i think this love for mac dre is overrated.... dont get me wrong, dre was tight. i have been to a lot of mac dre shows before and they weren't always at capacity. i saw him at jimmies a few months before he died and nobody payed attention. all these "followers" who act like they were fans before he died are looking for something to latch on to. thats why the sales of his old albums went through the roof when he died. if cats were truly fans before he died, they wouldnt have to go back and buy the material. same with keak. keak been rappin since the early 90's with 3x crazy....so why is he suddenly hot? he was hot back then too. what about fab? why did son of a pimp sell and nig latin didnt??? nig latin was hot too... djs were taking songs from nig latin and putting on mixtapes as exclusives when son of a pimp dropped. cats need to just admit they jumped on the bandwagon late and not overexadurate like they had love for these rappers since the begining.
so to summarize all that...lol. its not the rappers that are overrated, its these "movements" that are suddenly behind them
