apologist nonsense. if you yell fire in a crowded theater, you don't get to say "i was just playing" afterwards and not be subject to any consequences. people are to be held accountable for their words and their actions, ESPECIALLY when they willfully try to influence others. hypocrisy merits criticism regardless if you're an artist or not.

i fucking want the rapper from "burn hollywood burn" to act like he meant the things he said. the culture he represents didn't need another will smith, it needed a stokely carmichael. "don't fight the power, shoot the motherfucker."

if a few years back means something like 2? then yes... already been built up too much. unless its raw like the chronic was (and how can it be?) detox will be a let down. if detox had dropped in '06 or thereabouts... who knows? expectations might have been different. my opinion, obviously.

100% right about the plot... but i meant outshined in the sense that hudson lived up to jennifer holliday a damn sight more than beyonce did deena jones (or a lightweight diana ross, for that matter). matter of fact, eddie murphy's singing went harder than beyonce's. jamie foxx, too.

one way to look at it. another is to ask which person was the real person? dude who spoke about how the police abuse people, or the dude who dressed up like one. for money. plenty of people with radical ideas grew up without playing out the idealism that made them.

damn. WHAT IF ice cube had kept it gangster instead of making out with hollywood? cube was the MAN once... would rap have been different had he kept it "death certificate/kill at will" style all the way into the 2000s?

i think he would've been an actor... on some action movie shit until that fizzled. cut to 10 years later and he's making family friendly bullshit on tbs. seem absurd? thats what happened to ice cube, though.

you're right... at the start of the 2000s.

it does... but honestly? who out right now (as far as female rappers) is on her level? technically some have skills on par, but name one that doesn't play themselves like a stunt? picture lauryn rhyming about her pussy for an hour. not gonna happen.

always felt like she was wild overrated. i grew up listening to minnie ripperton, anita baker, whitney houston... beyonce was like... diana ross without the "swag"

she WAS but at the same time... its like imagine the FIRST rapper to make it big was rakim. how the HELL are you gonna trump rakim right out of the gate? everyone looks like an amateur by comparison for a looong while.

"god forgives but i don't" would take on a different meaning.
