One VERY annoying thing about hip hop....

[No_bammer_weed]

....is the frivolous, superficial nature of "collabos". This is about as consistent a feature of hip hop as saying niqqa. So and so gets hot, so and so is featured on EVERY hook. So and so falls off. So and so is never heard from again.

A few years ago, you couldnt hear a single release w/o Tpain on it. Or Keshia Cole, or Nate Dogg....Now its Future of course. Then when they get used up, its bushes time.

It really exposes modern day hip hop as lacking substance in such a significant way. Niqqas dont work with each other because they respect one another's talent, and feel a collaboration will add to the song. Naw, you're just desperate for attention, and hoping against hope a feature with a hot artist will either make you relevant, or maintain relevancy.

Artistry doesnt matter at all. Its just a bunch of political, meaningless bullshyt. This is more prominent in hip hop than any other genre.

You hit the nail on the head. Its all political bullshyt. Once you fall off the boat,don't be surprised if no one throws you a life preserver much less jumps in to save. Its the nature of hip hop. Always fukk with the new shyt,why you think our legends don't get respect?

 

[Mike Statik]

i was guna say homos and lack of talent... but what u said is pretty accurate as well

 

[BlackDiBiase]

its because they are too concerned with making 'hits' and not 'good music'

This is one of the ONLY reasons, I originally fukked with Rick Ross "B.M.F." when it came out. The Styles P. feature was so left field, I figured he goot respect for son bars, and I totally enjoyed hearing my nikka over a track wit a nikka who had arguably the biggest buzz in Hip-Hop at the moment.

I'd much rather see artists beef and battle than collab because it creates more competition and more creativity...

But fans nowadays don't like battles..It affects the marketing potential of their favorite rapper..

Dikkriding the newest trends is one of the worst human character flaws of all time.

Hiphop is too saturated with battles and so called shots and subliminals and all that sh!t. There was a time a shot was fired and the discussion of whether or not it was a shot was interesting in itself. Nowadays random garbage azz artists throw shots over any ol reason. Even R&B niqqaz sing subliminal shots. It's too much.

I do wish there was more creativity generated from the competition, as opposed to chasing after hits competitively. Thinking K.Lamar might help alter things somewhat.

Battling and sending subliminal shots are two different things...

Knowles-Carter cartel....ruining two genres at the same time.
