I'm glad he kept it real and didn't try to sugarcoat it like most rappers would have.

I respect ur opinion.
to each his own however.
maybe its just where i was born and raised (in the hood)
when rappers dressed like this they got their money and still dressed their roots( and it was somewhat evident in their songs)
and now adays rappers get their money and switch their styles up

This. Rap used to represent the lower class struggle and a working class ethic. Now it represents selling out.

Seems like a bit of a narrow-minded way to look at things. Just my opinion though.

so much truth in the above statements
when I was a"kid" say 14-15 heavily influenced by rap, I wore my cloths baggy, and on my bday would get maybe a throwback jersey, or a fubu t shirt/hat and you'd rock it everyday, the rappers were still fly and every time you saw them had a different "fit" on but it was a different tracksuit/jersey things that were attainable
Now if you wanted to be like your fav rapper, you'd need some leather pants, $300 shoes, and a designer jumper.
When Wiz came out my lil' cousins ditched they're AF1's and started rocking chucks, and I thought for the most part it was good for the youth, they felt like they could dress like him and relate to him... I don't think they feel the same now...

I'm not trippin' on new artists. People like Big Sean are ok with me. He keeps it real with what he raps about and does him. I can't stand rappers like Drake talmbout their struggle when we all know they had it easy as cake. Rick Ross and Lil Wayne type rappers are the worst to me. Glorifying disrespect and a life of crime, but never showing you the other side of the coin where people lose their lives and families are ruined. Not to mention the fact that they never lived a bit of what they are rapping about. Even the rappers that are considered "conscious" or non gangster these days only rap about women and money and getting drunk or high. At least while the Pimp was glorifying certain aspects of the lifestyle, he was giving you the real on the consequences, same with Face.We need another Public Enemy or Ice Cube or Killah Priest.

Jamie Foxx won't wear no skirt. ...At least, I hope not.
You's a worse clown, than Jamie Foxx in his First Down.
(I always wonder if Foxx ever heard that line - I'm sure he's kicked it with Nas many times since)

Ok cool. I can agree with that. I guess I was just stating that music and its surrounding culture is always going to evolve.

Yo, I'm with you. Everybody in this thread knows how I feel about this... and how I feel about everything, right.
I been had blogs like Proto!
But, the one thing I'll say on the counterpoint side is that the rappers are people too. They are living their lives and experiencing all kinds of new things as well. All kinds of new avenues are open to them, and they are surrounded by sets of people who are different than who they are. Now, that's a bad thing in some ways, and a very good thing in others. But, the point is that nobody is the same person at 18 and 25 - these are years in which you change a lot. That is going to be way more profound if in that time span you also go from broke to rich and from never being off your block to traveling the world, and from never really even having a job to being the face of a multimillion dollar legal business operation.
Despite most of the crap that I talk, I chalk up most of the stupidity of a lot of these cats to being young and dumb. I was certainly young and dumb in my teens and early 20s too!

It isn't evolving, it is devolving. It has been turned into a money making machine and nothing more. The body still lives, but the soul is long gone. To put it in Rock and Roll terms, Hip Hop today is at the hair band stage, and there isn't a Nirvana in sight.
