"i whole-heartedly disagree with the idea that non-thugs and non-ballers should be excused from talking about more than rocking mics."
why should an emcee be obligated to rhyme abouit anything. if thought wants to rat-a-tat-chat about the same old thing then so be it. that's his thing. that's his style. that's his personality. in fact, that's what i think makes him such a great emcee. does he ever get boring? no. it's the same thing but he comes through strong every time.
i'll ask this; who's the smarter person? the one who knows a little about everything or the one who knows a shit load about one thing?
why can't the one who knows a lot about one thing be just as smart as the other?
why can't black thought be just as good (i think better) than com?
(strange analogy but that's all i can think of right now)
