop Dogg, JayZ, and Slick Rick would have been my other favourites. My list goes on and on though

I still often listen to my old 1980's rap classics on my I Pod and some of my favourites were Man Parrish,Eric B and Rakim,Ice T,LL Cool J,Run DMCA and Public Enemy. In more recent years have liked Kanye West,Jay Z, Dr Dre and of course Snopp Dog!

After a dance to MC Hammer, Vanilla Ice, Salt n Peppa and Coolio.

Cypress Hill were my first love of rap. Dad bought me the tape I'd asked for without any idea what was on it. I was 13 and learning about life in the ghettos.

Funkdoobiest and House of Pain albums were bought off the back of Cypress Hill love. Good, but nowhere near. The Fugees were also rapping between some melodic, rhythmic beats and beautiful vocals.

Nicked a Fear of a Black Planet and Straight outta Compton out of his CD collection (he was a cock and stole all my porn!). I was a changed man after that. Was looking forward to hearing Public Enemy.. which was angry, but not Gangsta angry. NWA blew me away! Didn't know anything about them. Just the CD. Straight outta Compton is my go to "Anger song" Along with Rage Against the Machines "Killing in the name of". RATM being one of very few groups that fuzed Rock and Rap. Oddly enough RATM helped me understand Public Enemys rage later on in life. Now love them as much as I wish I should have, at the time.

Moving on from NWA I start to hear about Ice T, KRS1, Wu Tang Clan, Ice Cube goes solo and rears shit UP! Biggie.. 2pac.. Snoop, Nate Dogg, Warren G.

Then came Eminem. His first two albums are insane. Each song a story, funk, clever, deep, dark, rapid, venomous, articulate, funny, real, off his fucking rocker! He renders everyone weaponless in the war on words.

50Cent, Xzibit..

After that, my interest dries up a bit.

I've heard and enjoyed rap in Spanish, German and a few other languages. The way a good rapper can work a sentance to fit a beat, or better yet, flow around and within it. Fascinates me and makes me bop my head. The twin tempo's.

I don't understand those who claim to have a love of language, literacy or the many various uses of it. Couldn't find something to love in some Rap songs.

It's poetry.

Apparently so

I think it helped that he seems very gifted in multiple areas and a very intelligent guy.. I'd love to have seen him come back at the guy.. can you imagine.. someone in the crowd fighting back on the spot and winning? He tells a funny story about it, might be online.

I think KRS says his own response was wack but after watching the cypher and being dissed, he wanted to be an emcee.
