Man i used 2 laugh when oldheads talked about hip hop needing 'gatekeepers'. How could you police sumthin tht was so accessible, especially when u dont even need a record label now 2 suceed. Them old heads just mad tht they time is up, n they dont wanna accept it, i said. Now i still believe tht is a big reason why they say what they say, but i didnt think there was any weight to their complaints.

Tht is, until i saw this clown ass dude in the video above. 10, 20 years ago this dude woulda brushed off, laughed at, be given tha side eye. But the accessibility of hip hop tht i mentioned earlier is a blessing and a curse. Dont get me wrong, i understand tht from a logical standpoint it makes sense. There are billions of ppl on social media, and if u make music tht appeals 2 a big enuff target market, u can gain sum popularity and potentially eat. But a part of me cant help but resent tha fact tht a clown like this can get shine. Call it hatin, i honestly dgaf if u do. The sad thing is there r lil nikkas out here, listenin 2 this shyt n thinkin this shyt is cool, n its clownish.

Well the reality is you should be ashamed of yourself. People who knew better tried to warn you, but like you said it was just "old nikkas whose times was up."

Naw it was those of us who saw hip hop at its best and have come to lament what it's become.

Ain't no different than when your Elders try to set you right in some other area of your life, but you know more than them too...until the day comes you realize you don't.

So we get what we deserve.

Damn nikka u act like its my fault lil pump got on, like i couldve done sumthin about. im just a nikka voicin his opinion, n whether i believe in gatekeepers r not, lil pump still woulda been put on, cuz ultimately there are entire groups of suburb white boys out there tht could give af less about tha culture who would be more than happy 2 support pump, whether i support him or not:francis:

Is that a white boy?? I saw his name on some XXL hottest upcoming rappers list awhile back.

If he's white I hope he blows the fukk up. We need more images of people other than blacks looking and acting like thugs and savages.
