Decline in rap quality is correlated to literacy. These rappers now don't read books,don't write, illiterate. No longer intense path b/w poetry to rap

Nas mom was a educator

Big Mom was a educator

Jay mom is a educator

J. Cole is a graduate

David banner is a graduate

Killer Mike went to more house

Both members of OutKast had educated people around them their teachers have been interviewed

A lot of good to great MC’s had a educator in their life


A lot of the new guys fight tooth and nail to prove they dumb

True. Kendrick also took psychology courses at UCLA to enhance his songwriting.

I agree, education is key.

UCLA's very proud to call Kendrick Lamar an alumnus, and fans think that these Psychology classes may have something to do with "Mr. Morale."

why should these young dumbazz illiterate rappers further their reading and education when they are paid to look stupid and be dumb? There is money in being famous, black and stupid. Now the money won't last a lifetime because just as quick as they give it to them, they can cheat them out of it, but that's the point.

Hip-hop educated me a lot.

I'd hear a rapper talking about something then do research on that topic.

Idk if that still exists today.

exactly. When I first heard Nature of a Threat as a 19 year old, I was fascinated. When I first heard the parts of "black thanks" at 13 years old on Professor Griff's debut, I was intrigued to know who these people were he named. These kids today don't want to do shyt but keep their faces in their phones and find new ways to get high

 

[Tribal Outkast]

People always be on some “but the 90’s” or “but the rappers back then did it too” type shyt. That why these discussions never go anywhere. You can easily debunk the statement in the OP by bringing up current rappers who go against what that person is saying.. they don’t get the support though.
