jay only said that he mad so much money that it was wayne’s turn. that is it. no more. lupe is jay’s favorite rapper.

for the record, read the xxl magazine from a few months back when jays says that wayne has to accumulate classics before that can be mentioned in the same breath.

@dub

the mainstream media owns bet/mtv and radio. therfore, they block out the majority of music that is not drugs, sex, violence. there you have it.

The only thing I hate about these editorials is that they always place the blame on the rappers. The rappers only make the music that sells.

Why is it that fans only support gangsta rap?

With so many rappers making so many different types of rap, why is that only the gangsta/commercial rap ends up on 106andpark and the radio?

I’m not blaming any rappers, I blame fans. This whole business boils down to the money. If you have a problem with rap then stop supporting the bullshit.

Hip hop is still a movement but has come to a stand still due to the lack of unity in hip hop. Right now hip hop can be looked at as a tug of war between gangsta rap/ party and gimmicky music/ skateboard rappers/ and conscious rappers/. Not saying that one is better that the other however it divides hip hop audiences and creates division amongst artists.

Jay-Z didn’t say lil wayne is his heir..he simply said the crowd want him to be… ..but he made that statement for all new coming artist…I suggest you learn how to interpret interviews.

the idea that hip-hop crews are “movements” is way past tense . the very few acts that actually give a damn about the people such as Dead Prez dont get heard by the masses . But , in the same light a guy like Jim Jones can say he’s uplifting the people with his constant songs about the same old bullshit . Rap has become far too political , nobody says what they want . Check the Vibe magazine with Jay-Z on the cover . He said he called Lil Wayne his “hier” just cause everybody else was saying it . If Jay cant speak his mind than who can , better yet WHO WILL ?
