a hot beat with a catchy hook is all thats needed today... most emcees are basic rappers now. "u sit at home with a pen and a pad, goin dad, mad, glad, bad." KRS ONE. sad.

its the public. plus radio, plus the record companies fault. we let sex appeal influence us... we allow the radio to play 10 songs a day... all these big companies are payin the DJs to play their Artists' records... its not hard to shut it down... but there is no U.N.I.T.Y. when i go to the open mics in NYC, i see alot of original songs, from alot of Emcees... lyrically skilled on the mic... but thats not goin on over the airwaves... what u hear now is laffy taffy songs, and other silly, dumbed down songs. the kids eat it up bcuz thats all they hear... i remember when songs and lyrics were very diverse and u had to be very good on tha mic. as the years went on, u could pretty much tell what era a person grew up in. Melle Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Run DMC... certain styles would sound old in '88,when u had Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, even Grand Daddy IU. now, anybody that thinks they can rhyme, will make a record. as long as the beat is hot, and the hook is hot. u got something there. we dont have many Emcees anymore. there's only alot of rappers.
