Take 2Pac for instance- on one song- fuckin bitches and killin snitches, the next- singing praises to his moms.<BR/><BR/>Point being, one day Jay could be talkin about things that affect his rich and famous brethern and the next day flippin the script and talking to something else. Seems to me thats a steady pattern both in music and in life for these cats. Just as they spit rhymes reflecting the mindstate they're in at the time I feel like they speak on shit in public in the same manner.<BR/><BR/>I guess what im saying is that regardless of his contradictions (and the often contradictory messages rappers send out in general), I think the fact that they say anything at all about important issues is a good thing. Theyre celebrity has a big impact on a lot of young kids who hold them up as gods, and whats important to Jay is important to them. So, maybe im being naive, but shit if even a few of them act on the important shit, it makes a difference i think. <BR/><BR/>My two cents..avinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02461485891260640530noreply@blogger.com
