Way to many so-called Hip Hop scholars on this platform with pretty much zero depth of knowledge on the topic, yet they continue to subject us all on who was the greatest this or that or whatever topic of bullshit is trending on here that day.
People gotta stop trying to rewrite history on all sides man
- Pac & Biggie was exactly what everyone say they were
- Hov definitely rap hip-hop alongside Nelly, Eminem, & DMX in they time
- Wayne legit had a run like no other and made everyone respect him
- It was always a Big 3 (Dot, Cole & Drake)
- Wale, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Future, ASAP all was legitimately in the conversation as well
- Kanye was something we never seen
- Young Chop & Chief Keef birthed and changed the sound of music is so many ways
- Young Thugs influence (yes came from Wayne) but he had a lot of copy cats too
This is why Hip-Hop is so called dying cause instead of celebrating those who laid the groundwork or even those who contributed to the culture we rather do a whole
“Who listened to?” “You know XYZ was never” etc etc
We used to be able to enjoy the lyricism of Common but still turn up in the club to Lil Jon & never compared the too or put them against each other and now…everything is a versus no matter what and it’s either one side or the other….thats crazy AF
We can’t even let legacy artist do they thing, it’s always “too old” but in every other genre, longevity and age thrives and flourishes
I really want us to be better, I don’t want the culture I love so much to die, but this train is moving so damn fast towards an end and it seems like nobody cares to stop it
It pains me to say, but I shall no longer be buying #sneakers at the rate I have been for the past 30 odd years.
Something has changed & it isnt nearly as fun & innovative as it once was.
@KingCrab1984 Skateboarding doesn't need to cater to anybody, its one of those rare artforms/cultures where you have to live it to understand it.
Skateboarders aren't concerned with whether casual bystanders understand it or not.
You need to understand that.
