It’s funny when people use the ‘who got the most money’ argument for who’s the best Rapper... when Hip Hop music was literally created from poverty and struggle.

The reason so many Artists have Ghost Writers is because they’re too busy trying to be celebrities instead of actually creating their own “Art”. They’d rather pose for groupie photographers and get called nice names than lock themselves in the house and put in that work.

People who side with police over black people killed by police usually look at the victim as less of a person than themselves. If you cant look at the Breonna Taylor case and think 'what if police did that to my mom, sister or daughter' then what does that say about you?

KOOL G RAP Is Undeniably one of the greatest that ever lived (for DECADES). Some may not understand the levels of his greatness/artistry but its etched in stone. The culture has to pay Respect/Love to our ICONS while they're still with us.. not shit on them.

You clowns are so fast to defend Wack rappers by saying "oh you're just some old heads"... Age has nothing to do with it... There are so many young ferocious murderous incredible MC's born in the 90s & 2000's that are just as fed up with dumbed down music as us "old heads".

There is a controversy cuz EMINEM uses the word RETARD on a new song. so fucking what? its a RAP SONG. HIP HOP was NEVER meant to be SAFE. No disabled person was hurt by it... Just others creating fake outrage looking for attention. Stop crying about WORDS
