Don't Call It a Comeback...

We've been here for years.

Well...sorta. (NSFW our peoples)

Don't call this a regular jam, not on (Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays!



And while we are at it....what the HELL happened to rap?
Seriously?
TS takes a few weeks off, and THIS is what happens?



That's the move? Really?

Take a sneakpeak at some of 106 & Park's voting "list":

-The aforementioned Traffik (who?)

-Soulja Boy Tell 'EM (who we are preeeetty sure should be charged/tried/convicted for killing rap/hip hop as we know it)

-Yung LA (Tiny True Story is convinced that Lil/Young/Yung/Yun/any infantile pre-fix already gives you 3.75% more street cred)

-Scooter Smiff (dude's like 12 but still driving a better car then us...damnit....also, that "Scooter Smiff went up the Hill, He rolled back down with an Interscope Deal" line is pretty tight... )

Even The Game (say it ain't so!) has joined this mess


Now, we know what you are thinking America...

Hate Hate Hate Hate

And trust True Story, we looooveee us some necessary/(un?)necessary rap, and not all rap/hip hop that comes out now misses the mark in our opinion...
(for great examples see Sense, Common)

But seriously, after watching this year's VH1 Hip Hop Honors (which you can watch in full HERE) we here at True Story can only wonder what the hell happened to rap...

Some choice tracks from the 2008 Honorees to help soothe the soul, enjoy:

-Cypress Hill
-De La Soul
-Naughty By Nature
-Too $hort
(yeah its only a few years old, but a BANGIN beat, c'mon now)

and of course, one of the most classic jams out there from the Ruler:
Slick Rick



True Story.
