Nah, I'm not even talmbout the CACs, dawggie.
I'm talmbout YOUNG nikkaS....the "KRS-One is overrated and not as relevant as Gucci Mane" ass nikkas, the ones who think hip-hop started in 2000, who think any rapper over 30 is "flabby and sick"....
THESE are the true culprits in the downfall of this culture. Their sheer APATHY has ALLOWED these 'woods to come in and take over the culture, to dictate to the world what a "hot rapper" is, and not the other way around.
When you don't police something YOURSELF, you can't be shocked when it goes to shyt. That's hip-hop in a nutshell.
The clowncake ass fans in this culture for so long have put a greater premium on selling records and "being relevant on the charts" over the ACTUAL music that it's fostered an environment where CACs can put out their OWN "brand rappers" now, especially since nothing has changed with respect to the audience who chiefly buys rap music (e.g., white kids).
No, EVERYTHING that's wrong with rap, I place full blame on the fans, especially the types that be on THIS fukkin' board.
Wack rappers don't make THEMSELVES hot.
