Good read QQ, and I agree with most of it. What people fail to understand is that most of that shit you hear today is industry created "entertainment". Hell yeah, most of it is highly exaggerated and falsified, but some people don't realize that all it is is entertainment. You want a message and possibly a good political statement, listen to hip-hop.
Rappers can go both ways with rap and hip-hop. I mean look at Ludacris. I see "Runaway Love" as hip-hop. It's telling a story and putting images in your head, but is still entertaining to listen to. But then you've got "Shake Ya Moneymaker" (and yeah I hate that song, always have, but a lot of people like it). Anybody who tries to tell me that's hip hop will probably get laughed at in their face with no reprecussion.
Some rappers like to mix up the elements in their songs and I don't see a problem with it. Then you got the endless supply of Laffy Taffy, dumbed down crap. Nothing wrong with putting out a song just for people to dance to and have a good time at the club, instead of poppin' heads at the same club. I personally don't like about 75% of it, but a lot of people do.
Anyway, back to the subject, seems like people been snitchin' on themselves since the early 90's, know what I mean? It's one thing if you're just talkin' shit or telling a story about it without putting actual facts about your involvement (if there was any) in it. It's another to talk about shit you've actually done, recreating the story (and how you did it) and putting yourself on blast at the same time.
Fiev.
