It's unbelievable he still has a job
Careful now, don't wanna offend his sensibilities about the position he's in

Dude's from Chevy Chase, MD. Come on, can anyone from a place like that be taken seriously in a Hip Hop convo?

*whispers* black people under 30 don't know any of this music, don't care, and are as oblivious as white people when it comes to music we view as culturally significant. You cannot pass down music without a strong family dynamic, which includes home life as well as social life (cookouts, parties, etc). And even if you have those things you then grapple with the brain poison that says old things/people/etc are irrelevant while solely focusing on whatever the hot new thing is.

We got kids that never sat down and listened to a Drake or Kendrick album until last year yet you think they're head nodding to Before I Let Go at the cookout they don't even attend because they'd rather be at home on their phone? It's over.

Sure this exists

It's one thing to not know, it's another to be disrespectful..

Rosenberg on the video talking about falling asleep to Babyface.. Like they're playing Guy - I Like and he's saying it doesn't even resonate with him..

If Guy comes on at the cookout, the YN that never heard this shyt gonna act like he's heard it before and bop with everybody else:dead:

Rosenberg a lame who constantly disrespects black culture, no doubt. But I feel like people totally glossed over the fact that the majority of reactions to most of the Versuz matches were young people making fun of the music, having zero recollection of it, and not getting it. The cultural exchange between generations is damaged in most of the US. It's still solid in the south and parts throughout the country but overall? These kids exclusively listening to one type of music and if it didn't come out in the last 2-3 years they don't know it or care.
