Real, OG, Old School Gangsta Rap rules.

I've found myself in a very interesting place listening to Rap. Not that bullshit like lil wayne and Pitbull. But the real shit. I'm talking about Geto Boys, N.W.A, Big L, Souls of Mischief, Ice Cube, Eazy E etc. These guys are straight up real gangstas.

"Does Odd Future have a midget in their group? Nope".
Geto Boys are fantastic. Like fucking amazing. I'm pretty you have heard of them if you've seen Office Space, but still, this is some gangsta shit; I mean with lyrics like: "Back up in your ass with the resurrection, Is a group harder than an erection, that shows more affection, they wanna ban us on capitol hill, because its die mutha fuckas! Die mutha fuckas! kill!".

Mac Miller just had a seizure. That lame ass still raps about yogurt.

The interesting thing for me is that the popular, more radio oriented 'rap' gets all the attention and everyone eats it up like popcorn. People love the stupid shit like Andre Nickatina, Roach Gigs and all that crap. How does rap go from the street-smart and abrasive "Fuck the Police comin' straight from the underground" to the nonsensical and overly decadent "Find me in da club, drinking whiskey in a tub" ? Are you fucking kidding me? It's almost like watching the evolution of society, except it's a de-evolution. Rap, hip-hop, whatever you want to call it; has reached epic new lows. And it sucks, because the old school stuff is beyond great.

My best guess is that the genre went from trying to appeal to a pissed off male audience, to a happy go lucky teenage mall oriented audience. Where the name of the game isn't citing problems in the hood or with the cops, but by making sure there is a good beat in the club. You know what? Fuck the club. Fuck the mall. And fuck your Bentley. Who gives a shit about partying when you can express yourself through lyrical art in order to identify a cause? That I'm afraid, has all been lost.

Ever seen a Soulja Boy video? In one of them that dumbass no talent retard is trolling around on his scooter throwing money in the air because he has 'swag'. What a jerk-off. I hope he jumps off a bridge when his next albums goes #3.

N.W.A for life bitches.
