Rappers Are Fucking Stupid



Someone needs to inform rappers that just because they perform in front of people that does not mean they are actually smart or that Behold A Pale Horse is a good read. You are not a goddamn philosopher because you watch old Jackie Chan movies. Sorry Rza but 9 planets and 360 degrees of softness only align to create one thing, a bunch of dumb bullshit. Knowledge of Self is an idea Krs One stole from Stuart Smiley. Getting high and talking about the art of war or how stars align with the water molecules in your penis does not mean you're a fucking genius. All that shit means is that you were able to remember an idea you thought was brilliant when you were high. Maybe some rappers are confused and think the 4 elements make them Chemical Engineers.

Oh and then there are the idiot underground rappers who think they are geniuses because they use words that they only vaguely know the definitions of. Using multi-syllables doesn't make you're IQ go up. Being a political is more than screaming some bullshit about unity and how people need to be motivated. Just because you can rap about how we need to come together does not make you a political activist. Songs that do not really addressing anything, just very general and all about generic unity bullshit as if that meant anything are fucking worthless. Your barely left of center non threatening political beliefs are hardly revolutionary. Fuck, if you're going to take that route have the balls to actually challenge people beliefs. Turning off your TV and drinking green tea does not make you Che Guevara. Motherfuckers need to stop getting all scared of the fucking masons and this bullshit idea that some super computer is controlled by the secret society that the catholic church is going to use to kill your fucking hemp necklace. How about you actually try and make a goddamn difference instead of recording some bullshit about a car that runs on water. The only thing your third eye emits is turd nuggets.

The worst part about this shit is that rappers don't know how stupid they are. Shit stupid people who think they are smart are bad in any situation but what makes rappers worse is that they get fucking press coverage and even get people to agree with their retarded ideas. Rappers get all gassed the fuck up because they got idiot fans to believe in their bullshit ideas. I mean come the fuck on, who is the dickrider who managed to stroke KRS' ego enough that he thought he was perfectly legit for him to speak to the UN??? I'm not saying he can't do that but fuck he needs a better reason than to fucking requesting a national holidays for rap fans to bust some bullshit like that. If you're going to start championing issues for the hiphop community you better get you're fucking shit straight instead of getting Russell Simmons to tag along with you so you can ask world leaders to sign you're worthless petition.

Outside of a handful of people, hiphop's political "leaders" are pretty embarrassing. Fuck probably the only guy left whose ideas I still respect is Chuck D. Some folks have good intentions but then you got dumb motherfuckers discouraging people from even getting off their as to vote because they think robots control everything. Yeah shit is fucked but don't shit on someone for fucking trying to do what they can.

Then there is the whole business aspect of this shit and that's got a whole other kind of stupid. Being naive is one thing but being a fucking dumbass is another. You got broke rappers complaining about getting hated on but yet never load up into a van and just start touring. Fucking dumbass fools like Defari who can't seem to grasp the concept that other people have worked to build their following. I don't give a shit if you don't like Atmosphere but you have to respect what Slug has built. Rhymesayers have worked their ass off to build the following they have so motherfuckers who fucking cry because they can't sell out shows that some fucking "emo rapper" from the Midwest can need to shut the fuck up and get in a fucking van. Stop fucking crying about how you can't make money; go out and get that shit. If you think you got the skills then get the fuck up off your ass and start grinding. Don't sit there whining because people don't give a fuck about your irrelevant ass.

Dumbass rappers just can't see forest beyond their hypemen. Your boys might be stroking your dick but if you're not out there putting in that work you're never going to do anything. Why sit at home smoking blunts and playing Madden with your boys when you could be out promoting your shit. Stupid lazy motherfuckers, look at the shit Sonzala is doing for SXSW. He's putting in more of an effort into the careers of rappers than some of the rappers are. Then you got fucking crybabies complaining because they think SXSW is some weak underground hiphop shit full of heiro shirts. It's that stupid thinking that keeps them at the community center level. Stupid rappers don't realize that SXSW isn't just some fucking festival shit where you perform for 12 year old fans. It's bigger than that and can open some doors for bigger opportunities. It isn't going to make you're career but if you pimp it right it can definitely put you in a better position to move forward. But do rappers realize any of this shit? Not really, some do but there are plenty that don't and just end up in the same bullshit cycle pushing the same bullshit ideas. Whether it's thinking radio is only way to blow or quoting William Cooper's fucked up ideas.

blah whatever though, it's not like anyone listens to me anyways.
