I miss the days of hip hop when it was Public Enemy and NWA on one side of things and DeLaSoul and Tribe Called Quest on the other...
I don't think what is being called mainstream rap (50 cent, etc.) is any less "real" I just don't like what they have to say...
It always felt like there was a fork in the road and rap (or the powers that be who chose what gets to become popular) decided to take the road where we get to talk about bitches, hoes and bling...
I kind of feel like Reggae did the same thing... if you follow me.
Can someone point me in the direction of Rap today that took the other path 'cause I think I missed my stop....
