TRUE WORDS ::: DEAD PREZ 'HIP HOP'
Dead Prez "Hip Hop" is a classic that many have overlooked. But the true soldiers who have been paying attention know exactly what I getting across here. It is important that we take into account this piece of history. Not only for Hip Hop to continued growth, but for the minds of those who listen to it Black and White, and every other color in the center of the contrast.
AS THE GAME GOES :
Let me tell you a little story. The other day I am driving down Mill Ave, out here in Tempe Arizona. The top is down because it was the first cool day of the fall and our summers are hot, but the other three seasons are the best the country has to offer. Anyway, As I pass the pool hall Mill Q I realize that these two college kids were listening to some trash hop, you know that new garbage, they try to pass of as hip hop, with lame lyrical content. Now it is ok to have veriety but this shit, was not making the cut. It took no talent whatsoever. Yes it was catchy but the artist was some new comer to the game that is copying the formula but forgot to add the talent. That is the problem, they are copying instead of creating. They are doing it for the cash instead of for the love of it. They are not pushing themselve, they are just working hard at being lazy.
Listen to the vets we need the contrast of all sides.
And
And
I had to bring these videos back to the forefront.BET although I loathe them at times this was important and well executed. Although it was an execution of HIP HOP in its entirety. Which caused those with a mind to think even less of the entire genre.
I AM TIRED OF THE SAME OLD SCENARIO MOTHER FUCKERS! STOP BUYING TRASH LIKE THIS SO THAT THE TRUE WRITERS ARE GETTING THERE DUE.
I am not done yet!
