I see where you are coming from, and I have definitely seen a lot of people who are like this. I wouldn't really say its "Real Hip hop", but a different style of hip hop.

I don't really like how a lot of rappers only rap about money, girls, cars and drugs though.

I think claiming any type of music is more "real," than any other is pure stupidity.

There's some hip hop artists who have had everything handed to them on a silver platter, and there's some who've had to bust their teeth to get where they are. Either way, regardless, in the end they are musicians who produce and or create music to be sold and distributed, and possibly perform live shows.

It's all entertainment, every artists out there is an entertainer by the definition. Some may have a different mindset going in, and want to spread a different word, but nobody will ever please everyone. I'm a metal-head that listens to old-school metal, but I also enjoy old-school rap. I enjoy the sounds I hear, so I continue to listen to what I like.

Personally, I can't stand the music of today's generation, but there's no sense in bashing it, because the artists of today wouldn't be where they are if they weren't obviously pleasing people.

It seems like more people these days are just looking for a reason to bash and be haters, nobody just does their own thing anymore, I swear.

Those people you listed aren't even Hip Hop, lol. They're considered Rap. I agree with you though, everyone that calls today's rappers Hip Hop need to learn what Hip Hop really is.

Totally agree with you. Hip Hop is a culture not only a music genre.
