Looking back on it, I appreciate it more. The crazy thing is, one of the racist 'Record Label' people looks like Josh Hawley, and the school shooter is a spitting image of what you'd expect a Patriot Front guy to look like.

Macklemore actually said pretty much the same shit and attributed the influence to Eminem.

Said something like "because I'm white my lyrics are acceptable to white suburban moms and their kids. If I was black with the same lyrics they wouldn't be having it"

Funny thing is, I don't even know. My friends have been pretty up on some of his more recent stuff like Godzilla and GNAT. I still have a big like for Without Me.

In general with rap, obviously Gangsta's Paradise is amazing. And some other old school stuff like Run DMC's It's Tricky and Jump by Kris Kross. I also like some Ja Rule and Nelly. There's lots of good stuff out there.

Oh for sure. They are the moral rappers.

True. All this stuff only got more realistic.

NOW its a tragedy, NOW its so sad to see

The critical lens he was viewing the US through like two decades ago is really astounding in retrospect.

If we're starting down the hip hop and R&B track, you can't go wrong with Bone Thugs-n-Harmony.

No, that's a terrible place to start, imo. I'm a huge hip-hop head, and even I have a hard time understanding them.

No, I get that. But it seems to me that TC is looking for word play, bars, and a message, not something to chill and nod your head to.

For example, let's take some of the bars I'm talking about in those songs -

1: Killer Mike - Reagan

The end of the Reagan Era, I'm like Eleven, twelve, or
Old enough to understand that shit'd changed forever
They declared a war on drugs, lack a war on terror
But what it really did was let the police terrorize whoever
But mostly black boys, but they would call us "[Blank]"
And lay us on our belly, while they fingers on they triggers

2: Kanye West - Jesus Walks

I ain't here to argue about His facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just tryna say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis, that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single, dawg, radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, videotape
But if I talk about God my record won't get played, huh?

The line in white america that I will always know off the top of my head, and is one of the most badass lines in any song ever

Fuck you miss Cheney
fuck you tipper gore
fuck you with the freedom of speech this divided states of embarrassment will allow me to have

so badass

Ahead of its time? No, it was very much part of its time, you just weren't paying attention.
