I'm about to say Goodbye to Hip Hop..Its too wack now..Its embrassing

[5th Letter]

So you're saying the fans that went out there way to view Soulja Boy do the Superman or GS Boys do the Stanky Leg were brain washed to do so? Those fans love that wack shit and the labels saw the response they got and signed them and began pushing them. What would solve this problem is BALANCE. Play Do The Dougie and Lupe back to back, play Jay Electronica and then some Pretty Boy Swagger after wards. Give everybody some shine.

Jamaica i told you in another thread a while ago that this day would come to the reason

lol i dont remember what you said exactly.

 

[icame4wo]

Just focus on the positive hip hop, ignore the superficial pop shit.

that's all these dumb f@cks have to do instead of whining that hip hop is dead.

 

[P. Town]

lol i dont remember what you said exactly.

i said the waka flocka and gucci stans were on their way to the reason

@ Bill Dance/Jamaica

The labels for the most part socially engineered this crap. They will pull the plug on an artist who doesn't fit into their scheme in a minute. They will let you have alternative views if your Eminem or Black Eyed Peas, but no one else (see Lupe.)

Even the garbage doesn't usually sell as well as albums carefully crafted by the artist. But labels ain't tryna push that but it can still be found by alternative means, which is the direction that rap music is headed. The scene in my region is actually better due to the majors not being involved on a heavy level.

^this and this site needs mods that really hip hop and the music business. go spend some of that advertisement money and hire some REAL mods.

Smh I remember now.

 

[P. Town]

The real reason today's music is so wack i because its easier for somebody to go buy a lil $100 mic and a recordin program, get a few beats off soundclick, download photoshop and get a serial code and make your own covers and call yourself a rapper, they sellin video cameras with hd quality for cheap, so its easy to make a music video that looks professional, the destruction of hip-hop is all sold at best buy

 

[Hyde Parke]

dont like it? dont listen to it.

 

[hrap-120]

Smh I remember now.

I have two questions for you Jamacia, you seem to be pretty intelligent.

1.) Who are the main consumers of mainstream HipHop??

2.) Wouldnt an intelligent, business-minded record-label promote and market their music toward the main consumers who buy it??

White people and women are the main consumers of hip hop.

SMH, I'm not even comin at you, but what stans? All the threads on the front page bout Waka talk about how dumb he is. Except that one nigga who said, IN HIS OPINION, that the album was shapin up to be a classic. I don't get why niggas think that just because somethin wack to them, that that shit is definitive. Some people actually like Soulja Boy(not me), or whoever else y'all don't like and think is ruining music. I agree, there needs to be more balance, but some niggas just need to realize it's not always gonna be the way they want it. Example: Lloyd Banks is wack to me, but I understand other people like him. If Lloyd Banks was controllin the radio, I just wouldn't listen. And whenever I saw an opportunity to help get some music I like on the radio, whether it's callin up and requesting, goin to shows in support, buyin c.d.'s/merchandise or whatever, I'd do it if the shit meant that much to me.

Correct answer.

 

[playmaker88]

Correct answer.

Buying consumers.. but unlike white people who treat it as music and dispose of it when need bee.. nigga take the garbage to seriously and will fight you over some rappers beef... are talk about the shit like its politics or something important to the enth degree. they might consume "RAP".. i want say hiphop.. but .. NIGGAS are consumed... by "RAP"/ HIPHOP

 

[RuffDraft]

Hmm... goodbye to you. Plenty of great music dropped this year and no it's not on the radio. If you're too lazy to look, then that's your problem.

Kendrick Lamar dropped and not even a whisper in the reason as far as I know...

[video=youtube;xgfY_9rXlZE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgfY_9rXlZE[/video]

His EP is free and it's better than most releases this year.

 

[genocide_cutter]

Just do what i do stick with Horrorcore and old school

 

[musicology1985]

Correct answer.

so you're saying that the majors are totally justified in what they have done to the mainstream of rap music?

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Nigga u a fuckin hater, Flocka dropped some dope shit tho i wouldnt call it a classic.

you niggas just wanna listen to the same old boring ass lyricist all day then go ahead but that shit sounds weak in the trunk n u aint gonna get no hoes attention bumpin shit she aint never heard of befor

i'd bump flocka befor i'd bump any garbage ass ny rapper

From this comment and your user name (Time To Party) it's obvious you're young probably 17-18, naive and stuck on bullshit that's afraid of real life issues that could affect you now and in the future.Your brain probably has been so dumb downed to the point the retardation is your natural high and if you don't feed off it you'll probably go crazy or die.

Kill yourself. Three times.

THANK YOU!

Try to put niggas on to some dope shit, and they sleep. Try to explain why you listen to a variety of music, even if other people call it wack, and "you not a true hip-hop head". SMH.

i feel you, but to me the content is not a problem to me, whether you wanna rap about goin back to help in africa or buyin a new benz i'll listen and love it as long as the words come out creative and from a skilled mouth.

IMO Content/Subject matter is the MOST important attribute to becoming a Legendary Musician. Songs with deep content are timeless,revered and held in high regards for decades as opposed to Lyrical songs with LIMITED Content. Eminem,Big and most of Jay's song are for the moment but Krs 1,Pac & Nas music wil live forever. Case in point, I used to bump 'Ready to Die' more than 'Me against the World' 14 years ago but today 'Me against the World' is my sound track. Records like 'Dear Mama','shed so many tears' are jus timeless introspective shit. Nuthin on Ready to Die is on that level. There's a reason why Bob Marley is the GOAT Musician and not Michael Jackson.
