Made me remember how nice he was when he was with Goodie Mob.

Still funny that 98% of his pop fanbase doesnā€™t know this exists. Plz donā€™t perform for Obama Cee-Lo looks at Common

But yah. Iā€™ve been bumping some Dungeon Fam. ā€œFirst she with the Brothers then she with the Othersā€¦ā€

Hear me out on this. The topics you listed during the 90s era was a bit more realistic an harsh than it is today. As someone that ran the streets, moved dope, and stole cars trust me I can vouch for the ā€˜storiesā€™ I hear. As I said VERY few if any artist today can say oh yeah im on the block hustling my ass offā€¦ no its i got these bricks for sale or i got these brick i gotta moveā€¦damn sure is a lot of traffickers.

no one gives you a downsided storyā€¦ i dont hear i got pinned upā€¦ i got shot atā€¦ 5-0 kickin in my door. no. its nicca we deep an we tossin pineapples in ya car if we see youā€¦really?

Yes I agree there has been themes that continue to go thru the generations but as we progress somethings just aint the same. an as far as your saying hating on artist that ā€˜openedā€™ up hiphop an gave us new themesā€¦ thats not true. EVERY GENERATION has had a slew of artist that took a different path of introduced us as listeners to something NEWā€¦ If not a theme a SOUND that defined a region or lifestyleā€¦ niccas didnt know about ā€œtrappingā€ā€¦ thats a southern thing. Yet Pastor Troy and Outkast were the first to say this term on record an it became a ā€˜thingā€™ or new theme for the dope gameā€¦ again you have to really do your research before thinking a generation is doing something new. you stated youve never hear about rappers spittin about fashion shows an other thingsā€¦ um yeah. Puff an Maseā€¦ an they were hated on at one point as wellā€¦

all im sayin is every era has had the same thingā€¦ nothing new other than the artist an approach along with what had the focus of the mainstreamā€¦ meanin at one point it could be all about gangsta shyt an the party life is lower tier thingā€¦ then it can flip to partyin an dancin an gangsta shyt is kinda faded out for the momentā€¦ when blackstar an dead presidents an BLACK EYED PEAS (yesā€¦ them) were on the black power (ie the public enemy, de la soulā€¦etc. style) movement no one was SERIOUSLY checkin cause the attention was elsewhere (everyone was on how people talked/slang shyt ie Whoa an Ha an Aggressive gangsta shyt by dmx) yet they were introducing new themesā€¦

as unreal an i have stated plenty of times you simply have to search aroundā€¦ that had to be done for every generationā€¦

also your Drake comparing to LLā€¦not a good one. LL handled every point that made a MC/Rapper AND carried himself for two generations. He could hit the ladies and still merk you on the MICā€¦ask anyone that stepped to himā€¦ seriously. Drakeā€¦no. no go. Drake can not will not be able to do such a thing cause he is essentially a R&B that can rap a little. LL was a rapper first. He made sure you knew that from the gate but Rick Rubin and Russell KNEW that can only go so far if you dont appeal to the ladies a little. Look at his ā€˜crooningā€™ songsā€¦ tell me your lady dont love them jointsā€¦Let ā€œDoin Itā€ come on. even in a era where your ass had to sink or swim he maintained a status on BOTH fronts but first an foremost he was noted as a SERIOUS rapper. He rep was you didnt want itā€¦ Drake. Sorry he makes cool songs but I dont see him surviving if he becomes tested an being the generation we are in now with acute ADD an losing touch with the roots of this raps shyt i dont see him going away cause the game is saturated.

I can checkmate you with a whole mixtape and make your argument a wrap thats not even hard to do.

Which means you didnā€™t research thisā€¦see above

What are you trying to say?

You just Jeezy and Wayne were NEW rappersā€¦Wayne has been in the game since I was in high school ('97); Jeezy still makes ā€œhood musicā€ and Will Smith counts, cause he sells records. Also, topic wise, nothing has changed with those 3 artist you named

[LEFT]See, I just want him to have an easy life[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Not like Yeezy life, just want him to be someone people like[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Donā€™t want him to be hated all the time judged[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Donā€™t be like your daddy that would never budge[/LEFT]

LOLā€¦when were you born? As far as I know, everyone still wants Jordans; Dre hasnā€™t put out an album in over a decade. Kayne didnā€™t ā€œstartā€ anythingā€¦

You are obviously stuck somewhere. You really need to research your music. Also ā€˜non-blacksā€™ have been the main purchaser and support than blacksā€¦ I believe the late Eazy E noted thisā€¦ then got a nice letter from Ronald Regan.

Hip Hop has been something for EVERYONE since Suger Hill gangā€¦or better yet our forefather an the god to this shyt James Brown.

What Kanye is doing is a off shoot of Cash Money Records core THEME before he got his start an he was simply a in house producer working with D dot

Rick Ross got people ā€˜stepping they shyt upā€™ is the same shyt Dre and Snoop didā€¦ same shyt the Juice Crew didā€¦

Label name dropping does not equal Kanyeā€¦think you need to pick up a history book of this rap shyt cause ā€˜startin in the 2000sā€™ā€¦ dont think so.

Hip Hop as a culture was networked BEFORE BET, hot 97, or even MTV even ACCEPTED usā€¦ it took us NETWORKING to get the attention.

Seriously you need to research.

imo you cant be a new biggie if your style is heavily influenced by him. hes dope but its clear hes biggie jackinā€¦shit gimme gorilla black or sumtin if we gonna do that.
