Nowadays you got all these motherfuckers that wanna sing and do all that extra bullshit. People be posting shit about cats like Drake that wanna sing and act but can barely rap. These dudes act like they too good for rap and they got this kanye west syndrome where they wanna be artists and not mc's. Even snoop got like this on ego trippin. Dudes be trying too much to think outside the box. Fuck all that artist bullshit, rappers need to get back to the streets and quit dressing like you from europe and get off that emo homo shit.
There's nothing wrong with being an artist. Going from rapper to artist should be a natural progression, especially if having longevity in the industry is on one's mind. Thinking outside the box created hip hop, so why would you hold rappers to rigid standards? I don't get it. I agree the borderline homo clothes gotta go, but there ain't nothing wrong with expanding your audience by giving your fans and/or potential fans different looks (musicwise).

Cats really need to chill the fuck out. i mean m.c's been harmonizing and singing, or trying to sing since day one. Look at all the old school cats, on through Biz Markie, etc... Now don't get it twisted, I prefer a dope emcee like a Nas or a Rakim, or some real good gangsta sh*t like Daz, BUT the real issue is QUALITY of music, and what the record labels push and what mainstream radio plays. In that mix it is hard to find good music. Rap these days is Pop Music, let's face it, and so many of todays "artists" are not artists, they are actors.
it seems to me the Indiana has some personal issues he's airing out... not trying to start no beef, just pointing it out son.

i have no problem with rappers singing their hooks if they can do it well.

fifty cent is tight with his hooks that are sort of sung.
mobb figgaz be singing and shit a lil and they shit be tight.
clyde carson came ill with that hook on so hood.

I think Drake can spit yall tripping. i only heard one song by dude and he snapped on that shit.
