The Death Of Rap

Back in the day - rap groups had a front man, a DJ with one or two Hype-men.
Chuck D delivered the relevant lines in any Public Enemy song.
Flava Flav was a hype-man - coming up with memorable lyrics like, "Yeeeeah Boy!!!"

Even though I currently live in the South - I hate Southern Rap.
There is no poetry, no melody, no story... no point - only simple sing-song couplets
Southern rap features the followers in the roll of the leaders.

In the Hot Boyz - Weezy was the hype man.
Juvenile delivered the story Weezy delivered the highlights.
Weezy is credited with lyrics such as, "Bling Bling" and "Wobbledy Wobbledy.."

Flava knew he was only the hype-man.

Most of today's kids are fooled into believing that Weezy is a front man.
