it's like this dog, real true hip hop is always gonna hold it down no matter what cuz when the corperate side of it dies you still gonna have niggas doin it cuz they love doin it. that's just how it is. some people immitate and some inovate. it's just now in days people hear the word hip hop and right away they associate it with bull shit such as bling, whips, money, tats, booty etc. but us niggas who know what it really mean are always gonna hold it down cuz we know that it goes deeper than that. it's like rza said he said cream cash rules everything around me but it doesn't rule me. that's the side of it that many cats don't realize. niggas are just so stuck on that shallow bs that they get so blinded by the ice they can't see straight. cash does rule them. but it's alright cuz while they stay stuck in the same position i keep it movin forward with my third eye wide open.
