and I put good in quotes; We may see a bunch of hood lit books being sold on the local Malcolm X blvd but when it comes to black books that SELL (aka Nytimes bestsellers) it ALWAYS an extremely well written book by a talented writer.

NOW we dig deeper they tend to be the same fucking narratives over and over (the immigrant/hood dude adjusting to the new white world!). Basically white readers only like tales of the noble savage rising above his meager beginnings and assimilating, lol. But to say it's not good is 100% wrong, its just played.

And while some of the top rappers have thumbed down their flows, lets not act like previous 'top tier' rappers who broke the mainstream didn't do the same (Biggie-Hypnotize, Snoop Dogg-Who Am I, Tupac-every song he made a video for) etc.

You're basically critiquing big mainstream rappers for being...big mainstream rappers.
