illogics;2020108 said:I understand where you coming from but what you're saying isn't at all practical anymore. The landscape of our society changed. How many different avenues people can use to connect to one another thru the growth in technology, How easy it is to get your music some kind of recognition just by throwing it on youtube or whatever. The diggin in the crates aspect? Well due to all the new legal issues that come with sampling nowadays, how feasible is this really? I share the sentiment but people gotta realize that some of the fallen aspects of Hip-Hop are due simply to times changing.

genstasia;2055372 said:LOL @ this thread... 90's baby... If yall "Old Niggas" would school the young ones on what real and true Hip Hop is "suppose" to be or what it once was maybe our opinion would matter.... Niggas expect to put a nigga who is 16 on to what once was when they are living it now.... If Hip Hop was so important to u then u would make it ur business to try and help others understand what it was....
And u must not have parents if the ONLY music u had growing up was Hip Hop.... Shit i had a lil bit of everything... James Brown, Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, The Whispers, Patti Labelle, Aretha Franklin, The Temptation, 90's R&B, 80's R&B, Hip Hop, Neo SOul, Jazz, etc......

If u have a younger brother/sister or cousin and the whole time growing up u didnt put them on no music at all then when they turn 16 and say Wayne is the best rapper alive who fault is that really? Them for being influenced by the world around them or u for not schooling them from young?
The older generations never want to take responsibility for anything
In another post you said old heads need to school the youngsters. did you not see me in this thread trying to educate a young brotha and his hard headed ass told the board it means nothing because he read about it all and probably knows more than us old heads that were there living through it? See that's the biggest issue. young heads really don't give a shit what us OGs say. The first shit out their mouth is "you old ass nigga....". It's like when we're all growing up and our parents try to tell us something they already know and we don't be trying to hear it because we think they are just old fashion and don't really know what the fuck they're talking about. But when you get older you realize moms and pops where right on point. Young mofos just don't want to hear it from a old head. Period.genstasia;2055629 said:Education has to start young...

true. They'd rather start a hate thread saying shit like "Rakim is wack", "KRS-One always talking about what real hip-hop is...fuck that old ass nigga", "Why LL think he the GOAT, that nigga aint done shit but make songs for girls", etc. LOL they lost man.talik23;2055698 said:you can school them on hip hop. but u cant sit there and make them listen to what i listen too. i can teach them but its up to them to learn and like i said before they dont wanna listen..... most of them dont wanna listen to krs-one, big daddy kane, eric b and rakim, epmd, brand nubian, leaders of the new school and etc because they feel its to old.

This thread might be backwards. You could argue that if you were born before 1990 and still listen to the radio or aspire to make Hip Hop music you are part of the problem. Hip Hop is supposed to be for young people. Your basically the old head at the party talking about "back in my day we used to walk 60 miles in the snow to school." As much as I enjoy Dre, Puff, and Jay-Z they have a stranglehold on youth culture and look where the genre has gone as they try to stay relevant and dictate trends to kids.
