I checked out D Kane. Some strong words!!! A true poet. It's artists like him that are overlooked by main stream, yet offer an honest open eye as to how the wheel turns in society. It's a shame that "commercial" is the only thing that sells. Oh well, more material for true cats like me to enjoy.
The problem with the new school is the values, the priorities. Back in the day, you represented your name and let your skills speak for themselves. Nowadays their status is based upon the rides they roll with, how fat they money clip is, how many girls to get a night and how many peeps they've iced. Alot of it is just show, no street cred. But, unfortunately, the kids that listen to it are far to impressionable and don't see through the smoke. The only reason why these new, so called MCs, are still in the biz. Even some of the original MCs are speaking out about this, and quite a few are disappointed. Can't blame 'em...they took the culture and pimped it to the max, but with wrong intentions.
Now do understand, some new cats are for real and understand the responsibilities that come into play representing the Hip Hop culture and community. Sadly, they are but a few.
For a more eclectic sound of Hip Hop, y'all can check out Common and The Roots and C-lo, to name a few.
