Bullshyt, the OG's are saluting this because it is a reflection of the times. This is a street kid, making street rap. Same way Nore was a street kid making street rap. Every car in New York has this playing, Newark fukking with this, Hartford... but nah we should ignore it because of your out of date ass? fukk u... shyt fukk me really.
This is great music, because it's a time capsule and it's polarizing.
This is the exact reason i think hip hop REALLY need's sub genre's now. Too many narrow minded individuals water down the purpose of the music. It's a reflection of urban youth/culture... theres no right way or wrong way to do it. There is no wack... It's just whatever YOU personally relate to that is what it means to YOU... shyt is just like religion b. There are some kid's/adults who like it and can see it for more than just the face value. Some like the dance. Some feel the music and it's ALL ok.
Bobby Shmurda has just as much a place in rap as Jay Elec, Migos, or Iggy Azalea... just enjoy the culture. Stop trying to define people. The culture needs diversity. For every Joey Bada$$ in the classroom doing his work, there's a little bad nikka not paying attention throwing paper at the teacher and that's Bobby Shmurda. They styles reflect that. nikkas expressing himself. Let him tell his story. You just seeing a dance, he's not "real artist" all this dumb shyt. fukk all that...
You got to take a step back and just appreciate what this music represents. That's what art is about. Keith Haring, Basquiat, however u wanna flip it they gave u a portrait of there time. And Soulja Boy, D4L, Nas, Cormega, Gorilla Black, Trick Trick, E-40 whoever. They just giving u there time and life story how they see it. Either u relate or u don't. But there is no good or bad.
Narrowmindedness kills the culture. That's why EVERYBODY can't be on TV. Mr. Muthafukkin eXquire aint commercial but Kendrick is... but really they both talking about the same shyt, different approach, but its the same shyt... X- Clan used to tour with MC Hammer... let that sink in. When nikkas separate it, that's what kills it. They all different colors in a crayon box... use the ones u like and move on... stop being a fukking hater. U saying he should give up on his life cause u don't deem him relevant. U a sucker for that.
