Underground hip hop is all I ever listened to, except wu-tang and a couple others. I was really into canibus, talib kwali, the lost boys, royce 5 9 and a bunch of others I can't remember. Underground is the only real shit. Mainstream hip hop is so overproduced, seems so mass manufactured.

they way I see it, is Hip hop is an ART, an expression of self.... while mainstream rap is merely a PRODUCT constituting an ass-shaking friendly beat with some groomed people paid to look, act and perform a certain way. Big difference between the two.

but those lyrics are weak. it is vague babbling... it is nothing more than nondescript emotions about some traumatic event that isnt specified.
IOW, the fundamentals of writing emo.
"i feel like _________ because you __________ and now I cant _________ its tearing me apart"
"If anyone bashes this song, they need to take a serious look at themselves and where they stand as a human being, btw"
you obviously didn't see that part. Those lyrics are weak?......I smell projections of your feelings onto the song
actually, the smell wreaks
Come now.
That song is trite and poorly executed. This is a reflection of my taste, not an indicator of "my standing as a human being".
exactly, just cause we dont like the same things that you like hooper, doesnt mean we have to take a stand back and see how we stand as a human beings. maybe you need to do that, since you seem to know everything about what people should like, god forbid they dont like what you do.
oh the drama.
you may find beauty in that song, but i didnt and it didnt sound very deep enough to make me question my life if i dont like it. while anyones struggle to show the beauty in life and how to get past the hard times is a beautiful thing, he fell short of getting the point across besides the obvious, he may as well have just said "life sucks but you get over it" and maybe have like a drumroll after that.
but thank you for your post, it was a great reminder to me that people sometimes get too full of themselves.

your welcome, and i shamelessly admit that I do, infact sometimes get too full of myself. That is something I need to work on, but really, who doesn't? besides those living completely in the Tao way of life
I did overdo it with the "need to look at where you're at as a human being if you don't like this song" jive... My mistake
