This is the origin of hip hop. "Real Hip Hop" if you will. Lighthearted party music made from disco breaks. The hypocrisy in so many "real" rap fans opinions would be comical if they weren't so obnoxious and judgmental towards others.

If real hip hop is lighthearted party music (which is always has been and always will be), what does that make the hip hop that purists/nerds consider to be "real hip hop" ?

It's a wide genre. I don't believe in the label "real hip hop". It's too vast now for one term to describe it all. Nobody argues over whether Van Halen is "real rock" because it's different from Buddy Holly. This debate should be a non-starter amongst us fans, but so many still bite and waste their time doing so.

This is true, in essence there's just good and bad music. Same in any genre
This is the origin of hip hop. "Real Hip Hop" if you will. Lighthearted party music made from disco breaks. Next, this is what the rabid "purist" nerds claim is "real hip hop".I don't see many similarities. Why so serious? The hypocrisy in so many "real" rap fans opinions would be comical if they weren't so obnoxious and judgmental towards others.

We may sit here arguing what constitutes good hip hop, then some Caucasian comes along and says "it's all nigger noise to me" and shits on everything.
