Stop crying about people's playlists already. There are plenty of music threads on this site that will tell you what people listen to. If you want examples of what folks like, take your butt to the media forum and look for yourself.

And your point is? Like I said, if you want to know what people listen to, check out the music threads in the media forum.

This. She may fit in with these jokers today, but she wouldn't have lasted a year in the Golden Era. I don't even think she can handle Lady Sovereign. Could you imagine her up against Latifah, Monie Love, Lyte or Roxanne Shante in their prime?

You don't even have to go that far back. Staying with just female rappers out today Snow Tha Product kills her.

Hey Ra, look at TDK trying to crap on a defenseless old guy, lol. And the golden era was 1988-1994 (or 1996, depending on who you talk to). You young'uns are always trying to latch on to our history. Lol

Key words : YOUR FAVORITE RAP ALBUMS. Ask any head younger than yourself & the majority will have the same attitude towards most of the post 2000 rap/hip hop that you have about the 90's hip hop. They'll say their shit is the best ever. It's all about what was hot at the time you were most into the music.

And that's his preference. As is yours. I'm sure you can find many other people here that will agree with you, older, younger & same age range alike. There will never be a universally recognized & undisputed "Golden Age of Hip Hop" era just like there will never be a universally recognized & undisputed "Top Ten Greatest Rappers of All" list. Everyone has their preferences & standards for what would be needed to qualify for either.

Iggy can't touch any of the real female MCs, past or present...she's as annoying as Nicki Minaj and her voice makes me cringe.

As far as the Golden Age of hip hop goes, it's definitely a subjective thing. As many of you know from my posting history, old school is my favorite.

Didn't Nicki Minaj & Lil Kim allegedly have beef with one another because Minaj was claiming she was a far better rapper than Lil Kim was in her prime or something to that effect? Or was that just some behind the scenes bullshit to hype up Nicki Minaj in order to sell records?

Kim accused nicki of stealing her style.
 
Ra said:
So they were having beef over both being raunchy style female rappers? :rolleyes:

Essential, kim felt that nicki was her carbon copy without atleast giving (kim) proper respect. Nicki felt she was as original as can be and shot back by claiming that the beef was kim's solemn attempt at renewing her limelight.
 
I gotta give Iggy her props. Think about it, a blonde Australian girl into hip hop that managed to carve a career out of it is not easily done. You have to really love the music and commit yourself to it to make a career of things.

Her backstory shows that.

Iggy Azalea was born Amethyst Amelia Kelly, in Sydney, Australia. Her family later relocated to Mullumbimby, New South Wales, when she was still an infant, into a house on 12 acres that her father built by hand from mud bricks. Her father was a painter and comics artist, while her mother cleaned holiday houses and hotels. Azalea says her father "made her look at [art] as a teenager", which has always influenced her life and work.

Azalea began rapping at age 14. Before embarking on a solo career, Azalea formed a group with two other girls from her neighborhood: "I was like, I could be the rapper. This could be like TLC. I'll be Left Eye." Azalea eventually decided to disband the group because the other girls weren't taking it seriously: "I take everything I do serious. I'm too competitive."

In pursuit of her desire of moving to America, Azalea dropped out of high school; instead choosing to work and save the money she earned by cleaning hotel rooms and holiday houses with her mother. She claims to have hated school, which, besides her art class, only made her miserable. She also said she had no friends and was teased for her homemade outfits.

Azalea traveled to the United States in 2006, right before she turned 16. She told her parents she was going "on a holiday" with a friend, but eventually decided to stay and shortly after told them she was not coming back home: "I was drawn to America because I felt like an outsider in my own country, I was in love with hip hop, and America is the birthplace of that, so I figured the closer I was to the music, the happier I'd be. I was right."

She recalled: "My mum was crying, saying, 'Just be safe.' I was thinking, 'I'm going by myself. I'm fucking crazy!" After her arrival in America, she resided in the U.S. on a visa waiver for six years, leaving the country every three months to renew it. She is currently in the country on a five-year O visa, having previously earned money illegally.

You're entitled to your opinion. If you like NM (or Justin Bieber lol), more power to you. I'm not a fan and never will be regardless of whether or not anyone else is. I like what I like, and that's all there is to it.

I'm sure their silly little beef was about publicity for both of them.
