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

Still funny that 98% of his pop fanbase doesn’t know this exists. Plz don’t perform for Obama Cee-Lo looks at Common

But yah. I’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€˜stories’ I hear. As I said VERY few if any artist today can say oh yeah im on the block hustling my ass off… no its i got these bricks for sale or i got these brick i gotta move…damn sure is a lot of traffickers.

no one gives you a downsided story… i dont hear i got pinned up… i got shot at… 5-0 kickin in my door. no. its nicca we deep an we tossin pineapples in ya car if we see you…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€˜opened’ up hiphop an gave us new themes… thats not true. EVERY GENERATION has had a slew of artist that took a different path of introduced us as listeners to something NEW… If not a theme a SOUND that defined a region or lifestyle… 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€˜thing’ or new theme for the dope game… 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 things… um yeah. Puff an Mase… an they were hated on at one point as well…

all im sayin is every era has had the same thing… nothing new other than the artist an approach along with what had the focus of the mainstream… meanin at one point it could be all about gangsta shyt an the party life is lower tier thing… then it can flip to partyin an dancin an gangsta shyt is kinda faded out for the moment… when blackstar an dead presidents an BLACK EYED PEAS (yes… them) were on the black power (ie the public enemy, de la soul…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 themes…

as unreal an i have stated plenty of times you simply have to search around… that had to be done for every generation…

also your Drake comparing to LL…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 MIC…ask anyone that stepped to him… seriously. Drake…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€˜crooning’ songs… tell me your lady dont love them joints…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 it… 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 didn’t research this…see above

What are you trying to say?

You just Jeezy and Wayne were NEW rappers…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]Don’t want him to be hated all the time judged[/LEFT]
[LEFT]Don’t be like your daddy that would never budge[/LEFT]

LOL…when were you born? As far as I know, everyone still wants Jordans; Dre hasn’t put out an album in over a decade. Kayne didn’t ā€œstartā€ anything…

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

Hip Hop has been something for EVERYONE since Suger Hill gang…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 up’ is the same shyt Dre and Snoop did… same shyt the Juice Crew did…

Label name dropping does not equal Kanye…think you need to pick up a history book of this rap shyt cause ā€˜startin in the 2000s’… dont think so.

Hip Hop as a culture was networked BEFORE BET, hot 97, or even MTV even ACCEPTED us… 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 jackin…shit gimme gorilla black or sumtin if we gonna do that.
