I'm not gonna toil trying to save this big mess!. I am man of little words for the most part, but do not take this talk as shallow talk!. Hip-hop will improve it self!. People are so-called going through a gettin tired phase!. not just because the radio plays the joint 365 x's a day but maybe the words of a lot of the average "get money rappers" can cause a person to snap out of it @ times!. People wanna buy music, but no one wants to hear a rapper saying I got this, but what you got!? Or "Get Like Me"!. People don't wana pay damn near $20!.00 to have complete low-self esteem before getting halfway into the album!.
But we're improving!. I strongly believe that there's not a day that goes by without somebody finally coming to the realization that his/her favorite artist has been insulting his/her intelligence!.

Nothin!. itz corrupted with people dat don't care about itz origin or meanin!. All dey care about is da money and I mean almost everybody from da presidents of da labels to da A&Rs even to A LOT artist and producers and last but most sadly is a lot of fans dat don't kno that much about hip hop if any at all but wanna go scream n yell dat some overrated rapper is da best alive!. I guess dats why Joe Budden said "da greatest rapper alive is wearin suits n ties but u got a bunch of whack Ni**as sayin dey him" or R!.I!.P Stack Bundles said "a bunch of opportunists dat was given opportunity to make difference in music but gave no opportunity"Www@Enter-QA@Com

Its time to move on to other genres in music!. Hip-hop is the disco of the millennium!. Hopefully it will evolve into something positive and do away with the reference to violence, drugs, and the dehumanization of women!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I think if we focus on only accepting good quality lyrics, then the rest will speak for itself!. I will rather have a good lyrical song about someone taking a dump, then hear a bad non-lyrical song about someone saving the world!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

So more Mexicans!.

Don't let money change ya!

This is a story of a kid his name is Cisko
Who made more money than the Count of Monte Crisco
He lived a lavish style of life, fast money women cars
And he liked to frequent bars pubs and discos
Made his living as a world famous rap star
When he first started mic respect's what he was after
And so he got inside his mind, day and night, and he'd write
Constantly his art and craft he'd try to master
Started winnin local battles and his rep grew
Gave his crew a reputation as the best crew
And what life would do to him, all the cards that was hard
Pen and ped, stress relief would be his refuge
Paid his dues, doing shows, now he's on track
In the lab, pumping demos, makin songs fat
Then he quit his nine to five, finally his time arrived
When he signed a major label record contract
Don't let money change ya!
His first single was a overnight success hit
And now he went from wearing rags to the best fits
All his new acquitances, gassed his head, takin it
To the point where he lost proper perspective
Started cuttin off the people he came up with
Ego blown like his soul had been abducted
Though his heart was once real, now material has filled
Up his world, and he couldn't get enough of it
Used to wanna be the best of the rap dons
Now his only one concern is goin plati-NUM
And his skills has since decreased, and the inner hunger ceased
Now content, just as long as fame and cash come
He's a Big Willie now, rappin bout cars
Thousand dollar shoppin sprees, hangin out with stars
I mean just a year ago, he was broke, bummin money
Drinkin out the 40 bottle, livin outdoors
Don't let money change ya!
Second LP, my rap changes fast
Here today, gone tomorrow, now his label passed
Now the new poster boy, with the hip now sound
Second time around everything isn't stable as
It once was, now he's lookin for the same hit
But his sound is played, he forget to change wit
Them old hit rhymes, no one feelin him, his rhymes ain't appealin
Anymore, and his records ain't sellin ****
Now he's dropped from his label, and he's goin broke
Tried the underground return, ghetto pass revoked
And the same faces that he dissed, on his way, to the top
Laughed as they watched him do the downstroke
Now the moral of the story is that some go
Why would money make the inner vision crumble!?
So if you're blessed with the talent, utilize it to the fullest
Be true to yourself and stay humbleWww@Enter-QA@Com

Just some intelligent lyrics with a message or a story would be a good start!. Getting rid of Lil' Wayne would be a better start!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hip Hop never died! It was just buried alive by people such as Lil Wayne and Soulja Boy!Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't think there is anything we can do about the current state of rap music!.

Mainstream record labels have corrupted the industry since the late 80's in order to make money and turn "urban culture" into a marketing scheme!.

As a result, the tried-and-true methods of making quality music have been thrown out the window and have been replaced by cliche mannerisms perpetuated by marketing giants that have their deep pockets in every radio station (which have also become consolidated in the past decade) and music television outlets as a way to push the masses to buy what they deem is "hot" right now!.

This said marketing tactic has nothing to do with the music at all, but a product they wish to sell, and more often then not a quintessential black man that has an iced grill, drives a flashy car, and wears fly gear has become the norm regardless of how well he can make music!.

In the 80s and 90's an MC didn't get any respect if he couldn't flow and would be ostracized by his peers and thus wouldn't be able to sell records to the masses or hold concerts as a result!. It was a quality-driven outlet of expression!. Production was often accomplished in a very unique expressive imaginative way with the use of rather primitive equipment!. Sampling meant knowing and harnessing the best of records and using a drum machine and ones fingers to layer a beat from scratch!. Now a computer and generic beat loops are often used by producers with more clout because he/she made the last hit song for Nelly (which was still crap but sold agillion copies because of a strongly-backed record label )!.

The bottom line is, until independent labels can stronghold the same outlets that big corporate record labels can, the situation will stay the same!. That is assuming indie labels can recognize real talent to begin with!. Either that or strong corporate entities would have to be rewarded by the public for signing real talent over these idiots (through record sales, etc!.) which I don't see happening with artists that can't even rhyme (like T-Pain, Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Birdman, Flo-rida, etc!.) going platinum upon every release!.

It disappoints me!.!.!.I miss early 90's hiphop where every line rhymed exactly, not just sort-of and songs told a story and weren't such stereotypical B!.S!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
