<p>Racial equality? So you're saying that you have to be black or white to rap? I don't see how what I'm saying is even just "PC rhetoric." It's common sense. By the same token, you could pull the same line that people pulled on Eminem and say that because he's white, he can't rap. Silliness in its purest form.</p>
<p>M-Flo is made up of more than one person. Whose voice "grates?"</p>
<p>In m-flo? VERBAL. But I suppose that's a matter of taste.</p>
<p>Sorry, I was in a strange mood last night. BTW, sorry for the capitalization error.</p>
<p>Verbal doesn't bother me much, but then again, neither does Eminem and a lot of people don't like his voice much. I also like the Beastie Boys, so that might tell you something...</p>
<p>I think that if you really dig into the Japanese hip-hop scene, you'll find people who will fit most tastes AND are good with their rhymes. Heck, Japanese as a language lends itself to clean rhymes.</p>
<p>Jin thinks he's Eminem.</p>
<p>If by that you mean, "he has good freestyles," then yes. Otherwise, no.</p>
<p>But I'm sure you can articulate your argument, so let's hear it.</p>
<p>Is it just me, or do all rappers sound the same: there is no difference between a wannabe and a cool rapper?</p>
<p>O_O</p>
<p>Are you serious?</p>
<p>Rappers sound VERY different! The flow, voice, and inflections they give each word is amazing to me. I'm quite in awe of what they are able to do and convey, given the vocal constraints of the genre! And this comes, BTW, from a person who plays violin, loves Rimsky-Korsakov, and listens to electronic dance music (from house to trance) on CD.</p>
<p>a778999,</p>
<p>Compare 2Pac to say... DMX. You'll hear a huge difference.</p>
<p>ahaha. asian rappers. sorry, it's just too funny to think of them</p>
<p>DMX is better, but IMO it's because of the background music.</p>
<p>DMX is better than 2Pac?</p>
<p>Sheez... the future of hip-hop is grim... :(</p>
<p>This was what I looked at</p>
<p>2pac: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZrMpU-QEoo%5B/url%5D">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZrMpU-QEoo</a>
DMX: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXWsWrmrH6Y%5B/url%5D">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXWsWrmrH6Y</a></p>
<p>I told you I don't get rap!</p>
<p>I guess one could also try KM-MARKIT, but he is not as good as M-Flo (at least if he keeps the style he presented on a certain Kato Miliyah video.)</p>
