Chief Rocka - Open Mic / THE EDUCUTAED RAPPER!!!!

« on: March 03, 2011, 03:55:03 PM »

Is there really such a thing as a "schooled" rapper? An educated rapper? Does the fact that one has walked the aisle of acadamia imply that that person is less street or is that their minds have indeed broadened to beyond the ghettos and to the boardrooms? Some people like the the likes of Puff, who got made game, get playa hated and labeled as sell outs of the game. Does the college grauduate have enuff street cred and swag to pull it off as a true hood rapper *No Will Smith typos* up in the 'Burbs. *Does one's academic backround put them a step ahead in the game or take them back? Is it worth it or is baggage *like a back up singer all stretched out?*

What do y'all think? Are we readyy for a Puff Daddy/Jigga reincarnation with an MBA or a Doctrate? Is it time for that kind of revolution in rap or id it still too fragile *and grown as far as it can go for now*?

Holla!!!

Battle One on One / The Rise of Female Mc's

« on: February 24, 2011, 12:54:18 PM »

Are we really ready for the reveal of a female MC into mainstream? Is a girl like Mo Cheddar really ready to be given a run for her money? At the last MAMA awards Mo Cheddar got slaughtered, on her own track, by Thembi Seete who's a Sputh African and not really an astude rapper. Thembi raps from memory of her yesteryears in Boom Shaka along with the late Lebo Mathosa. Is it actually possible that the next biggest female MC in African soil could be born in South Africa?

Holla @ me with y'alls opinions1 Let it all hang!
