Really? Krs-One bum rushed a concert and tossed Pm Dawn off a fucking stage, Bushwick while depressed, drunk and suicidal, went to his girlfriend’s house and asked her to shoot him. She refused, and he threatened to harm their baby. After a struggle, the gun went off, piercing his eye, leaving a bullet stuck inside his head. He survived the accident, but lost his eye!!! Yeah, his mind is playing tricks, do you even do your homework? I mean I hate to be mean but get some experienced old heads on the staff, I don’t think half these writers even know or really like Hip Hop, if you are trying to get Rick Ross credibility by questioning if Bushwick is a bit off you are out of your fucking mind. Hip Hop is commercialized and fake as ever, don’t desecrate the golden era when motherfuckers meant what they said.

But when they try their hardest to try to sell me on that shit in real life, then it’s a problem. Which is exactly why I’ve been trying to avoid Rick Ross interviews since he said he “requires ten million dollars a year just to function, and that’s not of rap.” I don’t have a problem with Ross’ music, but the facade he tries to maintain in real life pisses me off. Maybe Rick Ross wasn’t a CO back when he was nineteen, but William Leonard Roberts, damn sure was.

that was giving africa, pe and insane clown posse props

We have to take into consideration that these weren’t a few songs he did but his whole persona and in every interview he claimed the same thing. I remember him saying how he already had all this money and a white on white BMW 760 before he even signed to Def Jam.

His music is good I can’t deny that, although Teflon Don has so many features it almost seems like a Def Jam album featuring Rick Ross instead of a Rick Ross album, but his credibility is zero to none because of his lies. He became a caricature of everything wrong with Hip Hop.

It’s ok to embellish the truth a little, every artist does this a little, call it artistic freedom, but to create such obvious and outlandish lies is going too far. Maybe he could have inspired some fans to become C.O.s or get other legal jobs instead of leading his fans to thinking that they should sell drugs to achieve stardom.

That’s why I can’t get over the fact that he’s a fake. His music sounds good but I can’t really “feel” it, it doesn’t “move me” because it’s as factual as Dr.Suess’ nursery rhymes.

^^^ WTF do you mean dressed like an African you ignorant fuck.. Amerikkka stays losing coz of such ignant fucks.. SMH.. go to school and read your history son.

It would bettter Hip-Hop if as a whole if all around it was start a party and have fun but at the SAME time drop knowledge

cosin sha but add the fact that alot of them don’t even know rakim and krs one
