I was just watching the first BEEF DVD, and have been thinking about the “Golden Years” of Hip-Hop, when Hip-Hop was in its baby stages.  When rappers like KRS-One, Kool Moe Dee, Big Daddy Kane, LL Cool J, Kool G Rap, and MC Shan were running Hip-Hop.  When we compare those days to these days, it’s crazy how much more competitive the rap game was back then compared to now.

Record executives and A&R people have a lot to do with how diluted the Hip Hop game has become!  Listen to the B.S. on the radio nowadays.  Hip Hop used to be deep.  Now it’s just a bunch of “wannabe” thugs on the radio making songs about dance moves.  Dance Moves?  Since when was it gangster to do the Macarena?? 

Some of you new Hip Hop artists need to get your mind right, and realize that the only rappers who are going platinum these days are the one’s who are respected inside the game and out!
