To the fullest. We can even say going to someone else's neighborhood in your own city like Kafani is a no-no too

Other genres have rules?

Other genres have rules?

Hip Hop isn't just a genre though, it's a culture.

I would say anything that starts as a musical expression/activity that either belongs to a greater cultural continuum or creates a culture around it has either written or unwritten rules

 

[Shawn Jay-Z Carter]

Seven eternal rules from the holy rhyme book of Jay-Hova the Almighty

1. No jerseys if you thirty plus

2. Chains is cool to cop but more important is lawyer fees

3. Snitching will cause a lifetime scar and keep you in jail forever. Just minus the bars

4. Dont be a biter, be a writer. Exception to the rule: Me bigging up my brother

5. If you happen to see a trick break her leg, tell her to hop on her good foot

6. Always pass your cup around the room cause thats the ritual. @BigRan I aint forget you fool

7. Never forget what they did to the Cold Crush

'Thou shall not use ghostwriters'

I know one of em better be this. If niggaz writin' yo shit get the fuck all the way out of rap forever fake ass nigga

 

[Ear2DaSt]

I dunno but im not gonna disqualify a rapper for ghost writers

cuz it's something used in the industry some get caught some don't

it's usually the snicky lil fake one that get's away with everything anyway

 

[Ear2DaSt]

I don't like rappers that basically copy from everything hott at the time and used it as their own or slightly switch it up and claim it as their own .... it's usually those lil slick rappers that everyone likes and get's away with everything

that hang around snitches but never get's any dirt on him ...

there are certain rappers that can tell you anything and you believe it like not writing out songs but just freestyle the songs ... smh but people believe anything when they are infatuated with a certain rapper... yeah right

SUC boyz would do freestyles and really made the shit much more popular but u could tell it was real cuz they would make mistakes on a Dj Screw tape ... straight of the top of the dome

Im not saying you can't do a freestyle without mistakes but it aint gonna be just perfect

those type of freestyle most likely is pre-rehearsed

You can do a freestyle or 2 off the top superb az shit

but a whole album off the dome no mistakes no edits? come on dude who you foolin ,,,

oh yeah those krazy infatuated brain washed stans .... not trying to be mean but come on man

 

[THE_R_]

BE YOURSELF

 

[water ur seeds]

BE YOURSELF

I think I will say most of rappers break this rule...

 

[water ur seeds]

Always give props the rappers before you, especially if you borrowed something from them (i.e their flow, lyrics, beats)...

I hate what happen to him an i really hate philthy rich

 

[blackgod813]

He cried on the witness stand when he described Beasley shooting him in the face, chest and legs with a .45mm Glock. He said Beasley just wouldn’t stop shooting.... That dumb shit break my heart :s

 

[Ear2DaSt]

it's ok to be influenced slightly but don't use hott songs and bite it and use it as your own then you come with a hiit off it
