I feel we have let the boundry of hip hop slip, hence the reason the fakest of humans are making generic bullshit and it being placed in the catagory of hip hop.

I admit, there is some dope,deep, meaningful, insightfull spoken word peices out there.
But that doesnt mean its comes under the catagory of hip hop. People arent consitant enough on there view of what hip hop is.
