You probably know that phrase has been around for awhile and has a lot to do with this cat...

Someone coined a great phrase for the type of Hip Hop I like, it is called Grown Man Rap.  Here is a great example:

 

Modern Lovers - Pablo Picasso

The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy - Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury

For all of you fools in this world
Who dream watching stars in the sky
I want to tell you you're not alone
For all those who walk in the street
Singing, their heads in the clouds
Let me write this tune for you
For all you lovers in this world
For whom the sun shines every day
Keep the spirit of your happiness
Hate is so easy in these times
That it's a hard way to love
Let me play this tune for you
For all of you who have this dream
Of a better life in this world
I want to tell you, you're not alone
For all of you who are so sure
That justice is losing ground

My friend Beth is selling her collection of punk rock flyers to help out some of her musician friends who're looking at overwhelming medical bills...
