Paid in Full was really not about anything besides how nice they were, still one if not the best album not too much difference from rapping about how rich you are as long as you have bars, stories, flow and creativity 
.
Personally I like different shyt, Uzi’s shyt bangs harder than Ras Kass at a party, some have better stories, some have better pure emceeing skills, some have that social shyt and some rap about the streets like a well executed movie.

Yeah they heard it, and like all with a sliver of taste wept and longed for what once was.

The tweet and thread is about the deevolution of hip hop. U mentioned the content from an album from 1987 trying to draw a correlation to what nikkas is doin now and IM telling u that as ridiculous as it is to make the correlation cause I dont fully agree with what u reduced the album to. At the same time all it does is prove the shyt aint evolve. If u wasnt talkin bout that then I dont even know why u came in the thread to make a useless post that has nothing to do with the quote at hand in the first place. Either way like I said its about balance and the problem is there’s not enough balance in content on a mainstream level anymore. And not enough skills on display either. Also a complete lack of individuality and creativity.What does 31 years ago have to do with anything?
I need to put you on ignore.

The truth hurts the most.
The fact that Kendrick and Drake are "carrying" the culture forward speaks volumes to the mediocrity we have allowed to stay and be nurtured.
I can't even listen to new artists anymore and I'm their demographic.

Hiphop is not a microcosm of the country.
Hiphop is the voice of the impoverished social stratum of pillar skill based artistry.
We may lyrically report on the happenings of the world as emcees. Yet, bboy/bgirl are to be prescient.
Plus have and acquire knowledge of self as a key target to life.
The problem is our economic based businesses were hijacked as gateways and in profitability. Where the wrong non culturally endorsed individuals are given erroneous precedent over real pillar skill based people within the culture.
So we have the business of rap, which masked over the skill based pillars in scope culturally. Which ruins the effective gateway for possible prospective culturally aware, skilled and culturally responsible bboys/bgirls to be created. The issue is power was given to art houses after they were ostracized early in graf. After graf ostracized the art house because art houses steal/stole. Everything from graf mediums now called fonts. To that art house behavior going from pillar to pillar.
eventually misappropriating every business derived from the pillars. To eventually include all the pillar based businesses and also rap completely.
While also leaving the other pillars no draw, and no economic feasibility or profitability.
