well...i do my own blog of course, but i didnt know how i should send my stuff to blogs...i dont know why they would even care yaknow?

Hip-Hop has become a product as Disco did in the late 70's. Yeah it was fun for awhile, but now it's so boring. The other day i saw that Burger king commercial with with Baby got Back

-Evey (Black) artist is either Hip-Hop or RnB not true but this what everyone thinks.

For example Santogold said people were shock she said she didn't like RnB and she said it was racist to say she was that or hip-hop. The Hip-Hop clan as I like to call them went on saying oh she thinks she to good for
hip hop, Fuck hipster, Other kelis.

I mean really has this genre become somewhat of a blackness trait.

And other thing Jay-z thinks he is the king of music that has to help everyground artist with his damn verses M.i.a, Amy, Santogold. Kanye too. When a new hot artist thats not even Hip-hop to begin with,here comes the Hip-Hop clan remixing and what not.

I'm not a hip-hop hater i luv it but do like other genres too. I don't like feeling trap. I like the freedom of music.

People question what will take over Hip-hop and i say nothing cause as soon as a new sound come the Hip-Hop clan will remix it!!!!!

is alicia keys song "jealous of your girlfriend" a justified case? or no?



original:


(lets assume for a second, dirty's version relies on an original piano loop)

or

if jay namechecks in his story, that he is in fact listening to marvin gaye...does this change the "fairness of use"?



original:

so no one wants to give it a shot huh?

The topic is how have rap gone awry? The answes have been answered, but too much were looking in2 samples.. hell the first commercial rap song was brought up on Chic's Good Times..and Beatie Boy's Paul Boutique is one of rap's classic chopped up albums full of samples. So then where does the conversation go? Have the chopped samples made hip hop go astray? have the full samplings made hip hop go in the dumps...or what about the original ringtone rap Cash Money and Master P made popular made street rap almostly an underground thing? I would believe its the latter.

Apparently someone does because a thread was made asking why. But another strike against shit hop though, is it absolutely breeds cheap low class shitty attitudes like this one.

i was just curious enough to dig deeper into the context by which they declared sampling immoral

Thats why im saying...Hip Hop was formed on the basis of copying old school songs with raps over them...until they got their own instruments quickly and started doing it themselves....for a short time that is...

lol.....

it always bothers me when someone says "i hate ALL hip-hop" just like when someone says "i hate ALL country/jazz/classical", etc.

how can you know you hate something until you've actually heard it?

just as a blanket opinion, i don't like current contemporary top 40 hip-hop. gangsta rap. ringtone rap. blingsta rap. whatever you want to call it. i dislike it because musically, it sounds uninspired and it lacks energy. lyrically, i think it's all disingenuous posturing that has little connection with artistry or culture that i find valuable. lil' wayne might as well be hannah montana as far as i'm concerned.

that's not to say i don't like a lot of hip-hop, because i do. most of what i like was created in the 80s, and some in the 90s. i know what i like when i hear it, so if i hear something new coming out that people are excited about, i will at least give it an honest chance the first time i have an opportunity to hear it.

for me to say i hate an entire genre without knowing all of what i am turning my nose up at is kind of like judging something preemptively. i don't like that.

Sadly, no one makes songs like "Basketball" anymore

Sums it up perfectly 4 me, and clearly as well, on all points.

Hip-hop was very exciting from approximately 1987-1994, where U had a variety of styles, and lyrical subject matter. Skills were abundant, both lyrically and musically.

The lyrical and musical diversity is gone now, and the beats sound tired and "genericised" 2 death.

Sadly, the days of Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Chubb Rock, etc, etc, etc, R OVER.

'FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO UTTERLY LOATHE HIP HOP- WHY?'

i think some started a thread and asked a question.

Rap evolved into a misogynistic, homophobic, hyper-macho, racist, self-hating, music of death.
