    I miss real pop rappers

    When gangsta rap came out, it wasn't cool to be rapping without being angry or coming off hard...but rap's devolved to where there aren't too many credible gangstas - no one's mad anymore - it's just posturing, bragging about material possessions, claiming to be fly without actually acting like it...whatever - and it's all pop. When everything that pretends it's not pop Is pop...the pop rappers can't get signed anymore - and can't get airplay. Even the poppiest out there, guys like Black Eyed Peas, like to call themselves hip-hop and mix profanity in with their lyrics and act hard...

    I, for one, miss guys like Young MC, Tone Loc, Kid 'n Play, Heavy D, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, etc.

            I hear ya......very few seem reallt real or legit to what they are saying.I personally think Jeezy and Chamillionair are the two brightest spots in Hip-Hop at the moment simply because you can tell that they have been thru the **** they Rap about......And Chams flow is sick.Jeezy is not a very good lyricist but is as raw and real as it gets now.
