		<description>All right, time to be something close to reasonable.

@those who say the old school artists need to retire, I can only say that about the east and west coast artists. Ice Cube went from NWA to Are We There Yet and the decided that Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It. SRSLY? Ok. And other artists Like Dr. Dre who decided to rely on ghost writers since the stone age of rap, please leave! Ghostwriting is a rap sin in the first place. Next, you have the east coast. Not that they suck, but Big Daddy Kane and Lord Tariq are still making music? It feels kind of like the new generation will never have a chance to flourish. And for God&#039;s sake, if you&#039;re gonna stay in rap beyond 20 years, Don&#039;t get into feuds with other younger artists. The fact that there was an Ice-T/Soulja Boy beef is a big clue that some rappers need to just get out of the game. I hear Fat Joe is taking heat from other bronx rappers, most of them with careers as long as his. If you&#039;re gonna be a butthurt old fart about everything, GTFO. GB2Ghettoblaster. The difference between the south and the rest of the world is our OG rappers teach the next generation the tricks of the trade in detail. Scarface and Bun B have embraced many of southern hiphops newer arrivals. Why can&#039;t the west have that kind of brotherhood?

@The rap sucks people, Shut your asses. It&#039;s better than your Neil Sedaka or your Emo MCR Bullshit or whatever you listen to. Not all rap is the chicken noodle soup radio noob shit. There are label puppet artists in every genre, (See MCR) stop hating on hiphop just because it&#039;s the &quot;cool thing&quot; right now.

@the people who think gucci, joc and plies need to retire, agreed. They&#039;re not part of the solution at all. Also i second the yung berg GTFO initiative. Dude just isn&#039;t that nice. Soulja Boy is not rap, he&#039;s ATL club dance. As long as that stays the same, I can deal with his music. Also on the GTFO list: Gorilla Zoe, Young Dro, shawty lo, All these self-proclaimed NY freestyle kings (too many to list) generic trap rappers (again, too many) lame ass trying to revive the past west coast khaki pants artists (The Game, in this case, it&#039;s attitude and not lyrical ability.)

I think that&#039;s it. Thanks for letting me rant.</description>
