Biggie Smalls vs 2Chainz

Quick show of hands, who knows the whole song or even the first verse of Biggie Small's song “Juicy”? For those of you who don't even know the first verse, much less the whole song, it goes a little something like this...

It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt 'n' Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock til my tape popped

Don't the lyrics sound like poetry? I know it's not the most conventional form of poetry, but still  it’s a piece of literary art. It sounds way better than the rap music nowadays- at least to me it does. This was written in 1994, 18 years ago. How about 2Chainz, you ask? Well, here's the first verse of his song "No Lie":

I am smoking on that gas, life should be on Cinemax
Who he’s, not I, I smoke strong, that Popeye
I take ya girl and kidnap her, feed her to my mattress

Not at all poetic, am I right? And let me not get started with the "who he's, not I, I smoke strong, that Popeye". Doesn't this guy know proper English? Let's get back on track though. The reason why I think certain rap lyrics are like this today is because most rap artists aren't writing their own songs anymore. You think if 2Chainz wrote this himself he'd put "who he, not I"? I don't think so-nobody wants to sound like a fool to millions of people. In my opinion, producers should let rappers write their own music again, or maybe they should at least hire rappers who have good grammar. I'm sure they'll come up with great songs- just look at Biggie's lyrics. Maybe producers should trust their artists to make smash hits with their own lyrics and not the lyrics of strangers. Anyone agree? Disagree? Agree to disagree? The comment "door" is always open. Write your opinion, and I promise to reply. Goodbye for now!
