rap/hip-hop isnt already truly taken as a serious genre of art? i would argue it is and dis-agree with any1 who thinks it isnt…i think we are there, lots of artists 2day say: it’s not even as much rap n hip-hop nemore, its pop…its definatly crossed over, has had an impact on culture and young people overall for years now, and shitt: pac classes are taught at colleges… yeaa, think it already is taken as a serious genre of art, i mean n fuck how its taken! n what people wanna accept or think, it is a serious genre of art, it just is…and the rebellion factor is partially what makes rap, so fuck em, that is the art lol 4real…and off note, i know jay is trying/wants to progress da game and all that, he loves da game and wants to take it to new heights…dats awesome and i love that, i’m not denying that he really wants 2 do that..and that he already has done that and is doing that to this day, love his mindframe and his sincere care for the state of the game…he will continue to be successfull in doing that(in progressing da game) and he will continue to take it to new places, broaden it, put it on a bigger stage, progress it, and overall make it better…things can always get bigger n better, n things ALWAYS progress, cuz u know how young this rap game really is…but as far as da game being a serious genre of art, definatly is, no question(dats what it is, period)…and as far as it being “taken as” i believe it is, and any1 denying that just doesnt like it, want it, or wanna accept it…we here, its a young natured game, has been here and isnt going anywhere…its in good hands, and is in a GREAT state n place right now on top of that, in my opinion

you’se a dumb ninja if you believe that jay-z deception stuff. so the illuminati (which doesn’t exist) is letting rappers in??? WOW. Nice! I wanna be down too.

Dumb ninja. what would they gain from letting Jay in? Why just Jay? What about 50? Puff? Why stop at rappers. Let Bono in too. Cher. Christina Agulera. Justin Timberlake.

Shyt, the head of the illuminati is Justin Beber.

decoding “big pimpin”?? wtf?!? these niggas are waaaay 2 arrogant these days… got damn!

pac had a class at uc berkley ( the really good one, not that berkley collage from late night infomertials lol) on his lyrics like 10 years ago…

unfortunately, no matter how much we like hip hop and try to make our artists out to be profound, the reality is that 99percent of all hip hop lyrics by nearly every artist (especially jayz) are just shit talking, or clever ways of shit talking.. finding a slick way of saying something doesnt make what you are saying any more profound…

jay songs fall into a few catagories:
hustlin, flossin, bragging his ceo power type status, complaining (his new obsession)

that being said reasonable doubt had some super slick word play detailing the ins and outs of hustling that may not have been obvious if u werent knee deep in the hustler culture/language, but the rest of his shit is way way obvious…. like kanyes “movie” — how obvious was that last line about “your world doesnt accept blah blah” these niggas too obvious these days way too obvious..then have the nerve to be arrogant as fuck lol

@nicholasdelorejo
Doubt that will happen but this is start
I agree with jay-z doing this despite his lyrics are pretty easil understood

Pharoahe Monch Nas and canibus need to release something like that!!!
I don’t even get the first few bars of Nas”U gotta love it’-”Nastradaus ?lic….”

True but many big things start out small. Imagine if this becomes a big success. Next thing you know artists like Em, Big L, and Nas will get their own versions of “Decoded” and rap lyrics will be taught in universities and colleges. This might be the first step in Rap being truly taken as a serious genre of art.
