And yes, I know Styles P got into a fight and stabbed a nikka in his ass
But they not some gangstas ass nikkas
You can’t have your feet in both lanes and be doing both.
These nikkas are artists
Good comment
Exactly right. Most of the younger generations don’t know (and don’t care) about the history of hip hop and how they were robbed of this innovative musical artform stagnating.
When NWA blew up and white suburban kids loved the shock value and how it pissed their parents off all record labels wanted to sign in the mainstream was some version of the street kingpin shooting rivals, fukking hoes etc. Radio stations only wanted to play it. It became the face of hip hop. In the early 90s you had all of these acts as the mainstream:
Kid N Play
Heavy D
EPMD
KRS
Public Enemy
Big Daddy Kane
LL Cool J
Beastie Boys
Chubb Rock
Tribe
De La Soul
3rd Bass
Etc
By the mid 90s it was
Jay Z
Biggie
Snoop
Tupac
Mobb Deep.
Onyx
DMX
Lox
Smiff n Wessun
The West Coast gangsta rappers
Nas with the Escobar personna
Wu Tang
Etc
there were still some great acts but most were considered “underground” and not given the same push or attention.
I enjoyed some of those acts because they excelled at what makes a great emcee - lyrics, flow, cadence, charisma, storytelling ability etc. However gone was the variety in the mainstream. Replaced by a version of the same rapper with similar subject matter. And it wasn’t just a phase it just kept going until we got actual hardcore murderers in the form of drill.
As someone who loved hip hop and thought it would continuously grow and innovate, it’s been profoundly disappointing. And as mentioned entire generations grew up knowing nothing different. This isn’t just about things change. This was almost like self sabotage.

ngl gangster is my fav genre, i wouldn't call it glorifying. it's entertainment
but if we all made the same moves, we would all lose

This reminds me of what Pimp C was saying
Yet Pimp C was calling out Jeezy to save face after that “geographical error“

Rappers don’t be speaking about the ills of the streets and the downside of it…
Thats why I respected DMX so much.
In most of DMX songs, he always spoke about a consequence at the end of the song no matter if he was shooting nikkaz or messing with some hoes.
A lot of these kids grew up in the era where the OGs just started to die out.
OGs wouldn’t be having you crash out and do some dumb shyt, they’d check you.
The music is a reflection of it.
Even Scarface told me to watch my homies when they start acting funny

I happen to know personally that u are wrong. It's best to not just say things in absolutes without any actual knowledge of what ur saying.
rap fans can be weird as hell.
Only know or judge an artist is "gangsta" or "real" by how much of a fan they are of them.
If they don't like them like that, the juelzing and rationalizing comes out.
"
his daddy a cop! He came from a good home! The people in his hometown that don't like him saying that he not! "
