I gotta ask...


SENSELESS CENSUS
written by Doesn't Matt R

doesn’t Matt R.’s turn to ask questions:

Why is there a 15:1 ratio of Tupac to Biggie posters available for purchase?

Where did LL Cool J’s eyebrows go?

If so many of the hottest M.C.’s give props and name drop Kool G. Rap in their rhymes, how come they never get a verse from him on the album?

Why has every artist that is supposed to be the next Biggie turned out to be the Harold Minor to Michael Jordan?

Is Jay-Z Kobe?

How many young fans will be confused that Biggie died in ’97, but refers to 9/11?

How many future 2Pac fans will believe that BIG died first because Pac shouts out his death so many times on wax.

If you choose the name C-Murder and then actually get convicted for a homicide, do you wish you went with C-Rainbows instead?

Is the flattop really making a comeback? Does that mean Horror-core rap is next?

Who is going to be the next hip-hop duo to make a buddy-comedy like Kid N’ Play and Meth & Red?

Which crew of a famous artist would win in a Royal Rumble: Junior Mafia, The Outlawz, D-12, St. Lunatics, Flipmode Squad, or USDA?

If I pray hard enough, will Eminem make a lot more albums, but never have another one sound like Encore?

How did Eve go from looking like she did when she first came out, to what she looks like now?

Nowadays when artists only have a handful of hot songs on their album, if they’re lucky, why aren’t more people talking about how amazing Capital Punishment and Yeahhhh Baby are?

Has anyone had a worse career collapse, other than ending up dead, than DMX?

Will Jadakiss somehow be a part of every major label near its peak popularity until hip-hop is really dead?

Does anybody aside from me remember Dana Dane? Nightmares?

Chew on that for a while.

Once Eve did that sitcom on UPN 9, she started the new look she has now.... I don't know what we can call it, but its not the Eve we have all come to love...

1. Umm, 2Pac is better looking? I dunno. lol.

2. They are being brazillian waxed like his chest hair

3. I dunno, I'm just happy that people give him props.

4. Because people just love to make these kinds of comparisons and they are just unfair. Seriously, how could people think that Shyne was the next BIG? just because of his voice?

5. Great point. Great f**king point!!!

6. I don't understand the question Bob.

7. I hope none because if they do, then its our fault for being terrible role models

8. or C-College Graduate?

9. Yes, let's bring the Flatlinerz back

10. If i had to honestly guess, I'd say T-Pain and Lil' Wayne

11. My money is on D-12.

12. You can try but fame sucks. Although he's supposed to be making a comeback in 2009.

13. I don't argue against good things. I love me some E-V-E.

14. CP yes, Yeeeahh Baby? Left a little to be desired man. Granted it was unfinished and Joe just put it out but I don't think the two albums are comparable.

15. Ja Rule - much worse in terms of a career. Chi Ali and John Forte - way worse than all of them

16. Yes Jada will sign with G-Unit by the end of next year.

17. We all remember him, the question is when was the last time i heard a song from him?

About the Biggie 9/11 thing, I just meant that in 30 years, some people might somehow believe that "blow up like the World Trade" is referring to 9/11 and not the first, less remembered bombing. Even though BIG died first, after long periods of time, these things can get foggy in people's minds, especially if they weren't born yet.
