Pure Rap

Will Gangsta Rap make a comeback?

I'm tired of the cheesy pop-rap they play on the radio. Isn't it time for gangsta rap to make a comeback?

6. Well is anybody in the music industry really "Gangsta" these days? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtI6zQW7QGsvc1Sop6VQmhPsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090804055809AAdboBe
7. yes everything comes around. The 80's type rap with all the dancing is going on now just be patient. Most of the rappers from the 80's did a lot of dancing and did dance parties especially on the block. Everything will get recycled. This is the dance era believe me it will end to and a rebirth of real rap will happen. Nobody thought bling rap would end but the bling era is over now it is the dance era and to some of yall coments gangsta rap is better than mafiso fake rap
8. Let's hope not, these weak minded kidz are killin' for less than nothin' already. Go buy all of Scarfaces albums and be happy.
9. No cause people that can rap dont get signed but people like Coochie Man,OJ da Juiceman, and all other dance music ruins their chance
10. what more do you want, there's already scarface, biggie, tupac, nwa, dr dre, ice cube... revivals, like the blues one in the 60s, always in the end produce sub par music compared to the classic.
11. yea i was jus sayin tha other day that i would love to hear some new material from onyx..doesn't get more gangsta than them
12. Co-Sign Fiend.
13. gangsta rap is dead 2pac himself said it
14. I hope so, if only Ice Cube, Dre, Snoop, and The Game collaborated.
15. i hope so, and i totally agree with yuhh. Someone whos got the skills and balls to bring back gangsta rap will pop up eventually.
