Here’s a good article/interview with your boy X-to-the-Z. A snippet: “What I miss is a time when hip-hop music had integrity; there was some kind of message,” he says. “Not in all the music, because it’s not for that, but there was at least something that got through that had some content that was sensible… Continue reading Xzibit: ‘Rap Needs a Message’
