AMEN!!! I really get tired of hearing about how much money you got, how many ho's you got, how many Rolexs, Bentleys, etc. that you got. And all this over sampled songs. I blame Puffy, P. Ditty, Puff the Magic dragon, or whatever he calls himself this week.
I also don't think the deaths of Biggie and Tupac was the cause or contributed to it either. I think as rap itself started to try and appeal to "THE MASSES"
it gradually gave in and gave the audience what they wanted....a ministrel show, shuckin' and jiven'. Opps, I should save that for another thread.
