Scenario: Cam’ron is being interviewed by CNN’s Anderson Cooper who asks Cam what if you lived next to a serial killer? You wouldn’t say anything. Cam’s response will go down as the dumbest shit EVER spoke by a human being. He said, naw I wouldn’t say he lived in like apartment 4E. I’d probably just move to another apartment.
Cam, that doesn’t make you a snitch…That makes you a lame and lightweight pussy. Rappers been rolling with C.O.s aka bodyguards. I don’t know any niggas from the hood w/badges that rock security vests.
I usually don’t like to use this type of language, but WHAT A DUMB NIGGA . Some cats don’t understand they’re laughing at you and not with you, but it’s all good as long as he has street cred w/pre teens who can’t see shit for what it is or people who didn’t see him vamp out like Carl Lewis while Jim Jones caught haymakers with his face from some large random cat out of Junior Mafia IN RUCKER PARK IN HARLEM, THEIR HOMETOWN . Watch it for yourself:

So after watching Cam’ron coon blacks back 100 years on 60 minutes I’ve decided once and for all that rap is becoming utterly lame. Rap is no longer social commentary. Rappers are no longer ghetto reporters. Rap is no longer poetic or creative. It’s becoming the sum of all the worst black stereotypes of black society. It’s just a bunch of lame dudes acting out. Rappers remind me of the insecure cats from high school that used to overdo it i.e. excessive slang, extra saggy jeans, gaudy chains, hyper masculine, always talking about females never seen with them etc…We called them squares and I’m not with supporting lame-os
Here’s a list of recent lame things done by rappers
1. Game dissing Vida Guerra (she’s not even a rapper. she’s a whore)
2. Lil Wayne kissin Baby (self explanatory)
3. Yayo slapping up a 14 yr old (yea, that’s very gangsta)
4. Cam’s appearance on 60 minutes
5. Cam’s apperance on The O’Reilly Factor
6. Cam’s life
7. Lil Wayne claiming blood as since 5 minutes ago
8. Jeezy never claiming Macon
9. Jeezy claiming crip
10. Snoop’s response to the Imus controversy
11. Claiming to be the hottest ringtone emcee
12. Storch v. Timberland
Hence……….Hip-Hop Is Dead. Thank you Nasir Jones for making the statement that is obviously true. All the ignorant ass niggas just dont understand, (Were not talking about your snap music retards!!). Which is just another example of why……..Hip-Hop Is Dead.
Black people made rap music wack.
ayo, er’thing u said is true. this new niggaz make me sick. they don bring shit to the table. same ol shit er’day. sippin syrup, woodgrain grippin, grills, hoes, money. nigga please.
Yo’ Liquidswords I’m feeling you… Eli, don’t let me catch you slipp’n… My question is: where was this conversation seven years ago when Jay-z was str-8t pop? Hip-Hop been dead! Listen to KRSONE Hip-Hop Lives… “Hip-hop culture is eternal…”
the truth been out there for people to see.what took so long for people to admit that the music is garbage.i do not care what part of the country it is from,it is all straight garbage.i am just hoping that people with something to say will now get their chance to shine.
You forgot to mention Ludacris actually performing for racist as broad Paris Hilton.
wow. it’s bout time someone stated the TRUTH as to why hip hop is “dying” and didn’t blame it on snap music.
THIS IS THE TRUTH! Great blog post homie! Keep it coming.
aight first of all, hip hop is not dead….look at me..i HATE majority of the mainstream, but yet I realise, that I can STILL listen to 100% what type of hip hop I like(lupe, Budden, Wutang, Sean Price, Loaded Lux, Onyx, Sticky, Vakil, Royce, etc etc etc till infinity)
and still be happy with the state of hip hop im in..period…dont pay attention to the BS…and pay attention to the REAL S
Vyrus is correct lames. Hip hop is not dead, never has been and never will be. The problem with Nas’ assertion if he truly believes that is that he doesn’t make a distinction between rap and hip hop. IT’S NOT THE SAME THING. Rap = that cotton candy bullshit they play on the radio that candy asses like cam make. Hip hop = that real under the radar shit that’s intelligent, creative and not solely influenced by $$$. If you think hip hop is dead listen to madlib, mf doom, brother ali, lupe, the roots, atmosphere etc. etc. The kid has spoken.
You shouldn’t have said anything after that article dawg. Music is music; I hate when people get too serious over this shit. Creativity and intlligence can come from all angles. I can’t listen to those hip hop people you listed all the time, sometimes I wanna hear some jeezy or some 3-6 mafia. Music is music; the business is what is hurting the music.
i agreed with you till you left that dumb ass comment saying that hip hop and rap aren’t the same thing…WTF???
how are they not???
they are just two different lanes that lead towards the same goal in life and thats money…
and i dont give a fuck what you think hip hop=rap point blank period…
some of you idiots think that because something is wack it isnt hip hop… so im guessing you still jam to the sugar hill gang and shit knowing that lyrics have advanced way beyond that point right???
tell me you still pop in a sugar hill gang record and not see the same imprint that that song left on music in modern hip hop today…
the only thing you need to say is that there is GOOD hip hop and WACK hip hop PERIOD… thats it…not say that commercial music is wack we should listen to REAL hip hop
because no matter what these niggas is still built just like us they got family to feed and shit… and im sure you would be rapping the same ice and diamonds and what not if you had the check to do it…
jsut like these nigags in the underground preaching they messages over and over agin for that same shit … MONEY…
:drops mic:
It’s like cats only read one sentence of your response and then go on a tirade. Chill out.
Kalifornia, agreed creativity comes from all angles but so does bullshit. So if you think my comment was me puttin a hit out on the south, trust me it’s not. The eastcoast is putting out some real booty too. Everything that’s recorded in a studio ain’t music to me bruh and I ain’t accepting the bullshit they feeding me. But, if you think this is a backpack vs. mainstream type argument it’s not. It’s a I don’t like bullshit music argument.
Nawshus, I don’t consider DJ Unk or Pop Drop and Lock It hip hop. That shit is like pop music to me. They may be rapping but so does Paris Hilton and Hogan’s daughter. I guess they’re hip hop too. That’s the stupidest comment I’ve ever read. Everybody who spit ain’t hip hop. That $$$ bullshit you talking is why rappers making dookie now. Cats put the dough over the quality and wonder why they one hit and out. It’s nothing wrong w/a rapper wanting dough but if a rapper thinks he’s gonna put out bullshit and cake then they’re sadly mistaken.
Disclaimer: There’s nothing wrong with rappers wanting to cake off. It’s their job; their means of eating but I want cats to put some effort into their music; care about the shit; respect your craft. At least try.
Hey yo Nawshus, silence all of that bullshit right now, the aura of hip hop looks like shit right now point blank. We already know we are under the camera, so why make ourselves look like asses???????????? In hip hop we were taught to play cool, and to always be fly and the best at whatever you do, there was a time when if you were a wack emcee you would get beat down and booed off stage, nowadayz the wack emcee gets the highlight, and it all started with m.c. hammer and that dumb ass music and stupid looking clothes and those weak ass rhymes. He had every simple minded nigga hype him up because it was easy to decipher his wack ass a.b.c. rhymes. That is the problem nowadayz in hip hop, east coast fell off because of complex rhyme skills, using metaphors and analogies to display a message, but when you get uneducated motherfuckers that cannot think or know how to put pieces of a puzzle together you are damn right they wont like the music because they are not into lyrics, they like simple easy ass lyrics given to them on a platter which to me dulls the brain, and makes you look stupid. So when the record industry gave these ignorant emcees that spit bullshit the fame and stardom, then comes the birth of the “jiggaboo nigga” doing his dance with a watermelon in his mouth looking like a pure uneducated dumb ass like “Camron” trying to speak for black people. It has always been the “WACK M.C.” THAT KILLS HIP HOP, the big thing is even though people dont want to say it, Hip hop was at it’s purest with the true m.c. “Black Thought, KRS-ONE, Nas” etc. The thing is most of those emcees are on the east coast, of course there are a lot elsewhere “Del the funky homo sapien, Super Nova, Kanye, Outkast” etc. But a majority of the real heads are on the east and every state has a fuck east coast mentality, but a majority of these m.c.s dont have the same level of competition to keep them hot on the mic like they do on the east so there rhyme skills lack depth in skill. POINT BLANK!!!!
