i don't remember pac talkin about bein in a gang...hip me to that so i can see the interview or listen to the song. i know he always talked about the panthers but that's not a gang. one more thing...it's obvious pac was speakin to and for the people. if he was one of these bullshit rappers nobody would still be talkin about him. kids all over the world wouldn't put his CD in to feel better about their situation or to at least know someone understands. the few rappers these days that will get love 10 and 20 years from now don't get a lot of mainstream love. pac will be relevant 40 years from now just like people talk about MJ and his brothers 40 years ago.

i'd have to look a lil deeper on that one. i won't say he didn't go to school but that doesn't mean he wasn't out doin this and that. not sure which is true (mostly cause i never cared enough to find out) but hell college isn't a 24/7 thing....u can be in class at 1 and be shootin a mufucka by 6. bein middle class doesn't mean u won't get down either. there's a lot of middle class dudes sittin in jail right now thinkin how fucked up it is they'll never be able to get out. look at all the rich people who go to jail for killin a spouse or stealin millions. crime and ur money level aren't always related.

why would u quote lil wayne? he's done more damage to the population than damn near anybody else. i don't condone akon's lies but shit lil wayne kissed another dude on the mouth and it's supposed to be ok. i mean i don't have anything against gay people but hell at least be open about ur gayness. if u kiss a dude and call him daddy u're gay. why give wayne a pass and not akon? i don't listen to either but hell there's no difference...one lies about bein in jail and the other one lies about liking girls.

I guess it's fairly sad that people feel they need to have gone to prison to be cool. Good I suppose that they didn't actually kill anyone or anything though.
Akon was never going to be as awesome as Johnny Cash - that is the sad and honest truth. He was an actual rebel. I hope.

Hate? What did Lil Wayne say about hate? Whatever, it is the opposite of love and thus The Same Thing. So you're better off feeling pity for Akon. He's gonna need it. His fall will (if we're lucky) set off warning bells in the brains of every other fake thug out there. Apart from Weezy, he don't listen to reason. Akon will fall, right? Surely this is dude over and done with? Sorry part 2 anyone?

I've always been very vocal in my hate for Akon. I think he's a clown. From darn near raping 14 year old girls to picking up and throwing people off the stage at his shows, hes just a douche bag. I took a little bit of time out and wrote about Akon today over at Highbrid Nation and I hope that the uncovering of his true past is a message to artists and labels that "keeping it real" doesn't mean making up some stuff.

Seems to, yeah.

Damn, Ice Cube was doing an architecture degree when he was supposed to be popping thangs. I do think of him as more of a Johnny Cash type though.

Nice one Tego, I forgot about that joint! I put it up for the rest of youse to go "phwoar" at..

Tupac was never in a gang and Ice Cube is middle class. There's scope for rappers to be poets or minstrels telling tales that go on around them but if they feign their background, it's sad. But the world, and the media world, thrives on strict colour and class and sexual identities. Doesnt it?

I like the idea that we were supposed to believe any of those stories to begin with. I was just thinking about 'Snitch' the record he did with Obie Trice yesterday. What a banger. Whatever though, Akon should headline Glastonbury, the whites would plotz!
