I keep spittin’ like a retard

While at the barbershop two days ago, I couldn’t help noticing that two fellas had spent about 15 to 20 minutes engaging in a mentally enriching discussion about Lil’ Wayne and how he made it rain at a famous H-town strip club. Pause.

“Man, that boy Wayne made it rain at HK the other night. That boy must of blew like $30,000.”

It sort of reminded me of my own conversation with a friend three weeks ago. My boy had almost bought the idea (sold to him by another Wayne loyalist) that Weezy was literally sitting on real dollar bills in the “Make It Rain” video. My response? “No one’s that stupid.” The same Weezy enthusiast maintained that his favorite rapper was well ahead of the rest because he rhymed about big money. “Other rappers ain’t talking ’bout nothin’,” he stressed.

So, here’s a question for you:
What would you rather hear your favorite rhyme-slingers rap about?

a) Fame and fortune
b) Knowledge of self
c) Sexual escapades
d) Guns and drugs
e) Social commentary
f) Other (specify)

    ^lol Riz, I noticed the same thing. I think it’s because the Republicans have the money. And it’s all about the dollar.

    Renato hit the nail on the head, it doesn’t matter as long as they’re doing it from the heart and have some originality.

    The sad part is that F almost automatically puts you in that category so I’m a bit inclined to go with that one.

    i would rather they rap about regular stuff and stuff that no one else raps about because anybody and rap bout niggas and hos and how famous they are, even violence. but not many have enough imaginiation to rap about real stuff. Thats why i like jay z cuz even tho he did rap about the above stuff he rapped about other issues to. real issue yknow.

    everything in this world boils down to sex and money.

    and I give Lil Wayne some love cause hes a very good mainstream southern artist, he can spit. No where close to the best rapper alive but a very good one, dont go to either extreme, acknowledge some of his talent

    I’m a big b) and e) fan, myself. My favorite albums have either heavy introspection (Me Against the World), relevant political commentary (The Revolutionary Vol. 1), or these themes intersped with other concepts, making for a well-rounded album (Food & Liquor, Marshall Mathers LP).

    Knowledge of self would be cool to hear more about cause there must be more different ways of saying it, than just talking about money n ice. Talking about the self could lead to so many other things. Things we think about and see, like social commentary. More rappers should rap about just their everyday lives. Funny, smart stuff.

    f – bragacious rhymes. Rap abt how ure much better than the next rapper.
