Yeah I'm so owned. :roll:
umm yeah.....you are. hip hop has always had an obsession with money and material things, and there's nothing wrong with that. Wrong. American Hip-Hop & Rap developed an obsession with materiality, British and European Hip Hop never did. It was only with the emergence of Gangsta Rap (that originated in the US), that Hip Hop lost all relevance to it's roots. Back in the true old skool days of Kool Moe Dee, Doug E. Fresh, Flash, Melle Mel, Bambaataa etc., nobody used to give a monkey's about material wealth. As for 'My Adidas' - rapping about a pair of trainers/sneakers is a world apart from rappers of today staging their music videos (and their whole ethos) surrounded by supercars, hoes and $.
