Say what u want about Ross but he appreciates hip hop.. First he brings Kool G. Rap back for two classics now he's giving Lupe some light...

When he hit them with this bar on the Rich Forever tape, "I'm a guru in the kitchen whipping up that Mass Appeal"

I was like :wow: :dwillhuh:

I know people who blindly hate on him aren't just listening to him for the music

Lupe compares his struggle against poverty to the rope-a-dope, the fighting style made famous by Muhammad Ali in his legendary fight against George Foreman

Muhammad Ali vs George Foreman - YouTube

The technique involves getting into a defensive stance and allowing the opponent to repeatedly hit you until he tires himself out.

I think the D-O-C lock and key is dissing Chief Keef
and I think when he talks about blood pressure and eating junk food, Medical... he's dissing Rick Ross.

This is why I think "conscious" rap fans are stupid. It makes perfect sense, the next line is a consequence of the thing before.

Why is she a BM in the hood? No good BF's. No good for the child. Why is that no good? Cos they’re never around – rolling stones. Why is he a rolling stone? Either because he’s in and out of prison or he’s dodging the wire tap situations. This is a vicious circle. Does Ross need to add in another 10 words for that to click with you?

of course i know why. i'm not looking for super conscious rap. but whats non conscious rap? Unconscious rap. you do realize that right?

i'm looking for rose to ELABORATE. you ever heard your english teacher to tell you to EXPOUND on a point, or be more descriptive?

this is why this era of hiphop is suspect at best. they are not descriptive enough. they throw out buzz words that you've heard the last guy say, you dont know if he's talking about a legit specific situation or just throwing out some stuff. ross does that all the time. the probably i have with him, is the dude can actually Rap unlike these other new breed rappers. ross REFUSES to rap for real even on songs like this. because he's so caught up in his own persona. of say the generic get rich nonsense and that will do. sure he's famous. but how well are those albums selling? not that well in comparison to his star status. i would love to get rick on one of my songs. i would turn that fools verse back in to him and tell him "Ross you gone have to come tighter then this breh. i know you got some heat in there some where hidden in that belly or beard. find it and get back at me when you got that new verse.'

would you call old man kool g rap a conscious rapper? probably not. but he was a very descriptive rapper. you couldnt get away with just reading off oa few words and that be that.

a picture is not supposed to have all kinds of paint missing then tell you "figure out what i was drawing" sure i could figure it out. but the picture is supposed to be painted thru and thru. now you can paint it how you wish. but i still supposed to be a canvas full of paint. not a canvas full of canvas space.


jigga isnt seen as conscious yet his best material is when he's very descriptive, is it not?

the dude is a real rapper and a real rap fan. no doubt. but he refuses to rap for real even though he can. imagine lebron not dunking the ball on a breakaway. he just lays it up because thats what everyone else is currently doing. but everyone else is 5'2. they cant dunk. you can. DUNK THE BALL ROSS.
