Commentary: THE DEARLY DEPARTED

NOTE THAT I AM NOT ONE FOR A REVELATION WHEN IT COMES TO SOCIAL COMMENTARY, BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN IT NEEDS TO BE SAID AND REITERATED THAT HIP HOP IS A THING OF THE DISTANT PAST. ITS DEAD.

I GOT A NEW JAY Z SONG IN THE INBOX LAST NIGHT CALLED "DOA" DEATH OF THE AUTOTUNE.

I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. AUTOTUNE WENT OUT WITH ROGER TROUTMAN..

THIS NEW THING WE REPLACED HIP HOP WITH... THIS... THIS RAP THING DOESNT QUITE CUT IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE CONTENT AND THE SUBSTANCE THAT HIP HOP HAS GIVEN US AS FOOD FOR THE SOUL. THE SOUNDTRACK HAS BEEN REWRITTEN AND EVEN THE GOD MC HOV CANT HELP IT AT THIS POINT..

**smashes a fresh copy of STANKY LEG on the concrete**

NOW, DONT GET ME WRONG..

DANCES ARE GOOD FOR THE MUSIC AND THE PARTY GOERS... THE KIDS WHO LOVE TO DANCE AND THOSE WHO ENJOY THAT TYPE OF FUN.... SOME OF THIS CRAP IS JUST WHAT I CALLED IT. CRAP.

I DONT CARE HOW MANY SPINS IT GETS.. I VIEW IT LIKE THIS

IF YOU FORCE FEED A PERSON SH*T THEN THEY HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO ACCEPT IT SAY THE LEAST.

WE HAVE THOSE CATS THAT UNDERSTAND IT... SKYZOO.. HE GETS IT.. MR.44 AND JUS MIC THEY GET IT.. BLACKSTEELZ.. THEY GET IT.. SO DOES MF DOOM, JOEL ORTIZ, SLAUGHTERHOUSE MAINO AND A HOST OF OTHERS...

BUT EVEN THEIR OWN HOUSES DONT SUPPORT THEM FULLY. THESE CATS STILL HAVE TO ROCK OFF OF THIER HUSTLE GAME JUST TO STAY ABOVE WATER WHILE YOU GOT THESE A-B-C RAPPERS.... YES RAPPERS... GETTING IT LIKE THEY INVENTED THE WHEEL....

T- PAIN... WAS THERE REALLY A HIP HOP IN YOUR HOUSE?

OR DID THE RAP PHENOMENON CATCH YOU UP INTO THE RAPTURE AS WELL?

LONG LIVE THE LARGE PRO...PREMO AND DOO WOP... YOU KNOW WHATS FUNNY?

DOO WOP SPITS BETTER THAN 3/4 OF THE RAP INDUSTRY AND YALL DONT EVEN SEE HIM ON YALLS RADAR!!!! WHERE THE HELL ARE THE A&R'S?

OH I FORGOT... THEY HOPPED UP OUTTA BED AND GOT THEIR SWAG ONNNNNNNN..

***mental note*** ALL I WANT FOR XMAS IS SOME REAL HIP HOP ONCE AGAIN..

SOME BREAKDANCERS ON THE STAGE INSTEAD OF 20 HOMEBOYS FROM THE AVE...

A DJ INSTEAD OF A SHOW TRACK.

A WELL THOUGHT OUT SHOW (PEACE TO BUSTA RHYMES AND SPLIFF STAR) THAT PEOPLE CAN APPRECIATE WHEN THEY PAY THOSE OVERLY INSANE PRICES AT THE BOX OFFICES..

ALL I WANT IS HIP HOP.... AUTOTUNE.. DIE..DIE..die...die...die..
