This quote really hit me and I agree with it. 100%. This was said by Ice-T in his book "Ice". Part 7, Chapter 15, page 213. He was talking about the loss of emotion in hip-hop.

"But as a G, being emotionally invested in something I had a hand in creating, I want the art form to stay lyrical, relevant, and talent-based. I admire the skills of the DJ, the skills of the breakdancer, the skills of the MC. When I hear artists saying, "Yo, I just want to get paper," that pisses me off. When you say you don't really give a shit, and you just want to get on the radio, then you're pop to me. And pop has always been my enemy."
