"Old School Rappers" can make a comeback-but only if they work smarter and harder. They have to be ready to re-establish their sound and use today's tools (ex: internet). Also, artists shouldn't forget their roots and what made them relevant in the first place. They also have to be conscious of today's sound. That "Old School Rapper" is also going to have to do the groundwork (grind). They have to meet, touch and tell the audience about the new chapter they are creating.

The answer is yes. The top reason why "Old School Rappers" can make a comeback is because when it's their time, it's their time.  All rappers who made it in the industry have had that "moment of fame"-(their time to shine). Fortunately for some, that moment lasts much longer than just 15 minutes; it can last a lifetime. With the right talent, the right lyrics, the right producer, the right look, and the proper artist promotion and endorsements, that moment can happen more than once. He or she can definitely MAKE A COMEBACK! Next month, we'll reveal artists that can make a comeback. DJ Dan Dan – danshiver@yahoo.com.

Fly on the Wall 

Recently, P Buggy and I was sailing on the Hudson when a young African American lady and her guests boarded the boat to celebrate her thirtieth birthday. No big deal until the party started. Once the party started, the deejay, an African American began playing hip hop and r & b with explicit lyrics. The ‘N’ word and the mf’s were used as if they were reciting nursery rhymes.

P. Buggy, a self proclaimed, middle-aged white man never saw anything like this and was shocked!!!

After seeing this, we began talking and realized that there are some things that are said when other people aren’t around. We laughed that some of these same people from the party will be in church on Sunday and that they would never say these things there or at work. Apparently, there are things people say when others aren’t around, whether it’s Blacks about Whites or vice versa. Many say things to their friends that they would never say in public. If we could only be a fly on the wall and see what they really think.
