king tech: for me personally, the two things i miss is the conscious rap. i really miss the x--clan's and the public enemy's, and when you get into you car, somebody gave you information on something in arizona that you didn't know about or something that was going on worldwide. i miss them type of groups. i know that nobody really wants to hear them right now, but i miss that era. i think the other thing that really bothers me is the lyrical skill level. the bar has gotten so low, that honestly i feel like i can rap at this point. you just listen to it and damn. it's equivalent to like, if you watch the nba, and go, 'damn, it's ten feet high. the way he got in the air and dunked it, that's incredible.' you know, then the nba brings the rim down to six feet, and you're like, wait a minute, i can play this game, too! i want to jump in this! i feel like if the lyrical skill level of the early '90s was a ten, and now it's gotten down to a six and five, and in some cases a four, a three. at one point, i thought it was a zero. when i listen to some records, it's zero! it's like there is no skill involved in this, this guy is saying nothing! and, i don't know, for me personally, that was a sad day.
