Finally, we find two Black men in the cRap music game that aren’t trying to french each other… We hope.
Since I wasn’t invited to the NAS listening party I will have to imagine the dialogue that took place later that evening as these two industry giants plot their takeover of the free world…
Jigger: Chea!
Lil’ Homie: Chea!
Jigger: Chea!
Lil’ Homie: Chea!
Jigger: Chea!
Lil’ Homie: Chea!
Jigger: Chea!
Lil’ Homie: I forgot what I was gon’ say…
Jigger: Chea!
Lil’ Homie: Oh, yeah right. Chea!
It’s from these two men that you people expect your beloved Hip-Hop to be resuscitated?!? One of these guys treats Hip-Hop like a part-time hobby that he plays with just for the fun of it, while the other can’t form a cogent linear conversation without adding a few hundred ‘nah means’. More importantly, these two guys have money to make, not an artform to conserve or preserve. Start looking inward instead of waiting for that miracle to fall from the sky. Hip-Hop belongs to you as much as it does to any cRapper or artist, or even corporation.
Hip-Hop didn’t die because the artists and their corporate sponsors decided that we would accept disposable shitty art.
Hip-Hop died when WE decided that we would accept the bullshit.
which one can’t form a coherent linear sentence?
hahaha Chea!!
“Hip-Hop died when WE decided that we would accept the bullshit.”
Chea! unfortunately.
what more can i say?
CHEA!
CHEA!
CHEA!
yall aint ready—-Black Republicans get it while you can

DP: PLEASE ALLOW ME TO VENT. What would you all have us listen to…………..I do Jazz, a little r&b, but I was raised on Hip Hop so I’ll listen when its in a alleged slump and when it returns to form out of this alleged slump. I’m actually starting to feel a certain kinda way about everyone saying hip hop is just so terrible…….y’all only get half a bar fcuk y’all niggas {c} Hov. I can’t stand no band wagon ass m*&^%…..ah you get.
Original verbal assassin have’ta carve me a nigga {c} Nas……
Respectfully yours 911……*blame this pile of homework/work*
Post Script, I do understand we have alot of fad/shtick rap right now and yes they do SUCK but damn on every site the commenters just be……I liken it to watching a relative get beat up rightfully so b’cuz he/she talks too much and you gotta stop the fight so ok you won…..*looks around for artist who he can use to back up his rant*……*Blank Stare*…….1
^911,
listen to the GAYME’s new album, listen to JAY-Z’s new joint. You will enjoy both because they are good Hip-Hop works, just don’t expect JAY-Z to care about the art any further than it increases his bottom line. I poke fun at all of these artists that try to act like they are bigger than the art they abuse and bigger than the consumer who is left to pick up the pieces.
After years of telling people that they were important because of the car they could buy and how many diamonds they owned they lost themselves to their own hype. You can’t have a drug kingpin without a football field full of addicts and families whose lives were shattered by drugs. I speak for the addicts and the dudes that left the block because they watched it destroy the people they loved firsthand.
As a military man you come in contact with other cultures outside of the U.S. Paris has a dope Hip-Hop scene as does Brixton, U.K. and Lagos, Nigeria. Don’t be afraid to look outside the box to find artists that share your core values in the daily life struggle.
chea!
@911
Hip-Hop/cRap muse-sick is like that 20-something year old that STILL doesn’t know what to do with it’s life…it can not be everything to everyone….listen, it started out as party music (late 70’s Her, Bambata, etc,) Got pimped ala Sugar Hill,early eighties, came back to it’s senses and it started to get afro-centric and informational and whatnot (late eighties early 90’s PE,Tribe), then it started smelling itself in the mid to late 90’s (Puff, Mase,etc..).all watered down and commercial and thangs…Now it’s back to what? Party music….so it’s just a vicious cycle until the next new big thing that black folks create!
^who is this, Chuck D?
I think Jay’s comeback was early. HE should have waited until the NEXT nas drop to drop. Game was kinda right about that
Now that’s what I’m talking about Dallas..let’s begin the Hip Hop lives campaign..
