Hip-hop is supposed to uplift and create, to educate people on a larger level and to make a change.
Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around.
Hip-hop don't have no fresh energy, none at all. It's money driven, everybody tryin' to make that cheque, nobody putting art in their albums any more.
