A big problem with rap

[Shin]

E.g, Some youngins boldly state that Fabolous is better than Ice Cube, that Noreaga & CamRon is garbage, that KRS-One is a old ass geek who got clowned by Nelly.. that Mobb Deep is a wack ass retirement crew.. that Diplomats is a supertalented crew etc.

I'm proud of these youngins!

I just wanted to throw in that the worst fans in hip-hop are the Canibus groupies.  I swear they think that everything that he's drops is classic (except C True Hollywood Stories but they make excuses like it was wack on purpose).

Check out the forums at Canibus Central dot com.  These guys are a fucking joke.

lol i've never checked that out...i've never been a big fan of canibus but i think most ppl here would agree that the shit hes droppin on this rip the jacker album will be a classic. its definetely the best i've ever heard from him...or atleast in my opinion it is.

I don't think Smartass is picking on new rap-fans.. it's more dissing of artists he doesn't like.. even if those he actually like may seem stranger, at times..

KRS-One is a old ass geek who got clowned by Nelly..

LMAO

THE FANS

rap fans are very cold when it comes to new rap fans. Instead of tryin to help the genre grow we bash the young kids an new fans for not knowing as much as u do.  i see it so many times.  Like when haterats said all rap fans as of 2000 should be killed.  Okay with that mind set how the fuck is the genre supposed to grow if we dont let people into it.  it dont make sense.  also another thing i dont understand is if u dont know as much as the next person.  If you wanna be a tru hip hop head u gotta listen to all underground rap regardless of how wack one of the guys may be.  u also have to kno there b-day,  social security number,  an there mothers madien name.  Than when it comes to sales,  this is hilarious.  Like when they say we need to support real hip hop like the roots an gang starr so people kno what hip hop is really about.  an than u ask,  well did u buy the album??? nah i downloaded it an burned it.

You're exactly right, rap fans need to step back, and look at how they act.  there's a LOT of frontin' going on, they think they're more intelligent, blah blah blah.  Really man, it's a problem with RAP not just the fans.  You get this shit all around.  Lots and lots of ignorance, it comes from like you said heads not wanting any new fans, but yet they want their artist to sell, but yet if they sell any at all they're considered a sell-out, but they complain when they don't sell shit, but... on and on and on.  There's all kinds of this shit in rap, even when Rappers call every single woman a bitch, what's that about?  Rap itself is responsible for the loss of quality in the music, in my opinion, for what you mentioned
