Some Rappers

[Gilly]

I can understand finding Dre's hyper-materialistic world-scale-actions, like taking advantage of his cultural status to overprice mediocre products, rather distasteful. I will say that he sets a good example culturally for blacks making it legit, although in this day and age "legit" is questionable...

I guess it makes sense that his mechanized elitism would annoy you. that's always a tipping point with people like him and em, where any self-referential action just rusts the sheen... at the end of the day, I can appreciate more homey, down-to-earth types for the reassurance they bring to something as overblown as the rap game, but ultimately it is about the icing lol.

You think em is the real guiding force?
