(Real)Hip-hop is known for his truthfulness, its authenticity. From Kool Herc to Mos Def, the longest lasting artists in the game are known for simply keepin' it real, at art form truly perfected by those in the game. And you can bet, if there's any b*tch*ssedness going on in Hip-Hop, there'll be some kind of noise about it. Somebody somewhere will do any interview/diss track/mixtape about it, directed at fake cats.
My question is, what happens to these fake, frontin', foolish emcees? I mean, everybody talks about them, about how they never did half the stuff they rhyme about, how they never sold drugs a day in their life, they're still a virgin, et cetera. Why haven't we weeded these suckas out yet? You'd think that with all this complaining, somebody would be getting the beat down. But it doesn't seem like anything is being done about it.
I've got more than a few ideas about who these wankstas are, but when do we start naming names?
All I'm saying is, there doesn't seem to be any reduction of lameness. There should be some kind of public beating for these fools, just so we know that something is being down about this.
Or is just all accusations? Is hip-hop just pointing fingers at who "seems" fake? Like Papa Doc/Clarence from 8 Mile, its time for someone to get put on BLAST. That's all I'm saying.

have we learned nothing from Rin-n-tin: the hip hop dalmatians?
Dre's (Taye Diggs character, not the Dr.) ex-record label cared only about one thing: making money.
And record companies and the suits behind it don't care about authenticity, they care about what most of us care about: What will make the most money.
You can stack up Talib's record sales next to Fiddy's and see that Hip Hop has been caught doing a strip tease in a gentleman's club, wearing a thong labeled "Rap". I mean...she's gotta eat, right?
In my opinion soulja boy is fake...its all fake.
Isnt the purpose of hip hop to take the raw from the streets and put it out there for others to experience? Well now all ppl talk about is gold chains and name brands...
excuse the rant...
i think, like most other things, there should be some sort of balance...we need wack rappers just as much as we need excellent rappers. The problem comes in when money, young minds and old white executives enter the equation.
These kids of today grew up on wiggity wackness so its no wonder they think soulja boy is the best rapper ever. They sad lil minds for some odd and stupid reason equate album sales and popularity to skill.
Those of us who know the truth, just sit back and watch because its all we really can do.
Rappers point fingers without action because thats what rap is about now. Rap about things you would never do/have never done, so it makes sense that they call someone out and sit on their hands.
one of those milli vanilli cats ended up taking his own life.
i agree @ it's just finger pointing going on. mainly due to this cat or that cat selling more records and getting more publicity. the artist who are still keeping real hip hop alive usually are the ones who never point any fingers. it's always the cats who are not keeping the true art alive and get mad cause another similar cat is being recognized more.
@ Spoken.Word: Its sad, because it seems like we are at the disposal at whatever they decide to spit out at us. some times i wonder, are they even listening/watching?
@mspuddin: please, by all means, rant away! i thought that's what we were put here for...
@saitek: i agree with the balance...but it DOES suck, doesn't it? jeez...
@don: maybe we should invest in seriously inventing some kind of "hater-b-gone". like, some kind of concoction, with a mixture of cinnamon, baking powder and kool-aid. that should get rid of the finger pointing, eh?
I agree... but the bubble gum fakes are selling... so the labels wont allow them to be fully exposed... all they will let leak are the accusations
