i agree, i wish so much the game was like the 90s wit big,pac and nas i wish it was all about underground battling and showing your true lyrical skills, now they seem to be taking everyone who looks good in a jersey or silver teeth, it sucks now...if pac is still alive he needs to bring that old school shit back

Money and Image -It's no longer real unless you around the Real Hip Hop other than that you gotta be hard (5o cent) a singer (nelly) or be crunk (trillville,lil jon etc) thats whats in and makes them money,yrs ago just havin good lyrical content is what made them money and what made people enjoy listenin to hip hop but as time progessed people would rather listen to this simple minded ,subliminal message,get crunk,white tee Shitz.

hopefully the new nas, mos def,common and CanIbus will help ressurect hip hop and bring it back.

Much Respect
