@RanWithThePlan@asherdgreat@3LMthree@Watson3172 At the foundation of it that's an art and what you described is a part of the craftsmanship of that said art. Preferring a different style and aesthetic is one thing, however there is no way to seperate rapping from art because of what one chooses to focus on.
@RanWithThePlan@asherdgreat@3LMthree@Watson3172 People always say this only when it comes to hip hop. If people do what specifically is unique to hip hop you people try to disqualify that as art unless it has more "traditional" elements of music.
We argue dumb shit amongst ourselves in the hip hop community, but don't have that energy for these streaming platforms or social media companies exploiting artists. Criticism towards them many times gets flipped on the person making the critique with a lazy/flawed response.
If you've had it with the non profit industrial complex, the military industrial complex & the neoliberal duopoly, help Kshama defeat a leading proponent of genocide! https://t.co/xR9a705qr1
@KingVikingVolt@MUSICANDBUILDS This is false. People like you only acknowledge industry shit like that's all that is and is if they actually respect the culture.
This is a different time. Blacklisting is sucker shit. All the dudes who be doing that shit couldn’t wait to get in a space where they can to it to someone else because it was as done to them. Then they kiss the ring of the person who did it to them. The oppressed becomes the oppressor!
Some of my favorite MCs are left the game in complete obscurity and never got their just due. I wish my G Darkstar was still rhyming....his energy and overall artistic philosophy was well put together. I have unreleased music from him that still holds up today.
