The truth of the matter is we should've never let these other ****** have it in the first place. Once them west coast dudes started rapping we should've just stabbed them in their throats, then do the same to the south.

This has to be a joke... Has to be
Dead serious if we're gonna get in to the whole who killed hip hop nonsense.
Biggie was a product of pdiddy. BIG is overrated.

This doesn't make sense. Matter of fact it's not even an opinion, it's a false statement.

Nobody cared about Reasonable Doubt until the BLACK ALBUM?????

You're not even gonna give the man Blueprint????

You're not even gonna give the man Vol. 2 Hard Knock Life????

Dudes just be saying ANYTHING. That's not even an opinion.

You don't remember how everyone was watching Streets Is Watching when that dropped??

True, but the problem is when people think hiphop IS black culture and reject their roots
my problem is more with people thinking that any non african american embracing the hip hop culture is "acting black". its ridiculous.

and its no good for african americans. it pigeon holes their youth to think that venturing into other genres of music is not acceptable.
 
Black history is American history.




hip-hop culture ≠ black culture.

obviously african americans played a big part in the birth of hip hop, but so did whites and puerto ricans. and by hiphop i mean the culmination of the 4 main elements, bboying, graff, djing, and mcing. kool herc & afrika bambaataa are pioneers of the hip hop game, but so are dudes like crazy legs and seen. Hip-hop is a culture of the urban youth. its not race specific.

Dudes about to be upset.
Can't even be upset. Dude just got flawed reasoning and/or an agenda. What he should be trying to say is hip hop culture is also apart of other cultures as well as black culture like Hispanic culture but instead he's trying to take another thing away from black culture with revisionist history and a skewed perception of events and key players involved by trying to say it belongs and is for everybody. The reasoning doesn't even jive with his urban youth angle once you start looking at the origins of other genres like Rock and where it is now.

Typical tactic. I've seen it plenty of times.
 
98-04 jay had the game on lock

DMX had '98-'01 on lock

My favorite jay album is Vol 2 but jay was just blah. Reasonable Doubt was just another mafioso album. We had the Wu for that. The radio has been kind to jay through out the years but nah....but I was born and lived in queens though >D
 
J****'s music has never impressed me. I never got why he's so praised. Fashion is overrated as **** in my book.


Carry on.

my dude you just said a bunch of nothing.

how about you stop trying to micro analyze and pick apart my idea, and instead explain to me how hip-hop = black culture.

*and im not trying to take it away from black culture specifically. its part of many cultures, but the black community is the only community that tries to claim it as their own. obviously not ALL african americans feel this way but a great number do. thats why im speaking about them in particular.

Pdiddy made him. Hyped him up, created his buzz, everything. That's fact

This was all pre internet marketing too. That's no easy task

Ready to Die and Life after death are both still top 10 hip hop albums almost 20 years after their release
 
hip hop culture is and always will be a part of black culture.

This

Nobody cared about Reasonable Doubt til the Black album came out. Jay has been wack but has a fanbase that make him think he's invincible

What?! No.

Im from the south and was on that Reasonable Doubt.

Nobody Youngster didnt care about Reasonable Doubt til the Black album came out, because they was too young to know about it.

fixed
 
Big L wouldnt have been big.

when biggie said "you're nobody till somebody kills you" it was real because back then rappers could get offed at any moment

these days with someone like jay and kanye says it "people never get the flowers while they can still smell em" its not as meaningful since both of them will probably live till they are 80
