Avril Lavigne
Norah Jones

Christina
Interchangeable Boy Bands
I absolutly LOATHE
Nelly - COMPLETE interchangable beats and songs
P. Diddy - Ever heard of ORIGINALITY? I don't care if you "just wanna make everyone dance". Do it with your own beats that YOU created.
NAS
Jay-Z
Big Tymers - Except Still Fly
I don't mean to "hate", but two things here:
1) NAS is now sampling Fur Elize. I remember when Coolio sampled Pachebel Cannon. Then someone sampled Symphony 88. I swear, does ANYONE Besides Dr. Dre (and that's stretching it) know how to create their own music? MOst people are going to hear Fur Elize4 or Pachebel Cannon and say "Hey, they took that "beat" from NAS and Coolio!"
2) Why is every new rapper and every new rap song have to do with expensive cars, clothes, teeth, shoes, and flossing your shit? We get the point, you have money and you like pissing it away on superficial things. We still listen to Early 90s Death Row and 99-Current Dre and Em because they're about something besides that, ANYTHING besides that.
I know almost every rap listener knows the lyrics to Nothing But A G Thang and all the songs on Doggy Style. In a couple monthes, you're not gonna be hearing Wanksta anymore.

nas is overrated? do you even know anything about hip hop? off pure lyrical skill, he can smoke most MC's without even batting an eyelash. dr. dre being the only original producer? look at Dj premier, look at the alchemist, look at the REAL hip hop producers. they're not the ones who get the MTV airplay, which seems to be what folks base their opinion on hip hop trends. if folks would actually listen to what is being said in hip hop music vs. focusing on the beat, then people would know more. until then, don't even disrespect nasty nas.
