Not another 'state of hip-hop today' thread

I agree with Jester in some respects. I got just as tired out of "bitches and hoes" stuff as the next guy or gal around here, but in my opinion it's all about the way they deliver that package.

What I dislike is the guys who boast- for example, about how much money they have: "I've got so much money I make it rain. When times is tough I get the quarters out and make it hail. When I got some nose candy I 'hit the slopes' and make it snow". Yawwwwwn;

However, drugs, guns, and women can be very interesting topics. A former dealer sharing a story about himself on the streets slinging rocks can be interesting. A guy having an encounter with a trick can be interesting. Atomsphere "Always Coming Back Home To You" at one point focuses on Slug being handed a gun from some guy, and not knowing what to do with it. Stories- I like story time.

Although, I have a tendency to tune out lyrics lately... I can like a song for a month before I ever really pay attention to what it's about. Goes to show that for some people rhyme, word play, production, and beat are just as important as content.
