You said that people that buy merchandise don't have the right to participate, and would get laughed at. How does someone get into something if they weren't a fan first? For the last time, I never said fans shouldnt participate, I said that just because somebody buys some shit (cds) that does not make them a fuckin artist. "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken."
I like how you avoided the Elvis part, then answered most querstions with questions.
Its like the difference between grape juice and grape kool aid.
Music has no colour.It is heard through the ears, not seen with the eyes.End of story.

Shallow if you can't see why the streets are such an important part of Hip Hop then you don't understand the essence of the culture and really have no place commenting.
1. You brought it up and you can't prove it. Your fake sources are worthless.2. I meant my streets phase, not my rap phase. I haven't grown out of rap, I just don't listen to it as much anymore.3. I would consider everyone you named at leat gang related at one time. Hammer has changed not but he gets no love in streets and hasn't since his first album. Nelly, Clef, Cee Lo, and Saadiq aren't even considered rappers don't get the same respect Big, Pac, or Jay get. Red is definately gang related.4. So now you're a country expert. David Allan Coe wasn't from the country and no one questions his authenticity. Shaniah Twain is from Canada and not from the prairies. She is one of country's biggest stars. 5. I wasn't putting words in your mouth. I said "if" you think.....6. What would you call him? Just because he produces too doesn't mean he doesn't rap. And he puts on a strong street front.

Shallow if you can't see why the streets are such an important part of Hip Hop then you don't understand the essence of the culture and really have no place commenting. I'm not denying the importance of the street culture in hip hop. Every other genre of music changes with who adopts it. The Blues weren't created in the city but a large Blues style and scene emerged from Chicago. It was alittle different from the southern Blues scene and the Louisiana blues scene, but it was still Blues. The street culture in New York is a lot different from the one in LA, why was it okay for LA to adopt hip hop and have a very different sound, but not okay for Idaho. Why was it okay for the South to adopt it. Ever been to Atlanta? It's hardly New York. What else you have to realize that that New York rappers would call non-New York rap second rate or not official.Once again, ny opinoon stands the same as Chuck D's when it comes to what rap or hip hop is. It's the the next wave of Rock and Roll. First it was Rhythm and Blues, then Rockabilly, then Bristish Invasion, then Pshychodelic, then Folk rock, then Metal, then Punk (but metal re-emerged), then Grunge (which was basically a new punk), and now Hip Hop. Each of those musics took something from each of the ones before them and did something a little different. If the next wave of Rock and Roll comes from Idaho by white kids who rap while playing instruments or not, then it'll be the next wave of rock and roll. Whether Turf considers it official doesn't mean shit to me. Whether it's called hip hop doesn't matter either. Whatver emerges as the next attitude is the next wave of rock.P.S. Is Bubba Sparxx official hip hop according to you guys?
1. fine by me. and please say "I don't like his music". You have no authority to say it sucked.2. It's called growing up. How old are you? 16? The "street" can leave you, like it left Malcom X, Tony Danza, or Bill Cosby. What I mean by that is acting like you are from the street when you reach adulthod is immature and stupid. Committing petty street crimes is immature and stupid. That is what being from the streets means to me and everyone else I know.3. Gang related means you associate with gansters and socialize them while maybe getting in a little trouble. As opposed to be a full fledged gang member.4. The point is that Coe is respected in the country community as authentic.5. I wasn't trying to imply that. In fact I belive it was your own prejudice that you lead you to think that, but I will better explain in the future.6. So what about Bubba?
