I swear I was gonna say exactly what Chuck D said before I saw what he said lol. What’s wrong with sounding like a grandfather? You got the wisdom of a grandfather…use that to educate/help the grand babies. Stop trying to fit in with and placate children when you a grown man…shyt is gross. If you think the shyt is trash don’t stay quiet because you’re scared of looking the age that you are. Blindly accepting anything just because it’s current is corny.

Off topic…Dre a scumbag for beating up women, no passes ever given for it, but bro looks great for his age. Didn’t he just have an aneurysm not too long ago? Salute to him, get in the f’n gym man, works wonders.

Dr Dre is right

It’s really about people trying to control time. You’re not supposed to get it. The majority of your parents didn’t either

It's not about wether I "get it" or not though. I get it just fine, all critiques can't come back down to old heads just don't understand.

There will be scenarios where that may apply but not acrosss the board.

People interviewing these legends have to get more specific with the questions.

"the state of hip hop" is so vague and that's all anyone seems to ask, when there's much better questions to ask in that same realm.

Why is nobody asking these dudes about the labels, lack of ownership, and etc. There's less platforms for Hip Hop artists to get any shine. It's deeper than the music itself.

Nor is the world supposed to stop because you no longer recognize it.

Of course not...who's saying it should?

Some of my favorite songs right now are by guys that could be my kids lol, like seriously. So the world isn't unrecognizable to me in the least. But the things I do recognize about it can't be swatted away with age-ism and "player hater" shyt just because it's critical.

That's exactly how we got to the point we're at, which has PLENTY of negative implications for the artists, the listeners and lastly, to be least considered the 'game'/industry itself. Dr. Dre spends most of his time on Neptune. He's super isolated from even his music industry peers let alone the CROWD, which SHOULD be the most important aspect of the whole equation.

If somebody points up how many reboots, remakes and general overall lack of origonality in movies and television is it because they're just too old to understand how/why movies are made?

:comeon:
