Few are cold in the game of rap
I'm starting to see the audacity
Those who don't deserve a clap
Put together in the CEO factory
Triple Ice, Cube and T are more than nice
Now we have one whose name is Spice
Another planted fraud
Lyricism now doesn't win any award
People really listen to this shit of their own accord?
More like Vanilla Spice
Looking like an Annie reboot
Record companies don't ask
They just shoot

just sad,
from MC Lyte, Lisa 'left eye', Da Brat, Missy, Eve, Nikki
... to this
and just as depressing on male side
Nas, was right
'Hip Hop is DEAD!
Completely agree, it's all about dumbing down the masses. All the giant record companies bought the independent ones like Rawkus etc. and the giant labels have ties to the Government. Not sure if you've read my Secret Hip-Hop meeting poem, which talks about the meeting the prison owners had with the record industry?
no but i'll look it up today, and yes I agree
it's a top-down issue, not a lack of talent issue
people want to factory belt, produce
anything with mass appeal
yet, that thing's - appeal
originated in it's independent spirit
and championing of uniqueness
... 'dumbing down', indeed
'hip hop', now
just another flavour of 'pop'

Important topic to tackle dear poet-I’m still optimistic about this genre and it’s evolution-There are still amazing hip hop artists with more outlets now-
I agree, it is just sad to see toxic rappers getting praised while the real lyricists who don't sellout are forced to stay underground.
True-And worse is the cultural appropriation-thank you for writing about this on your poetry
