Pete Rock defends ole heads in music and explains why newer artist music don’t get no respect ...

[Peezy_Jenkins]

Gotta respect the old heads, but some of em bitter as fuck. Basic Respect go both ways, if u don't like the music that's a whole nother thing

 

[Serious Juice Mayne]

Fuck Pete Rock

 

[KnowReasonForPeace]

Alot of these new niggas are trash though. No respect for their own lives is a bigger issue though. We wont hear a "peep" about it from them though. They'll just say old niggas hating.

 

[sapp08_2001]

Speaking the truth. Alot of these new so called rappers dont respect the art form. And Pete Rock is right, years from now folks wont even remember these dudes. They'll be treated the same way as they treat the old heads. No kind of originality, majority rap about the same shit, and majority will end up broke.

So I guess according to Pete Rock, all yall old heads did was smoke weed huh?

Gtfoh. Like the Wu Tang wasn't smoking angel dust while having push up contests, Three 6 and UGK were sipping lean, like crack and coke wasn't being smoked by damn near a shit load of rappers in the 80s??

Come on man. Like 80s rappers weren't named after synthetic drugs themselves?

Pete Rock sounds bitter but in reality he actually gives a fuck about the music and culture while these youngsters are constantly shitting on everything he helped build. so ya he got the right to be angry.

It's better he said somethin rather than be quiet bout it. Or fake embrace the shit they doin. Could've gave a better solution than "pay homage" tho. A lot can be done to keep the culture goin in the right direction, just takes ownership on both ends.

If the youth goin wrong at least try to guide b4 u scold

The classic old nigga rant. We get about two of these big ones a year. They usually have alot of truths, however can be picked apart. I'll assume he is talking about "mumble" rap. In which case there is alot of truths to what he is saying, as I find alot of it intolerable, however maybe this is REAL rap to these new niggas. This IS what they WANT to do and have no desire to do it how the "old heads" did it. Maybe they not concerned w rock n roll induction right now n just wanna make music n get they mom's out the hood. I'm sure alot of "old heads" when they started was not concerned w the rock n roll hall of fame either. Some of that mumble rap sound good in the club and has is place.

It ain't random. Waka was on some brazen rant about his generation. PR just defended his generation of music. Rightfully so, because there are some measurable here. Waka was either attention whoring or was off a bean or somethin idk.

 

[qawshun]

What are the new Niggas doing to be respected tho ?? What just cause they made it into the game ?? Maybe because they're junkies. Outside of a few fuck'em

They not listening though. Either they too doped up on drugs or simply do not care about anything.

 

[natural born sinners]

I'm 32 and was heavy into hip hop from 96-2003. I consider that the best era I witnessed. The stuff from today does not compare to the greatness that I heard coming up. So I still listen to alot of it and I still listen to some new rap, however i KNOW I won't see another era like that one. For many reasons that don't even have anything to do with music, so I just find shit I like today n keep it moving. I'll never drive to high school w my best friend and two chicks , while listening to 50 cent Guess Who's back or sit in the backseat of my cousins Honda civic hatchback listening to mobb deep Murda Music on the way to the movies. I had to realize I have to enjoy music today in a present tense, my life don't suck. But nothing compares to listening to "superthug" on the way to the club at 15 years old w a fake ID n no responsibilities.

I don't remember Pete Rock making any beats for Melle Mel, Kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Caz, Spoonie G, Busy B or any of the old school groups when Pete Rock was in the peak of his career.

I mean when Pete Rock was in his prime in the mid-90s I don't remember him reaching out to any old school rappers.

Edit. Actually he produced Down With The King for Run DMC, but there's a lot of groups from the 80s that he could have reached out to.
