Father Where Art Thou?

Being a fan of hiphop music, and after listening to the music for years and years I have come realise an unspoken and often over looked rule of being a rapper and it is if you wanna become a rapper you have to be fatherless.

The proof?

listen to the number of songs that rappers dedicate to their mothers, now compare that to the number of songs dediated to their fathers. Well as you can see for yourself there is a very large number of songs devoted to mothers, in fact it seems to be a trend that rappers have ascribed to with every other rap album having a slow song about dear their old mama. But I doubt many of you can think of or name a single track dedicated to a rapper's father in fact I could only come up with two out of a thousand and more. Nas: Poppa was a Playa & a track on Shyiem's album Greatest Story Never Told (I can't quite remember the name of the track, but when I do I'll be sure to edit this) just like the trend of dedicating songs to their dear sweet mothers, rappers also feel the need to always express how their father's left them at a young age or how they never knew who he was.

As you can see for yourself the proof is irrefutable so remember if you're thinking of becoming a rapper...make sure you have no biological father or you'll never make it in the industry.
