Some of you are showing your age.
I know, or have at least met, most of the big rappers and their crews.
Sure, some of them are pussies in real life... but most aren't. Hell, even 50 Cent burned someone's house to the ground... on top of other stuff. Jay Z... anyone remember the time he stabbed someone about 5 years ago? The story went away quietly. When it comes to ass kicking the Rock Stars have nothing on the rappers. Nothing at all.
When it comes to fucking groupies it's a push. And that's only because AIDs didn't exist back then. These guys get more pussy of every nationality 24/7 than the old Rock Stars did.
Rappers absolutely are the new rock stars. Admit it. Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Eminem, and many others would get mobbed if they go out in public everywhere from Jacksonville to Japan. Most of the old Rock Stars other than the lead singers in a handful of bands wouldn't.
When it comes to money, well, it's hard to beat the old rock stars. But on a time adjusted comparison the rappers would win that one too. Did The Stones, or even The Beatles make $100 million their 4th year in existence?
No. Not even close. But 50 Cent did.
Of course he will never make the 100's of millions 20 year later touring, but we live in a microwave society where stars die quickly. There will never be another Stones or Michael Jackson or Madonna with the kind of longevity and material that will allow that. Those days are over.
Well.. although Radiohead might, too bad they are so personally boring. If they had the Gallagher brother's persona they'd be the biggest band in the world right now.
Don't think I am happy about this. We need some real ROCKStars that play ROCK music. The genre sucks right now because there are none. Rappers are cool, but the music world is a bit un balanced right now.
