NWA, Beastie Boys, Run DMC, PE ... would be considered classics.

Eminem and Snoop I would not put into their category IMO. Not just yet.

Snoop maybe if you take into consideration the whole ganja thing. Eminem for his success ... but in terms of Rap classics they are not at the same level.

I'm no fan of rap, but I would say snoop is classic. Eminem on the ohther hand... :rolleyes:

Waaay too late in the night for me to reply to this so I'll just subscribe and respond tomorrow. Goodnight.

I don't think rap's gotten worse. I think that since it's become more mainstream more of the crap has become evident. There was probably just as much crap back in 1990 as there is today.

Um, does B-Shoc = Da Flame??? They look remarkably similar, and B-Shoc(ka!) has a Green Bay hat on while the SUV on the IHS site has a Green Bay vanity plate.

Rap may have gone to hell...

Hip Hop however...
