There's been glimmers of hope but the game still needs a huge dose of reality rap. If you think back to the "Gangsta" rap era or or other mainstream eras of rap, you'd still have messages in the music despite everything. Even an album like The Chronic had the song "Lil Ghetto Boy" which to me had a lot of messages in it. Ice Cube and Ice T both were practically conscious just with a hard edge to it. I wish some of these fools could wake up a bit. I wouldn't mind seeing a rapper who can be fly and cool but still make some remarks on the bullshyt that goes on within the community. shyt Pac did it excellently and in a more modern regard Jay and Kanye aren't terrible at it. We need more of it coming from the artists that aren't already ridiculously rich. Imagine how powerful a record like 'New Slaves' would have been coming from an artist that wasn't as all over the place as Kanye? I think a shift can happen but it's going to take the bravery of at least 2 or 3 new acts. One guy who doesn't get his credit is Big Krit though.


Most of you guys download every album, while the buying public helps Macklemore go platinum.

All this talk is in vain until the "keep it real" cats start buying records again.

This is why rap being trash doesn't bother me at all.

Says the sellout who sold away the blueprint.

why would people buy being brave.
When, NAS the equivalent to the hero.
staunchly, told people being brave enough to care about the preservation of the culture.
that it was stoopid and wack.
why take brave chances, with different production or content.
when, NAS told this Gen, it was stoopid.
nas, needs to shut his dumb ass up.

buncha hurt feelings cause the gawd just saw it how it is :manny:

Funny thing is in 15 years the same youngins will say the say same thing about the next generation. Its on them in that time between to take the challenge and run with it. I think they can do it too

Its not a diss, so much as a vet encouranging the MCs to max their potential

If you mad at that, you probably the type who's extremely in the red on your rep anyway

What is Brave about Nas?
name an album that nikka has made after Nastradamus that went along with what was poppin at the moment...u nikkas need to stop playing stupid..and hate it or love it..that nikka puts commentary in EVERY album he's dropped since he's been in the game..no matter how wack or good u think the album is...nikka literally went the opposite route of popular for a minute now...it's more than just naming an album "******"..act like the album itself wasn't focused and on topic the whole way thru...than get to Distant Relatives...who the fukk else on Nas' level is dropping shyt on that level?..who's dropping singles like "daughters" in this musical climate?...like I said..play dumb all u want to...but u can't ignore facts..period....only in this dumb ass culture can muthafukkas take something someone said that's positive and shyt on it cause u don't like the artist saying it or whatever...and I'm talking from old heads to young heads...this is why the game aint shyt and is pure worthless bullshyt at this point...fukk hip hop...

:what: he didn't say anything deep. Just typical smart dumb nas. This nikka really said its "surreal" to be invited to the JFK center. I hate nikkas who just toss around words without knowing their meaning.
