I agree with you to a point but this shit is just not realistic. I mean Talib and Common got kids to feed so how can you really hate on them for "doing shit to pay the bills" I personally cant stand Diddys music and dont think he is representing hip hop but you know what, if Talib or Common can use him to spread their message then it may not be such a horrible thing. Like I said they got Kids to feed and I cant hate on them if they did Gostwrite. As far as boycotting the boards and the artists that is some bullshit. All I hop is that Diddy gets exposed and put on blast for all the TRL / 106 & Park headz who still think he writes his own shit. On a final note, some people forget that for someone like Talib who has NEVER gone Gold or Platinum this is his life not some fantasy hip hop land that publicists and media create.. Cash may not Rule Everything Around Me (or him) but it pays the bills.
