That happens all the time though. Actors and athletes be treating rap like a second job and shyt. I need rappers to get mad like this dude over hiphop :yeshrug:
I feel like there's been plenty of talk about how those people ruined hip hop.

Need fans to get mad about Hip Hop. I'll always say fans/the public don't get blamed enough for the state of music
They already do. No one's cares about being told they can't play music they want to make breh

Reason why the carti outsells roc Marciano. At the end of the day, most popular music has never been about what was the most complex or technically proficient

It's a space for everyone. With all the music available it's a waste of time to complain about shyt you don't like instead of promoting what you do

By crackers, I hate them so I don't know what that means for us. I just don't think there should be "room for everybody" in any form of art
Then how can you believe in art if you want to set limitations

Art just is

The same as an emotion or feeling. An itch on your back aint the same intensity as being in love, but they're both still felt

Someone can ramble for hours about nothing, they're still talking

So Andre can bang out unfinished and loosely connected ideas on the piano, it's still art :manny:

These mediocre rappers are getting hit records or at least popular records. I haven’t seen anybody in the streets talking about the Andre 3000 piano album. Wack esports get talked about a lot though

you're discussing the validity of art on a forum where dudes are obsessed with sales figures
The real story of Robert Johnson is nikkas telling him to get the hell on because he was hot garbage and him taking that and locking in on the guitar. Black American musicians historically were always hard on each other

I'm more concerned about our musical art forms than a broader discussion of art. Like B High said there's too much fukking around with music. I'd like to see folks strive to be excellent at what they do
Then why don't you focus on them instead of someone who isnt even attempting to be a profficient player?

You say you're concerned but are you supporting the folks that are excellent at what they do?
