I feel like that's the main problem right now. The streets don't have that leader to speak to them, Nas is the closest one, but most young niccas in the street don't really connect with him since he's a older head. Jay and Kanye on their different shyt. Wayne on his weird shyt Drake singing to the hoes and talking about stealing his uncles car. Ti slipped out his spot. Nobody believes Ross. Jeezy fell off. nikkas think J coles a cornball. You get the point. The only rappers who the streets have are other dumb motherfukkas like chief keef who rap about doing the same dumb shyt they're trying to escape. The streets don't have anyone to talk to them like a Scarface, Dmx, Big, Pac, Old Jay, Old Nas. Rap is incomplete without that. And life is incomplete without that to be honest. That's why motherfukkas are so confused right now. Rap without someone in that spot is like a country with no president. Someone needs to step to the plate or its only going to get uglier. Rap is really in a great space right now. I don't think there's ever been this many lanes poppin all at once. We're just missing that one element to tie it all together
I never really thought about it in terms of pre/post recession, while I don't think that's the only thing that made music "softer" that's a good point
huh
