House,I think that u wrong in some case.I guess fame is not the last thing in MC`ing...If u can do it well,if u have facility,if u surpass other rapers and ur texts include smth more than just cliches,u`v deserved ur fame...And ur payment.I think it`s not a new wave it`s an old wave of old rapers who r depraved by money.Some years ago They were cool guyes and they didn`t think about bucks.But now they change their comprehension and make commercial rap.
Having fame is not bad if u can manage it.It`s my conclusion
peace.love.respect.
