So from this description of what makes a real rapper, we can remove the following people from our lists of real rappers:
Del (actually all of Hiero, cos besides being black and smoking weed, they don’t make the cut)
Eyedea (all of his Rhymesayers folk – Doom, Brother ali, Atmosphere etc.)
Immortal Technique
Murs
Little Brother
Chino XL
The Artifacts
Tonedeff
Tumi
Zubz
Sharpa
A shitload of other people, which I can’t think of now.
In fact, most cats touring the world and making a living of rap for longer than some of us have been breathing aren’t real rappers. Only the cats who have jumped on the bandwagon since the advent of the bling era qualify.
The Crackboys and the people they are clones of are some of the realest rappers in the world then. Forget the fact that these other people have earned hundreds of thousands doing their thing as opposed to the <1000 copies sold by the crack and their 3 gigs this year.
