I'm on one

[Big Mel]

This is how you do it correctly. On some hip hop shyt. Fundamentally.


Recognize real, uncut skill when u see it. Even if its not your twist. I don't rock with southern shyt like that but Mystikal made videos upon release that let me know he's a top 2 percentile, authentic talent.

fukk with him. Bolster him. Encourage that mannie fresh idea.

Secondly. And very important. Be at least aware of the stakes. Understand and respect the blood sport, impoverished, last ditch innate life saving aspect that rapping allowed to otherwise voiceless, charming and brilliant hood cats. This industry shyt is NOT THE MOVE. Once u try and dress up raw talent u lose. We all lose. Raekwon ain't industry friendly....at all. Fat, short, ugly, wore goofy specs etc.

20 years later he's just a notch below Nas on the rap radar and still as unique as ever.


Yeah I'm rambling. I have jewelry though.

Now, allow MC's to not be perfect ass rhyme book ass on paper ass soul devoid robots. This is FEELING MUSIC. How the fukk we strayed from that I'll never know. 2pac is the god fr feeling and emoting. Wasn't no fans worried about technical aspects of emceeing back then at all. Unless you were a future torch bearer who had that potential like a Nas a Pun, even Busta Meth type. A Rick and rock or MOP type. The truly gifted ones who HAD to get scientific with rhymes to truly further the sport. Shout out to Juice and our very Arthur Barr. Em too.

Rants all day!!!!! I deserve it!

Canibus and wiggers like Apathy are the flip to the studied coin. No connection to the culture at all. You can punk MC's like that easy. And it happened to them all mostly. Toys get played. Something that pick up play with and put down.

Lastly. Don't get mad at the old guard. It's natural to rebel and pole your chest out, even if its wild bird like and glass like. But understand us older cats truly have demonstrated unwavering, borderline obsession with this thing here. We love when it's done right. Like love love. shyt is our entire existence fundamentally. We're coming up on 15 plus years of the culture being invaded, marginalized, abused and snuffed out. Still here. STILL HERE!

Young Jeezy is a first ballot hall of famer. E-40 is a lyricist, Kanye West is the second coming of judas, puff daddy's evil successor,

Blah blah blah. Oh, and sometimes you have to put hands on people. Bit Dont always talk about it.

And put me on to that J Futuristic wave. I feel that's the only living scene.

 

[RescueRonny]

thats a good rant from the heart

 

[cheek100]

the shyt just changes with time like everything else.. just like your parents was prolly hating hip hop because their idea of 'good music' was a group of guys playing different instruments on one accord; and now its just a few cats talking in about 'a hippety hoppety, dont stop the rock -ahyeee YA!
hip hop is worldwide now and its never gonna be the way it was in the 90s
deal with it
good rant tho

Nice to see someone ranting without unwarranted arrogance on here.

My mom was 21 when she had me and part of that very liberal, post hippy mindset. My mom put me on to flash, mellow melle and shyt from her own radio dubs. And she had fakkit friends who stayed up onisic like culture club and shyt. My moms is white and goofy as hell but wild love able.


It was MY interest in music that took over in 83-84. I didn't even call it rap or hip hop. I called it "breakdance music". I can't even begin to articulate how once in a lifetime those formative years were.

And anyone's age knows, in 1985, literally overnight, brothers stopped breaking. I recall clear as day. Because this was the coolest aspect of the culture. One day, no more breaking. Done.

1985.

I seldom agree with you but I like your style of post here.

 

[Kid Coli]

were you ever a producer or rapper Big Mel?

no hate, but you come across as a failed and bitter musician / artist of some sort but please correct me if I'm wrong...

 

[phatphuck]

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I seldom agree with you but I like your style of post here.
