i used to enjoy listening to that sound
mainly because it has substance
and the message was always constant
now i look back and i wonder why?
why do i look to these rappers to be my guide?
what i should respect is the hustle
like 50, drizzy drake and even russell
some cats might even think they sold out
u lyin if you say u dont want money and a fur mink coat because its cold out
even on a rainy day tupac nor MF wont even come thru
u just need a steady beat to bump to
i dont get how people can judge an artist just by what they write or stand for, i get lowkey annoyed because people say most these rappers/writters sold out because they went mainstream. Theres no shame in trying to get paid, i understand the lyrical content might not be as positive as an underground rapper, but why would u listen to music to get your daily tour guide in life? thats what books are for... to me music should be about forgetting yourself, a quick 4 minutes getaway. It shouldnt be taken seriously like a Bible. Ive seen firsthand what these artists go through, its not easy.. you need to have a legitimate work ethic to make it. Its a constant struggle to portray yourself a certain way. Yes some artists put up a front, some do it better than others, but who are you to knock em down just because theyre trying to get paid? show me a rapper who doesnt want to come up and i'll show you a liar.
