i really have no idea if any of that was directed at me or not but i actually took the time to look at his lyrics and didnt find them to be good. i posted here because in my opinion rap doesnt have any lyricists and the post asked your opinion on the current state of hip hop. i iwish you could be a little more open minded and not accuse people of being closed minded when they dont agree with you. thank youimp:
