Rap and Hip-Hop

This is in response to the guy AimJeezy's question. You were saying that by calling his album N*gger he's making Hip Hop's situation worse, but maybe thats what he wants to do. I think Nas knows exactly what he's doing. I remember hearing him say that he wishes Hip Hop could be broken down, and built back up again. Maybe thats what he's doing. First it was 'Hip Hop is Dead' which got people who were once fans to doubt it, and now its 'N*gger', which will amp up the media's attacks and turn even more people off of Hip Hop. I think each album is another step in the breaking down process.

Just because you don't rhyme about guns and drugs that doesn't automatically make you intelligent. I mean, listening to black maybe made me question his whole style.

This is from his recent song, "Gossip".Now lyrically I kno it is not his best work but these lines are pretty meaninful if you look into em careful. They are kinda personal and relate strictly to him.

Been working hard on projects all week, that's why my visits are so intermittent. And my fingers are sluring on the keyboard. You guys stay up and fight the good fight, and stay out of trouble. I feel a word coming on...
Greetings to one and all, come gather around the fire,
Late night stories told by tellers to instruct and inspire;
Been up for a couple of days, approaching the final wire,
Projects in the bag, presentations employers desire.
I’m 27 years old and had made my first million,
before turning 21 purchasing commercial buildings.
Bought some light stocks, no flash, just good feeling,
Educated myself with business courses which happened to be appealing;
Traveled around the country after graduation by myself,
My dog, a bunch of books, and possibly my future spouse;
Almost kicked her out of the car while entering Dakota South,
Cause her control of the car didn’t seem to match her mouth;
What was I to do? Make her go and call her folks,

Been up for 72 hours working on a project. How do you spell delirious. LOL LOL LOL
Y!A congratulations it’s your day,
time to graduate and put the haters away
Scientists say “Humans will split into two species,”
must be true, Heard it on yahoo, evolutionary feces,
while rain showers ease wildfire conditions,
rasheed Wallace complains NBA League’s like wrestling;
sometimes I’d rather be on Google or Ask.com,
but neither search engine has a rap/hip hop forum;
My Yahoo, has my mail and sports on one page,
I can read world news, while the radio plays;
I can look for a job and check the stock market,
But I can’t stop Rap folk from being suspension target;
See, there’s Ant, Primetime, IAMTHEMAN, and Evil,
Posting questions and answers, and trying to be peaceful;
YA RLY aka Da Snitch, and N.E.R.D.S. Rule,
Each with their opinions, and feeling the old and new skool,
Yet answers keeps on hittin’ us with reports everyday,
Run DMC taught us how to walk this way,

I love Redman, and think he is probably one of the best "fun" rappers who actually has skills. He is a great lyrcist, just his lyrics are fun and he is animated.
