they suck ass.....hip-hop is approaching the first stages of RIGOR MORTIS....what else is new? all rap/hip-hop is about now is hooks/beats/materialism......THERE ARE NO REAL lyricists anymore and if they are still in existence, they do not get pushed by major labels because the message given isnt with the current "industry standard" I.E. if it is deep, thoughtful and positive, IT'S NOT IN. simple hooks and bullshit. that's HIP-HOP, it's been that way for a while. muthafukkas got me ready to listen to fukkin country....
