Hands up?Everyone cam correct. It's dope. when bishop does this, you call him a hater, but you like this songThere's a difference when around 30 to 45% if not more of Bishop's content is constantly hating on modern hip-hop and when one song from a group of artist is. I'm a fan of Bishop Lamont and am glad to see him move away from talking about hip-hop as much.

Bishop Lamont is all about Hip-Hop, he is hop-hop i.e. The Reformation, he like many others are trying to bring it back, restore it in a sense to it's origins to take it to the next level that it SHOULD be at. Bishop's raps to me are like the modern equivalent of what it really was like when hip-hop had a REAL & POWERFUL influence on the people that changed things, positively, that would have a lasting, meaningful impact that inspired people to grow & create. now it's all about doing drugs w/ Soulja Boy, kickin it wit stanky-assed chicken-heads, wearing wack clothes & tight pants, pining about riches, cars & bitches... i mean come on, Bishop is too real for bastards like Interscope to push, same w/ Hittman, say what you will but... the slightest form of 'conscious-rap' or ANYTHING w/ remotely above-average intelligence in rap/hip-hop, the less likely it'll be that ANY corporate/mainstream giant is gonna wanna put MONEY behind you, to fucc wit you, to put you on... fuck a Industry mentality, dogg! troof, somebody had to say it, already!
Bishop's criticism of hip-hop works best on a song like Grow Up (which has a message) or Translator (which in itself isn't about anything but a plea to listen to the lyrics but there's nothing of substance in this particular track except a plea) but beyond that it's mostly him being a hater which for the most part I still enjoy but find tiresome when he continues with the same complaints. Besides I think it's all a stupid ploy. Bishop appears to be a hypocrite with tracks like Everyday In The Streets or Feel On It. How are these any different then the hip-hop he likes to criticize?I don't find it annoying from another artist(s) due to the fact they're not constantly reflecting on hip-hop.
you're right, he does shoot himself in the foot, i'm just saying that i think that the concept of this eminem song isn't executed better than the bishop songs.

I never brought up Bishop Lamont. I never said it was any better or worse than songs he's created. I simply said I liked this song and everyone came correct.
