Should Most Blacks Care About Hip Hop?

[Sensei]

Let me say this.
I remember when the NJ,Philly, and DC rappers in the 80s were coming out with records, but were dissed by NY rappers and NY Hip Hop usual suspects.

I remember when West Coast came out with G-Funk and Gangsta Rap in the late 80s and early 90s,it catapulted the popularity of Hip Hop but it was consider nonsense by NYC hip hop ethusiast.Even before G-Funk, Hammer, Tone Loc, and King Tee were considered jokes.

Then in the early 2000s when the South came out with Crunk ,there was a fun atmosphere for everybody and every coast ,whether West, Midwest and even East Coast/NY artists played with the genre. Despite some NY rappers making Crunk influenced or Crunk based songs(i.e. Diplomats,G-Unit), yet Crunk was still scrutinized and shunned by NY industry insiders.

Now today,when Chicago and the Midwest are coming out with Drill Music, its a problem ,irrespective of the fact it has a good buzz and could give Hip Hop CPR. Let´s not forget that NY artist like Bobby Smurda are doing Drill .But Chi-town Chief Keef are getting hated on.


So I am wondering if Hip Hop is just supposed to be a NYC thing? On top of the fact that during Hip Hops financial success of Late 90s and early 2000s,we only see labels like Rocafella,Bad Boy,Diplomat Records,D-Bloc, Terror Squad, Ruff Ryders, and G-Unit reap the benefits ,when other non-NYC labels didn´t really reap the prosperity of the Golden Era.

Then its the business aspect of Hip Hop. No matter where you from,a lot of bullshyt tactics seep into the Industry that demoralizes new artists.

I think of hip hop being so cutthroat, many artists and producers were stiffled out of funds, jerked,ripped off, and whored out than most of the previous black genres of,Soul,Funk and R&B.These cutthroat tactics are done by white corporate heads, but black coroporate figures use these dirty moves too and are even more scandalous with it than white boys.Facts

Say what you want but I just had to post this up.

Its like yall are too lazy of reading, I simply if you ain´t black and ain´t from New York , should you even care about Hip Hop/Rap?

I also asked why is it so much scandalous mothafukkas in Hip Hop ,more so than the previos genres of Motown and Soul music? Keep on blaming the white boy when its a lot of blame on the black side of things.

Yea , but my point is that when their(NY labels like Rocafella artists,Ruff Ryder artists, Bad Boy artists etc) Hip Hop artiists were on top, it wasn´t no theme of ''we are one hip hop family''.


Plus there was coastal beefing and label beefing, I mean I think nikkas dragged it down themselves.Can´t really blame white corporate America,although I know that´s what nikkas want to hear.

It's not a question of whether Hip Hop SHOULD be an NYC thing.

Hip Hop IS an NYC thing.

Spaghetti is an Italian thing. The Torah is a Hebrew thing. The numeral "zero" is an Arabic thing.

Other people have done the shyt out of Hip Hop but no amount of regional styles can ever erase the historical facts.

So what was the question again?

Nothing really, if its an NYC thing, I am wondering why nikkas from all over are tripping over Hip Hop? As if nikkas in other states really prospered off of it.

The rap game is dead now a days,both in the aspects for the quality of music and getting money on the mainstream level.There might be a few sub-genres of rap thriving in some regions, but overall Hip Hop is pretty much taking a dirt nap in this current time.So even if ATL ,Chicago or where ever else are on top,they aint running anything in a dead game.

Hip Hop today is like an afterparty after the Concert.

In summary: I wish Hip Hop was being preserved and taught to the youth like Kung Fu or Voodoo but for some reason we've abandoned it (breaking, DJing...). The best breakers DJS and Graf artists are non Black in 2015 it seems.

We SHOULD care. We don't tho.

This new shyt is to "real" Hip Hop as modern Rock is to the original version. Barely recognizable as such.

You mean taught and preserved by you NY cats, because other brothas from out of state were never really accepted into the Hip Hop circle .Only a few rarities here and there.

Here's the interesting thing: I was born in DC but moved to NC at age 5. The entire time we were doing Hip Hop til... I guess NWA... it was never about claiming it for NC, it was a given that we followed the "East Coast" style. My style reeks of NY to this day.

So technically I'm Dirty South, Goodie Mob made that song fully ten years into my Hip Hop journey. Inside I rep East Coast. All MCS from the crib were heavy East Coast style back then and even recently, but now a lot of them try to get on the new wave.
