Lol....Macy Gray is a beautiful woman (both cute and sexy as hell) but she has no business doing music.
She has no talent for music and has an irritating voice.
I saw her in IdleWild....she'd probably make a good actress if she can rembmer her lines.

Kareem, Again I fail to see your evidence of how the Southern Rappers have soley contributed to the decline of hip-hop/rap

That's because it doesn't.
Hip hop started declining when they moved the focus from the East Coast to the West Coast.
It started becoming criminal and immoral...and was used to encourage Black youth to become criminal and immoral.
That's why NWA and Tupac were hyped up so much.
Now the Southern rappers are being used to turn Black people into STRAIGHT UP savages.
Why would anybody think it's cool to pronouce "that there" as "dat durr"?
It sounds retarded and shiity....
Most human beings know talent when they see and hear it.
A good voice and a good beat is universal and transcends cultural lines.
.....which is why Hiphop was so popular and powerful in the first place.
For Black men to grow their hair out wild, get on the stage and making rough gruffy sounds like animals, bounce and rock and sling thier arms when they rap.....anybody with common sense will automatically see this as apish and primitive and see it as uncouth and inferior.
But that's exactly the direction the industry is trying to steer Black hiphop artists and eventually Black youth in.
There are a lot of good Southern Rappers but they aren't getting a lot of air-time.
They are promoting the WORSE of our people in order to disgrace us....is that so hard to understand?
