What's fuckin' up rap today?

IP:

Truthfully, commercial rap sucks dick these days. There aren't any truly talented lyricist and the truly talented ones don't get credit....

Guys like Pharoah Monch, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Raekwon, and others really haven't made a big name for themselves as solo artist even though they are lyrically more talented then the highest mark and majority of mainstream rappers.

Eminem is the best lyricist in mainstream rap but he changed his style up. Nas still hasn't reached a level near the level of It Was Written because he's tryna make what the PEOPLE wanna hear instead of rhyming from the heart. Jay-Z has declined in the emceeing category since Volume 2 even though he brought back some true emceein' in the Blueprint.

Then you look into the underground and see talents like Juice, Supernatural, Eyedea, Benefit, Sage Francis, Chino XL, Planet Asia, and others and see they got talent but ain't makin' the do'...

Who's messing up lyricism in rap today? Is it the fans that don't care about skill and just wanna hear bout the money, sex, scandal, murder, etc. etc? Or is it that there isn't enough talent in rap today?

I think it's the retarded fans that think they know hip hop but if you asked them the four elements they'd be speechless...

Get mah drift? Hit me up with a response....
