Money and Image -It's no longer real unless you around the Real Hip Hop other than that you gotta be hard (5o cent) a singer (nelly) or be crunk (trillville,lil jon etc) thats whats in and makes them money,yrs ago just havin good lyrical content is what made them money and what made people enjoy listenin to hip hop but as time progessed people would rather listen to this simple minded ,subliminal message,get crunk,white tee Shitz.

hopefully the new nas, mos def,common and CanIbus will help ressurect hip hop and bring it back.

Much Respect
