Maino Message To NY Rappers: "N*ggas Here In My City Soft. It's So Sweet Here"

[mson]

All this comes down to is Maino is old, irrelevant & @ the city because no1 likes him here.


Here's the thing about all this talk about gangsta rappers not reflecting reality anymore...Bedstuy is still the hood isit not? There's plenty of young goons out there & they rather bump Meek, but does Maino not represent them in some fashion? 'Gentrification' has only truely turned around neighborhoods that never held no weight in the ny rap game anyway, l.e.s, the heights, williamsburg etc so really what are we saying? Crime is greatly reduced but there's still a minority about that life...And the thing is they were always a minority in the hood. So if you tryna say gangsta rappers have no place in hiphop no more then they never did.

These days none of these industry plants represents where they come from, gangsta or not, because they all came up on the internet, these dudes have no grassroots movement what so ever. Asap Rocky does not represent contemporary Harlem at all but let nikkas online tell it harlem is full of skirt wearing hipsters

Even with bloods n crips in new york its still soft

only in NY

You speak the truth sir. This is the reason nikkas like Big Sean more than Maino online. Suburban dudes finally have representation in hip hop and they're not willing to go back to the days of the goons being the coolest nikkas around. They like seeing themselves being the cool guy therefore they root for Drake to win.

It's just like in High School, if the goons in the school were the coolest nikkas in the school and got all the girls from your freshman to your junior year and you were a square you wouldn't like it. But then all of a sudden as a senior shyt change and the girls start jocking the square guys and the coolest guy in school is the most square and awkward nikka in the school (Drake). You would love it because that guy represents you. This is why the Drake's, The ASAP's, The Big Sean's, J-Cole's etc. get so much love online. Squares finally have their representation and since they outnumber the goons in social media presence their voice is the loudest.

5 star post right chea

Cuz NY never made soft music huh...











Cannot believe the nikka talking all this soft shyt... made this wannabe ass wackass down syndrome version of "Live Ya' Life"...



I don't even fukk with A$AP like that but "Shabba Ranks" goes harder then any of these female oriented suburban targeted ass "Singles" these NY artists released before this era...

 

[mson]

Why so many nikkas on here with NYC names in their mouths? Why don't they make threads about Too Short, E-40, and Black Hippy? Even when they're talking about Kendrick, it's some how NYC related. shyts disgusting related.

Most people aren't willing to look under rocks to find good music. They'll either play their old shyt like I do or succumb to the current shyt on the radio and learn to like it. This is a message board so of course we're more privied to underground shyt but most don't frequent message boards and aren't willing to go thru the due diligence of finding quality music. You shouldn't have to, I use to be able to turn on the fukking radio and hear classic music being played. I used to be able to listen to "I seen a man cry" or "So Many Tears" or "Smile" on the radio.

Then 1 day the white man decides he doesn't want us to hear that kind of music on his airwaves anymore so he buys BET and monopolizes terrestrial radio via Clear Channel and Radio One and floods the airwaves with corny nikkas and corny music.

the way you listened to music, you'll never get that back. That's not due to "the white man." That's due to technology. They played "So Many Tears" on the radio because it was POPULAR, not because radio had a moral obligation to play that "real hip-hop." If nobody liked those songs, they wouldn't get played.

This is a do-it-yourself world. If you're still relying on radio to play the shyt you like, you're technologically handicapped.

If you didnt live through the crack era and see the effect it had on the community then you cant accurately speak on it.

Your comparison of now to then reeks of trying to hard out of a desperation to relive times that werent worth reliving. It wasnt anything to glorify. When rap switched from being the hood news reporting it to millionaires and studio gangsters recording it Hip Hop lost it's authenticity.

If things are as bad as you want to make them out to be, pull up some stats on crime to prove it. OR if you're really about that hood life and in the streets, log off and go outside. shyt should be popping out there right now? Right?

BINGO! That's the biggest issue that plagues the inner city mentally, let alone rap. We romanticize the most fukked up shyt we saw because it adds character, but all you can do is reflect back, not wish it was your present. shyt, some of your best memories came when you were struggling and broke and dealing with shyt. That doesn't mean I want those circumstances back just to get more good memories. Rap has it fukked up

I ain't no street nikka but I got fam and friends that will body bag maino's loudmouth, wack ass quick.
Nyc rappers maybe wack but let's be real the most thoro ain't thinking about rap.

I don't rely on the radio to hear the songs I like, however radio was the medium or introductory venue in which I discovered new music. I'll admit I'm not willing to sift thru the 1000's of mixtape nikkas in order to find something I like. I'll just wait for some shyt I like to show up on my radar but I'm not going on a treasure hunt on datpiff or whatever the newest mixtape site Is to discover gems. If that makes me a lazy listener then I'll be that.

It's just not that way anymore. Radio is for people who mirror what's trendy, not the breaking ground for what can be good. That's what the internet is for. Rap is really the only genre where you have to sift through so much shyt because everyone and their mother raps and fans value quantity.\

If you still wanna rely on the radio, rap isn't a good genre to put that to the test.

You coli nikkas are a joke. Only on social media and in the suburbs is the inner city plight a thing of the past. All of a sudden we've progressed so much in the last 10 years to where the music should be diluted because it's reflective of the progression of those from the inner city. I must've missed the reparations meeting because the last time I checked the ghetto was still a fukked up place and there was still a recession.

In fact there was more progression/prosperity amongst minorities from the inner city during the Clinton Era when we had a surplus and factory jobs were being imported as opposed to what the economy is now, if you want to make the case of how good things were financially for Blacks then you should look at the 90's instead of 2013. The music in the 90's reflected the times much more than the music of 2013 does.

You nikkas are trying to pull the wool over people eyes by talking as if hard times for Blacks is a thing of the past, crime in certain cities is down but in other cities it's spiking. Especially in the mid-west where factory jobs were the main force of employment for Blacks and now they're all gone. nikkas in the Midwest wish things were like they were in the 90's.

The inner city plight isn't the issue. It's that the general public by and large isn't interested in it when the inner city is producing more and more success stories outside of rap. 20 years ago, those stories you could only hear through rap and sports. Now, you sit next to inner city success stories in college. Now shyt, my hood's a fukked up place, but the people out here ain't rapping to get out. They're either doing something else or living a life of crime. The ones that live that tough shyt that try to rap, by and large suck and have nothing new to add to the social commentary that's there. Find me the rapper railing against gentrification. Find me the rapper worried about families uprooting because they can't afford to stay home. Find me the regular dude that lives a regular life trying to make it in rap. That's a different take on the inner city plight. Nobody takes that route because no one seemingly will care.

The fact of the matter is that inner cities in major metro areas ARE getting better. That's celebrated everywhere BUT rap. The still fukked up places simply don't have compelling figures giving you depth into their fukked up life. The few that are go ignored because we'd rather use rap as an escape from misery. Does the music reflect life in 2013? Not completely, but it's not necessarily intended to. Life ain't a 24 hour party, but fans prefer it that way.

As for this.

Killer Mike said the irony is that more Black people went to jail under the Clinton administration than any other time because of all the crooked drug laws that existed, so you have to look at both sides here.

So are you telling me that Blacks are better off financially in 2013 than they were in 1996? I'll admit I haven't seen many ghetto's around the country lately. I don't know if the nikkas in Memphis, Miami, Detroit, Indianapolis, Harlem, Cleveland, Philly, Chicago, New Orleans, St.Louis would attest to your statement or the 1 I made previous to yours. If things are getting better in your city let us know. I just don't see it, not that I live in the ghetto anymore but I go back enough to know shyt ain't changed in my region.

Statistically I can't comprehend how jobs are down around the country yet Blacks choose now to start thriving more than they ever have. I just don't see how that's statistically possible, usually when the country feels the punch of a recession the nikkas are the first to touch the canvas.

Ghettos will always exist. Some places will be forever tough to fix up (like the spots you names and my own hood). How many of those places are producing artists who rap, rap well, and rap about the bullshyt that surrounds them? Where are these rappers? Either they don't exist, they suck at rapping or something about them (swag, beats, boring, no it factor) is keeping you from hearing them.
