this is what happened.
Black community has been taught and conditioned to have the shortest attention span imaginable while at the same time only being comfortable with a life that's right in front of their noses.
Trash influences and no sense of history. Folks swearing "old school" is 2005 and their musical influences are all 25 and younger.
nikkas only like what they're told to like and they're too lazy and scared to even dig in them crates or say they like anything different. You wait for them to discover some new shyt themselves and they just sit there drooling out the mouth.
And thats a fukking shame.
It's like when Menace 2 Society came out. Every nikka and their momma started riding around bumping Computer Love and Al Green. Wasn't nobody thinking about that shyt before hand. Nobody was thinking about it afterwards.
When you brought it up that they aint say shyt about it before, nikkas was like "

what I ALWAYS liked this shyt cause this what real nikkas always listen to my MOMMA played this while I was growing up-"

bytch nikka you lying and your momma ain't shyt but a gospel music listening whore.
And it ain't like Rap music. This is R&B we're talking about. there should NEVER be a sense of "turn off the radio and you'll find it" with R&B. The radio was BUILT off R&B.
I'm sorry, man. I know I type a fukking essay every time shyt like this comes up, but it pisses me off. It's like a symptom of a disease. The music is a reflection of the culture and mindset of a people. And the greater GREATER majority of our people's mentality is fukked up.
