Nas sounds "smart" in his raps, but dude is the kink of "uh...um...know what I'm sayin..." Jay-Z, Tupac, Ice Cube, Paris, Easy-E, Ice-T, Ice Cube, David Banner...these guys SOUND deeper then just, "I'ma hood nigga doin my thang...". Some of the "dumber" sounding rappers...50cent, (sorry yall) Yuck, Ying Yang Twins...and a shit load more. I think that the game is missing the element of inteligence, I think that the rap game has gone from artist like NWA, Tupac, Public Enemy, KRS-1, Paris and a host of other artist with a message to everybody wanting to get "crunk", "go dumb" or be "super thug". It's all about acting a fool now and well...that's not really a good look for the artist. It's almost like the "smart" artist have to hide the fact that they can think with a clear mind...All of the songs that was gangsta like "Fuck The Police", "Hustla", "Soildger Story" and "Fight The Power" were about problems in the inner city...now...all the popular artist are talking about getting high, killin people, or acting a fucking nut. The rap game is taking hugh steps backwards...THIS IS TO ALL OF THE ARTIST ON HERE WILL SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE AN ALBUM ABOUT SOMETHING MORE THEN KILLIN, SMOKIN AND ACTING CRAZY...If you are from the streets then talk about it, but put your own spin on it...be original.
