hiphop/rap is real talk - real music
i cant stand fake ass shit man dont talk about it if you havn't lived it. dont portray some made up image thats not real. Thats the death of hiphop right there.

Well down here in miami that whole Rick Ross thing was common knowledge, everyone knew William used to be a CO but he was like a kid 19 ya kno...he shouldnt have lied, real niggaz dont care if you tried to do something with ya life and it aint work out, but dont front about it lol

Funny story about Plies, I had a public speaking class with Plies at USF univ of south florida, yea i went to college with dude, he got a degree, dont let the goon-tastic verbiage fool you, dude is intelligent.

Everything you hear in a song is bullshit, it's just like a movie. I don't take anything they say seriously, it's for entertainment purposes only. You don't see people going around saying Oliver Stone (guy who wrote Scarface) or Steven Spielberg is fake, why? Because it's fake and for entertainment, just like rap music.

exactly.
nobody is real anymore.

I sincerely doubt many rappers were ever real honestly. I'm sure there are some but I bet you rappers have been faking it since the whole 90s gangster rap movement.

It's just music, not a "realness" competition.

Apparently you've never been to a film festival. Not all movies are just for entertainment, even though most of the mainstream movies are. Was "An Inconvenient Truth" made just for entertainment? What about all the films that are there to make us think about our lives and how we should live it? Of course most films have entertainment in them but many of them have more dimensions than just that.
Everything in a song is bullshit? Are you serious? You tellin us that Isaac Hayes spoke bullshit? Sure a lot of rappers today are spittin bullshit but all rap from Nas, Tupac, Common, etc.?
Steven Spielberg's "Schindler's List" is fake? I don't think I understand what all ur talkin bout.

i don't really care about the rappers, i just care about what they rappin

At the end of the day, remember, it's all entertainment.Don't take any of it literally. Real Gangsters don't make music. I know a lot of them and the last thing on their mind is making a song.

What I mean is that most movies are made to entertain and we don't really care if it's real or not, we just want to be entertained and that's the way I look at music. If it's not entertaining, then what is the point?

So you sayin 2PAC, BIG, DMX, Cassidy, D Block, Irv Gotti the Game .. they all fake huh

Rap WAS a "realness". Now most of what you hear is POP music. its POPULAR to say you this gangsta ass type. But in my opinion you dont say you affiliated if your not. eventually you gunna get caught up by that real gangsta who dont like your front. Thats how i was raised.

EVERYBODY GOT REAL GOOD POINTS.RAP USE TO BE REAL,BUT WHEN BIG MONEY GOT INVOLVED IT GOT FAKE.I FEEL IF U RAP ABOUT YOUR REAL LIFE INSTEAD OF WHAT EVERBODY ELSE IS DOING YOU CAN MAKE MONEY.I MEAN WE AINT RICH,ITS MORE POOR PEOPLE THAN RICH PEOPLE,SO I CAN RELATE TO BEING POOR QUICKER THAN BEING RICH.THATS WHY RAP WAS REAL BACK IN THE DAY CAUSE EVERYBODY WASNT TRYIN TO STUNT!!!!!
