Who can protect themselves from betrayal? The day your brother wakes up and plans to do you dirty, there's no defense against that.

When the President (of the United States) mentions your name in anger, you know the sh*t has hit the fan!

It's like a paradox. For one side, being popularized rap got better and the other side of it got worse. It's very pop and it's very different now.
