can my old heads come answer a question for me?
when you were coming up listening to mobb deep nas snoop rakim pac. or when you heard songs on the radio coming up in the 80s or 90s did you think you could do that shyt too.
cause in 06 i started middle school with all the ringtone rap and i remeber all us kids being like man we can do that shyt too. all you gotta do is say something stupid with a dance and a catchy beat and we can be rappers too.
i feel like that sentiment has carried into what we see today. so many kids get into music and they came up hearing fukk rap this just a check or whatever. and it reflects in the music. they dont even care what they put out.
i mean even prodigy in 96 said fukk rap im tryin to make cream and thats that.
Emcees were and still are super heroes.
So no.
As a listener you did not think you could just go rap.
Nor did you think their skill was some attainable feat and it is still not some attainable feat of skill to this day.
If so.
Post the dope emcee who actually freestyles at the radio station consistently. that is not parroting or biting.
It has only been one emcee who did it like that.
Frfr.
So no,...as a listener.
I never thought as a young listener.
listening to rap that i could do it back then. No not at all.
