kudmus 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2008 I'd be happy if it dies completely. The painful thing is it is not dying. I think Nas is saying Hip Hop is transforming into something so different from what they think is true Hip Hop. True poets or blingy rappers I don't care what the difference is but I don't think Hip Hop is doing this world any good. The damage is more than what these rappers can realise and the most affected people are fellow black brethren. Hip Hop has transformed my brother into a materialistic gangster and I hate it for that. When I was growing up I used to listen to listen to 2pac, Easy E, Ice Cube, Juvenile, Postmen, Dr Dre, Snoop, Nas and some underground artists. Most of those guys were slowly turning me into a racist with what they said was "truth". It may be true. I wouldn't know I'm an African and I've never been to Brooklin but do we need to have people preaching the hate gospel instead of making things right?People who listen to Hip Hop develop a habit of blaming everything on someone or something and usually it's "the police", "the system" or simply "they"Please get some education and stop hanging around corners making streets unsafe for yourselves.
