You kids are for the most part morons when it comes to distinguishing music from crap, so I have taken the responsibility to break it down for you. If it doesn't apply to you and you have what I like to call "common sense" please help out the slower students.
Lesson for today: "Hip- Hop" and "Not Hip-Hop"
1. Common is Hip Hop
2. Mike Jones is not
3. Nas is hip hop
4. Anybody wih "lil" in their name is not (ex. lil webbie)
5. Jay-Z is hip hop
6. Gucci Mane isn't even close...
7. De La Soul and A tribe Called Quest are examples of hip hop groups
8. G Unit and Tru are not examples of hip hop groups....
I could do this for a while but you should see where I'm going with this. I'm not hating on any of the aforementioned rapper(s) as I can't be mad at them for taking advantage of their opportunity, thats the american way. But for your own saftey, know what is hip hop and what is not.
