Where? When did HipHop/Rap go wrong? For today's music

[Ear2DaSt]

the end of serious rap

mcs use to be more serious and reflect in the music

the more playful it becomes without checks and balances

there is no line you can't cross to go all the way weird with it

not everything should be mainstream but the more weird music got more attention

so that's what get's put out and if your serious you are not really accepted in mainstream

Puff Daddy and the shiny suit era. Hip Hop hasn't been the same since. After that it just went super commercial and it seemed like that gradually led to no more rules. Anything goes

less art, more business

kids started to realize that your talent or art didnt necessarily get you paid or even make you successful, so why go for that?

they can stick to "the script" and be rich and famous

Telecommunications Act of 1996 played a major role.

Yup EVERYBODY played a part. The artists, the fans, the radio, magazines, tv, social media, file sharing etc.

I like where hip hop is at right now

Hip Hop has never been the same since '88

Since it became a lucrative profession theres a misconception

in the movement in any direction as progression

Even though of the potency of it lessens

big money industries writing checks to suppress the question

Honestly?

D4L - Laffy taffy.

 

[damnkp]

[AP21]

"Wrong" is subjective

 

[Ear2DaSt]

Oh so yall wanna go there blaming the South huh? take that take that ....

 

[Ear2DaSt]

actually some of the shit yall really like is silly ...

 

[Ear2DaSt]

You know groups like Wu-Tang innovated some shit and it was funny but cool at the same time but folks copied ...

when u try to copy something not meant to be copied you slopp it up ...you chopp it up and butcher it
