that's the thing i'm not bashing dru, woodie, or none of them cats, what i'm trying to say is if i walk in a store and i see somebody up and coming( perfect example is shag nasty) now i know very little about this cat the only thing i know is he raps with nikatina alot and he's from the moe now being that i live in frisco and i know about what type of area he's from i'm more likely gonna buy his shit then somebody like young dru, why? i look at his cover of his album i know he reps vallejo and he's white, is that the reason why i wouldn't buy his album? No it's not, the reason why is i've been to vallejo i know what type of people are out there and i would say about 75-85% of males out there are yuppie ass, rich kids that think their ghetto, how many REAL projects are out there? Fuckin' none! i could be wrong but i don't think so, there are poor parts of the V but how many people from them parts rap or are rappers, not too many. AND IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY GUNS YOU POPPED OFF, HOW MANY ROCKS YOU'VE SOLD, OR HOW MANY HOES YOU HAVE if you're born a square not matter what you do you'll die a square, and when i look at some of these albums now a days most of them are turning out to be that way(a rich kid with money making a ghetto rap album)
after listening to shag i can tell he's a real muthafucka, the others i have a feeling that they fall into that list of squareism
i don't give a flying fuck whether you agree with me or not but that's how i feel.
oh i know that, every entertainer lies, but with rap i expect their to be some type of truth, rap ain't like rock n roll or anything else it has major ties with real life shit, i don't listen to rap cause it's cool i listen to it cause it helps me cope with my past and i know the same shit i went through other people have went through the same thing and MADE IT IN LIFE
whattup homie...i can see you got a way better head on your shoulders than i originally thought, and for that, i apologize for coming at you sideways.
i feel what you're saying...so then, what "some minorities feel" is ignorant. i feel you that the dude with 2 strikes out the pen is gonna have more street cred, but what's race got to do with that??
im 22...i got a couple folks that passed away, a couple folks that are locked up...that's life, fuckit. i miss em, but i can't do shit about it. they can all get on their own respective hustle, and hopefully racial profiling (in either direction) wont stop them. whether it's people assuming the black folks are criminals, or assuming that the white guys are silver-spoon-fed squares...it's all fuckd. shit sounds corny, but fuckit, that's real...

Who here disagrees when i say Eminem is a lyrical/wordplay genius?
I must be one of the only people who appreciates wordplay.
I would rather listen to someone that comes out with insane crazy lines that nobody in their right mind could ever think of than listen to the guy who raps about killing 75 niggas in one driveby and really did do it.
If you got heat, I'm gonna listen to you. The ones I respect the most, though, are the ones that come from the streets and don't rap about it in every song. The first example that comes to mind is Andre Nickatina...I consider Nicky to be a wordsmith, and not a gangsta. He's from Fillmoe, so he's from the same place as every other real cat outa Frisco, but every song isn't about how he wetted 3 cats with one shot.
Check Eminem (first couple albums before he went completely mainstream), check Atmosphere, check Smoov-E (makes me laugh), the Grouch, and many others. Not all of them come from the roughest of neighborhoods I'm sure, but none of them need to really talk about that. Not all rap needs to be about the hood.
