When I say Hip Hop I mean the culture that came to forefront in the early 90’s with the emergence of groups like N.W.A. and gangsta rap. Because before this movement gained prominence, hip hop was a positive force that gave its fans a politcal voice, a dope beat to bounce to, and a sanctuary from the oppressive conditions and environment that surrounded them….all WITHOUT demeaning and degrading themselves, glorifying ingorance and gang life + mentality, and putting a cheap price on selling out. What do you think?
Nay Nay, I agree that most of the M.C.s out there arent producing this garbage. And yes there is a difference betwenn an M.C. and a rapper. But you gotta take into account….that the M.C.s arent the ones getting the national and internatinal exposure. The sellout bubbergum rappers are the ambassadors parading the veiled form self-hate for hip hoppers to peoples around the globe. Mos Def isnt on Bet 24/7….50 cent is tho. Common cant get no air time in ATL, but you can catch Lil Wayne on the radio at any given time talkin bout make it rain.
