With the borders being wide open it’s pretty obvious that we are now going to have to recognize Spanish rap artists in a great abundance. I’m not a politician so I don’t get involved in who is an illegal alien or legit. I just state the facts. Just as the huge retail moguls like Wal-Mart are giving way to the Spanish so will follow the hip hop nation. If you don’t think this is going to happen you are dreaming or smoking some really good weed. Mark my word that Fat Joe as a Puerto Rican don will have to share the thrown with another rapper of color and it will more than likely be a Spaniard.

Readers have been asking me what rappers real names is becuase they want to know just how far away these artist have went from the government name.

Method Man has always been a hot rapper in the hip hop world of things. Everybody knows that it took somebody like Redman to hook up with him to keep the flow ini check. They made great music together and it is all classics today.

After being in the industry for 15 years, Method Man isn’t too pleased with the music scene today.

The former Wu-Tang Clan rapper, who makes a guest appearance in 1994-set comedy-drama The Wackness, says the best time for hip-hop and rap were in the early 90s.

“The music was way more grounded than it is today. Today, you don’t feel the movement. Back then, you felt the movement,” he recalled to reporters in New York.

He added: “I mean, the whole hip-hop movement. Like when Wu-Tang Clan came in, it was like regardless of where we went, people knew who we were. Or if we were in a new city, there was one person who knew who we was, and that would spread to ten more people, and so on and so forth, up until it was, ‘Oh, you ain’t up on that Wu-Tang stuff? Oh you ain’t down homie!’

“Same thing with Cash Money, No Limit, Death Row – it goes on and on, all these movements. You don’t have that any more.”
