"Talent."

There are three really musically gifted teenagers I know. One is called Mc Major, one is called Mc Dairy and one is called Mc Dtdt they are all the same age as me. (I don't remember their real names). They're all cool guys, they helped me out when I was getting mugged by about ten people. They all got into serious trouble for beating up a shopkeeper a while back and Mc Major got expelled. I learnt today that Major has his own music video. And today in Music for a project dairy brought in a really great music video he had made in some ghetto council flat they own, his video showed really talent and potential. And he started selling copies afterwards. But from my point of view by the time these guys are eighteen they are all going to be in a young offenders institute. makes me wonder why God gave talent to people who are willing to throw it away to keep up their bad boy personas.

He's a spastic.

If you're into both Mos Def and Talib then 'Blackstar' would definetly be the album I'd recommend, it's really hard to get hold of these days but definetly worth paying the extra money for. Also Mos Def's solo debut 'Black on both sides' is also excellent, really difficult to find this so might be worth searching Amazon marketplace.

Danke, also looking into Mos Def but I have no idea what's his best stuff.

*hint hint*

Beating up a shop keeper because he was racist towards them makes them just as bad, if not worse than the shop keeper. Clearly the behaviour of some retarded chavs.

Oh and Beautiful Struggle is a good album, certainly not his best though. Check out Quality and Reflection Eternal from some truely supoib Talib, both available on Amazon for under £10.

I think you have the general idea.

Erm, why would people listen to artists / groups who are poor over those who are rich...? Personally I get music based on whether or not I like it, not based on how wealthy the artist is...

If you're saying people don't like 'rich' artists because they're 'mainstream' (ie. that's how they got rich), then yeah, most people who are actually into music like 'poor' (read: less well known) artists, because there's a hell of a lot more variety and specialised tastes among 'poor' artists, because 'mainstream'/'rich' artists have to sound a certain way to be 'mainstream'... Otherwise they wouldn't get mass acceptance.

Assuming that's what was meant by this 'rich'/'poor' stuff...
