Funkmaster Flex disses Jay-Z live on HOT 97 + Jay-Z buying HOT 97?

The DC rap scene isn't actually bubbling right now either or has ever for that matter. NYC has a legit underground scene right now with some legit young artists that's putting out quality music.

Lol we never proclaimed to be a "hip-hop" city so if that was supposed to be an insult you're going to have to try again.

Insult you on a messageboard because we differ in opinions about music ? Nah bro its never that serious. at chocolate city never proclaiming to be a "hip hop city" you can do better than that bro. I'm guessing because Go Go is/was your type of "sound" that is no excuse why since hip hop's inception DC has NEVER had a consistent main stream artist who is known outside of the East Coast besides Wale. Considering how much of a lame he is that's a shame

Do better than what?

DC didn't even FULLY embrace Hip-Hop until very recently. This was a GO-GO town. Every kid on every block could quote Big G from Backyard Band before they could quote Jay-Z or Nas. So bringing up DC as a rebuttal to NYC's hip hop scene being flabby and sick right now is falling on deaf ears.

It's ok bro. Everything comes back around...one day...you guys will return to glory but right now it's not happening.

I like you as a poster , you consistently drop insightful **** in a multitude of threads so I'm just gonna chalk this up as us having different opinions and leave it at that.

The irony. Dissing NY rap, but every area of the country has heard and dismissed that pots, pans and garbage can lids repetitive crap. You all think it's because it's your thing, no it's because it's not good.

I remember when I first went to college and dudes brought me to a DC Party and I found out they were going to play that all night. A kid was pissed.

See how they be in their feelings?

I'm well aware how people outside of DC feel about go-go...so why would you try to make this a dc go-go vs nyc hip hop thing?

People outside of DC don't like go-go.

NYC Hip-Hop is looking flabby and sick.

Both are true. You have no debate here with me. 

Move around.

NYC hip hop is still above what DC has ever done with rap or go-go.

Thank God for Marvin Gaye :\

Look at you still trying to get a go-go vs hip-hop debate going 

You New Yorkers sure don't go down without swinging...that's for sure.

Spike Lee helped the world hear go-go and it stayed local

The world heard rap, and it went national and international.

Same with what was hot in Chicago, LA, Houston, Atlanta, Miami, Bay Area, Memphis, Philly...

DC...critckets

Honestly, Jay wasnt really popping nowhere but New York until after Money Cash **** and Hard Knock Life.  That mainstream exposure is really what got him on, the turn of the century/millenium was a huge time in hip hop, and Jay was in the middle of it.  He has profited well and had some really good albums between 96-03.  That was his prime.  But without the business and financial success, its really hard to put him ON FLOW ALONE on that "top 5 dead or alive" argument.

A lot of people compare Jay to other rappers, and a lot of that IMO is because Jay Z is the most popular, due to his mainstream and business success, think about it, with Big Pac Nas Eminem Pun Kiss Rakim can you really say he was better than any of them as an emcee, or do you have to put his success into the argument as well?

Also, i hear you on the Jay Z thing. I wasnt around for all of that as i was born in 95, but i agree i dont think Jay is as good as everyone proclaims him to be. Im not saying he's whack but i feel like he pretty much was in the right place at the right time type of situation.

Don't get me wrong Jay z is good but that's exactly how I always felt about him tho, just perfect timing

I still have a "Best of DC Gogo" CD that belonged to my sister.

It has the Budweiser frog song on it.

 

[q-ball2220]

My cousin used to love gogo music, I can't front some of it ain't too bad, better than Baltimore club music and I'm from Baltimore. I see different states like Baltimore music tho
