The 10 Commandments

[EminemBase]

Was just thinking this could be an okay idea for a concept album...

I'm not religious, but I just mean; conceptually, to take that concept and apply it to hip-hop, like...

The 10 Commandments
1. Have a Message
2. Rhyme Tight
3. Do Your Own Hooks
4. Don't Follow Trends
5. No Lil Wayne
6. Remember Your Roots
7. Put Pen to Paper
8. Have an Image
9. Say Something Daring
10. Don't Say Swag

And it's 10 tracks, each like a 'commandment' or rule within hip-hop aka 'don't sell-out' etc.

What would your 10 commandments be?

[PAINKILLƎR]

Couldn't have said it better myself, my ten commandments would be exactly like yours. Except maybe replace "Rhyme Tight" because that's already a given with Em and replace it with, "Consistent sound" (production wise) Produce your own beats, have Dre, Bass Bros production, etc.

Considering this is in HHD, I think EmBase is talking about a hip-hop artist's album in general, not just an album Eminem could make.

Oh ok, damn I wasn't paying attention my bad
