You seemed as if you were on the brink of vomiting. However,being from Philly I hate to see the Young Joc's and Young Dro's get beats and Reed Dollaz and Hollowman rehashin dipset antems. Why is Choppa getting songs and Ness sitting at home? Why don't lyrical MC's sell anymore? How is someone comparing Kanye(producer) to rappers. If youd don't realize that producers get your foot in the door by now you will never know. I know one thing...they need to keep that kid from the freaks come out at night out of rap. All he has ever done is harm the culture. When things have become fadish...they have faded. I hope Lupe is right and it comes back to the lyrics.SoundOffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03550518079616146806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153639939652583082006-07-23T00:32:00.000-07:002006-07-23T00:32:00.000-07:00many of these motherfuckers will never criticize a...many of these motherfuckers will never criticize anyone, not wanting to ruin their chance of one day interviewing Lil Flip.. word?! hilarious!! i had a chance to interview 50 at the top of his career and backed out. couldn't do it.Jameilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242625946552047911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153520568877420922006-07-21T15:22:00.000-07:002006-07-21T15:22:00.000-07:00This is one of the best blog entries I´ve EVER rea...This is one of the best blog entries I´ve EVER read.

To quote Blackthought, "The general flows kids composed on tablet/Exposed how they was averaging they thoughts not rapping" Maybe one day Hip-Hop as a whole will speak to me again.

I have to admit that even though I sorta enjoyed some of the lil jon "club hits" that first came out, I can't remember one single line other than the chorus. So I too eventually had to switch the freakin radio off. It makes me violently angry to hear young jeezy 8 times an hour, and that's not good for my road rage.<BR/><BR/>Since we're on the subject of hip hop, I can't help but be one of the countless annoying tupac fans you always talk about. Just wondering if you've ever read his poetry. I know it's not robert frost or maya angelou or anything, but I think it's got some substance.

Once I finally read the XXL article (which I only read sporadically because I find that hip hop mags reflect the state of "hip hop" - nuff said) I realized that he so OBVIOUSLY ignored the post. Being a sheep and only giving love to what you hear on the radio (i.e. what THEY tell you to like, nay, LOVE) is beyond stupid. It's a blatant sacrifice of individuality, which, in my opinion, is a little dangerous.Breezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487826139719603042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153459741835411942006-07-20T22:29:00.000-07:002006-07-20T22:29:00.000-07:00Clear Channel Conditioning -- you hit it right on ...Clear Channel Conditioning -- you hit it right on the head there. Most hip-hop fans nowadays blindly swallow what's being spoon fed to them by the folks at Viacom and ClearChannel. While these "great artists" such as Yung Joc and Three 6 (even though I don't mind 36M too much) sell records, the industry execs are busy lining their pockets while castrating the genre at the same time.<BR/><BR/>In the 80s/90s they took what they had. Thankfully it was LL, RunDMC, Rakim, The Beasties, etc. Now, there's so many "artists" dying to be famous, they can pick and choose who they want, and unfortunately they want artists to make you buy records -- not think. For every Lil Jon out there now, there's still a Common floating around. But why find and market the plain jane guy when this guy has gold teeth?<BR/><BR/>Now sure, I like <B>some</B> of the new stuff. It's not (completely) bad. But at the same time, I have no problem going back and obtaining some of the classic tracks. Unfortunately, the majority of my fellow Generation Y-ers aren't as willing. Which is a shame, because then not only can they experience Common's "I Used To Love H.E.R." but also realize that the message in that track still holds true today.TOPolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206619274269962268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153434111259877212006-07-20T15:21:00.000-07:002006-07-20T15:21:00.000-07:00You know what pisses me off most about these young...You know what pisses me off most about these young foolish cats (my brother's dumb ass included...he should know better he grew up with me...damn) <BR/><BR/>Is that they come from places with other artists have continued to to innovate on hip-hops roots. <BR/><BR/>Outkast, UGK, Scarface...<BR/><BR/><BR/>These young boys and dumb heifers like Khia, only see the bling and the Moet...<BR/><BR/>My theory is B.I.G left that bling, screwing, drinking and partying crap behind and now we can't get rid of it--.Jonzeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05043298950917126518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153434842475456502006-07-20T15:34:00.000-07:002006-07-20T15:34:00.000-07:00great post. all too often people label honest crit...great post. all too often people label honest criticism of music (and hip hop in particular) as hating, but as common says in the 6th sense, if i don't like it, i don't like it - that don't mean that i'm hating." <BR/><BR/>by the way, "careless whisper" is a great song! in fact, just the mention of that song reminded me i need to go download "father figure." i'm not telling the guilty pleasures on my ipod. you'd make fun of me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9807422.post-1153425043105258852006-07-20T12:50:00.000-07:002006-07-20T12:50:00.000-07:00HC, I don't want to say that you are wasting your ...HC, I don't want to say that you are wasting your time, but brah, this so-called hip hop generations' fans are simply ignorant. I didn't even know there was a rap group called the Ying Yang twins until 6 or 7 months ago. I'd stopped listening to regular radio because quite simply, it all just hurt my ears. Hip Hop, rap, all of it just stings my eardrums man. <BR/><BR/>I mean literally. I could stomach any root canal before allowing some of this generations Hip Hop music to play from anywhere in my home or car. <BR/><BR/>Back in the 80's and even the early to mid-90's, you could turn on the radio and listen to a few lyrics and figure out who was rocking on the radio. Do you know why? Everyone had a signature sound that was their own. EVERYONE. There was creativity, lyricism, originality, diversity and the rappers of the day stood apart meaning, each one had their own thing about them that made them stand out. <BR/><BR/>Everyone today sounds like a friggin' carbon copy of eachother. How the heck is that original? And how can one insult themselves into believing that this is quality music?<BR/><BR/>Everyone back in the day was unique. With RunDMC it was their adidas and leather jackets with hats, with LL it was his trademark Kangol and bragadociousness, with Kane it was his suaveness and smooth but acrobatic lyrics, with Rakim it was the knowledge he spit from his lyrics where EVERY.DAMN.SONG. had a lesson of some sort within, KRS-1 and his BDP crew brought the realism of the streets to wax, Cold Crush rocked hard in the parks and in Harlem World, and Public Enemy stood as the official ambassadors for the black power movement. <BR/><BR/>They reached out to the fans to bring quality stuff and they appreciated the art form. Even the 1-hit wonders of the time rocked alot harder than these cats today could ever do. Quite simply, I feel that every hip hop fan that is a fan of the sound of today that feels that this is quality stuff needs to be kidnapped, thrown into a sealed off air chamber, complete with food and ample air supply because we need them alert and play nothing but Hip Hop music from its genesis to the mid-90's. Know your past young'ns and then you will see how a once incredible art form has literally taken it on the chin because its been diluted by today's garbage. <BR/><BR/>It's not hating, its just the facts.
