Shit, you don't have to feel him. Most of you who talk down on him probably never listened to one of his albums or don't even understand what he says, but that's cool, I might have done the same shit with some other rappers a few time. Dismissed em without really knowing what they about. Y'all probably would never know he talked about a lot of relevant issues and said a lot of real shit through his career. What I don't get though is this... how the fuck is anybody gonna say "the bay is gonna ruin hip-hop?" What the hell is left to ruin? Even if all that hipocrite "real hip-hop" bullshit most of you spew was worth something, wouldn't have 50 Cent already ruined hip-hop? Wouldn't that Laffy Taffy shit and whatever else already done that? Cause I got news for you, 1995 ain't coming back. Lord Finesse, Pete Rock and them, they ain't going gold again, let alone platinum. Biggie & Big Pun are dead, they not coming back. Nas failed to realize his potential after Illmatic, Jay-Z retired and if he comes back, he'll come back with that "dumbed down shit to double his audience"-or triple, whatever that shit was. Y'all got cats wearing pink representing NY now. You got all these mixtape rappers that y'all put your hopes on, but they albums never seem to come out. I been told Papoose was tight though, I won't hate. Hip-hop BEEN ruined. Y'all just got your heads stuck too far up your own asses to see that.
