I love the "classic" hip-hop. When they rapped about relavent issues and had a point in their songs. The new My rims are bigger than yours, I fornicate more women than you, I have more guns, bla bla bla stuff is garbage. I love some old Biggie, Nas, 2Pac, Jay-Z, Common, Mos Def, etc..
i like the older stuff....i hate lil wayne. he acts and thinks like everything that comes outta his mouth is the poo. eminem is always great. my favorite is "then last mr. biggs" youtube his trial time video. its a great song.
I haven't been a big Kanye fan for awhile. This was the first song on a cheap CD I picked up at Hastings. I really liked the song and the beat. The message was pretty descent too.
