I love rap, it's been a school to me. I joined it in the ‘00s, and I did all my homework on what I've missed. My favorite is the skul of ‘90s, and as my Id states, that's the level i've achieved, the highest as far as I'm concerned. In the last 10 years or so, a lot has changed in this school of mine, and I'm not feeling it as I used to anymore. Lets take a walk
It used to be ‘from rags to riches', but now it's ‘through drugs to riches'. See, one of the main aims when Hiphop started was to give the youth alternatives to doing/dealing drugs, through rapping, break-dancing, graffiting, and DJ'ing. But it seems like the nu' skul is paying homage to the drug game, one-way or the other. From Rick Ross tellin' his daydreams of pushing weight in Miami, and his fantasies of blowin' his money fast like them Flenory brothers, to Jay-Z tellin' how cool he is, he only pays Dwayne Wade while Jeezy is paying Lebron. And now a fool ain't afraid of confessing his love for the coco. Wanna guess what's next? Be my guest.
If you a woman, plastic sells. How many of you would still be listening to your pink Barbie today if she didn't have them assets thanx to her surgeon? I say not many. And have you ever heard of that talk of her being the G.O.A.T woman in the game? PLEASE! The game went from sisters who would nonchalantly remind us to get our shit together, to a one who's only concerned with our anacondas. And that shit is catching up fast with our societies man, you can't deny bleaching is the name of the game for our sisters nowadays. Only a matter of time before they too, can afford them plastics. Ma'man told y'all there's no need to fix what God has already put is paintbrush on, but y'all chose not to listen.
Every rapping is emceeing. Most Cats seem to mix these 2 terms, and that's damn wrong. Nowadays even the likes of 2 Chainz, Big Sean, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, K.O, Ice Prince, Casper Nyovest, Aka etc are considered Emcees. I won't go deep into this now, coz it needs a deeper discussion and I'm writing some on it. But for now, I'd tell you this, hotness is in rapping, emceeing only have greatness. Black-Star also gave a brief definition on emceeing too, you can listen.
Dumb contents, dumb lyrics, dumb everything. In the nu' skul game, all you need is a fat beat, some flows and you can say whatever you want, however you want and get props and massive air-play. Didn't Jay-Z say there's no need to rhymewith Common Sense or U-Kweli in your Lyrics, when you can drop some ordinary shit and make millions? Well he didn't exactly say it like that, but it sounds all the same. Have you tried and listen to what Casper's saying in the ‘Doc Shebeleza', or what Ice Prince and Aka are saying in their ‘N Word rmx'? garbage, but the songs are catchy man, and they got some nice videos too, matter fact, it's hard to ignore that part in the latter's vid when those 2 Chicks smack each others' assets. We no longer have the teachings of De La Soul to remind us that, if you lose touch with reality, your personality will become an un-wanted commodity, and you will fall. Instead, we got Lil Wayne telling us about poo-sey in almost every verse of his, poo-sey this, poo-sey that.
Promote Homosexual, and be promoted. For long there's been some rumors of gay acts in the game. Cats like Diddy, Dre, Drake, Lil Wayne, and Birdman have all been mentioned at some points. The saddest part is, y'all not seeing. Wizzy and Birdman kissed in public, y'all justified that, then the fool added ‘F Baby' to his name and said F was for phenomenon, y'all bought it. Now Birdman started rolling with Young Thug, who's openly gay, and Wizzy wants out, but still some y'all are justifying that. Maybe that's cool with you, but I'm too African and Christian to support that shit.
so y'all find this ok? ok.
There's a lot of weird things going on in the game today, and I can't help but think we are being set-up. What's more scary is, we are being set-up from all angles, the education system is setting us up, religions are setting us up, politicians are setting us up, technology is setting us up, it's traps everywhere man. Only a few minds will survive whatever it is they are setting us up for, the independent minds. I'm just trying to use my head while praying to God he doesn't let me be pigeonholed in no regular jobs, so I can afford time and everything necessary to guide my kids. As for you, I just hope you too will realize in time that, only He can save us.
Peace!!
