ok, sorry, i should be specific. oldschool rap, like tribe called quest, etc, was storytelling. then NWA came in, and when the 80s ended and 90 started, what i was referring to as oldschool, i guess i should have called gangsta. but Biggie, tupac, j, were not storytellers. they rapped about being the shit. they rapped about cappin fuckers and smackin their hos. i'm talking "hail mary, full of grace, i smack the bitch in the face". The first form of rap was nothing like these guys. nowadays, you can't talk about smacking bitches, because it offends the ladies. have you heard one lil wayne or flo rida song about smackin bitches? there might be one, i haven't actually heard much of either, but i doubt it. lupe's, while a mature storyteller poet, would have been called a straight pussy by any 90s rapper, and if you try to say for one second that rap nowadays is anything like it was in the 90s, then you're even more full of shit than i thought
