quest said that black thought's possible topics are limited because he doesn't talk about drugs, money or murder. and that's untrue. look at common. or mos def. or public enemy. or the countless rappers who talk about everything under the sun except for those topics.

you can like who you like, son.

i'm just saying that the "there's nothing to talk about" reasoning is faulty.


"clearly you are a fucking idiot. don't come up on this website and name some kool dj herc character, and think your punk ass is some hard core head. i'm sorry, does dj herc have an album, website or single? or is he just one of your boys who makes bootleg copies out of his garage? dilated peoples may not be the strongest mc's ever, but guess what? people have heard of them, much unlike your good friend kool jerk, or whatever the hell his name is." -- okayplayer's resident hiphop historian sistasoul
