Smh at nut to the head ass eminem being a "real" artist....

Pac and Eminem are the 2 highest selling hip hop artists of all time and they NEVER dumbed down their lyrics. Obama got elected without tryin to sound "common" like Dubya. So, NO excuses.

Thats a cop out. You can get paid AND be skilled and intelligent. Is Nas broke? Wait, bad example lol (get a pre-nup my nigs!) But, like I said, Pac and Eminem sold mad records. Lupe is caked up compared to you and me. He had his own sneaker before his album dropped, and he got his own clothing line.

I believe it's not an artist job to appeal to the lowest common denominator, it's their job to raise it.

Yet, these rappers always usin the excuse that lyrical shit don't sell. Well, nigga, be the catalyst and MAKE a difference. Start spittin that real lyrical shit, and challenge the system instead of lettin the white man win.

Nas doesn't sell, Common doesn't sell, Talib doesn't sell, Budden doesn't sell. Not a fan of non-lyrical rap, but if you're trying to make money, aiming for a higher common denominator isn't gonna do. Shit, if I was trying to feed my family/get rich, I'd be "Pretty Boy Swaggin" all day. Hate the music, respect the hustle.

Nas, Common, and Talib have gotten out of the hood, toured all over the world, and made the type of money that puts them in a tax bracket that should have them votin Republican so shut that dumb shit up. And all this "hustle" talk is disrespectful to our youth. Instead of hustlin buyers, show some respect and try YOUR best lyrically to give young ears somethin besides surface values and lyrics that only appeal to our base desires. Stupid niggas like you are the reason we as a people haven't progressed since the death of Martin and Malcolm.

well then shut yo sissy ass up then
you can't control what other muhfuckas wanna hear
if they wanna hear stupid shit then who are you to tell an artist to go against the grain?
at the end of the day hip hop is a business and a job
if it ain't payin the bills, why do it?
ain't no nigga gon switch they style up to appease you and niggas like you
just so they can sell 2400 albums?
just so they can perform in front of packed out crowds of 139 people?
how bout this
how bout you support your favorite artist
and shut yo bitch ass up

 

[Brova]

At the end of the day, stupid nigga, hip hop is music and an artform. It's payin the bills for Afeni Shakur, Eminem, Nas, Talib, Common, Lupe, Mos Def, etc. So shut yo dumb ass up. I aint tellin niggas to switch they style up, I'm sayin they should come into the game being theyselves and not DUMBIN DOWN they music. I respect Jeezy, because I honestly believe he tryin his best on the mic. That's the best he can do. We already know Jay aint tryin his best, he even admitted it. So, you can take all that faggot ass bullshit you speakin and shut the fuck up.

Oh, and if Curren$y saw the shit you typin he slap the shit outta you.

why would Curren$y slap me?
anyway
everybody ain't meant to be lupe, mos def, common, nas, or eminem
everybody ain't even strivin to be like them niggas
so your point is still irrelevant
who are you to say niggas ain't bein themselves?
only nigga that you can honestly say that about are jay (since he admitted it) and plies (cuz we see them interviews, algernod)

 

[Brova]

So you tellin me that The Carter 3 is Wayne at his best? Get the fuck outta here! You tellin me that T.I,'s last albums represent him at his most lyrical? We heard the PSC mixtapes and his first two albums. You tellin me Fabolous albums represent him at his best lyrically? Fab could rap circles around Kanye, but Kanye is bigger in pop culture because NOBODY can deny his artistry and his drive to always be at HIS personal best lyrically. Funny thing is, Kanye at his best still aint fuckin wit Fab. Temporarily, dumbin it down works, but in the long run, these dumb niggas aint gonna last in the game. You think Chingy, J-Kwon, Huey("Stop, Drop and Lock It) gonna be touring when they KRS age? Come on son!

I''m surprised you didn't ask for her feet pic, duke. But any I disapprove of this topic. Pac and Em were both controversial that's why they sold. Backpacker are deem as boring to the mass appeal.

 

[Brova]

Oh, and Curren$y would slap yo dumbass for sayin it's okay to dumb down your music.

All of Nas' solo albums either went gold or platinum. Also, album sales are not where the artist make their money. The majority of their revenue comes from shows and tours... Educate yourself before commenting on certain subjects.
