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

I didn’t find it pretentious. It was more earnest.

Black Thought is a world class MC, he made it work


I never realized how much drama and bullshyt that video started within the industry. Nas was pissed. Puff was pissed. Biggie was pissed. A lot of mainstream rappers felt like they were being mocked. That video amongst other things really drew a line between mainstream and underground rap.

U dap my post a hour ago and u reply a hour later with that weak ass shyt

Common literally had a beef-starting record lamenting hip-hop's direction...

Yes he did...

Common ended up selling out himself when he started wearing Crochet Pants and making the album "Universal Mind Control".

 

[Rasille]

How is that worse than what NWA started??

The Roots addressed that in the song too.

What kills me is that nowadays these nikkas will swear on their dead that they weren't going at anything in particular but the songs and videos were blatant as fukk.

De La acted like they had no idea why Treach tried to jump them on stage after they mentioned Naughty by name

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

Both groups were around the same age of the people who was popping. They was only mad because West coast and gangsta rap took over.

That wasn't selling out...
