Warren G Wants To Separate Rap "We Looking Bad Right Now"

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

To you it's wack because it's been presented as Hip-Hop. And there in lies the problem.

For someone like me who is 33, when I hear the Young Thugs and so on. I know I'm not listening to "Hip-Hop", so I appreciate it for what it is.

But honestly it's the laziness off the industry for labeling everything young Black people make as Hip-Hop or R&B, when it's clearly not.

frush...come on now....the amount of underground music you're into you're better than this opinion. young thug is hip hop.

it's a generational thing

the cats in the 80's looked at the 90's hip hop...and said that sh1t wasnt hip hop

the cats in the 90's looked at mis 00's ringtone rap...and said that sh1t wasn't hip hop

the cats in the 80,90 and 00's look at this hip hop...and say this sh1t isn't hip hop


as far as i'm concerned...all this resistance against the young thugs, yatchy's etc just lets me know they're on the right path because hip hop has always been the young mans game for young people.

the genre has to find ways to move forward

and best believe you do NOT want them to seperate this from hip hop because this is what the kids are fuccin with. you seperate this from hip hop and that will be the final nail in hip hop's coffin...and it will be a very quick death


and for the record i don't fucc with yatchy, thug or any of them cats

Are you nikkas kidding me? There have been Weirdos in hiphop for years.

Personally I think lil Yahty and Uzi are terrible artist, but that doesn't mean they don't have a place in hiphop. Remember hiphop isn't just one thing. It is a very broad spectrum. In my opinion, hiphop is simply taking something and putting your "hip" spin to it.

Example:

Drawing on paper? "fukk that, we putting abstract art on trains and walls"


Classic rock and R&B? "fukk that, we're adding a drum kit to it."


Poetry? "fukk that, we are changing the cadence and adding music behind it."


Now let's talk about the weirdos,
parents were giving us the same look when ODB came wilding out. He won us over strictly off charisma. What about Flaver Flav. Biz Markie was a weirdo too.



We gave Andre 3k and Busta Rhymes a pass because we liked their rhymes, loved their energy. We didn't give a fukk how they dressed, because they didn't give a fukk.

This is what these new kids are doing. You guys sound like the dusty parents that Will Smith was talking about on "Parents Just Don't Understand"


every generation looked back at the last and felt they need to put their own new hip spin to it.


Let these lil nikkas rock.

lol @ the bolded. no they didn't.

and yea, people looked at ringtone rap as being wack or not being hip-hop, but not the entire landscape of mid-00s rap. same with todays mumble rap. its not a knock on the entire current scene.

people try to make things into a generational issue as an excuse.

I get where you coming from, but look it at like Jungle and D&B, on paper it's the same thing. But they are world's apart.


The difference there people still making Hip-Hop unlike Jungle.

Breh it's a complex thing, with my job, I'm around a lot off college age folks. And for most part, they ain't even fuccin with the early 2000 shiit. You play anything with the standard rapping style around them, and you might as well be playing Classical music.


I hating at all on Thug and these others, but it's disservice to them and Hip-Hop to label them such. And it's not coming from me looking down on them. It just ain't the same thing.

It's not about weirdos, it's really actually bout the music.

Which is different.

Nothing wrong with stating this

There will always be hip hop and there will always be rap.

Hip hop is the culture and rap is just part of the way its expressed. Its gonna keep changing no matter what.
Thug, Yatchy and Uzi etc. prolly dont even need new labels for their music, as long as people understand hip hop and rap.

Exactly.
It's the cycle youngin rebels against convention much to consternation and criticism of those who came before.
Then grows old and does thw same

 

[NormanConnors]

 

[CashmereThoughts]

Couldn't agree more.

Put that wack bullshyt to one side and preserve the integrity of the culture with some real hip-hop.

We should. But we have no organization, no governing body in our culture. Can't happen

 

[Wacky D]

that's the thing.

these guys aren't rappers.

a lot of these dudes don't even try to be nice. a lot of that chit don't even rhyme anymore.

 

[Cat piss martini]

agreed......the talentless dainty fakkit era
need to end or call that bullshyt something else.

You're comparing Flav, Biz Markie, ODB, 3 Stacks and Busta to the Uzi Verts, Lil Yachtys, etc. of today?

Man, sit yo' ass all the way the fukk down.

 

[Fani Willis fan]

that's the thing.

This era is all about flow and cadence
