^^^ I understand where ya coming from...I think what the problem is,its that some dont want others to be mistaken that those kind of rappers are representing dago.I realize we living in different times,and there is always gonna be people who follow trends,and I dont see nothing wrong with someone going dumb,or getting hyphy..if they havin fun and expressing themselves cool.I think its hard especially for rappers who stay true to what there style is,and been grinding for years to see these people on something different,I dont beleive like some previousley said..that Dago needs a gimmick.Look at atlanta,If you was to ask anyone 20 years ago if they were gonna blow,people wouldve laughed.But over the years they were releasing albums,and if you notice,they still have there own style...I wouldnt shop in new york to get some westcoast artists and vice versa,I wouldnt recommend anyone doing hyphy,or none of that,and that has nothing to do with me liking it.I beleive it will be out pwith in a year or two,Its too close to crunk,and they been playin alot of that type on the radio over the last year or so.Its getting old,kids are gonna wanna hear something else,and if you do that kind of music,you could get type-cast and people will always associate you with hyphy.Dont let no one tell you you have to rap any certain way...This chicano C.E.O. down the street from me,he tells his artists...say south side more ...say ese in your raps(he is very sucessful)..My thing is If you can look in the mirror and be honest with yourself that you are making the hottest songs,and there is no more you can do as far as makin better product,then
Start to work that product,get a fan base...hell do something way out left field as far as marketing,etc etc.
