Everything is so happy or fake, few rappers are really showing there inner feelings, i really think the best music comes from those who are unhappy.Hip hop used to reflect this struggle but i just dont see it now a days.Damn, those are some great lyrics...never had really listened to the words properly on this song...oh and GREAT song too

Thats why I fuck with Joe Budden. Dude gets real personal and deep in his lyrics without the usual 'Im from the hood and it sure wasnt good' crap.
Can somebody give a link to one of the budden tracks because I never knew he was deep like that....
I'll second that KURUPTION. Tupac was the first rap artist I started listening to (I was 12 at the time) and part of the reason why I liked his style so much was because you could tell he was brutally honest in his songs.And yes, in today's rap scene you hardly ever get to hear similar verses.Which makes me wonder again...how would today's rap scene look like if Pac was still here? I know, it's a cliché to bring up, but seriously, if you think about it, I really wonder if all of these pop-tart rappers would've had a carreer."How long will they mourn me?!"
