Melle Mel Calls Out Jay Z, Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole For Not Connecting To Hip Hop History

[BobOblah]

"I know for a fact that J. Cole or Kendrick Lamar or Rick Ross or Jay Z or any of these cats, they would not have done it, ever,"

How do you know that. Some of those dudes give props to the pioneers

Don't care

 

[BDBIID]

Connecting to hip hop history ≠ collaborating with you personally.

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Thought this said meek mill at first, was about to say this dude on a roll

 

[NothingButTheTruth]

He's right, we need to look out for the pioneers who started this shit. If I was a new artist, after I got on, the first thing on the list would be to hit up the pioneers for a feature on some 80s meets the new school shit.

I hate to say I told you so, but I did.

 

[A$AP_A$TON]

These old niggas boy. Hip hop should do like the NFL does and set up a fund for all the old rappers when they out the game.

These old niggas boy. Hip hop should do like the NFL does and set up a fund for all the old rappers when they out the game.

Trust me, when you're 40 you'll wonder what happened to the MCs you listened to in high school.

 

[Shizlansky]

This why ppl ignore older artists

 

[(ob)Scene]

This isn't for Melle Mel to say. He's essentially asking for people to toot his horn which is questionable behavior.

 

[Stew]

Feelings.

 

[D0wn]
