slightly off topic but whats everyones views on "Gangsta!" rap? is it good? rubbish? what u all think?Peace
This for me is a touchy subject... At first, it fueled my love for Rap/hip hop. I loved Too $hort, NWA, Geto Boys, etc. After the Pioneering groups starting to get massive exposure, it seemed that Gangsta Rap turned into a gimmick to make dough. It changed the whole landscape. FUN turned into serious, dark, and money driven, dudes started rappin' about the same sh!t over and over and for me it was a huge turnoff. I, being from a suburb of a not-so-big city, didn't have access to what we call Underground Hip Hop groups because the Internet wasn't invented yet.. I mean to us back then, 2nd II None was super underground... The Mainstream movement led me to discouragement as a fan & I just let it go one day. I gave up on Hip Hop... 
I probably went like 6 or 7 years disliking Hip Hop, focusing more on Alt & Classic Rock & Reggae...
So as a fans of the P, y'all can imagine how I reacted the first time I heard OST's Intro where Thes says he used to be a fan at one time but lost hope, so he took sh!t into his own hands... To me this was like finding a long lost friend! I could relate to all the stories Thes & Dub kick and before you know it, I was not only reviving my love for Hip Hop, but came to realize how much music in general that I was missing out on. To this day it still blows my mind how, if it wasn't for Hip Hop, I'd not care nearly as much about our musical history and what there is out there to digest & enjoy.
Sorry for the long-winded response, but to answer your question mambo... Yes, IMO, Gangsta Rap is rubbish & played out.
