"Cleaning out my Closet" how many people go in as deep as this? Not many could talk about a thing like that happening to them.

'Get Back Up' and 'No Matter What' are beautiful rap songs.

I think the artists highlighted in the OP's post are the reason rap and hip-hop are pretty much dead because they made the genre too commercial.

I started listening to rap in the mid-eighties, Schoolly D, EPMD, Eric B and Rakim, Leaders of the New School, A Tribe Called Quest, Ice Cube, De La Soul, BDP, that was the great era for me, I stopped listening to it after The Wu Tang Clan's disappointing second solo albums.
