See, a real artist actually has something to talk about other than how many niggaz he's killed in a fucking song. A real artist can actually write lyrics with meaning and substance. A real artist can actually blow up because of his talent, not because he was shot 9 times and lived. A real artist can talk about many subjects and not make his works sound repetitive as shit. A real artist can capture the imagination and make you think about what was said and just say, "Damn that was a dope line." A real artist is also able to provide symbolism and other writing techniques in his works, and by symbolism I don't mean the number "nine" symbolizing a nine-millimeter. A real artist has a stage presence so powerful that it can make a crowd nod their head, throw up their hands, or even shed a tear to a song.
