That just might be one of the realest interviews I ever heard. Ive often wondered what rap would be like if Pac and Big were still alive, and Im quite convinced that it probably wouldnt be much different than it is now. Big & Pac would “fall off” just like many haters claim Jay and Nas have. The Christ-like esteem niggaz seem to hold them in is, primarily, attributed to the fact that they died in their prime…or should I say, before niggaz could grow tired of them. If Christopher Wallace was still alive there would be no Biggie movie, or incessant shout outs…he probably be regarded by many as yet another “washed up”, 30 something east coast rapper.
As “hip-hop heads”, “bloggers”, or whateva the fuck else they’re calling us now, we’re, by nature, a very critical bunch, but lets not be so critical that we neglect to appreciate the greats while they’re still with us.
LETS BUY THEIR MUSIC AND SUPPORT THEM
Scarface, Q-tip, Nas, Bun-B, The Roots, Common (finding forever), and too many more to name here, have dropped CLASSIC joints without much buzz or fanfare. It disgusted me how many people shouted out RIP Pimp C, but how few took the time to purchase AND appreciate his work…THIS IS WHY HIP-HOP IS “DEAD”, its not because of Soulja Boy, or any other bullshit reason Ignorant/lazy niggaz want to make up….its because we dont support good music, and for whatever reason, we get mad when it stops coming…
