word... whenever I hear any I hear any new Hip-Hop or rap songs all I ever I hear is:

CLAIM*I got ice around my neck, bitches in the livin' room, and a shit ton a weed in my trunk"*CLAIM

I love the the O.G.'s They sung about real life problems, told stories, and kept us interested.

If thats the problem with you about rap, then maybe you just should listen to better rap

surely lupe would be the obvious choice of intelligent/intersting rappers to be on your list?

Of course, I was just trying to think of a few really quickly, but I accidentally skipped Lupe.  Common is pretty good as well.

T.I. does a shit ton of claiming.

I just don't see how a famous celebrity rapper can hustle coke without any scrutiny.

And he says he's making 6 figures, which is believable.  But 6 figures doesn't sound like much for smuggling coke into the states AND being a top 40 rapper.  He's getting jipped by someone.
