Why do r&b stars continue to rap when they arent good at it? I'm going to do an article on this for the school newspaper. These r&b males, and other usless rappers are really killing hip hop. before VA stand up attacks me, I can't knock his hustle for trying to be multi talented, but rapping isnt for everyone. It really isnt. If we want to get hip hop back to where it used to be, we should NOT sensationalize rapping attempts like this one, and TREY. It just aint right. I think peeps like chris and trey think clever tricker of lyricism, swag, and nasty ass arrogant lyrics are what hip hop is all about. It isnt. I wouldnt be so adament if they actually took the time to rap about something that makes people think and express themselves intelligently. That's what hip hop is all about to me.
