I've said stuff like this on this board for years...some people roll their eyes when i do. Maybe it'll sink in since it's not me saying it.
Maybe its because this current generation didn't grow up on hip hop :damnyou: :damnyou:
I dont know who you'r talking to, but I think I'm part of the current generation, and you cant tell me I did not grow up with Hip Hop. The firts record's I ever listened to in my life where, next to Aretha Franklin & The Blues Brothers, Mobb Deep & LL Cool J.
I wasnt referring to you but you proved my point nicely. First of all you incorrectly spelt "first." Secondly Aretha Franklin, blues brothers and mobb depp are not hip hop. I grew up on grandmaster flash..melle mel..run dmc..whodini..epmd..krs one..de la soul..tribe called quest..souls of mischief..del the funky homosapian..3rd bass..brand nubian..masta ace..pharcyde.. kutis blow..afrika bambaata..jungle brothers.. eric b & rakim.. public enemy.. heavy d.. freestyle fellowship.. black sheep.. das efx.. digital underground..slick rick.. doug e fresh.. gangstarr.. queen latifah.. ultramagnetic mcs.. salt n pepa.. stetsasonic.. rakim..pete rock & cl smooth.. jazzy jeff n fresh prince..
So I have a different perspective..
and when I listen to the crap that is commercially successful and at the top of the charts.. damn right I'm gonna say.. THAT ISH IS WACK!!!!
