He's talking about his testes.

I think in about 5 years everyone will wake up and look back on hip hop the same way we all now look back at 80's music. "What the Hell were we thinking?"

Big ass record comapnies won't put much effort into marketing the likes of Dead Prez, Immoral Technique, and Mos Def because their lyrical content is such that it can infringe on the objectives of those record companies. The best rappers talk the truth about the times and environment they live(d) in. They spoke/speak of stuggle and strife and what they think the government is upto. They sent/send a message in the music. Often these artists would empower and influence the listener to get up and do something positive. Instead, we have rappers chatting about that which will oppose much of what traditional artists stood for. It's all about Bling Bling, Biatches, Booty Shakin, Shooting Up a Next Man and his Crew, and general BEEF between numerous shit heads.

i thought i was the only one who liked dead prez...

right on:thumbsup:

and yes todays rap is fucking crap without the damn C

im sorry, but bone thugs n harmony have no lyrical content, theyre rhymes are simple and their lyrics arent deep, they just have weird voices which i guess people like, but in my opinion bone thugs bone suck, and to the person who said underground rap is good: in my original post i did mention i listen to underground rap, in fact its what inspired me to write this, i love underground rap, in my opinion underground rap is the most genious music out there, my favorite artists are aesop rock(genius), atmosphere, mf doom, del the funky homosapien(crazy), and some others, my fav underground song right now is prob off the wutang "think differently music" its a collab with aesop and del, called "preservation"

yeah.. no talent here!!!

WTF..

(bone thugs- if i could teach the world) verse 1
How many mo days on this old earth can you
see It's a crime to me
So we should get ready for armageddon Cause I know God should be ready to roll
And do away with all of the wicked shit like Mr. Police-man
And dog if you with it then pump ya fist in tha air
And pray for the politicians freely; get a amen?The last days
of the last days
