In this day and age EVERYBODY raps. I mean seriously, everybody. It actually makes me lose motivation when I see some idiot at my school sayin' he raps. It makes me think "damn I gotta really stick out". And overall hip hop IS dead. People want fantasy now. =/ Its dyin off and as much as I wanna be mainstream, I'm almost in pure disgust over what it stands for. I might just get some small house and be some battler for money. Or just be underground. Well not underground, just a mainstream artist who doesn't try to appeal at all.
