bill, what you don't understand is that bragging in hip hop is the equivalent of miles davis or john coltrane "bragging" by blowing another band off the stage. people also need to understand that rappers who floss are aiming those jabs at each other, usually not at the music buyers.
whatever. I think the bragging aspect of rap is pathetic: no, you're not the greatest of all time, shut the fuck up. but nelly's right, if you don't like that shit,, don't buy the record.
If you have to flaunt your financial success, you're either very insecure or not particularly intelligent. That's really all there is to it. I keep my money in the bank where it belongs.
the core of the issue is obvious, most rappers don't consider themselves artists, they consider themselves gangsters or businessmen. they want that money, not much else
@cdphatty alot of punks didnt consider themselves musicians either.they were pissed and vented it through somethin they related to.most couldnt even play.thats the beauty of it.old rap came from the streets as punk did.it needs to go back to the streetssame as rock does nowadays
I'm so glad Nelly mentioned Common. There are many rappers like him who don't rap about what the mainstream media "hip-hop haters" like to complain about. They're scared of that real $#!+! They don't understand it, don't want to hear it, and so they're definitely not buying it as much as they are buying so-called bragadocious rap. In hindsight, the people who buy that secretly wish they could say and live such a lifestyle, and are attracted to such a persona, even if it is only an act.

Every time they talk about rap in talk shows,they always have some ignorant ass people.. you want to have a real conversation about rap/hip hop? call jay-z,common and mos def.
I wish someone (in the future) would say ....other than the panel ....the only thing that will save music nonetheless the music industry...one world ...INTERNET....
Yes I agree people do respect the diamonds and the money and thats whats wrong with the music industry the values went from free love and rebellion to stack of dollar bills and bitches and nothing but hos and sluts man we have lost are way
Bill is right, the majority of rap music is nothing but ego stroking, I am fucking your girl and I blow my money on stupid shit P.S because I am stupid. I think after John Lennon died everything started to go down hill and we are dangerously close to the bottom now.
to put lyrics with substance is being a musician but the whole act of rapping and continuing the whole gimic of a rapper be "hard" and "cool" is pathetic and with the songs full of bousting and attacking, it's hard to have any respect for it. Take the lyrics off and rap/hiphop would be fine to listen to.
Yeah, Religulous sucked. And I think that organized religion is stupid, but Bill was as preachy in that movie. I don't dig him that much either. I liked him in these old shows though.
Definately not a dumb panel - they wouldn't be where they are if they were dumb. They really know how to market themselves. Pink is annoying though , i agree.

Those of you who are saying that this is the dumbest panel ever have obviously never seen the 'Real World Hawaii' cast special.
Look at how pissed Pink looks when Bill says that Sisqo is already 'Mr Big'. She's like 'How could you say that he is more famous than me???'
