Where have all the rappers gone? 

Where have all the rappers gone?

I know what you are thinking. Its either "WTF are you talking about because there are like a million rappers" or "They all got shot". Lets address the first one. I'm not talkin about these dime a dozen rappers that do nothing more than curse and talk about their escalade and have like 2 hits before we forget they ever existed. I want to know when we are going to get some one to replace Tupac and biggie, because some of what we have now isn't cutting it. It's like a prerequisite for rappers now to get street credibility after their records drop. I'm not sure that R. Kelly pissing on little girls is really the type of street credibility one needs anyhow. And DMX had potential but now he shows up in Jet Li and Steven Seagal movies, which doesn't make his music any better.
Back in the day there were the big rappers like Dre, Snoop, and even Run DMC. Now we still have those guys to a certain extent, but Dre isn't pissed off anymore, Run DMC isn't making anything new, and Snoop would rather focus on his porno career. Maybe I should start listening to country?

Apparently I can receive comments on this thing. Who knew? That's totally cool and please continue to comment. Maybe I should read the instructions on things like this before I get going. I didn't give credit to Eminem and perhaps I should have. He is definitely one of my favorite artists, but his style of rap is in the minority. He says what he wants when he wants how he wants to whomever he wants and that is totally cool. My point was that back in the day there seemed to be more artists who would speak their minds. All I hear today is how much money and bitches they have. I just think the style of music has more potential than that. I don't know if any of you guys can see the comments posted by people email me if you want me to post them on here separately.
