So, in the past two posts, people have simply said "you don't know what you're talking about". Can we get a reason why the other person is wrong? As for P.Diddy and sampling, wouldn't that be considered true rap as rap started out as taking other people's songs and rapping over it. And don't all rappers sample to some degree... If you think he's too pop, then that's your thing, but as the man said, who cares if he writes rhymes, he writes checks.
(I don't think I've ever tried to defend P. Diddy before; I feel kinda strange now
