The Hip Hop/Rap Thread

A lot of people seem to think that that all rappers talk about "money, hoes, drinking. etc" Back in the early days there were alot of artists who kept it positive:

Run-DMC
The Fat Boys
Beastie Boys
KRS-One
Public Enemy
Ed OG And The Bulldogs
Salt-N-Pepa
DJ Jazzy Jeff And The Fresh Prince
Whodini
Krushin MC's

Jam it back in, in the dark.

RIP

It's gonna be pretty hard to look at Eminem's video for Toy Soldiers.

How ya doing, buddy?

This has to be a pretty tough time for Eminem right now. His divorce and Proof getting killed.

Just what do all these killings achieve? I'll tell you what they achieve. Not a damn thing. Some people take beefs a little too far and decide to take extreme actions, which results in senseless deaths. Look at all of the rappers who have been killed due to violence; I counted about 10, but there may be more. A few well known ones are:


Biggie Smalls- died 3-9-97
Tupac Shakur- died 9-13-96
Jam Master Jay- died 10-30-02
Soulja Slim- 2-14-04(I'm told)

Then others like Mac Dre, Big L, Mr. C from RBL Posse, some guy from U.N.L.V. based out of New Orleans and even more. It's just that some people take it a little too far and instead of being grown up about their problems and discussing them like men, people want to murder, which is unjustified.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
