from pac which I said from my first post on the thread lol
I didn't say they didn't count now you putting words in my mouth. Did I say that in my response? If I did please show me.So white kids don't count? Its not just buying, its downloading, discussing, debating the music. It's mostly younger people.
I mean look at the booth, its 95% people under 30 years old
you said Empire of the Sun...lol you obviously have a broad knowledge of music....propsi'm sure there's plenty of young rock heads who think the Beatles or Elvis arestatus. that 70s style of rock came back in style a few years ago after years of cats fighting against it or flat out hating on it. every genre has it's cycles, every genre has unheralded legends and every genre has fans who think Empire Of The Sun is better than Def Leppard, ESPECIALLY teens.
Why is it only in hip-hop that the youngings have no respect for those that paved the way for them. Your favorite rappers are in their late 30s and early 40s except for camel. You don't see this type of disrespect in any other genre of music. Is it ignorance? Discuss. I'm waiting for the poor lame comeback of flabby and sick which was taken from a 2pac line as a diss to de la soul lol
Disagree.... it's about competition..that's hip-hop but still you still give props to whom paved the way that opened doors...that's healthy...hip-hop is about competition but not about fvck them and they don't know what they talking about type crap. I think I've made it clear..2pac at age 22 I believe when he made Old School gave a tribute. Now it's just flabby and sick crap because when it comes down to it..when a person has no words to respond back they just yell or post pics because they can't debate. I'm sorry but Drake said he won't stop singing on his songs...when was that hip-hop?I think you kind of answered your own question. I think its because new artists , unless they follow the "hip hop recipe" on how to be a "real artist," get no respect from any body including the veteran artists. I've read thread after thread and post after post of ppl talking shyt on this artist and that and a few of them aren't even dissing new artists they are about veterans in the industry (Jay-Z who some lovingly refer to as the camel) and you wonder why there's no respect?!! C'mon, newbie's would be naive not to come in with a chip on their shoulder and their guard up. They know what they are walking into. Their image and music is gonna be scrutinized heavily by fans of hip hop and its veteran artists. If they just take the criticism they are seen as soft so they talk shyt back. It would be nice if it was all love and respect but it isnt that way....shyt far from it. Drake is garbage according to most...to me he is different and interesting but in here he gets slammed for the most part. You gotta show respect to get respect. So if vets feel like they aren't being respected maybe they need to check themselves.
fvck you too and i'm from the West...he's deep u have no idea young onefukk Krs One
