>Why is "Clones" one of the realest <BR>>hip-hop songs and what constitutes "real" <BR>>hip-hop? <P>You had to ask? Try this, start the song at the beginning off low, turn it up a little bit more after each keyboard(?) sequence and by the time you get to ?uests bringing in Mars verse have it blasting. you will see how hot this song is. Plus the lyrical content is just on another planet. When you first heard dywm, did you expect to hear about moms smokin up product on the next album? Thats REAL.<P>Real hip hop- when u wanna blow, and make an album with top notch original production n lyrics on some im hungry shit. you dont stress it if you dont go platinum, and you DONT compromise your art so that the mainstream masses can hear it. thats just my definition though.<BR>
