Run DMC say hip hop is now garbage, with a few artists as exceptions

[MINT]

Run DMC's Darryl McDaniels has said hip-hop has lost its creative edginess, because it has become too "commercial".

The 49-year-old - one third of hip-hop pioneers Run DMC - blamed the industry's focus on profits for turning songs into mainstream hits

"Hip-hop has lost its way and the reason why is because it has become commercial. It could be the worst song ever but because of programming and the corporations, the labels are paying money to promote garbage and if you listen to garbage over and over, it will become normal to you," he said.

Darryl named rappers Kendrick Lamar and Jay Electronica (Timothy Thedford) as exceptions, because they are more "underground", which he said is an important aspect of the hip-hop genre.

He continued: "Hip-hop has lost its responsibility of being honest and true. People want true, authentic originality - good stuff, that they perceive is cool.

"Hip-hop has lost its responsibility which has allowed us to lose our creativity, but that happens to anything that is artistic that becomes commercial. So we're in trouble right now. All the records sound the same. We, Run DMC, broke the mould," the singer added.

"But there are a few exceptions underground - with Kendrick and Jay Electronica as exceptions."

:: DMC has 'collided' with Canadian DJ A-Trak (Alain Macklovitch) for a new Adidas Originals campaign, #Unitealloriginals, which includes a remix of Run DMC's 1986 track My Adidas. For more information, see www.adidas.com/unite.

He Cosigned the right artists so it's all good

Agreed...especially the bolded. Once a formula for generating profits is found...the corporate big wigs will abuse that formula...fukk everything else that doesn't fit into that model. This is true for pretty much any kind of artform.

[Real]

nikkas need to learn the difference between Run DMC and just DMC

 

[MINT]

AGREE

 

[observe]

So DMC is talmbout hip hop being to commercial, when really they were the ones who pioneered mainstream rap and did a song with Aerosmith

Then a few years ago DMC did a song with sarah mclachlan

I'm not saying that mainstream is the best it's been since the 90s..but have you heard DMC rap lately

Lil poopy and lil mouse is out rapping dude..he needs to shut up

 

[Master Teacher]

you need the fire slapped outta yo ass

if it wasn't for DMC there wouldn't be no hip hop forums for uninformed ungrateful ass fans to spew hatred on

Hip Hop is this man's music, HIS GENERATION, created the GENRE when they were just KIDS
if anybody can speak on its him, you need to know your place

 

[Yoda]

run dmc is awful anyways. who cares what hey think but old farts.

 

[Yoda]

This is rawer than anything run dmc has ever released ever. no troll.

when he says its commercial he's not talking about "white people" buying it or "pop music"

he's talking about the process of how the music is being made.

shyt is assembly line status, producers are pretty much a thing of the past, because any bum can buy some loops packs
mix and match them, and call themselves a producer.

nikkaz been using the same 808 drum patterns for the past ten years man, goddamn it, them snare rolls is played to death too shyt is pathetic

nikkaz CAN"T EVEN PERFORM THEIR OWN RAPS LIVE

this nikkaz be doing shows with the track playing with them shouting over it

If DMC lost his voice and can still perform better than these dudes get the fukk outta here

its about quality, ain't no time being put into these records thats why the gotta give that shyt out for free
there are no where rap FANS, just casual listeners who have no appreciation for the rich history of the game or the talent it takes to perform

Rap use to be a cool, because it was rebellious music against the trend, against the grain

half stepping rappers use to get called out no matter how many records they sold, you got held accountable if wasn't really representing

giving all these semi-talented artist passes only hurts the consumer, its like people still eating MickeyD's when they knew all the food is fake processed garbage
if the local burger joint can give me quality meal what can't A BILLION DOLLAR corporation. That's commercializing, when you sacrifice quality because its cheaper
to mass produce something

Hip Hop is Mickey D status right now

you crazy, THIS shyt has NO flow NO rhythm, he can't rap this shyt on stage without sounding like a retard
RUN DMC rock stadiums nikka

Black people done lost all the soul in everything we do
can't dance no more, can't sing no more, put its all good keep thinking this bullshyt is good

 

[Master Teacher]

Ye I'm sure of that. fukk a Run and fukk a DMC, they're both horrible rappers.

Oh and fukk you

the world disagrees with you
if nikkaz actually studied these nikkaz they would learn how to PERFORM VOCALLY, and no sound like shyt every time they hit the stage

Studio Gangstaz was bad enough
now we got STUDIO rappers, nikkaz can't even perform they own shyt

 

[Mastamimd]

I don't know when.you nikkas are gonna ignore these stupid ass trolls...they can say no troll all they want but they know what they're doing
