To be famous...
 
Is it me, or are a lot of the famous emcees/rappers today just get fame because of how many times they've been shot in their face or how much drugs they sold in one day?

It doesn't seem like people with the skill are becoming famous because they aren't being shot in their face with a rocket launcher or something like that

I heard part of Slim Thugs 'Like A boss" or wahtever, and that song really sucked heh, I mean I think I could do better, and Lil' Jon.. I like him and everything but he doesn't really rap... heh

What you think

Yeah.....i agree......There arent many Mcs out there that actually do Intelligent Rap....but some do have skills that dont talk bout stupid shit such as Nas, Tailb Kweli, Mos Def, Jay-Z, Immortal Tech.....& More......Plus people buy cds cuz either the media and how much they are exposed and how many other people around them talk and listen to that certain Mc.......

the thing that influences sales now isnt the way you sound or look

its how these listeners think others will view them while listening to their shitty music

yo I've had dat in my mind for soo long..but I've never felt like saying shit about it cuz I thought no one would care..but it's fucking true think about it..

I get put down a lot cuz some people say I can't rap..These day's it aint about ur lyrics...it's all about fucking media and looks and record companies gettin money and shit!! holla if u feel me..

I mean come one...hip hop (the REAL hip hop) died long ago yo...
but it's all good...rapping really isn't my thing..it's only leisure time, I don't plan to be famous...but cheah!!

all that's true..now game's commin in dis "game" and he got shot...who's fucking next??u know?? :spit:

Young Crip 01-21-05 04:02 PM

yeah nigga in some.. part u're right...

is all about money ,if u got shot or who u bang with.. u know??

MadProphet 01-21-05 04:28 PM

thank god for the Mf that posted this thread....whole shit was true....and LMAO @ the rocket launcher

people by CDs cuz thats what they are TOLD to like through them countdown shows (among other forms of media)....countdown shows get paid off to put certain artists at certain spots....do you really think they count every one of your votes, they dont even show you how many votes each song got....WHY?, cuz its predetermined who goes where...
labels pay them off to put their songs at the top and people watching see it and are like "hey, that songs been #1 like 472 times in a row, it must be the best cd ever, i have to go buy it"....the people are TOLD they like the song because they want to fit into a group that they think is a large group that is voting for that song so they go out and buy the cd to be part of the group....people always want to fit in
