Chicago rap scene is werid to be honest.
Like I never see the upcoming rappers give credit to twista, do or die, common, and hell even kanye.
That rap scene is really not apart of hiphop.
They were never at any cultural anything, ever.
Twista selling out is how that brand got credence but nikkaz will act like Twista did not sellout and it did not happen.
Yet they have no facts and real live accounts of what the truth js.
All cause twista is their gateway but let someone ask about chi rock or illstate assassins. They have no clue how or what it intertwines with.
Yet since hiphop is a forgiving culture we have to take the brunt of what they do.
Completely outside the culture and be responsible for them.
It is what it is,....
Y'all as fans give people power to steal our culture and this is a byproduct of it.
It is just like white America feeling comfortable mistreating Indians and slaves. Y'all look the other way like white people in public oppressing Indian and slaves.
When shyt was real no sellout rappers or rappers who lack culture got to infringe and false represent the culture of hiphop.
If they were a culture thief based gangsta rapper.
they were disenfranchised for being culture thieves and they belly ached about and had Mecca envy. While never once respecting the culture of hiphop and its mores and norms.
That are in place from a prescient place and also experience in an economic place for out pillars to still operate and generate a profit.
Casuals have always allowed the culture of hiphop to be compromised and poisoned band systematically phased out.
All because they buy into big corporate white suit ideals of.
we can disrespect your culture for the power of a dollar.
That they empower disenfranchised culture thievery and theft to occur with no repercussions economically in our industries from the pillars.
It just so happens when corporations after sprite and coca cola. got fraud marketing groups with no cultural figure to represent them.
Thing went awry and the culture of hiphop.
now known to the masses has to take the brunt of that.
Also since Twista suffered administration based issues from selling out and Wendy day had to work to get him out of it. That is seen as his pass.
Yet if he never sold out, and bit snypaz.
Plus turned his back on the culture to look like a Westside pimp.
Most of a lot of the shyt would not be going on today.
Especially as far as chief keef is concerned because there would have been no regular world wannabe rappers in bulk.
Especially in Chicago as no non-bboy guys really rapped at all.
If they did they were ridiculed by their non-culturized peers in the street and culturally by people in hip hop.
When twista blew he made every Westside nikka.
think they could rap and they never rapped before ever, and never cared about hip hop or any of that. Which trickled down to
Everyone in the city and Gary who did not know the culture.
So, now you got a large influx of toys rapping and doing it with no cultural context or even skill.
Just biting and filling in the words of bone to now twista and do or die to crucial.
In which all three got jerked admin wise.
All because they would shun the culture and the culture is about being educated administratively about these art houses. Which twista is supposed to know fully about.
all because he is one of the few real Westside bboys originally and was an illstate assassin and fixture at chi Rock meetings.
So the reason why Twista is not generally propped is.
Twista he also fell out with his street based orgs who rode with him through his admin based woes.
Including everyone in a non-cultural context.
thinks they want to be and replace Twista as well.
When it comes to ye,...ye been known as a sellout to jiggy bullshyt for two decade now exactly. With common he been got serged and eventually faked jax till now the public knows. So common,uses pr and female sentimental based nostalgia draws to compensate for the culture knowing he is a culture theif.
Plus, if you are a apart of the Chicago scene you know who the real protege and real legend is anyway.
So, if you in the culture of hiphop.
You not gon prop the guys who sold out.
You prop'n who kept it all the way real and ye, twists or common.
It is the pedigree from where I originate.
Which purposefully was kept from being put on in the same manner.
Plus would not adhere to pisspoor administration or sellout.
In Chicago in general most have no idea about the culture and real talk.
If not for, interscope having an a&r with relatives to put certain people on.
You would never have gotten this non-culture based wave of gangsta rap. That was aided by an exec with connection to common in a bidding war. That created the pr bubble and windfall.
That setup the last prospective possible plat drawing artist or era in Chicago.
Yet pisspoor administration ruined it again.
Which would never happen for real culturally minded artists.

Keefes music is decent but he comes across dumb or brain dead sometimes 
he needs to lay off the lean 
and juke trax (house music). The grassroots rap scene use to be dry af in the 00 until like maybe 08/09
They used to be huge in chicago back then. Iirc cam stayed on the west side for a lil minute
