[Idiopathic Joker]

I remember when you and H-rap said that rick ross was going to save hip hop, now THAT was laugh

1. My Album Is a Classic: Aside from a select few (we’ll let you decide), there hasn’t been too many classics in the last 10 years. Interestingly, in that span, countless MCs claimed to have released classic material. Not so much.
Also Not Acceptable: This is the best album of my career. This Album shows a of growth.

i don't like xxl either seeing that they're no different than the source but the list makes sense. rappers do say the same stupid shit like "i'm keepin' it real", "i'm the 'king of amerika' " or some other garbage if they aren't blasting bloggers or music critics for giving their album a bad review or stating a honest opinion. that's life homie, you're gonna receive criticism no matter what and if you're gonna get hyphy because someone doesn't like your album then you and your fragile ego won't last a day in the industry. take it for what it's worth and improve on it, don't throw a fuckin' hissy fit about it.

another thing rappers need to stop saying is what bullshit pop artist or flash-in-the-pan "flavor of the month" rap star they wanna work with just to revive their failing career just to stay relevant and make money. when T.I. talked about wanting to do a song with lady gaga and literally said that he "BEGGED" for that opportunity i just dropped my head. niggas is acting like some real ho' cakes these days.

i remember where in every interview, every rapper said that they were gonna start a label, clothing line, and star in a movie.

it was funny.
