Why do "real hip-hop heads" front like they weren't hating on Biggie/Pac/etc 10 years ago?

We see RIGHT through you.

The same nikkas ya'll clown today will be the ones ya'll wish the new guys were "living up to today"

Welcome to the second golden age bytches!

because we weren't. i will out Pac or BIG any bozo. I was KNOCKING their albums.

 

[DaveyDave]

i was a much bigger Pac fan than Biggie to begin with but when LAD dropped i copped it and it stayed on heavy rotation for at least a year

I was a big Pac fan. Would cop his CDs on day 1. Down here, Biggie wasn't as big initially. I was one of the few dudes around here who really knew who he was before Big Poppa came out. RTD was a day one cop for me too just off the strength of Rap City.

The funk u talking bout? Until Big did it on the second album flossy rap was not huge. No hip hop head hated on ready to die lol

PAC was always hated for his Bytch ass attitude but that was only post death row.

In short this thread is full of bullshyt revisionist history

Backpackers & dirty fatigue wearing nikkas was def mad @ biggie

OP has a legit point...

Guys like The Roots,Wu Tang, Common and De La used to stay throwing shots at Pac and Big and callin them sellouts...

Then something happened at some point in the mid 90's where an Oakland slang term called "playa haters" was introduced to the mainstream and made anyone with any success in the culture above reproach..

So now the same dudes that would have sh1tted on 2Chainz, Ross, Trinidad or Drake in the 90's feel pressured into embracing them out of fear of getting the scarlett letter of "hater" from the fans and industry Super Friends...


The term "hater" (OP used it in his thread title) has ruined all objective criticism in the culture..

Talented broke rapper can't criticize untalented rich rapper because.......Well, you know...

Bought every album or tape (yes my lil nikkas I said tape) all 1st day cops for Pac Amaru except Thug Life1. Now George Latore was dope in his own right. I beat R2D from a chick I was talking 2. And did a 1st day cop for LAD.

Both incredibly talented one more than the other but I will shyt on both or anybody else cuz they human
Or at one point in time dey where

 

[HugLife]

I tell you what though I hated Chino Xl just on the strength of HEU. My homeboy tried playing duke in my whip and I frisbeed that shyt out the window. nikka still mad at me for that to this day b!

Cole and Kendrick leaders of this generation

i feel guilty for handing out playa hating degree's in Elementary now.
The 'don't be a hater' ethos effectively ended the culture policing itself and was one of the major factors in the downfall of the genre.

What are you talking about man?

so are you saying we'd have been better off with grimey street culture representing the entirety of hip-hop?

I'm talking about nobody calling out music for fear of being called a hater.

Before 'we getting money stop being a playa hata' came to the forefront being called a sell out or a biter was the worst thing in the culture...Now it's a hater.

The music ya'll would have called trash has expanded and created more legit avenues of music.

How the world looked at the South's view on rap music should be an indicator of how ridiculous these "core fans" should be viewed.

Who is this thread for? Its 2013, backpackers and "real hip hop heads" do not exist anymore...

And who was hating on Big and Pac 6 years after their death?
