I can't start that way though because I'm having a hard time believing that The Hip Hop Bible is sitting on it's laurels letting this culture be destroyed by a bunch of know-nothing critics and adolescents who have no appreciation for talent, skill or craft; only marketing savvy. Yes, you too, oh hallowed scribes of Street Knowledge are falling into this trap of abandoning that which above all makes an MC great: LYRICS. There was a time when every rapper's dream (besides platinum plaques and groupies) was to be acknowledged as one of the chosen few whose verse was so eloquent, clever and symbolic of one's originality that it became, dare I say it? A HIP HOP QUOTABLE. Wow, could you get a higher accolade of your ability as a lyricist than that? Posdnous didn't seem to think so. "Man, everything I say should be a Hip Hop Quotable" he said on "Stakes is High." The great late yet all too early Big Punisher even boasted he was "King of the Hip Hop Quotables." Now with Soulja Boy-D4L-Hurricane Chris-Dem Franchise Boyz ringtone rappers coming outta the woodwork, lyrics are becoming a relic of a bygone era back when rappers were, uhm what's the word? Oh yeah...SMART. Let me get to the point...YOU CAN FIX THIS. And if you love this culture as much as you proclaim to, then YOU SHOULD FIX THIS. Give appreciation to some of the Lyricists out there still struggling to make their voices heard, stop being lazy and giving the quotable to Jay-Z and Nas. Go out there and FIND that underground verse that everybody should be checkin' for! How did y'all manage to not give ANYBODY a quotable for that song Slaughterhouse?! We are dying because you are LETTING US DIE. This isn't about the South being wack OR an East Coast comeback. This is about how The Source has an established tool for getting Hip Hop to focus on that which made us great and can do so again. Why is it when I google Hip Hop quotable I get search results for a Ludacris song? This is unacceptable. Y'all don't even have Hip Hop Quotables on your own website? What...the Fuck? You need an issue dedicated to the Hip Hop Quotable and what it means to all of us. You need to tell us about WHO got them and WHY. And you need to make MC's realize that this is something they should strive to get and that the only way to do that is by being NICE with the wordplay, rhyme schemes, poetry and vocabulary. Why am I putting this to you? Because VIBE put Plies on the cover and called him the future of Hip Hop. Y'all should be shittin' bricks trying to prevent such a thing from occuring. As for XXL, I don't recall a SINGLE rapper bragging about how they got "Train of Thought." Besides we should be past excuses now. Stop following the trends and start SETTING them again. BE the change that all of us want to see. Return to your former glory by taking the first step. signed, Hybrid P.S. I don't believe anyone should bitch and moan without offering a solution so I have a list of some of the ones I know should be in there. It is not complete but it should get you started.
