Lately, I've come to terms with the fact I have 'Back in my days' syndrome, just how my father would tell me 'Boy that shit them niggas is making aint music, thats just noise...Earth Wind and Fire, Stevie, Marvin...thats real music' I have become as well. I almost had a heart attack when someone told me Shawty Lo album is killing the streets right now (a statement i will never take serious, ever in life). Every day i been arguing with my manager and other artists about whats wack and why its wack but apparently there's not a consensus. At first I thought maybe its just me, maybe i'm not giving them the proper chance and i'm expecting too much out of new artist...but then i thought again cause this shit is bullshit but niggas is making a million and one excuses for why they won't call it what it is.
1. Just cause you live what you're rapping about doesn't mean you can rap. Point Blank Period. Birdman can pop bottles all day and night but should he be the one rapping...HELL NO. Take that bullshit somewhere else
2. Not everyone is a rapper or should be on a track...or on stage. Everybody rap, everybody got a mixtape, everybody got a myspace and they all think they hot. BULLSHIT. Some people need to invest in other talents they might have like bagging groceries or fixing engines in that driveway you call a shop. If you're the ceo of the label be the ceo of the label, the only one who needs to be seen is Diddy and thats cause Bad Boy is pretty much just Diddy anyway so if he out there them niggas dont exist. Dj Kahled has no reason to be on the track, from what i gather he doesnt produce the beats, he just gets the same people together for a song, we dont need his annoying ass screaming 'WE THE BESSST WHO? WEEEEE'. Another thing bringing every member of your crew on stage and all of em just stand there is a waste.
3. Freestyles - First off i would like to thank Crooked I for reviving freestyles because for a loooong time it had just been gradually getting worse. At one point back in the day when you heard a freestyle it was a good chance that the artist was about to kill it or flip it in a way you would wanna hear it over and over (i.e Eminem over the Mobb Deep joint). But now its just the same ol same ol bullshit about guns and drugs in the same flow. Someone sent this to me cause they knew it would piss me off, apparently Soulja Boy is also doing his own version of Hiphop weekly except he puts up a new freestyle when enough people play his shit (so im conflicted in spreading it, cause if you play it he'll make another and thus continuing the Bullshit). This shit is embarassing "In the club the hoes screaming Soulja Boy/ we dont give a fuck i'm riding in a toyota"...wtf?
4. Hating and being real - Everybody aint hating and even in hating there's some sense of truth in it. To me hating is when a nigga shit on you just cause. But if someone is rapping off beat and you say 'Yo fam...u rapping off beat' then that just means yo sloppy ass was all over the track.
5. Real Hip Hop - This is something i feel is necessary to say real hip hop music has to step it up if we want to erase some of the garbage thats going on. Lupe, Wale and Blu cant do it by themselves. We can't be rapping like 'methphorical cataclismic rhythmic sonic bubonic plague rages inside of my body like Aids' and expect the masses to embrace it.
Great Moment in Anti-Bullshit History: "your life is played out like Kwame and them fuckin Polka Dots" Biggie

So i encourage all of yall to join the Anti-Bullshit Coalition, if its BULLSHIT start being unapologetic about it. If you're a stan, have enough sense to believe that the person you worshipping is not perfect. Talented emcee's time to step the game up. And if your a grown man playing Dance Dance Revolution....stop it immediately
