The streets really don't have anybody right now.

[smokelahoma]

The streets don't need rappers for guidance...The fuck...

really? couldve fooled me. there must be a reason that the streets copy every rapper with a new brand of clothes on or a completely new style all together. they also take any new slang that a rapper makes up and uses it in everyday vocabulary. but yeah, u right. they dont need guidance lol

The problems for years is that the "streets" had too much say so in the rap community. Now the element that we glorified for years is KILLING us and putting on you tube to show!!! We as black people are more than the streets and a lot don't relate to the ignorance anymore. Now the people that relate to that "street" shit are the people that are actually in the streets or the wannabes in the suburbs that find it "exciting."

Also.......YOU MUTHAFUCKAS SOUND THE SAME!!!!!! If you goto worldstarhiphop.com all the "street" rappers from any hood in the U.S. and they using the same beats and talkin bout the same shit!!!!!

Yup, the "streets" killed the concept of individuality and brainwashed people. Back in the day, the "streets" even dictated how a person walked and talked. Now that the streets influence is waning, people getting mad that black kids of today are thinking for themselves.

They had Plies until they found out he was a valedictorian and went to college...Isn't that supposed to be a good thing?

Now they have Sosa, Reese and them.

Nah. They rap from a street perspective but most of the hood ain't feelin' them. I think t/s is talking more of a Jeezy, DMX, 50 Cent, Death Row and the list goes on.

Tbh i think the closest is TDE, believe it or not. Only difference might be that they don't carry that street persona i suppose that they can relate to.

 

[bigrizz]

Artists end up trying to be too street and get checked or have limited subject matter. There is no scarface type that can keep his integrity there no more reality rap....Its all about the dollar now sooner or later. Or you wont make it to a large audience

 

[NoCompetition]

There's still plenty rap about the streets/trappin, etc. Mostly from the South but anybody knowledgable about rap know its plenty rappers rappin bout "the streets". The thing is, the streets are different. from like the 90s to like 08, everybody wanted to trap and "be in the streets". (luckily i knew better ahead of the curve). Now, it dont have the same luster. Its music people listen to in their rides, the club, and stuff. Its more entertainment than "the voice of the streets" because the culture is different today.

 

[RichPorterOfTheIC]

Doesnt matter The streets don't buy albums anyway.

White fans that buy and attend concerts>>>>>>>>the streets

 

[SnuffDaddy]

At the end of the day everybody in here acting like y'all know why the streets ain't got nobody.

At the end of the day it's just that the street doesn't have a sound & the whole 9. That's it. That trap shit is old & is overused by everybody. Death Row came with a sound, Wu-Tang came with a sound, Ruff Ryders came with a sound, 50 came with a sound, Jeezy came with a sound etc.

Then after that it's the story, look & the whole 9. The game switches all the time.

@RichPorterOfTheIC

Are you trollin' or an idiot? How can you make that assumption? On what basis? Bootleg? Well, there's download. Are you saying 50's fans weren't mostly white? Are you saying that most Wu-Tang fans today aren't white? Who you think went to NWA shows back in the day?

I hate when people make that cop-out. The grass is greener on the other side shit that black people always do. There's more white people than black people in the states, so that assumption isn't even fair to say.
