this is a common song.

it original, you MEVER seen this done at the time, and thius also sparked beef between common and nwa.
i will post the song of common rippin nwa next.

Verse One:
I met this girl, when I was ten years old
And what I loved most she had so much soul
She was old school, when I was just a shorty
Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me
on the regular, not a church girl she was secular
Not about the money, no studs was mic checkin her
But I respected her, she hit me in the heart
A few New York niggaz, had did her in the park
But she was there for me, and I was there for her
Pull out a chair for her, turn on the air for her
and just cool out, cool out and listen to her
Sittin on a bone, wishin that I could do her
Eventually if it was meant to be, then it would be
because we related, physically and mentally
And she was fun then, I'd be geeked when she'd come around
Slim was fresh yo, when she was underground
Original, pure untampered and down sister
Boy I tell ya, I miss her
Verse Two:
Now periodically I would see
ol girl at the clubs, and at the house parties
She didn't have a body but she started gettin thick quick
DId a couple of videos and became afrocentric
Out goes the weave, in goes the braids beads medallions
She was on that tip about, stoppin the violence
About my people she was teachin me
By not preachin to me but speakin to me
in a method that was leisurely, so easily I approached
She dug my rap, that's how we got close
But then she broke to the West coast, and that was cool
Cause around the same time, I went away to school
And I'm a man of expandin, so why should I stand in her way
She probably get her money in L.A.
And she did stud, she got big pub but what was foul
She said that the pro-black, was goin out of style
She said, afrocentricity, was of the past
So she got into R B hip-house bass and jazz
Now black music is black music and it's all good
I wasn't salty, she was with the boys in the hood
Cause that was good for her, she was becomin well rounded
I thought it was dope how she was on that freestyle shit
Just havin fun, not worried about anyone
And you could tell, by how her titties hung
Verse Three:
I might've failed to mention that the shit was creative
But once the man got you well he altered the native
Told her if she got an energetic gimmick
That she could make money, and she did it like a dummy
Now I see her in commercials, she's universal
She used to only swing it with the inner-city circle
Now she be in the burbs lickin rock and dressin hip
And on some dumb shit, when she comes to the city
Talkin about poppin glocks servin rocks and hittin switches
Now she's a gangsta rollin with gangsta bitches
Always smokin blunts and gettin drunk
Tellin me sad stories, now she only fucks with the funk
Stressin how hardcore and real she is
She was really the realest, before she got into showbiz
I did her, not just to say that I did it
But I'm committed, but so many niggaz hit it
That she's just not the same lettin all these groupies do her
I see niggaz slammin her, and takin her to the sewer
But I'ma take her back hopin that the shit stop
Cause who I'm talkin bout y'all is hip-hop

im 17 right....and i no a shit load about hip hop... im not hating on you in no way at all.but you speaking as though hip hop is only rapping..hip hop is far more than that..its far more than graffiti,breakdancing,dj'ing and mc'ing. hip hop is now a life style. and if you living the lifestyle you got diffrent belifs and morals than most of our elders. hip hop has allways been a culture and allways will be. In a way its kind of like a religion..without a god..(unless you look 2wards the sky and remember 2pac and biggie). but everything you spoke on abou t"hip hop" you only talked about rappers. hip hop has allways been so much more than that. hip hop is so deep in my heart nothing will ever tear it out. its not like a song you like and then get sick of it once you hear it 20 -30 times. Ive watched hip hop evolve from the days of talib's forst single. To the so many diffrent styles in it today. you ware right .we only used to see a hip hop beat on tv once a week..now we got whole shows dedicated to the music. but look pastt the music the art and the dance.. We living a life that is to be the future of the world. Our belifs that we ha learnt from hip hop is whats gonna save this planet. Us as the peole of hip hop belive things our parents and elders never even cared about ..and its ben taught to me by hip hop............................ hip hop is more than music..its a way of life and if your willing to use what has been taught to you in a positive way we can create a brighter future for our children to come............
anyway just my opinion....

^word to that nigga up there.
i will call it by its actual name.
RAP.
Hip hop IS culture.

^agreeded and that is a o.k common song not doper then banks on the lyrical exercise beat though not even close

^OMG???
That whole common song was full of lyrics
the entie song was a fuckin metaphore.
Common is waaaaaay better than Loyld Banks.
you have yet to show me a g unit song thats not about ice, cars or any other comercial shit.

ok many men and 21 qusestions and 2 sets of footprints and thered madd more sun

many men will not slide, cause the entire song is about guns.

21 questions is cool.
post the lyrics to 2 sets of footsteps

thats the buck single im on the g-unit album and im not typing all that shit down sun anyways back to the topic the south is whacked and i think they have brought hip-hop down and 93-96 were the best years in hip-hop

^dont type it , dumbass.
find the lrics and post it.

if ou claim g unit's better than common, then defend them.
because common would fuckin slaughter g unit.

who care back to the topic im not looking for that shit

the topic is
the south is destroying rap.
and so is g unit.
because they';re garbage.

fine back to the topic you have a right to your opion i think otherwise but whatever do you think hip-hop is moving more away from the grafitti and d.jing cuz i dont see much of either anymore djs just play music and do shout outs over it
