Stereotypes
Maverick:
i'd be inclined to agree that ignorant tools are usually the type to rain abuse on hip-hop fans.... it can be argued that emo's deserve it, but perhaps more the contemporary melodramatic emo rather than your traditional emo.
Se7en:
Oh, hip hop fans deserve it too. The vast majority of it is music for chav girls.
MilkmanDan:
--- Quote from: elcapitan ---I don't have the experience on the emo side of that, but Roots Manuva and Blackalicious (as two very obvious examples) say you're wrong about nothing new and interesting in hip-hop.

Those artists are hardly representative of most peoples' experience of Hip-Hop. If your idea of Hip-Hop is limited to the world of G-Unit and Nelly, then there is a unified stereotype with almost no variation. In which case, it is easy to mock. Same with Emo.

Insignificant comment that I thought I had deleted after posting.

inclined to agree. Nelly and G-Unit are what i would call 'pop' branches of rap and gangsta rap. if that is what your musical spectrum is limited to, i can see why one would pay out hip-hop. Australian Hip-Hop is awesome. Recomend "Lyrical Commision", "Bobby T", "The Herd" (for something political), much of the "Hilltop Hoods" and many others. Tupac is a classic, The Roots, Mehod man and Redman, Cypress Hill....just some of my american favs. But i'm not a very knowledgable Hip-Hop fan and i'm not all to familiar with the underground scene. metal is the go \m/
