tonights boondocks episode was perfectly fitting for this thread

this topic comes up in one form or another frequently 'round these parts advice to rappers: invest in land/properties, not being homeless should always be your main priority. and if you have kids, get life insurance, its not that expensive, you can get a policy for like $50 a month. you don't have t...

So..this cat who was an OG Decept was a lil out of hand at Statik Selektah's release party at SOBs. Drunk obviously at one point he held up the show for 30 mins warning everybody to tuck their chains. it was funny. then downstairs he starts telling people back stage that NYC aint holdin it down anym...

we're talking about cds not tapes right? the first tape I bought was umc's fruits of nature. before that my neighbor used to give me bootleg copies of everything, but I wanted that album and it wasn't on the bootleggers blanket so I went to the wiz and copped it for $6.99 of course I had redman's al...

I used to work the schools radio station so I always jacked theirs... but the first time I ever paid for a cd was with one of those columbia house ads in the magazines that said buy 10 cds for a penny.

I wonder if Pack started writing this as a 2009 wrap up, got bored and turned it into this concept.

hahah sounds like it...but nah

of course they will.

just don't try to flip it like the artist is the one doing something wrong.

ok people need to stop acting like cats are bitching about not being able to sell physical cds with all this "get with the times" shit the fact is "fans" need to get with the times. times have changed and music is now way easier for YOU TO GET but still requires the same amount of time, money for ar...

nah...there's a brick wall in front of me that would probably be more receptive to the thought

I think he's on point he's not speaking so much about how things effect him, moreso about how things effect the music/entertainment industry in general and while he's not saying anything new, its good that its coming from someone who is successful because when it comes from someone who is closer to ...

Employee is 10 times the writer jay electronica is.

I go to a lot of shows and a lot of times there's rappers who's music I don't really like, but they put on dope sets and I will give them props for that. I am not really a fan of mr. lif, but he's a really good performer jean grae doesn't jump up and down, but she's a good performer I literally saw ...

so because ur bored with hiphop shows, u find it entertaining to watch boring hiphop shows?
