Rap used to be a Blue Collar type industry. Rappers werent living the Rockstar lives. They were struggling financially. The Drug Dealers were the hood starz. You worked hard for a few years developing your craft, then you hit the pavement and paid your dues. Today we have people rapping for the fame, money women etc....I hear rappers talking about I write my stuff on the spot. A real lyrical assassin takes a few days to cook up that shrapnel. You think Immortal Technique is writing his raps in the studio. That may work for party tracks but that's about it. Koch is relevant today because they are trying to fill this niche-real mc's.
