For those of you too young, they claimed that it wasn't real music, that it didn't take any talent, it was a gimmick that would play out, etc. This was back when Erick B and Rakim and Public Enemy were in their prime, guys all of us regard as legends. Think about that for a minute.

Haha...seriously, how often did your folks say that to you growing up? I used to bump PE and X-Clan and moms would trip on me cause she didn't understand what they were saying. I listened to Ice-T, N.W.A., and Above The Law and she just gave me shit about the profanity and threatened to take the tapes away. Both of them were always complaining about how it wasn't music, how it wouldn't last and it was just a fad like disco...and this was 15 years ago now. And of course they would always try and compare Ice Cube to James Brown and talk about how back in their day, people could sing, and that rap wasn't anything but talking to a beat.
It's really disturbing to me to see that these folks on DubCC who are obviously younger than us (most of them barely into their 20s, at most) are more closed-minded and conservative in their musical tastes than we are. You're not supposed to become that way until you're old and bitter that things aren't the same way they were back in your day. Yet these young'uns are glorifying an era they never lived in, pretending it was so much better than it was, all because it makes them feel so much more intelligent than they are. It's like you, me, and SGV all agree...they're just ignorant, so they say retarded bullshit.

The sad thing is, I'm not much older than most of these guys who are going on and on about the South being bullshit. I'm 22. But, I started listening to Hip Hop just as the West Coast was emerging. I was listening to Hip Hop when the South made it known they were more than just 2 Live Crew and Geto Boys. That's when we saw the (commercial) emergence of groups like UGK, 8-Ball & MJG, Outkast and Goodie Mob. I was able to see the struggle they went through to even scratch the surface of the national fan base. Then, a few years later, I was able to have seen the first true power house label in the South emerge, No Limit (Rap-A-Lot was and still is the staple of all Southern labels, but it wasn't as huge, commercially as No Limit). So, for someone to bash the South is laughable to me. Because they struggled and strived to be where they're at right now. The South never has relied on fans outside of the Southern region to support them. If they did, great. If they didn't, no big deal.
At the same talking, I was around to see the East Coast hate on the West, at their (The West) prime. I remember always thinking, "Damn, why can't they just let the West be successful?" Because, like you idiots here, they were ignorant and couldn't stand seeing music they didn't like blow up. Just because YOU don't like it doesn't make the music wack, it just means it's not your taste. Fine. You can call it wack, sure, but don't sit here and say "so and so isn't Hip Hop because..." yet, support an artist that you like makes a VERY SIMILAR type of music. That's what we call being a hater.

People take hip-hop too seriously. It's party music you backpackers. Not everything has to be thought provoking.

Some of these morons don't even listen to shit that's thought provoking. To have the nerve to bad mouth the South for not being "intellectual" while they support Snoop, Daz and Kurupt. LMAO. Fuckin' dumbasses.
