Big Sean & Knaye are on the same song and he said Sean's verse was okay.

[Big Mel]

I did listen. I heard Sean rapping.

 

[Big Mel]

I'm listening now. Okay, Sean raps and then it blends into Kanye raps. This song sucks anyways.

Matt Pinfield got exposed over the years IMO as not that knowledgeable about music as he claimed to be. People thought he was like the foremost critic, like myself...lol.

Damn, that took me back.

that was mtv trying to make him more than he was, though.
which lead to him branching out, from just metal on his own.

yet, before he was grafted as all knowing wrongly.
he was great at metal.
which is all he really knows, to be honest.
plus, all he ever really portrayed himself as, originally.

Illmatic??? Nah man. I was in 8th grade when Illmatic came out. NO white people listened to Illmatic. Illmatic was an underground, street hip-hop classic when it came out. The people who listened to Illmatic before all the acclaim it got later were the same people that were listening to stuff like Black Moon and Jeru.

Now white people loved Wu-Tang.

Illmatic was acclaimed from day one. It was an instant classic.

 

[mobbinfms]

Perhaps, but if so, they decided that years later, probably after they heard If I Ruled the World and learned that Illmatic was considered a classic in "real hip-hop" canon. When it was out, they probably were probably listening to Nine Inch Nails, Stone Temple Pilots, and maybe 2Pac and Dr. Dre and didn't even know who Nas was. Illmatic was a hoodie and Tims street gem when it dropped, and non-melanated peoples didn't really know about it...except for those in the core purist hip-hop audience.

He's talking about people who were born around 94.

 

[mobbinfms]

knowing about hip hop and understanding street music are 2 different

This kind of stuff is interesting to me. Being a street dude is going to take appreciating street music to a deeper level, you can't question that. The movie Wall Street was probably understood on a deeper level by I Bankers.
But I think people use this as a cop out to imbue some substance onto something that they enjoy that isn't particularly substantive.
Finding fart jokes funny doesn't make them high brow.

This exactly what Ross was talking about on his interview


Like seriously how many nikkas up here who actually listen to street music would hang out with some cac muthafukka like this.

Stick to reviewing blink 182 or some shyt

Nipsey also said the same thing........they aint part of the culture.

I'm an average ass white guy myself, but dap and pos rep

 

[mobbinfms]

bottom line is, a MF like this white boy does not understand that real street shyt. he is disconnected

What you are saying, on a very surface level, is undoubtedly true. But what about Ross' album is he unable to grasp? Specifically?

Illmatic was acclaimed from day one. It was an instant classic.

Didn't say it wasn't.

 

[mobbinfms]

that's the problem with a lot of hipster hip-hop fans. they take this shyt WAY too seriously sometimes and always over analyze shyt and don't just ENJOY the music for the entertainment that it is.

I can rock with the viewpoint of Migos and shyt like that just being fun shyt that you don't take seriously, but you can't claim on the same token that its some deep substantive shyt.

 

[mobbinfms]

Didn't say it wasn't.

I got you. I didn't think you were, but your post read that way.

 

[jmspro]

I miss the days when the only thing that mattered was how some shyt sounded when it came through your speakers.

I miss the days when the only thing that mattered was how some shyt sounded when it came through your speakers.

I miss the days when good new shyt came through my speakers.
