Has anyone else noticed the declining class and status of todays hip-hop acts compared to those of even just a decade ago? These guys and gals are legit vagabonds. Despite their supposed millions you can hardly see the difference between them now and the hood-rat low-life's they grew up as. Shit is ridiculous.
I started pondering this the other day when I heard the 5th song in a row on Jamn 94.5 where the "artist" referenced drinking patron. Now don't misunderstand me here, there is nothing wrong with Patron. It is as fine a Tequila as you'll come across and I'm personally a huge fan, but shouldn't these supposedly ultra-rich rappers and divas be flaunting their lettuce with something a bit more expensive. What happened to magnums of Crystal just being popped left and right in these videos. No offense to the Young Money crew or anyone else but I'm not exactly impressed with you sipping on the same brand of tequila that I have stored in my freezer. Again, nothing wrong with it, but it would be like rapping about cruising in a Saab 9000 or Acura TL, fine cars, but not exactly the Phantoms and Murcielagos we expect to hear about.
Where are the Diddy's and Jay-Z's of this generation. Dudes who dressed in clothing even white people could get jealous of, none of this baggy t-shirt and Nike kicks shit that any wannabee gangster 12 year old can rip-off at his local Target. Timbs and a Jean Jacket don't count either. True Moguls, guys that won't be broke in 10 years when there record contract runs out and Mookie, Ray-Ray, and LaTisha have sucked their funds dry.
