Where is the real hip hop music going?

[SteveO]

I enjoy Fran Savage, intelligently produced record ..although he's somewhat unknown.

my views on rap in general....

they seem to promote a 'gangster' lifestyle...drugs,guns,violence,hookers,violence towards women,and treating them like objects not people etc etc...

the only rap i like has to say something intelligent...2pac's latter material,eminem and thats about it really, though do like bits of 50cent,D-12,public enemy,lil wayne, planB, very little else im afraid???
