From MTV News

BTW look at his face when you ask him what 2+2 is, his brain is going overdrive right now and might explode.

The ongoing war with ignorance in rap will be a forever fight like the one with the war with Drugs. Sometimes it feels impossible to educate these rappers just like how its impossible to force Fox News to use facts. My friend has a studio in West Oakland and every week I get to witness a wave of so called rappers that just say anything to a beat and say its the realest they ever wrote. Yet they never take the time to get the 5 brain cells in their brain to generate thought in their work. Spending 6 months with these guys, this is what I witnessed:

1. Too many "Yes men": Most so-called rappers have a crew that is basically a bunch of other so-called rappers leeching off each other. Instead of critiquing each other's work and pushing the limits, most of the crew say "Yeah Bra" to anything that they say and hope somehow in the volumns of freestyles and songs that come out, that one of them become that "hit."

2. The belief of a "Major Label" can still save them from the hood: "Name 5 new acts that you listen to from Def Jam" is a question I always ask when these rap acts say they hope to get signed by a Major label.

It's obvious that Labels don't have that much power anymore and I don't want to beat a dead horse. However there are Crap rappers that get signed and make money. But for the actual "Hood Status" rappers that get signed, how many are still around? D4L, Lil' Webbie, Lil' Troy (anything LIl') are acts you never hear from anymore. Labels sign these acts with having "Turnover Rappers." IE how McDonalds creates low entry level jobs that have quick turnaround employment.

3. The lack of understanding of "Entreprenuer." They say they want to rap to create a business and become an entreprenuer. Yet has anyone actually looked at the definition of Entreprenuer?

An entrepreneur is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome. (Notice how I underline and bold the "New")

Being a CEO of a label or a crew that has "Hood," changing the "S" to "Z," sprinkling in Dollar signs, adding a "Inc" to the name (while not understanding you are not a damn corporation with a bunch of cronies hanging with you), and mispelling traditional english words (like from Neighborhood to Nayboorhood..... yes there is a so called "Company with this name) has no orginality, let alone you are competing with other "Hoodz $$$$ Ent Incorporated"

I'm going to let Ill Doctrine to finish this observation:



Just thought I would continue on with the Endless Love.

Cam'ron - I Hate My Job / NEW
Uploaded by PeteRock. - Watch more music videos, in HD!

In the midst of America's recession, Cam'ron rhymes a picture that everyone can relate do whether or not they have been hit by the Economic Turmoil monster with "My Job." While only 2 verses and so-so production, he was able to capture every thought of what we think when we are either: Working a job that we can barely make meet ends with, or finding oneself trying to adjust back into society with a criminal record. Even more out of character for Cam'ron was that he spits the first verse in a woman's perspective. While Cam'ron is probably the last person to be a Woman's Rights activist, he does rhyme with empathy:

Why am I working here? It ain't working here
It ain't worth it here, never gonna persevere
Ain't no money for new shoes or purses here
Should've done my first career (huh) nursing yeah
Now I'm sitting here thinking 'bout the work I put in
This verse from the everyday working woman

Being straightforward with his rhymes its still has the cynical punchlines that makes you laugh but cringe at the same time cause either:

You've gone through it at one point in time, or

You are going through this right now.

Why do i mention this? Cause rap should be this honest more often. Also cause we still have stupid Cuss like this:

Lil' B - Like a Martian

Instead of going through a whole essay rant, Imma do my best impression of my one liner standup comedian:

"Lil' B huh? I bet the "B" stands for Brain cause he used up all the 20 words in his vocab in this song"

HEYOOOO!

"Hey 1998 called, They want you to stop using Lil' as your prefix rap name"

HEYOOOO!

"So you tellin a B*tch she is gonna suck your D#ck but then you are "Now a pretty B*tch, b*tch. So you are rapping about yourself masturbating?"

HEYOOOO!

"Why do you have foil on your bike? Trying to keep your bike from rusting?"

HEYOOO!

"While you were filming on your padio, Your mom just called and said to turn it down"

HEYOOO!

"Some iPhone you got there. But if you are such a baller, can't you fork up some dough for a 3g version?"

HEYOOO!

"Hey bud, I guess you found your way around pushing buttons on that Fruity Loops of yours?"

HEYOOO!

"Obama just saw your video. After seeing that he is cutting the arts in film department for Community colleges"

HEYOOO!

Before and after?
