Benny the Butcher not happy with how nerds have taken control of the culture

[Pop123]

I'd rather have a complete 100% nerd takeover than have "the streets" influencing and steering the babies...which it still is despite what this guy is crying about. The nerds who control rap media cover street/gangsta shh!t like crazy, they're infatuated with it too, they just have no firsthand experience so to non-nerds it sounds goofy and makes them sick hearing them, lol. But yeah, I'd rather have 100 Akademiks than 1 Suge Knight in the culture..

Good example of why his career has gone nowhere. Let's be real about something. "The streets" never fukked with Griselda. Their appeal has predominantly been built among white fans who sit around complaining about "real rap" being dead, and the remnants of black fans who also sit around complaining about "real rap" being dead. Those are the people buying the merch and vinyl. And they are the definition of rap nerds and dust rap fans.

The streets are listening to Youngboy, drill, and trap shyt. They do NOT give a shyt about boom bap.

The streets never fukked with Griselda?

Either you're not on the east coast or you don't know anyone street. Damn near every 30+ hood dudes I've come across all listen to them heavy. I've even put a lot those types on to Conway in the early days and years later he's their favorite rapper. They're not listening to NBA YoungBoy or trap like that. That's the YN's not the older heads.

Why you think Wu, D-Block, Dark Lo, Jay, Nas, or the older west coast artists all fukk with them heavy? Griselda are all knocking on 40 and that's their street audience, the older dudes from that same era. You're talking about an entirely different demographic.

The streets might stamp you but they were never the driving force behind commercial success. The "nerds," white kids, females, and outsiders were the ones buying the music. Go to a Wu Tang concert and it's mostly white but the streets never fukked with them?

Benny needs to articulate his point better but half of y'all would've came with the same takes anyway because people are rarely objective on here.

Can you read... NERDS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL

It doesn't say "nerds are rapping about dancing and partying again!"

He's talking about DJ Akadmiks, Aiden Ross, Kai and those internet boys running the game and white nerdy fakkits giving reviews and pushing the culture

Where it used to be you had to go outside and see what's hot... and check with black people who was outside, to see who was hot





How you heard that and thought about rappers rap content is amazing

Can you read?

Everything you just said about how Benny is referencing DJ Akadmiks and those internet boys running the game I already said yesterday in post #30. You literally repeated what I already said.

This confirms you really don't know what you are talking about and you are just saying anything. Here read it again.

Did y'all even listen to the clip posted in the OP? When referencing "nerds" he was talking about how the Twitter voices are a thing now when dictating the culture in comparison to when the performance of the artist in the streets determined who had real merit. He's refereing to the DJ Akademiks types.

YES!! nikkas thought Will was "Fresh Prince" and soft and wouldn't cuss.... Like the nikka wasn't still having to live in Philly and do shows in the 80s in hole in the wall hip hop clubs

I'm from Philly.. Ask how Will Smith used to get busy out there. Ask why him and Jeff never been touched. Ask why he's seen as soft and corny but nobody ever touched him... Look at Charlie Mack's IG and see how many people show him love and respect. nikka was "security" and still "manages" Will at 50


That was the point... And that's Will Smith. You got these nerds who never been outside talking bout "Yea he a real goon. His team committed 15 murders last week. He a real nikka!!" - signed by some 21 white boy from New Hampshire

Again, Will Smith was not a street dude. I already said yesterday in post #77

Fresh Prince said out his own mouth he had a kid who beat him up in high school arrested. Street dudes aint doing that.

Here's the video of him admitting that he ratted after getting beat up in school. No retaliation, no get back. No Charlie Mack doing shyt. Will got beat up and told the principle, told his dad and told the police and dude got arrested. Will Smith was not a street nikka

There's still a lane for street rappers but they don't make songs that the masses of casual listeners will gravitate to. The only recent exception was Pop Smoke. Benny et al should focus on how 50 and Pop crafted hooks and songs.

nikka you in here giving out your post numbers and what YOU said as gospel.. You are the nerd they are referencing... Bringing up SCHOOL tattling to say he wasn't street. Where you think these shows and battles and events happened?? In the philly burbs... No charlie mack... nikka you was NOT outside. Will got a whole song about how Charlie would put you in the ground if you fukk with him.



You trying so hard to argue against yourself. I'll stick to what Benny was saying. These nerds and dudes who was not outside, are the ones telling you who's hot and what's going on in the street and pushing the music the labels tell them to. Not the DJ's, rappers and media before, that had to be outside, IN THE STREET, to lead this charge..

But since you already said everything I said, then you agree with everything I said... Thank you.

 

[Ducktales]

fukk them old ass cocaine raps.

 

[Plankton]

Me already saying a day prior what you are now saying a whole day later because you didn't read everything I posted, further confirms you really don't know what you are talking about and you are just saying anything.

After 6ix9ine I dont know how anyone takes "the streets" serious anymore. Gave a full on pass to a dude who was basically parodying them,then broke the so called "street" code by informing and still managed to somewhat salvage his career.

[maxamusa]

Are you dumb. B.E.N.N.Y. was out during the height of the mixtape era.... When everyone was outside from the rappers, to the DJ's to the media

them shyts must have never left buffalo

That wasn't a street dude.

But this goes back to people not really knowing what the streets are. Nobody in the actual street took that clown seriously. It's only the outsiders who actually thought that bozo was street-based or reared. Real street n*ggas understand that that dude wouldn't last 5 mins in the real streets. So the streets should always be taken seriously, but they ain't gonna be seen in losers like that bum.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Another idiot who didn't get the message... "This is so cringe"

Yea... again... nothing to do with the point.. The nerds in hiphop wasn't existing. You checked the Source... DJ's... Clubs... Women.... Or went to the club yourself

You wasn't a nerd in Idaho, talking about "yea I'm the go-to for hip hop news" and it was some loser on his computer in a basement telling the world what's HOT, who's snitching and what gang wars is going on.... that is BENNY's point

dj's are the biggest music nerds. you are the one who didn't get the point you naming nerd gate keepers from day one. dj's

mixing, scratching, blending, knowing all the breaks. super music nerd shyt

embrace being a nerd don't fight it. the more hip hop tries to be the streets the less real it is. how ironic is that?

Some dust rap fans in their 30s listen to Griselda? That's what I said lol. Those are usually white dudes, with some black dudes thrown in. The type of black guys who....post on a rap forum. That's not the streets.

The streets are young dudes getting active out there, who often dictate a lot of where general rap culture goes. They do NOT fukk with Griselda on any level.
