Pete Rock Says Drill Rap Is Trash: 'It Disrupts The Soul'

[DaHNIC82]

Might as well say gangsta rap is poison too then. Can’t pick and choose what’s not good and what is.

No comparsion. Gangsta rap for the most part in the 80s and 90s. also pushed that line to where it scared Crakkkers and wanted to censor these cats . You also had songs like
















These lil nikkahs today arent scaring anyone and worship nothing but clout and white validation. Dudes like NBA Youngboy would boast and kill a million black men on wax and on IG live but would cry on Twitter when his white boss dont pay him. Cube pulls up with a bat and handles his shyt. These new nikkahs aint built like that.

Two different eras.

Pure facts

 

[African Peasant]

Disgusting music.

Demonic topics and demonic frequencies.

A lost generation of black people dancing to its demise.

Drill is drill, greezy shyt isn't new. What IS new though...
is nikkas straight rapping bout crime they actually did. That's some fukking wild shyt. Dudes talking bout man they actually shot and killed, straight snitching.

 

[The Truest]

Where was this energy when a certain rapper "shot some kids in the lobby probly"

 

[raoulduke187]

Difference being that this is the first era of hip-hop where rap skills really don't matter.

It's pure garbage.

they said the same in 2007 when Soulja Boy came out with crank dat and ringtone rap swept the nation

 

[Rell Lauren]

Old heads have the same mentality of the older heads that were rebelling against their music when they were in their prime

It’s so stupid

Get over it..not all golden era hip hop was about “the soul” or whatever bullshyt he’s talking about

This isn't an old head thing. Drill is demonic. There's no artistry or skill in the genre. They're calling it music as a cover to fuel whatever conflicts they have. Drill is a cancer.

Did Pete Rock have an issue when Cypress Hill was telling kids to “Throw Their Sets In The Air” , or when Dre/Snoop/Kurupt was calling women every name in the book? Where was the outcry then?

There were nationwide movements against the misogyny in rap. When you take off the rose colored glasses, you see that they were right. Language and perception of women and other Black men changed for the worse.

 

[KingsOfKings]

He can stop lying about the Canibus shyt though

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

why this nikka so bitter?

the culture left him in the 90's as great as he is and he been mad ever since. I mean dude was already bytching about hip hop in 96

[RickyDiBiase]

Another out of touch old dude

 

[tuckgod]

Ain't no one trying to rap like that...

Plus, these kids in NYC grew up on Chief Keef, Gucci Mane, and Meek Mill. It's cool for them to take the Easy way out and not be the lyrical wonder of yesteryear.


I don't even think they heard of Pete Rock and his contributions to Hip Hop.


There needs to be a Hip Hop 101 class.

There is.

Down South ndugu named 9th Wonder started it at the mighty NCCU years ago now it’s at Duke University.

We appreciate culture.

Everything ain’t for sale, everything aint for show.

Very well stated.
