I think real stems from the fact that hip hop music in general used to mean something, it had some intelligence in it, poeticism, or likewise it carried a message, it was multi faceted, there was a sense of an identity of what it was. Now in this present day and age, it has become extremely diluted, extremely formulaic, intelligence seems to be something of a taboo and it's just on the whole, deeply dumbed down, garbage about money, jewellery, excess violence and women. Now i have nothing against using whichever subject people want to use, but there is a huge chasm where creativity should lie.
I never said it was mainstream, I simply said that it used to have more variety and consequently there was more depth, there was a competitive edge to it, each rapper was trying to out rap the other, as well as the party music but that has now taken a back seat and you can hear it as you take the back catalogues of said artist, it's usually a very quick spiral downwards in terms of lyricism.
i swear i hear this shit alot on forums and i find the shit funny alot of times, it's like the definition most give is when they like a song it's REAL!!!! what makes a joe budden or a talib more real then a 50 cent and z-ro? please can someone explain this yell
