It has nothing to do with being hypocritical. He is not a real gangster and a lot of gangster rappers are former criminals bragging about their crimes. Loads of RnB artist dress up like gangsters and talk a lot of crap it is called being entertaining it is a lot different when you really have a criminal past and maybe still committing crimes.



Some of you need to ligthen up



Pot - kettle - black

No this b.s. about the importance of rap as a musical genre ( or important to P's music )is a little over the top and silly.




I meant the 'lighten up' bit wink

I know Prince dabbled with Hip-Hop/Rap in the late eighties and early nineties with his band,

the NPG. Prince's song "Bob George" is kinda like Hip-Hop cause he is talking over a beat. I

don't think he was as bad as Tony M. and had he stuck with it could have been better than him.

Then I thought about the singer/rapper, Drake who is the hottest young artist out in the game

now. I don't really care for him because IMO he sounds too much like Lil Wayne, his mentor.

You think Prince could out sing/rap Drake? smile lol razz wink

I don't think to highly of Drake as a 'rapper' in the first place. Now if you were to say Chuck D, KRS1 or Rakim then that would be saying something. P should stick with the 'spoken word' style that he does if he's gonna rhyme.

Peace ... & Stay Funky ...
