So artist that Kanye admired like A Tribe Called Quest & De La Soul as soft or weak? Now I grew up when rap had it’s different sides. If there was N.W.A., there was Public Enemy. Then there’s De La while Too Short & Too Live Crew were spitting their nasty rhymes. While nasty rhymes was rocking the crowd, Hammer was showing the world that his James Brown style of Hip Hop can fit in the rap world. And let’s not forget L.L., Rakim, Moe Dee, Ice T, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick & others I can’t remember right now. There were balance back in the days where you can hear different types of rap. As for 50, he wasn’t the best rapper at all. His first album “Get Rich Or Die Trying” was his only best, he should had grown with his second album but it was the same B.S. plus he was just a big asshole in the hip hop game, so people were getting tired of him & when you say dumb things like “If Kanye out sells me, then I’m going to retire”. All the publicity stunt backfired on 50 and now look where he is now? Sure he’s a multi-millionaire but 50 would love to be in the position that Jay & Dr. Dre is in right now. 50 is now known as the bully of hip hop that’s making crappy tracks. You can say hip hop/rap is now trash but I wouldn’t blame on Kanye, an artists that pushing the envelope with his next record. I would put that on record executives that signing garbage acts like Nicki Minaj, Drake, phony Rick Ross & Will I Am while real hip hop artists aren’t getting the attention they deserved.
