This is why rap is dogshit now. Someone comes out with a song that gets a lot of radio play, which usually sucks anyways, and the imitators get in line to "remix" it. Ohhh shit, Konvict remixed it, and oh hey there's a Spanish remix, and don't forget, JD has to freestyle it, just so he can keep his name out there. I blame this on Diddy. He started this whole phenomenom, and it was cool for a while, until the price of computers dropped and the performance of computers rose. Now anyone can easily produce a song (see Soulja Boy) or edit an existing one.

Don't even get me started about T-Pain. Sure, I like "I'm On A Boat." But they could have replaced him with Akon, Sisqo, or even that guy from Will Smith's "Candy" and it would have been the same or even beter. He's made a living off of making songs that are turned right into ringtones for retarded junior high schoolers.

If 2Pac was alive today, he'd rip all of these clowns new assholes. Biggie must be spinning in his XXXL grave. Seriously, the only half decent rappers on that entire list are Freeway, N.O.R.E. and Busta, and the latter sucks ever since he cut his dreads. And to the inevitable "what about Lil' Wayne, he's sooo good" comments... I can dedicate an entire day's worth of posts to why he's a bum. You'll have your day in court.

This is why I've pretty much stopped listening to rap. It used to mean something. Now it's dead.

And Jamie Foxx... dude, pick a profession. You're not Will Smith.
