Like back in the day, it was catered to the 30 and over crowd or somethin'...
This is the problem.
Lil nikkas with no history dictating what's supposed to be hot. Then you have the cynical adults in the "industry" exploiting these lil nikkas for a quick buck cause they realize the fans are retarded and eat that shyt up.
Hip Hop was never ALL ABOUT being young. It was about skills. PERIOD.
The hottest shyt out was made by GROWN MEN when Hip Hop blew up. "The Message" was a song about GROWN MAN problems and it changed music forever.
I don't care if you're 12 or 33, if you making hits then you get a pass. Nobody gets an automatic pass just cause they were born in a specific time frame, that shyt is bass ackwards.
Rappers are getting younger and younger. Plus they fukkin bytches and bussin they guns at age 13 now. Lill Bow Wow is no longer the exception he's the rule these days.
So now are you telling me that you're 13 or younger?
If not you need to keep your opinion to yourself cause uhhh
talmbout back in the day
obviously back in the early 80's it wasn't, but music evolves.
as music grows it becomes popular, popular music is always catered to the youth. Whatever is hot atm receives hate from old timers saying how it isn't up to the same standards as what they grew up on. Everyone had that old guy on their block preaching about todays rappers aint shyt compared to what they grew up on, whether you were bumping the roc, gunit, dipset, whatever. Now the tables turned and folk sitting on the coli looking real
Its a constant cycle and for some reason with all of the analysis the geniuses on the coli do, they can't realize it
Like back in the day, it was catered to the 30 and over crowd or somethin'...
Fans being fickle is a problem, but lets not act like white people trying to merge rap with pop music and coming online pretending to be black but saying shyt like "its good the streets are being phased out of hip hop" isnt part of the problem as well
if you were to stay stuck on peter pan mode, yeah you gonna act the same as you did in the 80s and 90s. if you think its dumb to hear young fans turning into junior a&rs, judging whats relevant by whats popular, and then even your own telling you that growth shouldnt happen, then the shyt starts to look real stupid right about now
...there is no other genre like hiphop nikkas....there's no other genre where a artist could be hot as hell to one part of the country and considered a legend,but they get a lukewarm reception in other parts of the country...imagine R Kelly only being hot in the midwest or Usher only in the south
.
....the gift and the curse of bein a hiphop fan but its a great ride while it last....but unfortunatly its not based off content made to be completely timeles in most cases.
