Is "What They Do" the most pretentious Hip Hop song of all time?

It just seems like alot of alternative Hip Hop groups gave off this vibe


I think A Tribe Called Quest and Common might be the only in this genre to put out pure music and never lifted their nose up at other types of Hip Hop


Not gonna lie though, this Roots songs bumps, amazing production :whew: :banderas:

I think it's interesting that roots dropped this and de la dropped stakes is high in what I consider the best year ever in hip hop album wise lol. I keep this in mind whenever I wanna call the current gen of music ass. oldheads were calling my favorite music ass too

Lost generation, fast paced nation
World population confront they frustration
The principles of true hip-hop have been forsaken
It's all contractual and about money makin'
Pretend-to-be cats don't seem to know they limitation
Exact replication and false representation

You wanna be a man? Then stand your own
To emcee requires skills; I demand some shown
I let the frauds keep frontin'
And roam like a cellular phone far from home
Givin' crowds what they wantin'
Official hip-hop consumption, the fifth thumpin'
Keepin' ya party jumpin' with an original somethin'
Yo, I dedicate this to the one dimensional
No imagination, excuse for perpetration
My man came over and said, "Yo, we thought we heard you"
Joke's on you; you heard a bitin'-ass crew
, but um

Never do what they do, what they do, what they do

Thin is the line that run between love and hatred
The game is ill-natured; it's nothing sacred
Aiyyo, it's funny when I see some rap nikkas due to make it
A few'll blow up, or go as far as they can take it
