CAC Harlow didn't know Brandy & Ray-J are siblings

Breaking: young person doesn't know things

They way i see it, nobody develops talent in music in a vacuum. They grow up idolizing and emulating someone. They then in turn learn about the people who inspired that artist through them. For example, a person my age may have grown up listening to MJ. and through MJ you'll probably learn about James Brown because MJ idolized him and emulated alot of his swagger.
So for someone to be a big MJ fan and be clueless about James Brown, that tells me you have a very shallow interest in music. being a musician with a shallow interest in music is a sign of a grifter imo. you just found a lane to make money, you not really an artist who loves his art.

Exactly, I remember making my first beat at 17 years old in 1998. I got into hiphop around 1989 cuz of my older sister so I missed a lot of the Golden age era. I missed Run DMC, Slick Rick, Rakim -Paid in Full, Grandmaster Flash etc. I remember joining one of those 11cds for a penny clubs just to buy Slick RIck's albums, BUmRush the Show, Tougher than Leather etc. I would've KILLED to have had Amazon Music or some streaming platform then so I could hear all the shyt I missed without having to pay for CDs.

Thats why this new class that don't know shyt disgust me. It should only be natural for you to want to research wat came before you. I felt insecure as hell being a teenage and not knowing the history of the genre I was doin.

Why u nikkas upset

[Kamikaze Revy]

I still haven't listened to any of the vultures songs....

Wasn't he just carried by 2 black men so he wouldn't get his shoes dirty?

Only song I heard by him was that "what's poppin" joint because it was in Call Of Duty Warzone.
It came in the hip hop bundle which had Ruff Ryders Anthem and Grinding which is why I got it.

Even at 24 I knew who Jimmy Ruffin and David Ruffin were and that they were siblings even though I wasn't alive in the 60s/70s and that music wasn't from my era


Simply because I had an appreciation for music in general and not just what was currently trending


That appreciation for music and history in general seems to no longer exists in the tik tok generation

Exactly

 

[Methodical]

Never heard one of this guy songs and never will

This!

 

[Bud Bundy]

Most people only know Ray-j for the kim k sextape. Only nikkas without cable watched moesha and it’s not like Ray-j was ever a superstar like Brandy.

Wait a minute

Fam Im almost 40 and I promise I dont know who tf Jimmy Ruffin is. And who knows maybe I wouldn’t have known who David was if there wasnt a temptations movie

Y’all trying too hard. He’s young. Young people don’t know shyt. Even ‘Black Twitter’ is full of these types of silly revelations.

 

[Dr. Acula]

I made a thread a while back where I worked with some kids who didn't know DMX was. This was before he died where I think a lot of younger folks may have learned about him.


You dudes have to realize our generation is becoming old school now. Our cultural contemporaries from the 90s is shyt a lot of adults now never experienced and you'll find a lot of them are ignorant of shyt that everyone in our generation was aware of.

Fam I knew all about 70s and 60s artist cuz I was raised in America black culture. I don't understand how all these kids have no familiarity when their parents music

I won't hold that against a listener but a professional musician should know music history. But as @Luke Cage said dude is probably not really a fan of hip hop and is just doing this to get popular. He will probably try to move into acting like Marky mark before him.

 

[Harry B]

There's black artists in his age who don't even know who Brandy is

I have yet to listen to more than 2-3 songs from dude, and probably won't again. But from my impression he just seems wack musically but not a wack person. So let's shyt on him for the right reasons.

 

[I love Latina women]

Is he the new Post Malone?

 

[Secure Da Bag]

I’m pretty sure %99 of cacs under the age of 30 don’t know they’re related.

A bigger revelation would be that they’re related to Snoop.

Wuuuuuut.

 

[xCivicx]

Y'ALL let him in, not me

Post Malone 2.0
