I loved seeing rappers on Def Poetry Jam, I couldn't see this now. Too many dumb ass rappers. Idk why it got canceled, I loved all the poetry programs HBO ran like this & their Brave New Voices specials.

Everything here is a topic that deserves its own thread!!!!!!!!

God's bathroom floor and girl with the tattoo hands, as the majors tried to act like the underground and online rap acts did not exist to phase it out.
So, the majors could go emo and try to capitalize on slug mainly white demographic.
Including the online rap draw as a whole.


The whole rap game is basically white boi music now.
They studied especially rocafella cause they invested in the old site and community on the low.
While trying to act like even I did not exist and at the same time.
Yet you had defjam artist and produces trying to make a name and get props by publically calling me out because I had some bytch mae impersonator starting bullshyt on peoples feeds and sites.
nikkaz is calling my phone with praise for ju.
Yet not trying to put him or slug on.
All cause they would be exposed and eclipsed if they featured with either of them.

Kanye is from a good black single mother home slug.
Jayz is drug dealer slug.
The whole rap game is what if slug was a gangsta on auto tune with no voice.

The whole rap game has no vocal tonality.
all because the industry is tryin to copy slug's draw.
The whole rap world is wannabe white mixed emo rapper, slug.

Sp, When nikkaz try to tell you.
some rapper is hood and got weak ass vocals ans belly ache'n about a bytch.
Wit some ol Depeche mode ass triphop beat.
You can just know he a wannabe white rapper and all these nikkaz in general are wannabe white rappers.

It is the greatest coup of any genre ever.
Get a black artist to be a white artist and not know it.
Even the beats are white boy beats with 808's to cover it up.

nikka...no

I am the truth there staring back at you.
Notice you had no facts and no actualized draw and jnstances in history to dispute.

Second who are you?

This song used to be the one on in the car most of the time back in the days, they had it on day and night... I still remember the first time I heard it

 

[Spiritual Stratocaster]

The jerk, the fame, the work, the game (uhh!)
The friends, the foes, the Benz, the hoes (what?!)
The studios, the shows, comes, and it goes (c'mon

Getting jerked around in contracts...get the groupies....the fame...then it fades away..the classic musician story

 

[Ces1ne?]

Anybody around the coil……ask yourself, WHY isn’t X in your top 5 of all time?!?!?!?
