How come Arrested Development is just a footnote in alternative hip-hop?
- Thread starter DrunkerThanAMotherfucker
- Start date
Revolution came on a radio station few weeks ago and it damn near brought tears to my eyes. The song sounds just so soulful and beautifully "black" 
Just flooded my mind of the ending to the Malcolm X movie and the POTENTIAL of rap music.
Not saying all rap gotta be on some super conscious pro black ish but DAMN can we get some balance back.

First album was classic.
When they dropped, there was a lot of gangsta sh*t starting to pop, so they caught a lot of heat for being different. But the first album had a lot of really dope tracks on it. Hip Hop was mad conservative back then, so if you didn't fit in certain lanes, you got clowned. But they were making hybrid sh*t. It wasn't even close to being just Hip Hop. They did soulful alternative type music, with Hip Hop and R&B sprinkled in there. So they were snatching up a lot of awards and acclaim that a lot of the rappers at the time never saw.
That first album was like 7-8x platinum. So they definitely got a lot of hate, at the time. But that was mostly due to ignorance. Speech has always been dope, and the group work was official too. It just wasn't what people expected during a time when street records kinda took over.

Because that album came out over 30 years ago and they never did shyt since 
The rap style can only go so far.
If Speech had mad different styles or if they were a crew of MCs, AD may have been able to go further.

They were different, refreshing, bold, and conscious which makes a lot of Black people feel uncomfortable because it forces them to notice certain things theyd rather not.
Groups like AD, Dead Prez etc will be called wack, preachy etc because the safe space Blacks fear the system and will condemn anything that challenges them to confront or even call it out.
People are too p*ssy, and shun these type acts.

I didnβt like them back then might have to give the albums another chance now that Iβm much older. I do remember a solo Speech song in the late 90s I think. It was dope but I canβt remember it and canβt think of the name
This type of wholesome music will never be promoted by small hat music moguls and their black c00n collaborators. All they want to see is mayhem, death, destruction and degeneracy.
I think these people exhibit group psychopathic tendencies because that is not normal human behavior.

Cats want hypertension style music where constant death and ignorance is pushed.
Crabrat thinking.
"What, you tryna kick knowledge"..
"No medallions, dreadlocks, or black fists. It's just that gangster glare, with gangsta raps.."
