Watching the BET Awards and I have realized 2 things - 1) Rap is entertaining but whack; 2) there is a vacancy in real Hip Hop. There were quite a few good up and coming lyricists in the cypher section of the show but the majority of the mainstream rappers were garbage. The cyphers of Rev. Run and Ice Cube drew attention to this point. Their well-trained flows were evidence of where hip hop once was, as well as evidence against rap's pleas that hip hop is it's foundation. I don't really know what else to say. But be on the lookout b/c some of these new guys are beasts. I hope they step up to the plate... SOON!!!
