People still spreading the false "it's mostly white people buying Drakes music" nonsense?

Do any of you even speak to or hang around white people like that? Have you gone to a white party? Are you white?

White people think Drake is corny as fukk. A lot of white people clown him. I think he's a soft corn ball, but I'll still listen to his music from time to time, but most white people I know..don't even try to. They've written him off completely and dislike the fukk out of him.

I've never seen or heard no white person bumpin Drake out their car..but I have non whites ..just sayin.

The same cannot be said today about what rappers come out with, it's usually the same club shyt. So it is that part that puts some people off more than the newer "sound" so to speak. People may be a Chief Keef fan, French Montana or any of these new cats, but you won't see them rocking t-shirts of these artists the way people did in the 90s in places very far from America, and a lot of the fans won't be as familiar with their rappers discography as people back then were. This is because rappers nowadays are more like temporary trends and don't have the longevity artists had back in the 90s, back then if you had one successful album you could expect your second one to be successful too, nowadays your single is what you are depending on, which doesn't guarantee your album will be hot. Technology also influenced this too, so it isn't just the quality of the artists music itself that caused this effect. However you are right, some cats won't even give new artists a chance because they too attached to the 90s sound.

Such falsehood in this post. Sure, there were artists with longevity in the 90s. But a lot of nikkas didn't make it out of the 90s without falling off BIG time. That "if you had one successful album you could expect the second one to be successful too"? I wonder if Das EFX, Black Sheep, Lords of the Underground, Arrested Development, Digital Underground, Luniz, etc., etc. would agree. There's a lot of artists who made some of the most notable hip-hop songs of the 90s, that spent most of the decade dragging along off the strength of their one or two big hit records. And even some artists who are considered iconic, when u look at their careers objectively, really only had a few strong years. Big Daddy Kane is a legend of legends but his greatness goes from 1987 to about 1990. He was "used to be the shyt" status by '92. Slick Rick is a legend unquestionably... because of two classic records with Doug E Fresh and one great album. There are artists who will always be iconic, but it might be stretching it to say all these great artists consistently put out great music back in the day. A LOT of them only have a couple of years to be proud of.

the black community is

that's why hip-hop is in such a terrible state. it's a reflection of the mindset of a broken people. and black are broken. there's no pride in our community, no love for ourselves and those around us. we've become a superficial class of broke pretenders obsessing over material goods we can't even afford.

well, i'll say this because i think that could be another whole conversation. hip hop and rap became a parody. it's like a runnin' joke

 

[Perpetual Beast]

Im a producer/dj and come across real dope hip hop now. Its out there all you have to do a little research. Im a big 80,s and 90,s hip hop fan cause thats what i grew up with but im also a big fan of dancehall,house.new jack swing even some pop songs you cannot just limit yourself with just hip hop.

This. Most rappers and musicians in general are NFL running back status

I fully endorse this thread @stomachlines

 

[untaintedbeats]

this is the problem.. folks were so pre-conditioned to have music put in their lap, they just stopped looking.. i stay digging for music.. theres so much good music out here..

maybe i should put the homie @stomachlines onto game.. seems like #TheRecordBreakingCrew is something he might need right about now..

I agree but thats the thing fam...there was so much goodness in the 90's u didnt have to dig...matter fact...there sites that i have been to and discovered 90's song and artist that i overlooked because of all that 90's goodness

I fully endorse this thread @stomachlines

i won't front though, i heard "gin and juice" a couple of nights ago on the radio and that shyt was nostalgia like a muthafukka

the classics are the classics, even though sometimes it gets old listenin' to them over and over because most of the new shyt is wack but those "old school" albums will probably always have a spot somewhere in my heart

 

[PhonZhi]

Hiphop was PURPOSELY turned to shyt to keep negative images & stereotypes about the black race alive. Its all apart of media propaganda.

 

[Yaboysix]

How u done?whatchu gone go to bruh?country? Maybe pop? Lol








It's all we got

 

[phatphuck]

that 90s vibe and energy is virtually non existent in todays music

forget digging through spotify and all that for gems, i'd probably have to go through 20 pages in the booth before i could find some new music that i would like

 

[Dixon Cider]

hip hop and rap is larry holmes status now and have been since like 97'. this ain't to say it ain't been a few good albums here and there over the past 17 years but it's been few and far in between imo

it continues to get shytter and shytter and the bar continues to get lowered as the years go by to the point where the shytty music comes to be acknowledged as great music, lol. it's a fukkin' a joke now

i'll always have my hip hop and rap albums from the late 80's into the mid 90's (96' to be exact) to go back and listen to on occasion but i'm done with all of this new shyt. hip hop and rap music as a whole equals pure shyt now

lol i tried doing this months ago and I'm still a fiend for it breh. THUGGER brought fresh air

 

[I love Latina women]

lol i tried doing this months ago and I'm still a fiend for it breh. THUGGER brought fresh air

i can't stand the new shyt but i go back and forth with the old shyt. i get tired of the old shyt from time to time just because it's really all i listen to now when it comes to hip hop because the new shyt to me is wack. i don't like none of that shyt by new artists

 

[unseen]

I agree hip hop is done but you're dumb for saying it ended in the late 90s. It started declining just before 2005.

The whole 90s was peaking.
