seems artist like lupe fiasco, the beastie boys, and other rappers who rap about other things besides the streets dont get respected even tho they are great, creative, and fun to listin to. what do you think?
no…theres plenty of rappers that get respect and arent like that.
to be popular u gotta be bad…in the hip-hop industry
so kids can see him cool
No. As long as their music is good– it doesn’t matter too much what their style is.
no rappers are like that because of there past they grew in the hood or in messed up places so they keep that life style till there caeer
Nah look at Kanye West
no kanye west is a good example
no yo whoa uh oh get doe lets go
