Man, I had no idea how great their lineup was. That's really impressive. And only 50$ for tickets... This is just another reason I wish I lived in California.

**SilverHammer** · 1st February 2011

They seem to be getting more and more people on the bill with each year just peep the line-ups from the last couple of years:

Yeah, it's definitely getting bigger. But each different year has people I really want to see. 2009, especially: Atmosphere, Brother Ali and Eyedea and Abilities all together would have been great. One day I'm going to go to one of these. Have you been?

**SilverHammer** · 1st February 2011

Nah i'm definitely gonna try to make it to this year's show though. My bro went to the '09 show, I really gotta ask him how it was

I like the beat and Lupe's part, but Skylar Grey's part sounds kinda...angsty.

What exactly do you mean by prison yard workout? What type of songs are you looking for?

**Funcoot** · 3rd February 2011

Why are you calling it prison yard workout if your asking for clean rap you can play in school? haha

**strayebyrd** · 3rd February 2011

I'd think of Prison yard hip-hop to be like DMX 'I'll rape your dead body you *expletive deleted* and then I'll *expletive deleted* your *expletive deleted* whilst all the other *expletive deleted* all be runnin' and cryin' like little *expletive deleted* you *expletive deleted*'

**nono345** · 3rd February 2011

yes just when you watch a movie and there are tattooed black men bench pressing, it's the music you hear in the background as the creative director does about 6/7 different camera cuts of the yard

THAT type of music

You know they don't even have exercise equipment in most prisons, let alone boomboxes.

Can someone recommend some good grime artists, like wiley?

Snoop Dogg.

**MountainWatcher** · 6th February 2011

I actually love the premsies of rap. Spontaneous poetry requires ingenuity. But why must it always convey stupid messages? It's either about being better than others, sex or money.

It has such great potential, but it's thrown away, it's completely acceptable in rap battles, most are very witty, but I get tired of listening to "Fuck bitches with wads of money sprinkled with cocaine erryday".

Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

**SilverHammer** · 6th February 2011

Part of being an MC is being (or at least making yourself out to be) as much of a badass as possible. You can't move the crowd if you're just some guy with a microphone.

or maybe you don't listen to any rap music and assume it's all about bitches

**MountainWatcher** · 6th February 2011

But the emotion should come from the music itself, not the guy who's playing it. And why must you be badass to move the crowd? Why not any other personality that's just as vibrant?

True, I don't listen to a lot of rap music, but I do know that the classics (the ones thought of to be the best) are considered to be 2pac and Biggie Smalls, and the sort, right? And if I remember correctly, their music is centered mostly about warfare and the whole East/West caost thing, right?

Again, if I'm wrong, correct me and I'll be on my way.
