Another shooting at HOT 97 !! does hip hop/ rap really need to add another negative chapter to it's already tarnish image???
It boogles my mind that this genre of music continues to grow in popularity and make tons and tons of money despite all the negativity all these years! i guess the success of this genre is a reflection of today's society. how sad.
I often wonder if the downfall of freestyle music had something to do with the fact that it didn't spread such negative messages in it's lyrics.
Perhaps if such classic's as Johnny O's "fantasy girl" or Safire's "Boy ive been told" were renamed "fantasy hoe" or "Ni*ger ive been told" then these artist would've still enjoy success today.
You know, I know some lyrics to our favorite freestyle music were not the best, and maybe even cheesy at times, But I'd rather keep it that way.
