good piece. i ususally dont like some of these articles, they come of defensive. fact is fukk white people lets not think about them. but sometimes it needs to be said out loud. and the shyt about larry smith is 100%. how the fukk did the dude who gave run dmc and whodini their sound and created a template for rap production is not known outside of rap nerds is beyond me. meanwhile rick rubin, they act like this nikka is the george washington of producers. even black people like art barr raise that dude up beyond a lot of black producers. that self hatred brehs.

I had an indie label, put out a few projects and then tried to pull my friends into the game and show them how to make money in the game...sadly, i got burned out, i had the right vision but worked with people who feared success.

I had my own studio, production team, engineer and film crew.

One day i woke up after having a falling out with 2 artist for their lack of business acumen and decided to take a few years off.

Its been a year and im starting to get that itch to get back in the game...but this time ima start back again but do shows in nyc with artist such as fabolous, ghostface, dave east and so forth.

Im just stacking my money up and have 0 business partners.
:salute:

Weird that Pac has all but disappeared from these types of lists. I think Wayne has taken his spot with these hipster kids? Usually these lists have the usual Pac, Big, Jay, Em in some sort of top 5 order then a smattering of stupid choices mixed with "look at me aren't I cool I know who Rakim is, I'm so Hip Hop!" type spots.
These fakkits would have a heart attack listening to Cube let alone PAC. They can't write black history.

Them Hotep ass nikkas like Jay Electronica be the biggest undercover, secret society, devil worshipping ass nikkas on the planet.
Say what you will but he ain't just turning up pretending this ain't happening.

Y'all can't have it both ways. Most rappers now are cowards who won't voice any strong opinions on race politics. Jay Elec don't play that.

These cacs tryna sneak em in a top 10 list over PAC? :dead:

I co-sign much of what's been said in this thread. I try to get folks to see hip hop as our cultural heritage. We should be deeply invested in ownership and controlling the narrative. Hip hop as an art and culture is so connected to the Black experience in America. It's in our best interest to be the ones controlling the way its history is told. But, like y'all have said, we've been quick to sell it for a quick buck. Plus, we seem super excited when hispters/outsiders write articles, books and make films about hip hop. Like its an honor or something. And more valuable than a black person doing it. Most of these hispters don't give a damn about black folks outside of their desire to be experts on black music. They never step foot in black spaces. They've simply found ways to make a profitable cultural industry around working class black driven culture. Theyre profiting in ways that we are not. But some of us feel so honored. It's a damn shame.

yawn. people gotta stop caring. as long as there has been hip hop "fans" or fans there's been terrible lists.

And as far as Jay Electroverrated goes, dude should just shut the fukk up or drop some music. At this point I look at him as a twitter personality / former rapper.
