Once again excellent questions posed to the once famous and prolific. However if there ever was a monstrous Wu comeback, I’d put my money on Rae. All praise to the purple tape
Hey i just wanted to state.
I dont think Raekwon’s raps is for everyone.
You gotta really really have an ear for it.
Personally I dont think 90% cats even understand most of his rhymes.
Like when says ‘Kids that rich’, or ”Feds latch on us, we catch amnesia’…
These are real heavy lines.
I’ve heard the mixtapes, Vatican the underground academy and I’ve got to say, I can’t listen to no more. I don’t want to align my thoughts along with that cocaine rap. Shit is too real. I mean these aren’t fake stories, cause when your really listening, its strikes an emotion, a memory, a recollection and this is not the Energy I want to align myself to.
Raekwon is real rap cat, evidently, and a business man.
I get the feeling Rae is going to back to the coke slingin raps cause he feels thats where the sales is at, thats where the fans will show appreciation for his skills, like they did on Cuban Links.
But i pose a question.
How much of his fanbase are Coke Dealers?
How many ‘paying customers’ are actually gonna understand this?
Lets face it, the target audience is the younger generation.
13 year kids arnet making 100g’s a week! How are they supposed to relate.
I mean Rae’s got talent, real talent when it comes to wordplay.
And he also got real experience in the rap game, so he knows what it’s about. But in a world screaming for revolution, screaming for change, why does Rae need to play the role of the devil. Cause he is. These cocaine raps aint on the side of righteousness. It’s dealing with hell and why does he want to take it there again.
Fact of the matter is, you cant be flipping burgs forever.
At some point One’s gotta take some responsibility for their own thought patterns and let evolution take its natural course.
Rae’s lines is still the flyest in the rap game, like ‘this is my yacht, stay the fuck off’ and every man deserves to make an earn.
But my mind is not driven by entertainment.
Peace to Rae, It hurts me to keep seeing cats still don’t overstand what time it is. Club songs can’t continue to rule the game it’s not all about the fun and games, it’s about the struggles of life. Hance ” Hurricane Kattrina” we need to be reminded of why we started hip-hop,not to forget where we started. Don’t get it twisted either we need to have fun as well but don’t get blind sighted to the point were we are fighting for the samethings. I believe rae knows exactly what is needed, shit we so damn selfish that we feel if it ain’t obfcl it ain’t rae! So shine some light on us GOD. PEACE!!
