Tupac
Nas
Common
Jay z (The former)
Scarface
Styles P
The era of soulful hip hop seems to be dead. The voice of the people who are suffering that aren't making money from drugs or making it as a hip hop star but that are stuck in the hood with no hope has been silenced. These poets spoke the truth and from the heart.
The next group we have is the rappers the ones who no matter what will tell you that they made it rich already through the street and that they carried weapons which were used all the time. These rappers lack heart like the poets but are at the highest IQ of rappers. They are the voice of the hustlers, killers and players. They paint pictures of factious situation with no remorse but the intelligence of these individuals is actually remarkable. I call them the bill gates of hip hop. Let's just look at six.
Biggie
Drake
Eminem
Jay z (The New)
Beanie Sigel
Jadakiss
Now it seems that this eras back since drake has appeared.
The last group we have is the artists now these ones are the quick money makers of hip hop but all seem to fizzle out very fast. They set trends and dances that have the world going crazy. They ruled hip hop for the last few years. Nas has claimed they are the death of hip hop. I say well they bring money to hip hop and attention but it's up to the rest to show people the real music when the attention is grabbed. Here are 4 of these artists.
Artist
Soulja boy
50 cent
Plies
Lil Wayne
Snoop Dogg
Dem Franchise Boyz.
But in conclusions it looks like the year of the artist is dying and the year of rappers will start.
