Yes I do!!! I have the same taste as you man!!!. I listen to Blackalicious, Hi-Tek, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, and many more!!! Those artist right there are the real heartbeats of hip hop. They are keeping it original 100% Not like these fake thugs like Wayne & Jeezy!! All that talk about cocain and smoking and weed. Who cares!!! At the end of the day there music aint shit!!! These "intellectual" rappers talk that real shyt and live up to what they say!!! Yea you really gotta listen to Blackalicious because I swear I have changed alot of bad things in my life I used to do and started doing positive things. I'm sorry if i offended some of yalls lil rappers but oh well. Im ready to start hearing some "real talk" in these so called lyrics. Being a african american I was born and raised in the hood, and listend ot all the gangsta rap 24/7. But when I started testing my waters with these other artist, I started thinking differently in a positive way.

Well I am one that does listen to Lil Wayne, Jeezy, Joc, Kanye, Common, Mos, Public Enemy, etc, etc. What a lot of people don't understand is the whole circle is Hip-Hop. I do get tired of them always talking about selling dope, buying cars, pimping hoes, etc, etc. However, that's their style and some of the shit they say is hella tight. IMO Lil Wayne is a very talented rapper. I mean the boy can spit some shit and put some shit together and you'll sit there and wonder "How in the hell did he come up with that". But the main thing that Hip - Hop is, and we try to say that's its all about the culture, Hip - Hop is about business. Just like Hollywood...I'm gonna put out what sells. Why you think everyone is on the clothing, fragrance, retail, etc shit?? Because its all about money. Remember your "Real Talk" is not the "Real Talk" of all the people from my hood and vice versa so you can't say that what Lil Wayne and Jeezy spits isn't "Real Talk". Why do you think Common's album sales aren't up there like they should be? That's because my Hip Hop heads flock to what they know. I'm black (I hate the term African American....I was born here not in Africa) and I was born and raised in the hood.....I had people around me not make it to their teenage years....but if gangsta rap makes someone thing negative then they need to re evaluate themselves and not the music they are listening too. I think of of the biggest scapegoats in America is the fucking entertainment industry.
