I cant beleive that this has to be discussed because thats the purpose of hip hop...to relay a message and if one cant interpret the message then one is just slow and is not worthy of even listening to the music. The first caller was a preacher and he cited James Brown as an artist that inspired him...to me he was really one of the first, if not the first to rap over music. I mean he really was emceeing back then. Oh yeah, ole girl said at the end of the interview that there are alot of oppurtunist posing as "real "artist...I definitely agree with that.
