Hip hop isn't supposed to be all watered down like it is today. You take a guy like jeezy, he's supposed to be rhyming about moving crack and ****, but his lyrics are so milquetoast they don't reflect the rugged reality. the **** is being filtered and censored by the record labels, they push **** that makes topics that are supposed to be offensive and thought-provoking and rugged, they make these topics look mundane and acceptable. That ain't reality rap. That ain't what The Chronic was about, N.W.A., Wu-Tang Clan, etc.
The RZA of Wu Tang says:
"Hip-hop is just unbalanced. Right now, rappers are glorifying their hell. How you gonna tell me it's cool to live in the ghetto? Who wants to live where you got rats, roaches, pissy elevators, shootings, killings, rapings, drug addicts, alcoholics, all in a four block radius?"
