na, what he posted is pure facts



na, the first MC's of hiphop were spitting call and reponse type stuff; nursery rhymes, on par with Laffy Taffy




True. But they weren’t spitting over beats that sounded like Laffy Taffy.
Plus rhyming became more complicated relatively quickly as part of a natural progression.

What does this even mean?

Means the people saying it reminiscent of old school 80s hip hop are wrong becuz this song lyrically and especially beat wise would not have been impressive back then. Like somebody said earlier, look at the Kool Moe Dee and Busy Bee battle.

I don't even think the song is the rap antichrist like most people but this whole "b bu but what about 'Rapper's Delight!'" or (insert random early 80's hip-hop club/dance track here) gotta be one of the dumbest most disingenuous angles I've ever seen on this board. And that's saying a lot.

Once Rakim (and a few others) dropped people stopped rapping like that. All that shyt was considered dead and out dated. So mentioning a style of song....that was considered dead by the end of the fukking decade it originated in....to justify another song damn near 3 decades later....is retarded. Just say you like the song and KIM.

THANK YOU. And honestly. Early 80s shyt was WAY doper than Laffy Taffy. I’m getting tired of this shyt honestly. Now that song is dope and nikkas was hatin? If a Coli nikka dropped that shyt RIGHT NOW nikkas would clown the fukk out of him And I’m not even shytting on the group. I liked some of their shyt. But that song is objectively trash.

they said they were trying to recreate something like the tootsie roll. the song was meant to be fun and dance song. ive never heard the song in its entirety to this day. it wasnt for me but i cant say i have a problem w/ it. there is a place for that in hophop.

...oh, and ebro once again was out of line.
