Back in '83...

I feel that this post is a good follow up to my little section on SHAWTY LO.

What happened to the good ol' days when rappers had to be FLY to be in the game? Rakim was SEXY! LL Cool J.....I mean...dudes name means "Ladies Love Cool J!" How straightforward was that? I mean girls had legitimate crushes on rappers back in the day. Like if your home girl was like "Oooo yeah girl....I love me some Silk the Shocker!" you're response was probably "Yesss...Silk is FINE, he was lookin' especially good in that Mya video!" Now I hear foolishness like "Ooo girl I love me some Lil' Wayne, he is so fine!" and to that my response would be "Ugghh, wait WHAT? Who? Uh uh...no, no he's NOT!" Like is it not a requirement to be fly anymore? And if so WHY NOT? I don't care how much money you have.....Rick "JELLY ROLL" Ross will never be attractive to me! I just don't think it's fair that we, the female hip-hop fans, have to settle for whatever comes out....whereas new female artists, rappers or singers are groomed to be damn near BEAUTY QUEENS. Daahhh WELL....tis' the world we live in. Thanks God for the Nas', Method Man's, and Loons( no he can't rap but he is FINE) of the world. My new hope for a more attractive hip hop is Dolla....he can get it, just to put that out there! So I'm gonna keep hope alive.....I know that hip hop's face lift is right around the corner (Oh how I hope I'm right!)
