i may be really bold for sayin this, but i love what dudes like Nelly and Lil Wayne have done to hip-hop... i mean, its all about expression and having whatever style u want... these guys came from the bottom, can you really blame them for showing off their jewelry and shit that theyve earned... and theres nothing i love better than seein some white trash try and talk down to some black dude with teeth worth more than their whole fucking house

The reason they're destroying Hip Hop is because thats the ONLY SHIT thats being played 24/7, I wouldve give a fuck if they split the radio into your shit and then like Immortal Technique, Canibus, etc.

They're telling people this is what you have to like, fine if they wanna do that go ahead...but dont stop heads who talk about communities from makin money...cuz in reality Lil Wayne should not be making more money then Talib Kweli.

peace

and you should take that 'real hip hop' shit out of your sig.

yeah, and I agree... but thats not their fault its not like theyre choosing what the people like... but the way i think about it is the reason all u hear on the radio is club shit is because what people like to hear at the club is pretty much the same shit they wanna hear in the car, cuz its good ridin music...

__________________

And they're contributing to it...the more people contribute the more this ice, cars, hoes shit gets bigger and bigger, and real hip hop diminishes and diminishes...

all of that flashing what you got shit was copied from Pac and Biggie, they're not bringing anything creative or new to Hip Hop.

well, maybe this is the problem but most rappers now arent thinkin about what they can contribute to the game, its about gettin out of the hood and talkin about what they KNOW...

And thats why they suck, they're not expanding their minds or anyone elses...they're doing the same bullshit cycle all the time, thats why Hip Hop isnt elevating.
