Rap Music

Suineg · 01-29-2003, 03:33 PM

In my sheer boredom I was watching Asian MTV (I am in Japan so this sorta makes sense). Well they had a 'rap' hour. In this hour I broadened my horizons and saw many a rap artist/song that I had never seen/heard before. One thing disturbed me in my lack of education.

Why does every rapper say this line somewhere in their song:

'I've been in the game for a while'

When do you reach that magical point where 'you have been in the game for a while'? I think even 50 Cent said that and if I recall does he even have an album out.

Oh well maybe I am just ignorant and confused.

I'm kidding, I'm not that much of an ass.

Its simply a figure of speech in thier music, its not like you have to rap for at least 5 years and release 3 albums to be ' in the game '.
