Haven't heard much of him actually. Might try him out.

Im talkin about people like Chingy, TI, Trick Daddy, Lil Jon, Twista, 50 etc.

YEah I dont really enjoy gunplay in rap, especially when people battle. It just seems to me like taking the easy way out.

Did you notice he said mainstream?

Kanye & JIN are like the only non gun talkers with real deals.
And Kanye is the only one with non gun talk with real cash.

having a real deal doesnt make you a good rapper...kanye is...jin isnt...most of the cats that have real deals suck...its just about whats marketable to 12 year old white girls...12 year old white girls run rap...and right now theyre into crunk so any cat who fuckin sucks and has a southern accent gets a real deal...doesnt mean he wouldnt get murdered by 20 indie cats in a row in battles...just means hes marketable...

With the gunplay deal, yes rappers do use it quite a lot. That's the problem. I think it's alright for people to have maybe 1 or 2 songs that have lots of gunplay or a pretty mainstream as long as it isnt the focus and basic subject of the album. If it is, I dont buy it.
