Title: Post up funny misconceptions you used to have about rappers when u were a kid
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on November 27, 2011, 11:02:01 AM
-I used to think Snoop didn't really smoke weed.  Because I thought drugs were bad, and that Snoop was too smart to use drugs.  LOL

-I used to think Dr. Dre and Snoop were a real rap group, not seperate artists.  I thought they were in a group together, like Mob Deep or Outkast.  So when "Who Am I (What's My Name)" came out I was very confused.  I also couldn't understand why Snoop didn't rap more in the "Let Me Ride" video

-I used to think Snoop was actually featured on "Recognize" off Warren G's Regulate album.  I didn't know why it didn't say his name as an artist on the song.  I didn't understand the technique of producers sampling lines from other songs (DJ Premier style of chorus).

-I thought that Aaliyah's song "Back And Forth" was on the Above The Rim soundtrack just because they play basketball in the video.

-I didn't like Warren's Regulate album when I first bought it cause I thought it was too soft.

-I thought Snoop was a real pimp in real life, like he really had hoes and like the Dogg Pound were for real gangsta's that really went around shooting people.

-I thought Dr. Dre was a real killer, like that he had really killed a lot of people and was on the run from the law, mostly because of the "Rat-tat-tat-tat" off the Chronic album, I took that song literrally, LOL.

I used to think it was just a coincidence that all popular music was misogynistic just because, rather than due to societal engineering.

Word... I took that line from "Rat-tat-tat-tat" literally where he's rappin about killing mutherfuckers and says, "I never did time on a murder yet/ I sit back do a job/ and jet".  I couldn't figure out why the cops didn't just arrest him at one of his shows or at one of his video shoots.

I used to think mainstream artists were the best rappers because they were the ones with the deal making money. Confused me when I started listening to underground acts that were miles ahead.

-I used to think Snoop was actually featured on "Recognize" off Warren G's Regulators album.  I didn't know why it didn't say his name as an artist on the song.  I didn't understand the technique of producers sampling lines from other songs (DJ Premier style of chorus).

I used to think Dr Dre made the beat to "Nothin But Love" by 2pac on the "R U Still Down (Remember Me)" album until I read the credits.  I used to play that song in tha car and be like "Dad u hear Dre on them keys?" and then I'd pretend to play the notes.  To this day i still think he's talking about Dre and Snoop on the song.


Actually I thought the Death Row in-house producers (and Shock G) produced that whole album lol.  Ever since then I've been reading album credits.

I use to wonder why mc lyte sounded masculine yet her brother milk d sounded like a bitch

Wondered did Compton residents view Tim dog's fucc Compton as a joke like I did.

Wondered why people succ'd so much west coast dicc in the mid 90's

I Wondered how the fucc could 2 groups from different coast, just happened to be comprised of members named "havoc and prodigy" 

I use to think heavy d was prince markie Dee from the fat boys

Remember the first time hearing ll cool j spitting "I'm so bad I can succ my own dicc", and thinking I can never be that bad lol

I found Brian funny because of that too, but more importantly, the man cannot physically make a thread that deals with material post-8 Mile. I swear, it's like the day after the 8 Mile Soundtrack came out until now just never happened.

No, actually the cut off date is when Nas made it official with his - Hip-Hop Is Dead - album in late 06'.

Yes.   I believed him because it was true, and Nas is the hip-hop prophet/ambassador so he can make that statement.

this is the story (accordin to Prodigy)
Havikk n Proedejee jacked the Quensbidge monikers for themselves, when they saw Mobb Deep in the Unsigned Hype-section of The Source.
P confronted Havikk (of SCC) when he was in South Central, but he backed down. they gave them a pass later on, cuz both South Central Cartel and Mobb Deep have ties wit a rapper named 40 Glocc

I thought.......

Puff Daddy would sign with Death Row Records.... lol

You gotta understand from the UK, we never really got a lot from the US besides MTV.... That was it... Hip Hop magazines were invisible here.. You could only get them in big main city music shops only, IF you were lucky to get the 3 or 4 copies they imported in lol... There was no internet either, so the only way we could actually hear of any updates was from MTV news, or interviews they done, or from radio hosts, so that was only for mainstream acts, but because Dre was huge on NWA, and Snoop became apart of "Dre's" label.. (It was always put on the media as Dre's label) Then they had Nate Dogg, and Dogg Pound spring up on the radio, and it was all coming from the one label....

The only competition I remember here in the UK was Will Smith, and R&B groups.... For some reason though Puff Daddys name was known via MTV, and in here in the UK, and after 2Pac was apart of Death Row, I thought damn, this Death Row seems to be some black super power, and really did think that eventually people like Puff Daddy (even Will Smith) would be on Death Row. It was swallowing up all talent... We never really heard much about the East V West here

Again, too many people at the forum are illiterate.  How can you guys listen to rap and not understand symbolism?

When Nas' album Hip-Hop Is Dead came out that was symbolism.  The symbolic death of hip-hop.  Don't take that shit too literal and be stupid about it and think that I am saying there hasn't been any good songs since then or talented rappers since then.  Because there has.  The Distant Relatives album was dope, and Sticman's The Workout album was dope.  The Bad Meetz Evil EP had about 3-4 bangers on it.  So there has been some dope ass shit, but the cultural overall died; symbolically.

Well it is good that we are fans of such a weak ass genre that 1 artist says it is dead and it falls apart.

so how many times has this genre died?

I was convinved Snoop was brought up in a brothel. Mainly because of all the pimp stuff and also because he seemed to have so many relatives (nephews and cousins especially).

did this dude seriously say hip hop died when Nas said so?

So Kendrick Lamar, Action Bronson, Elzhi & ASAP Rocky are part of a dead genre? I'm sorry that kind of talent doesn't spit in a dead genre

Never heard of symbolism?

I suppose when I started to listen to 2Pac a lot I always took the supposed 'East-West- beef a little too seriously.  I used to think that if rappers from one coast went to the other then there could be serious trouble and gang violence just by virtue of them being there.  And also not even rappers but gangbangers in general.

Stop dodging my question Brian. Tell the truth, how many KRS-One albums have you actually listened to?

none of the above . i was not stupid .i was from real hood unlike most of you

That's just blind ignorance. As a child you cannot physically understand things before explained to you. Meaning prior to learning you attempt to think for yourself & are 9/10 wrong.
nope it is not just blind ignorance. As a child i was smarter then every child around me . i was leap before anybody in my class. i was raised by street hustlers,gang bangers,& old men of the block . they taught me about hip hop & alway were real about it. see you did not have people teching you the truth at very early age like me .i have been living & listening to hip hop since 1982. i was more advance then anybody my age . sorry if i was smarter then you & your generation . i was thinking for myself by age of 4 unlike you. so it is you who is the one with blind ignorance not me .

How come you can't write properly though?
because i don't care . it is the stupid nerdy ass internet . only losers & nerds care about that shit.

I used to think that Dr. Dre was hiding out from the law.  Dre raps on the Chronic, "I do a job and jet" after bragging about killing so many people.   So I thought when I was a kid like 11 years old and first hearing Dre that basically his life consisted of making raps, killing people, and then disappearing into the shadows hiding out from the law.
