hip-hop crumbling apart... again.

i thought they were over this petty shit but it looks like
things are gonna get more violent w/ hip-hop again. first
jam master jay was murdered, now the office building for
violator (management team for busta rhymes, missy elliott,
50 cent, mobb deep, many others) has been shot at. meanwhile
murder inc. (that terrible fake record label (owned by def
jam) w/ ja rule and ashanti) is being investigated for drug
gang connections, and suge knight and his label being
investigated for current gang connections as well. at the
same time, suge has never backed down from dissing other
artists, including snoop and dre who hate him with a
passion. murder inc is also taking pot shots now at others,
starting with dmx and now moving onto 50 cent (bad idea.
he's not afraid to go to jail.), and the whole
aftermath/shady records roster, including dr. dre and eminem
(who is also involved in beef w/ source magazine co-owner
benzino, whose latest dis record toward eminem references
literally murdering eminem and kidnapping his daughter).

not a pretty situation.

coke comercial. i think it was him.

suge's always been starting shit, usually ending violently.
he's what you might call " a niggaz nigga" or something.
This thug shit is pretty weak, imo.

suge knight's actions have always seemed vaguely criminal.
i'm NOT surprised he's under investigation.

seems like some artists can't leave off the gansta ways even
after they start making a legit living =/ is sad .....that
they kill each other so freely!

I lost faith in hip-hop 7 or 8 years ago.

i've just recently gotten 'into' it.....well for the past 2
years....sadly AFTER a few of the really talented artists
had been killed in drive-bys (tupac/biggie)

after hearing the new roots, talib kweli, and common albums
i think we have a lot to look forward to.

i just wish some of these 'thugs' would see the LIGHT and
put the guns away!!

so when you wonder "where's hip-hop going?" ask yourself
"where am i going"

"I ain't got time to play no crime lieutenant, do you got
time to play the crime lieutenant?
see time is the asset, how you gonna spend it?"

-Mos Def-

Just focus on the positive Titsworth, and "fuggedabout" the
mafioso gangsta blingbling bullshit rap, ignore it.
It ain't what hip-hop is all about.

its more worrying about how the mainstream views hip-hop.
thats all they know. it's working towards raising a
generation of thugs who don't appreciate women and act as
tough as they can to scare whitey.

rap imo was at its best when the first records of dr dre,
snoop dogg, 2pac etc came out. now its just really stupid
and commercial but i agree with lecouer woth being able to
look forward to some of the less commercial rap groups.
especialy j5 they own

wel im not much of a rap fan anyway to care

The media/industry represses coverage of positive hip-hop so
much its shameful. They only broadcast stories of this kind
of shit to get thier names out there. This is the kind of
crap that attracts veiwers and sells records. If i listened
to that sort of garbage music: I would be glad and rather
guilt free to download it all. We need another J-5 or Hiero
to get us out of this rut. Posotive hip-hop needs to make a
'proper' introduction to the mainstream.
