Spalding what a fuckin joke… Pratt talkin like he got shit wit basketball leather. He anit in the NBA… He anit the owner of the company… he’s just another broke no name who’s tryin to make his way to the top, by feedin off the biggest name. One envious… ignorant dude who’s talkin about cocaine and pills… sayin that only “stripper bitches” do that shit. But if homie was up to date on our local news he would know that about 35 million americans do cocaine and the use of prescription pills as a drug has increased by 65% (and dumb little mikey… poppin pills is like a culture in the south). These drugs are in the homes of every every person: white. black. rich. poor… shit cocaine is also named the rich man’s drug of choice… so this nigga needs to stop talkin, he’s makin himself sound real stupid!

Yeah weezy didnt start the mixtape game but he def. brought major attention to it, before him nobody really bought mixtapes let alone Cd’s… everything was gettin bootlegged and still is. But Weezy opened the door for the entire mixtape community and created the interest to emerge on the streets and in the homes of the poeople. The Listeners. The Fans.

Weezy isnt only a rapper… he’s an entertainer. He’s able to draw people in, he reminds me of the greats(Dj Cool Herc, lovebug starski, grandmasterflash, etc). Hip hop when it first came out was about pleasing the crowd, the way you made poeple move and the way the art you affected poeple’s emotions. The Sugar Hill Gang didnt have crazy methapohrs or lyrical meaning/emphisis but still drew the crowd in and this is what Weezy does… but with methaphors and concepts; he’s a new breed. The Future of Rap.
