It pains me to see how people use rap and hiphop to solely rise the charts to earn money. They totally disregard the fact of using rap to reform society and tell the hardships living in poverty like most in the 90's. I personally think Lupe Fiasco is too underated. The guys a lyrical genius with nice flow! He also doesn't rap about sex, drugs, violence or money. Check out his song "Kick, Push" He excellently uses skateboarding as an analogy for the hardships of fitting in.
I also listen to old school rappers from the '90's like Run D.m.c. or Tribe called Quest.
Soulja Boy is just a phase, half the globe hates his music. Before you know it he'll be back on the streets, making a living, selling crack.
