Chance The Rapper says that 1990's Rappers were fabricated

[Matike85]

The #1 issue with my generation is their lack of knowledge of the past. Chance is showing this issue with his point of view. You had the whole fucking Zulu Nation movement back in the 90s. Sure many rappers were under a phony image. However you had conscious afrocentric rap back then.

Shit Kanye would have never been Kanye without Q-Tip who infamously stars Low End Theory about how shit goes in cycles. While i have liked chances music he has really started to get on my nerves with his modern persona. First he bullied mtv to remove an unfavorable concert review. Then he tries to make himself out to be "indy" when apple is giving him the bag (see @GetoBoy i do call out apple music). Now this nigga is making blanket statements about the 90s and Kanye post 90s not knowing afrocentric rap from that era inspired Kanye.

Exactly... Chance The Rapper act like he innovative a new wheel cycle in Hip Hop ... But the more he talks and his actions confirms that he is an industry plant... Justice League & Spike Lee Exposes him already and there will be more at his neck now...

Lacrae created Chance The Rapper Lane that Chance The Rapper used he needs to pay Homage to him not Kanye West

I got no problem with what he said. People acing like rappers in the 90s weren't saying the same thing about other rappers in the 90s. I'd question what he's basing his perspective on given he wasn't around in the 90s, but that doesn't make what he said wrong.

who's the 1st 90's rapper that came to mind ??

Cliff notes before people go off and don't understand what he's saying

He said on rappers being themselves behind the mic...



"The fact that it's able to be a main stage or mainstream image, and accepted and celebrated is because of folks like Kanye," said Chance. "[He] came in the game and was like 'This is who I am, and these are the type of things that I love, and I'm excited about them, and I don't necessarily have to carry myself as anybody that I'm not.' And people picked up on it."...

"There's always been a quiet conversation and joke that if you're not hard, if you're not from impoverished neighborhoods, if you're not certain constructs of a black stereotype, then you not black," he explained. "Niggas kinda ran with that in the '90s I think, and that's why there were so many fabricated hood niggas. But now, a lot of black people have a lot more pride in being who they are, and understanding that is part of the black experience, is living and being who you are. I think it's more accepted on the main stage."

i can get with that and lets lose the 90's mentality. the 90's are the new70's

Naw the 90's are to Hip Hop and the Urban Community what the 60's were to the Rock and Roll White bread community. Musically bth era represented a baseline for everything after to be measured against...

 

[BedStuy]

He's generalizing.

This right here. I don't really listen to 90's babies anyway because some like to talk about things when they were less than 5 years old at the time.

Born in 93 lost respect for this nigga as a human being

 

[gum989]

Oh yea

...in before someone says they never heard a chance the rapper song

I've never heard one.

I was born in 1990. But i fucking researched and listened to shit from the 90s. I don't know every artist from the era but grew up understanding what the afrocentric themes from the 90s were like. If you become a lawyer you learn about case studies and history of law. If you become a doctor you learn the history of science. If chance can't even understand the powerful diversity of popular rap in the 90s he doesn't get a pass for understanding the basic afrocentric theme of 90s rap.

The nigga chance is supposed to be well educated and comes from a political family from Chicago. He can't have this label of coming from such greatness and smarts and not know the simple fact that tribe and de la soul are the reason kanye is who he is. How the flying fuck does he not know common since existed in the same town he grew up in? A dumb mumble rapper gets a pass. Chance can't play dumb.

I always said Kanye was the father that made it cool to come in the game on some non gangsta stuff.

tupac mother fucker

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Tupac was fabricated but y'all gave him a pass

I agree to an extent with this sentiment; he just like a Soulja Boy or Chris Brown

 

[Ear2DaSt]

I disagree

I think Pac was a true Thug and represented Thug Life !!!!!!!

What set was he a really a part of?

Well his tattoo says Thug Life not gang life

He was after his paper and his number 1 spot he didn't give a dang

He was kinda crazy and that's just how he was

just becuase he was into the arts doesn't mean he was fabricated

He could have his own gang in the 90's he had plenty of thugs

You couldn't speak bad on him but as time went on and times change slowly people start to disrespect him

People saw him as a threat he got shot up then got killed

How is the fabricated He got shot by other gangsters that's real gang warfare ....

What are you guys talking about?

Will Smith > Chance The Rapper for squeaky clean Hip Hop ... Chance needs to pay Homage to Will Smith aka Fresh Prince ... Big Willie Style > The Coloring Book

Fuck will

Eh I don't really think fabricated is the right word to describe Pac.

He came from a family of Black Panthers who were really bout that life.He busted his guns to save another Black man's life. Towards the ending of his life he was rollin with legit gangbangers.

I think in the end he really just got in over his head.
