When HipHop first started, It wasn't about money..It was MC's being creative..And experimenting with a new sound, Something The black people could call thier own, To this day there are still MC's outhere that are doing the same thing...It's not about money, The MC's that your hearing on the radio are shit..Well the majority of them are anyways.
All these new MC's that have been coming out the past 5 years or so...Have totally been fucking the scene up with thier lyrics about how much money they got and Bling Bling shit...It's bullshit.
That's not what rap is about...Good HipHop is the shit being produced that's not mainstream...They are Spitting pure Knowledge...I have seen some of K-Wises lyrics that has written, That's HipHop.
So pretty much what I am saying is that i agree with you that the HipHop that you are seeing on TV & hearing on the radio is 90% garbage...But that's all that you are hearing, You don't hear the underground shit that has a totally different sound...I mean ya it's rap, But the tracks have a totally different meaning than the shit you are hearing.
I have said this before...Like the average HipHop head wants to hear some pussy ass MC rap about how much money he's got..And whatever else that they be clockin.
I want to hear Rap that I can relate to...And MC's that rap about Bling Bling and how many bitches they got and how they have a different car for everyday of the week...i can't relate to that, And I bet the majority of thier fans can't relate to that either.
So what you are hearing is totally different than the real shit that's being produced in the underground scene.
