Is it me, or are a lot of the famous emcees/rappers today just get fame because of how many times they've been shot in their face or how much drugs they sold in one day?

It doesn't seem like people with the skill are becoming famous because they aren't being shot in their face with a rocket launcher or something like that

I heard part of Slim Thugs 'Like A boss" or wahtever, and that song really sucked heh, I mean I think I could do better, and Lil' Jon.. I like him and everything but he doesn't really rap... heh

What you think

^^werd, like when 50 first came out, me personally, i didnt like him for the simple fact that he compared his self to Pac, and all he talked about is how he took 9 including 1 to tha jaw, but then I heard a couple of his songs and i started to feel his flows. I think we all are caught up in main stream, like when we hear sumthin about an artist or a rapper we want to kno more about him/her, so we do our own research, then we download old underground shit they did. Then when we speak about them, sum1 always has to disagree because they dont know as much as you do about that specific artist.
I kno im probably off topic now but ya'll feelz me, when we hear about a new artist, we tend to let the stories get in our heads and fuck with us.
Basically, so I can stop rambling on, it's all a form of...

PROPAGANDA!!!

They know that we as teenagers and customers look for the nigga with the illest cd cover and the hottest single out, then we buy the cds and sumtimes we get disappointed, sumtimes we dont...

Yeah.....i agree......There arent many Mcs out there that actually do Intelligent Rap....but some do have skills that dont talk bout stupid shit such as Nas, Tailb Kweli, Mos Def, Jay-Z, Immortal Tech.....& More......Plus people buy cds cuz either the media and how much they are exposed and how many other people around them talk and listen to that certain Mc.......

yo I've had dat in my mind for soo long..but I've never felt like saying shit about it cuz I thought no one would care..but it's fucking true think about it..

I get put down a lot cuz some people say I can't rap..These day's it aint about ur lyrics...it's all about fucking media and looks and record companies gettin money and shit!! holla if u feel me..

I mean come one...hip hop (the REAL hip hop) died long ago yo...

yeah nigga in some.. part u're right...

is all about money ,if u got shot or who u bang with.. u know??

thank god for the Mf that posted this thread....whole shit was true....and LMAO @ the rocket launcher

people by CDs cuz thats what they are TOLD to like through them countdown shows (among other forms of media)....countdown shows get paid off to put certain artists at certain spots....do you really think they count every one of your votes, they dont even show you how many votes each song got....WHY?, cuz its predetermined who goes where...
labels pay them off to put their songs at the top and people watching see it and are like "hey, that songs been #1 like 472 times in a row, it must be the best cd ever, i have to go buy it"....the people are TOLD they like the song because they want to fit into a group that they think is a large group that is voting for that song so they go out and buy the cd to be part of the group....people always want to fit in
