@gH0stGuard True, it annoys me how people around me disregard all rap/hiphop as Gangsta rap when there are so many rap artists who have something meaningful to say.

[gH0stGuard]

I'm finding myself more and more into hip-hop lately thanks to poets like Sun of Nun and Immortal Technique. Much better than the gangsta shit that comes out of most records anymore. We NEED MORE MESSAGE!
