@nicholasdelorejo You made some very interesting points. I totally agree with the album cover reference. It should remind us all that at the end of the day, this whole industry is run by money. Period. Take away Drake and Niki Minaj’s fiscal backing and they are still tolling away on the “underground” circuit. So yes, Talib and all the other nice MC’s won’t make the cut because guess what, most people or the “common folk” don’t care to hear what they have to say or their music. That’s it. Gucci, Wacka, Soulja, and more are the ones that can push magazine sells. Sad but true. I was shocked and surprised by the collab but let’s be honest, a lot of industry figures like Gucci Mane. It is what it is.

I feel what your saying from your last comment on Bol’s post but here’s the thing I’ve noticed: a lot of these so called respectul, concious rappers often give cosigns to a lot of the ignorant, silly rappers. When Oprah had that town hall meeting on hip-hop, Common was definding not only rap but even the so called silly, LCD rap that includes Gucci, Wacka Flocka, Soulja Boi, ect. Nas even defended Soulja Boi and claimed hip to be just as much of hip-hop as him, Queen Latifa supported Three 6 Mafia when they won the Academy award even though she came from the so-called “Golden Age” of Hip-hop, and BLack Thought even gave Wayne some props even when Wayne is often the most hated rapper. But when do you hear any of these “minstrel” rappers ever give acknoledgement to these so called concious rappers. The only rapper I can think of doing this is Bun B but he cosigns everybody.

My point is that people are upset about this collaboration because Talibs fans think that Gucci is another one of those get rich-scheme rappers who don’t necessarily think of rap as music as they think of it as a hustle. Why wouldn’t you be mad if your favorite artists goes out their way to acknowledge and show respect to another artist that may not even acknowledge their music. This isn’t hatred for Gucci more that it’s hatred for a lot of these hustler rappers that view rap as the new crack game. I don’t think many people hate Gucci for his music. It’s the preference the industry has for the type of music he makes than others. It’s a shame how dudes like Gucci and Ross can get album release dates and cover s on XXL but rappers like Talib who have toured internationally and show respect to the rappers that don’t even appreciate them get ignored. Shit Lupe has to get have a petition for his album to release but Ross can get an expensive, over-produced album that can only sell 150K.

Ayo, Harlem is slightly right.. Ace has a few good ones I’ve heard in the past but for J.Cole’s sake, let Cole first get ‘established’ established before he starts to try to resurrect careers.. Today I was happy to hear J.Cole on the radio. Fuego

You watch Entourage?

Seriously?

That show’s fucking horrible.

If this was during the first season or second season, or even third…yeah, sure. Okay.

But in 2010? Entourage? Get the fuck out of here.

Meka man you really keep disappointing your readers with this stuff lol…how does all of what you’ve mentioned, have to do with an above average emcee pairing up with a shitty one? All of the stuff you’ve mentioned was all personal stuff that we as fans shouldn’t even give two shits about.

I don’t care if Mos Def tries to beat Chamberlain’s record or Erykah becomes babymama of the year- I just want to hear some good music.

Bol just did a post on this yesterday. Either someone from Gucci Mane or Kweli’s camp cut Harris a check or you have fallen to an all time low.
