"Im from the hood so my opinion on rap matters the most"

[Peter Parker]

Ooohhhhh I barely read what son said, he was saying, the sound was influenced by Bone Thugs my bad @Art Barr we all take L's

But still that sound bone was on started in Memphis, and yeah it had hella influence on Luger but the actual sound is apples and oranges, Luger sounds mad different

 

[DaveyDave]

Nah those random Chicago nikkas, that shoulda been obvious, besides i mentioned other parts of the south as influences

Whether Luger was listening to Snypaz and Do Or Die (who were signed to Rap-A-Lot by the way) or not, the fact is some people did so they had influence on other producers and rappers so Luger wasn't the single influence on the trap sound

 

[Ciggavelli]

Lex Luger's hi-hats changed the game. That's a fact. He knows he was influenced (he even said so when he was doing that shyt with Juicy J, saying I used to listen to three 6 when I was a kid).

To not see lex's humongous influence is outrageous. Like somebody said before, he had other genre's fukking with his style. Almost every big name hip-hop producer tried his hi-hat shyt.

He's the most copied producer in the last 5 years.

Fact is, that no one other but 808 Mafia are actually evolving their sound ( and I think you forget Sizzle's part, they were together since day 1) , while the other copycat muthafukkas still making 2010 beats

sound like a white middle class neighborhood

Act like Eastside long beach ain't full of koreans and mexicans breh

When we let the burbs in hiphop as a culture died.

exactly.

we let them in, only for them to prop up a bunch of weak rappers and rewrite our history books.

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

Luger aint never heard of none of those dudes, he started the trap sound, its the logical continuation of the ATL Crunk sound, which garnered influences from all over the south, maybe there's some artists in the past that were similar or whatever, im not doubting that, but im like 98% sure Luger never heard of none of those guys and the trap sound is something he pretty much originated

c'mon B, shawty redd and zaytoven been doing that trap shyt since the 90's. Jeezy has trap shyt that predates the early 200's

 

[GetInTheTruck]

To you, maybe, but not to the industry. Hip-hop doesn't have a dedicated underground that is relatively independent of the mainstream the way something like punk rock does. Hip-hop's underground is still tied to the mainstream. The mainstream of hip-hop is marketed towards the majority, which of course is the white, non-hood audience. Their opinions are the ones that fuel the industry, that decide which singles get pushed, which artists flop, which trends rise and fall.

So pretending hip-hop belongs to the hood is ok if you want to make yourself feel better, but it has no bearing on the reality of things right now. Hip-hop stopped belonging to the hood in the late 90s, if not earlier.

When we let the burbs in hiphop as a culture died.

Then hip hop has been dead from jump street. Run DMC, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys were all from the burbs. The burbs were huge supporters of hip hop's most controversial and important acts. So nah. Hip hop culture died when we let it die and put shyt like image and street credibility ahead of music.

Zaytoven doesnt sound like Lex, and Lex doesnt sound like Zaytoven.Shawty Redd...Lex himself said he was influenced by him, but still, different sound.

thats not the type of suburbs that we're talking about dog.

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Why not just say "white people" then....

 

[Wacky D]

Why not just say "white people" then....

it should be understood. plus we dont want to alienate the quality white posters that actually do know their chit.

plus, theres alot of black posters on this board that might as well just be white and call it a day.

 

[NvrCMyNut]

I don't just mean white people. I mean shyt like this;





The moment the climate in the culture shifted away from it's urban origins it died.

 

[Blackout]

Hip hop died when we let those outside of the Hip Hop culture have opinion on the matter.

Take the Grammy for example. When Macklemore won people were mad. Why get mad when we shouldn't even be giving them credibility whatsoever. Grammys is filled with old most likely racist white people who don't give a fukk about hip hop therefore their opinions and votes are irrelevant to hip hop as a whole.

We all should of laughed as a whole and agree that nobody gives a fukk about the Grammys which is the truth.
