Hip-Hop will never be as creative and intelligent as it was in the 90s.

To quote a Nas song....we gotta destroy and rebuild it. Maybe it will have to get so bad for people to realize we need to step shit up. Like Soulja Boy remaiking "Juice"...how the fuck is Soulja Boy gonna play 2Pac's role? Maybe that will make people finally see that shit is getting out of hand.

There are a few MC's that I can alway rely on to bring it real.. Nas, Method Man, Xzibit .. thats about it.

Kam is one of the realest emcees on the westcoast- point blank!

We need more self respecting, critical thinking folks to represent in hiphop instead of all these soul selling assembly line rappers/hustlers/hos spreading dumbassification all across the Nation via mass musical communication!

@ISeenACar87 Very well said and good for you, that you have done your hip hop homework. I was fortunate to see that and live, being born in 1979. I remember those albums like yesterday. It's sad to say that this might not ever happen again. The younger generation have no clue how powerful hip hop used to be.

F.O.I

[ISeenACar87]

I'm not of any particular religion, but what was said at the end is what needs to be reached.

The power of music needs to be shown, we need to show what and can do for the culture, and the society. Like he was pointing out about people born after '85, and myself being born in '87 can see this. I did my homework, and i was raised in and guided by hip hop culture. My generations and the younger ones weren't fortunate to experience this power, so we don't think it can be done.

yo i love these snippets on the various speakers and interviews...i have just one critique...take out the music when they are speaking...the background music is annoying when they speak.

i wouldnt get on her and fabricated a lie criticizing the brother, i respect him like any other individual but i choose to follow The Honorable ElijahMuhammad and he chose Farrakhan, heres the facts he chose to disrespect me and claim i didnt know anyrhing but when i go to ask him a question(picking his brain) his response is minute, you dont know you dont know PERIOD, but Kam has that ego...something that evolves into arrogance. go ahead and give me a thumb down cuz i really dont give a damn
