No, we're not deprived, we just can't stand to listen to this multi million dollar 'gangsta' rap about how he's all 'poor' and living in the 'ghetto'. A multi-million dollar Beverly Hills home isn't exactly the ghetto. It's all a bunch of commercialized crap. [/b][/quote] well you could always listen to some real rap music instead of the multi-million dollar 'gangsta rap'. I think its sad that people always have that general consensus about rap/hip hop music, that its all about money/cash/hoes and nothin else. You know theres a lot of rappers out there just like mike who rap about the same thing.
There is nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with any art at all. It's just people's experience and perception that may be skewed.
i prefer clean rap (like mike's duh) because they aint singing about pimpin...cash...whores....but its like mike's raps are about things that really matter....
Another great rapper(who doesn't sound like mike) that is multi-talented goes by the name of Kheaven Brereton.
i don't like rap-it's all just commercialised sh**-not to talk about the inventivity of the guys-every video is about the rapper with clothes 10 numbers bigger than it should be,he's floating in money in his house in the middle of la,and not to mention the naked women in EVERY SINGLE VIDEO-i mean not that i don't like that,but get inventive,people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is like so over-exaggerating it. The only rappers that tend to have videos like that is 50 cent...ummm chingy, ja rule and maybe snoop dogg. thats only 4 rappers....and 3 out of the 4 are some of the worst lol ha

Personally, I don't think there are other artists who sound like Mike Shinoda, but there are probably artists who, most definitely, have a rapping style similar to his. I do like Mike Shinoda's rapping style more than the typical mainstream rap, but other artists are good too (don't take me wrong).
