honestly bruh, i didnt read only a small portion of your post. u jyst typed up a whole bunch of bullshyt. theres nothin a mf like this could tell me about hip hop. but carry on :rudy:


your, lack of understanding of the skillsets in rap and the culture of hiphop, is on full display.
plus, you skim my post and I am the best poster in the entire net in hiphop, period.
along with the fact, you don't know what you are talembout when it comes to the culture or its businesses.

Anybody can have an opinion on something, whether it's an educated or informed opinion is a completely different matter. This CAC doesn't get that his opinion holds no weight with Ross' demographic. I mean could u not look at this dude and tell that Ross doesn't cater to his demographic?? I mean really??

U white ppl love to judge shyt negatively that doesn't speak to u. I just don't see black ppl judging music outside our culture as much as whites do. All u see online all day on BLACK MUSIC FORUMS are white ppl complaining about OUR music. No other culture of ppl does this except white ppl.

:camby:

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.


this is exactly what thw fukk im talkin about. this mf is totally disconnected. why do people give dudes like him any credibility?

the migos are exactly what he said, though.
as they a gateway biter rap group.
who bit all the flows from bone, and triple six mixed with Gucci.
yet, how you think that is supposed to be so great.
when, they use twenty year dated flows and bite Gucci.
when they are nowhere near Gucci at even his most dumbed down point as a wordsmith.
I could see, if you were this new rap fan.
who needed an entry into rap, and never heard this type of rap before as a noob.
yet, as a person on a culturized board.
to post a real talk review of migos.
as some detractor to fantano.
When, he is spot on.
shows, how ignorant and culturally deficient you are.
as real talk,...
the migos are a gateway rap group for this ATL based gay brigade.
who are trying to revisit 1993.
which was the global explosion of hiphop being culturally marketed at Leo Burnett, worldwide.
when, twenty years ago...
gay people got beat the fukk down for trying to impersonate real bboys.
now, it is twenty years later.
So, they are trying to dictate fashion using gay European cuts of fashion based on what bboys rocked in 1993.
plus, trying to put on groups who emulate 93's past foray in the styles era.
before, illmatc's cultural submission came and crushed the buildings.
you are not a gateway fan of rap.
so, why are you so mad about what a review on the migos is.
when, it is welled in exact fact.

you have to be from that shyt to understand this shyt. there is no way im gonna listen to some nerdy hipster square and hold any opionion he has on hip hop with any value

Long response; sorry, just had a lot to say.

So the only people who can understand Rick Ross' music are the ones who are from the streets or who have lived the street life? I'm sure Ross doesn't have a streets-only requirement to buy his records, or to go to his shows, to play his music on the radio or at the club. And I mean really, how many drug kingpins are really out there? Aside from a couple songs, it's not like Ross makes much music about the struggle of becoming rich - he mostly only talks about the wealthy side of its success, and about being a boss. I personally like a lot of his music, but that's just what it is. And plenty of rappers talk about the street in ways that are able to touch people from all over the world. That's part of the purpose a lot of iconic rappers have had: to speak directly to their communities about what goes on, but also to give outsiders a peak into their communities to show them what it's like. That's what makes artists like Biggie, Nas, Scarface, Pac, etc. the iconic figures that they are: they've been able to narrate what happens in the street to anyone who listens. I can relate to Brenda's Got A Baby no matter where I grew up.

And it's funny that you say that you have to be from it to understand it, because plenty of other street cats say the opposite about Ross. Some street dudes say they can't respect Rick Ross because he didn't live the life that he raps about.

I'm not trying to ignore the cultural aspect of it, because it's definitely relevant in understanding/creating/digesting black art forms. But the cultural aspect isn't the only side of it. At the end of the day, Rick Ross makes music. As such, music experts/critics legitimate sources of knowledge to judge the music from, just like people from the culture do. They just have different perspectives. That's like me telling you that you can't appreciate the movie The Godfather since you weren't in the mafia.

And most of Fantano's critique hasn't been based around Rick Ross' authenticity anyway - it's been about the music. Between his GFID review and this one, his criticism has been consistent: he said his production was hit or miss, that Ross isn't doing anything new that he hasn't done before, that he has wack flows, that his storylines don't have any tension and that he doesn't show enough depth in the street life he talks about. Those are all valid musical critiques.

you try to front like he did not call macklemore corny and over the top emo, though.
macklemore's gay ass worked because he used the same sentiments of slug.
that kanye stole and made music directly for the gay crowd.
what part of steal from slug and change it to suit your agenda, did you miss from dmx, jay to kanye to macklemore.

is their a brutha equivalent to these video review blogs?


I don't know of a video reviewer, who is black.
that reviews as well as fantano over numerous genre's.
fantano is a better review guy on rap, than dehh, easily.
