In this day and age hip hop purest bash new jacks cause of what they say on wax or lack thereof. With remarks like what is so and so saying to help theprogression of the culture? I sit back and wonder if being Mr. Metaphor Monster or Punchline Prince a prerequisite of being hip-hop. The reason why this iseven in my thought process is this purest say they wish hip hop was like it was in the ol days. Now in the ol days the hype man was the rapper and wouldhippity hop d hop, throw ya hands in the air, etc over and over and this was early rap. Rap was considered poetry of the ghetto and way for the youth toexpress themselves. Poetry has no structure because it is of ones expression. Now don't get me wrong i love a hard hitting punchline as much as anyone elseon here my thing is this; what happen to having fun on wax partying and bull sh? People get on the likes of Soulja Boy (who I also think is wack) and sayhe's making crap music and he does not have a place in the game. Why is that ? He has said he has no wish to be a lyrical beast and he makes the music himand his friends like and that's it. Isn't that his right ? It's not like he's out selling Jay Z or Alicia Keys. How lyrical was Run DMC ? Letsdiscuss when and why did lyrics become so serious that people cant have fun anymore.
