    Its true though. Everybody falls off. Nobody can be on top forever.

    jay-z
    eminem
    kanye


    have all proven to be able to dominate for at least a decade ...... pac and big were barley five years in on the mainstream level.... unless they both started doing coke or something highly ignorant in that light ... i dont see the basis to make that statement for these two individuals in particular ....especially considering pacs hollywood appeal


    em and jigga fell off imo
    never really listened to kanye like that but he got better over time imo

    Yeah musically ? can get real subjective but as far as relevance they have stayed on the radar as much if not more than ever and that was my point ....

    hiphop culture is birthed out of (the grander) american culture in which women have historically been treated unequal so to speak.. so .... when you see certain themes or parallels between the two ...it should be of no surprise.....



    they had a couple of other points that were like this .... you know just representations of the grander american culture ... i think one was about how violent rap music is (american culture issue) and the other was about drug abuse ( another american culture) issue.... people forget that tho

    Alright.

    It was intentional to give you "feeling" btw.

    Lol I forgot that signature is still up. But umm...you heard anything about their upcoming album for next year?

    Nope, I gave up on that. They were suppose to come out with an album called Black Star Galactica. That was about ten years ago.

    Could the result of Rawkus owning their name...could be wrong.

    I guess we have to wait until prisoner of conscious comes out in February featuring Mos Def.

    the video thing is true for all music genres, let's be honest. For many big artists, their fans opine over the fact that they didn't release a video for certain songs. I've done it myself. I never realized that it didn't matter until reading that article.

    also, this guy:

    It looks like a poser who doesn't understand hip hop or black culture wrote this article.
