The Amerikkkan Idol
The Amerikkkan Nightmare
Having songs about balling etc,then hating on others that do the same makes you a sucka and fraud. I've diagnosed your problem though. You're green with envy that you're nobody,nothing and other rappers whom rap similar topics to you have lapped you a million times. It's a much more comfortable place to live in Fantasy where you're super dope and being held back cause you're too hip hop,for the culture and real. But really,you're fake,wack and corny. But I understand why you would rather live in your fantasy than accept the harsh realities.
Dude, I don't want to try to speak for Art, but I don't think that anybody's saying that merely making songs about street shyt and balling made you a sellout. It's WHO YOU DO IT FOR and WHY you are doing it.
If you're a street nikka appealing to street nikkaz, that's not sellout shyt. That's culture shyt.
If you're a street nikka (like Jay) creating palatable street shyt for Beckys and wiggers, then THAT is some sellout shyt.
Jay, Puff, 50, nikkaz like that were making TRL type records that helped shift Hip-HOp culture from the streets to the suburbs, which is why Hip-Hop is in the fukked up predicament it's in now.
