whereas the people playing blackalicious will be smart white kids who liked "him" in college cause the dude with dreads in the frat was like dude you gotta check this shit.

let's admit something here - both kw and blackalicious are trying to make some dollars here in their efforts. I'm even questioning the timing of Late Registration's drop and Kanye's slam on Bush on national TV. Instant platinum. Hmmmn. I have to agree with an earlier point about seeing the live performances. If you want MTV-style white-fratboy-"i'm badass"-ness, go see Kanye. If you want the old-school-KRS-One-white-fratboy-surrounded-by-actual-black-people-ness, check out Blackalicious. Kanye may be more ear-candy-friendly, and Blackalicious may strive for higher social-conciousness, but I'll just say I dig 'em both. Just don't look for me at a live Kanye show.

Uh, I really don't think Kanye would have had a problem going platinum without his Bush comment. Sure it helped out his sales, but to act like he wouldn't have gone platinum without the controversy is just plain dumb.

thirteen years pass...

fuck it. blackalicious has more class in his little finger than kanye. open your ears and eyes, no one is going to be playing kanye in 20 years, except stupid white kids who liked him in high school cause he was on mtv and everyone else did.
