All these guys can spit, but it just doesn't translate to the larger level.
But that's whats wrong with,"rap" these days. Too much BS about cars, movies, glits, and glam. Take it back a few years with people/groups, like Three Six, (before the sell out), Pastor Troy, DSGB, Trillville, Jeezy's first album, TI's first album, Project Pat, Gangsta Boo, and many many more. That's real rap. Dancing in the club and snapping your fingers, is just fucking stupid. Club bangers are only suitible for white suburbia, hitting the club. Rich college kids do the same. Rednecks in jacked up trucks blastin 95.5... It's just so over board. Hip-Hop/Rap is nowhere close to what it was. People like Reed, Millz, etc... bring the streets back in their raps. The rap scene in ATL was the place to be 5 years ago. Now we're as dead as other major cities. No one reps where they're from anymore and takes pride in the life they had to live, to give you a hot track to bump. Bring that shit back, and then you'll be able to call rap, RAP.

/rant...lolol... carry on
