Just in case you guys are too retarted and thick-headed to figure this out, if you have good lyrics, then people will buy your records. It doesnt take a rocket scientist to come up with that connection.
Just cuz, chingy and them sell records (for a very brief period) does not negate my statement.
People with good lyrics, like Pac, Big, Nas, Jay, Snoop
all have sold a lot of records over a consistent period of time.
