>my thing is:
>-first of all, how do you know they haven't??

- because we havent heard them.

>these artists do a lot of mixtapez and shit..
>a lot of their shit is underground..

- man this is the age of the internet. when mos def called out lil john and his SAM-BO's that shit was on every hip hop message board on the net. imagine what an entire song would do...

>-second of all, why should they??
>why waste time and energy sayin that rappers are bullshit for
>braggin about material possessionz or that eminem is a racist
>cracker?? got more important shit to teach...

- because its like this: what sense does it make to be anti-this and that, when you've got million dollar multiplatinum niggas promoting and rapping against what YOU are preaching. how can you be against drugs in the community and crack and its affects on our people, when young jeezy is sitting over there pushing more units than you, getting more love from the streets than you, all the while rapping about pushing mad weight being the "SNOWMAN" because he got so much white. surely you can differentiate between somebody BOASTING and bragging and loving the lifestyle as oppose to somebody rapping about the harsh realities of it dont you?
