Im the Hiphopopotamus, my lyrics are bottomless..... Im also the rhymnocerous

Reading Tricia Rose, I sort of let my bias get the best of me. My idea of hip-hop can be validated by her: Hip hop is not dead, but it is gravely ill. When I think of hip-hop, I think of Grandmaster Flash, Run DMC, and for a recent musician, I think of Atmosphere. I believe the hip-hop genre has taken a nose dive in society for a few reasons. The one I care about? They sing (for the most part, of course there are exceptions) of NOTHING!!!!!!!! I really don't care how big that ho's ass is, nor do I concern myself with how much bling you got, or how crunk you are. What I care about is songs like "White Lines" talking of how bad the addiction to cocaine is and telling his fans outright in the song, "don't do it, baby." Now we have to listen to less hard hitting lyrics, telling of REAL struggle. We have, as Tricia Rose referenced, T-Pain, with his song "Low." "She had them applebottom jeans, boots with the fur, the whole club was lookin at her. She hit the flo', next thing you know shawty got low, low, low, low, low." ANYONE ELSE FEEL THEIR IQ DROP? Give me some lyrics that make a difference, give me lyrics that distiguishes this generation's hip-hop as more than just songs about sex, riches, and drugs. Let's make a ruckus with social and political commentary and for the love of god, someone get flava flav off the tv! Anyone else remember when his clock around his neck meant time is running out for the white man, not you can stay in the reality show? I hope at least Bryan does....
