star is such a cornball
I understand respecting the legends. I believe anybody who calls themselves a hip hop head should do the history and familiarize themselves with the origins of the culture. Listen to a little of everything, expand your horizons... GET CULTURED.
With that being said, I think we need to kill the notion that any of these pioneers opinions' are the end-all and be-all of what HIP HOP is. Hip Hop was around before any of us knew who Lord Jamar was. You don't hear Kool Herc and Afrikaa Bambaataa claiming to be the gatekeepers of the fukking realm of hip hop, and they're the ones who started the shyt. Jamar is entitled to his opinions just like anyone else, but what gives him the final say (in EVERY interview he does) as to what is and isn't hip hop?
Above all that, this shyt was LOADED with contradictions from both of these cats; Lord Jamar gets heated and threatens physical violence on Yelawolf for 4 minutes straight then says "I'm not even emotional about it, like, it's nothing to me." But everything you've said for the last 4 minutes screams otherwise! This dude called himself "an elder statesmen of hip hop"... this isn't how someone repping that should carry themselves when dealing with a younger person. THAT hurts hip hop; THAT is disrespectful to hip hop.
Then you got Star looking drunk and coked out of his mind with this eloquent jewel: You're saying this in a YouTube video interview with DJ Vlad's gossiping/instigating-ass, are you serious?! So this is the message to the kids? Swing on me or shoot at me if you want my respect?!
How the hell are you gonna teach the youngsters about respect and carry yourself like either of these dudes did in this interview? I don't know if we're all watching the same thing, but it seems to me like they both promoted ignorance and violence much more than knowledge and understanding. Some of the older heads need to stop defending shyt just off "GP" and not be intimidated to call a legend out on their bullshyt.

People dissing Brand Nubian and the foundations of where this culture started and elevated shows me that in 10 yr.s HipHop may be all Mac Millers and Macklemores and black folks gonna get a pat on the back and paragraph in the history books. 1. While there are chapters on these others........Don't believe me just watch Nikka nikka nikka........LOL
you are what bullshyt is in physical form, chu gooflame bytch,...
art barr

when you disrespect someone culturally,....
what do you expect to be met with.
the problem with people critical of hiphop is,..
they don't understand it is a culture.
you can't go to the indian raindance ceremony and disrespect the ceremony.
then, expect to leave with your scalp intact,....
it is as simple as that...
if you disrespect a muslim...
the quran tells you,....
don't let a man spite your face,...
allah will forgive you if you do not act violently.
yet, you are allowed to respond with lethal force.
that is is in the quran...so what are you saying....
oh,..nuffin...
you were just ranting and allowing someone to continually mock the culture.
undermining, the actual people who made it so you could have your entertainment.
yet, no regard for our culture, while you are entertained.
art barr
oh,..have you ever heard of the Zulu nation..
if you haven't..you need to check up on them.
as they are and been the protectors of this shyt, since its inception.
I almost expected this type of reply out of you, but going the ad hominem route isn't gonna phaze me this time, breh. I'm not "undermining" shyt or "allowing" shyt for that matter; I'm speaking directly to the content of this video. Put the Yelawolf video and the Lord Jamar/Star video side-by-side and tell me, reasonably and honestly, which is a bigger mockery of the culture.. ESPECIALLY if you're considering both of their positions in the culture; one being a pioneer and seasoned vet, and the other a rookie. This shyt right here is embarrassing.
dawg,...you said afrikka bam,...does not protect the culture, breh.
again,....that is some toy shyt.
to not know who the Zulu nation is...
like seriously,...
remember where you are.....
if you would have made a post that did not include your ignorance.
I would have nuffin to say to you.
you are the one who is faking jax, and when called on it,...you bytch up.
art barr
nope
fase said:You don't hear Kool Herc and Afrikaa Bambaataa claiming to be the gatekeepers of the fukking realm of hip hop, and they're the ones who started the shyt..
this is what you said about afrikaa bam, and also,..herc has always been a protector.
do you know who dj Hollywood is?
you don't know this culture and you never did.
so, stop trying to front for the camera.
you ain't never been to a Zulu nation anything......
you don't even know who the Zulu's are.
yet, you want to make claims that are not true.
then, act like I am the one with the problem.
when you don't know anything culturally relevant to hiphop.
plus, accuse the pioneers in the old school way of thought.
of, not actually being a protector.
you are out of order, breh.

The irony of course being that you are completely off topic and saying I'm "fronting for the camera" all while defending two salty dudes for doing exactly that.
wtf,..
chu a tweak artist,...b!
what are you talembout,...who are the two salty dudes, I am defending.
chu a clown,...you don't know shyt about hiphop and that has always been the case.
you brought up herc, and africka bam trying to make a point and failed, in epic proportions.
trying to talk about herc, and Africa bam...
then, don't even know who Zulu nation is,....
or the instance, of herc/Hollywood.
just stfu, breh.....

You're a clown. Bottom line.
