THIS is what's wrong with rap. THIS is why rap sucks now. Because you need STREET CRED to rap. So that translates into, the more you've fucked around with the law, the more you've fucked around being a dumb shit,the better rapper you are. 50 cent solidifyied this system like a motherfucker when he came professing his getting shot 9 times ordeal. Sent ja rule right out the window and now rap is following him. The cycle needs to be broken if true artists are to emerge.

As for Kanye, I like him and have much respect for him. He's better than so many other producers out there in that he's trying to ADVANCE rap music. He's trying to make it better and add element to it. You can see what I mean from his first album to his second. the difference is clear. His raps are improving with every track. Infact, he's becoming better than many other top mc's simply because of his work ethic. He wants the world for fucking real.

As for what he says or how he acts -- I'm fine and dandy with it all. I respect the fact that he stands behind his principles and beliefs through and through. Whether what he says is right or wrong is for you to judge.

if kayne west is that little dude who sings about goldiggers, right?

he sucks.

that's the worst music dullboy has ever had the displeasure of listening to.

Common is smarter and has way more skills.

Peace to Common and Chicago rap

I wanted to respond to this. There is a "new wave" going on right now in rap music that is more groove and funk and less street that Common is in to. I like this movement as I think it will permeate the racial line. But due to suburban Americas "interest" with street rap I'm not so sure how popular it is

Yes Common is a good rapper and is also a member of the ROC. Peace to Common and Chicago rap

that music makes dullboys ears hurt it's so fucking awful.

if you're over the age of 14 and enjoy this type of music, there's something wrong with you. seriously wrong. lol

Never heard of Common, but I love old 70's funk music. If it is like that, with rap, I will definitely check it out.

 

[dullboy]

who's better? justin timberlake or kane west?


dullboy says justin timberlake.

I wasn't saying that it would be stupid for him to cater to his "black folks" - I was saying it would be stupid to NOT also cater to white folks, which he CERTAINLY does. lol @ "being real". Define that for me please.

White kids liking his music is not just "by chance". It is a direct byproduct of the way he markets himself - from his clothes, to his lyrics, to his appearances, etc.

I don't give a shit about politics and don't ever plan on it - so I won't address any of that. It's just another form of segregation - actually, it's probably the WORST and most EXTREME form of segregation in this country and world.

There's a big part of this you are missing. You wanna know who the biggest promoters of rap music are

1. FBI
2. LAPD
3. Tipper Gore
4. Frivilous lawsuite where people say "that rap song made me do it"

They should have never banned Body Count and made attempts to ban NWA records
