What Does An Artist's Background Have To Do With Their Music?

[P. Town]

it's hard for me to listen to you with or without music if you're full of shit or kissing another grown ass man. I can't, it's something mentally in my brain that switches off and can't give a dam about a word you have to say. Whether you sitting in front of me talking or on a cd.

[Turfaholic]

If you dont listen to someone because of their background or some shit they did 20 years ago your a dummy......unless they come out the closet.

so youre admiting youre a grown ass man who still listens to fairy tales?

Rap Is The Ghetto's CNN - Chuck D. Now take that statement and ask yourself, do you take mediatakeout seriously as a media source? A lot of these niggas are media takeout ass niggas, but when you really want to know something. You go to a credible news source.

This is exactly how I see it...the key word is AUTHENTICITY...and there is none with today's rappers. Even if they hyperbole a little it should be authentic to the point they participated in whatever negative past they been in whenever they spitting..

That's the problem...too many Hollywood rap ass niggas.

 

[esco soprano]

Take Wayne or Rick Ross for example

They may have questionable pasts

But the music they put out is quality

How can anybody deny the fact that they are the two biggest rappers right now

It all goes back to the origins of hiphop.....back then it was super important and you had to be who you say you were. Niggas would pull your card in a heartbeat. Authenticity was the most important thing back then and into the 90's. It went away in the millenium for some reason. Now its all about the money....nothing else.

thats the reason why everybody and they mama wasn't rappin in the 80's and 90's(like they do now), that shit was a lifestyle. you couldn't just come out and say anything like you can now, cause you had to be who you say you was.

But all of rap isnt like that. Nas's "Rewind" isnt real, its a fairy tale and dope as fuck.

i don't think he saying everything should be a biographic documentary type song, but if it aint comming from a credible source, what the fuck is you listening to? why listen to a nigga spew some shit he knows nothin about? why? cause he say it in a good way? thats wild.

LOL quote of the day and 10000000000000000000000000000000% agree...

 

[mc317]

Rick Ross C.O. but doesn't pay the Real Freeway Rick Ross to use name and personal history

Calvin Klein had Jay Z as his coke mule

Its music/entertainment homie. Who cares If he dont know what he's talking bout, If it sounds good why should I care what or how he came about it? I aint trynna be that nigga friend, I just wanna hear the music. Most of the greatest musicians of all time are weirdo's(Jay, Em, Pac, MJ, George Clinton), I dont give a fuck what they do in their spare time just give me something to bob my head to. If you a fan and take these niggas seriously then thats a you problem.

 

[H-Rap 180]

I'm cut from a different cloth than a lot of dudes, I'm an actual man.

I don't need a role-model, father-figure, or hero when I listen to music. I want some slick poetry and a beat that knocks.

I don't care if Nas Escobar was really flipping kilos, or if Biggie Smalls had 100 bricks, I don't care if JayZ lost 92 bricks, I don't care if Rick Ross knew Noriaega, and I truly don't care if Styles P committed 450 unsolved murders.....because street-poetry dosent have to be a criminal confession for me to enjoy it.

Squares and geeks have to get their street-science from rappers which is why they are so fascinated with the Street-Cred of these rappers who manipulate their stupidity and corniness by selling them crafted images.

 

[HipHopFiend91]

its music nice beats and good lyrics are what i'm looking for. really don't care what they did to be quite honest.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

I dont care about the person i care about the music the music makes the artist.

you guys should quote me on that.
