yea, chrisdogg, i feel u, i think that pop bullshit is stupid and, sadly, it is what sells. frnkly, i could give a fuck whether a CD has sold millions or not, if i feel it, ill cop it, but i look for variety u noe... ill give props to eminem in the beginning, but once that shit got wide, fuck it, now its all about fuck britney and fuck his mom... if ima her rap, i dont wanna hear about no britney speaks and cookie-cutter boybands... it sounds funny, but shit, feel me on this one... me and my boy even got a rap song called fuck boybands -- but thats besides the point...
i think a lot of rap nowadays is too commercial, but shit, if ima rap, id rather do it for a loyal bunch of supporters than preteens and children who dont noe what the fuck hes talkin about half he time... (thats not to say that only that age group listens to him)
i guess in this case its kinda hard whether to say fuck the money or fuck the fame... but heres how i see it... the kats who strugglin and out there rappin, it can be about the money and at the same time they have their supporters... but for a kat like eminem who already has his millions, hes now financially well off to keep it real in his raps and use the talent that we noe he has, wisely..
