this is somehow a hip hop audience problem
at first i was getting what he was saying but the more i thought about it
i think its some real self hatred going around in hip hop in general
after how many years and people still don't think of it as a 'legit'
artform
when he asked who's gonna be performing like prince and madonna
i could definitely name a whole bunch of rappers
as long as they have the passion for it and they still have an audience
they're good

the finicky ignorance he was talking about is a problem with the youth in general in this country.
when i'm at work and i hear white people talk about their genres
they have the same complaints about now adays 'rock' and how kids
love 'throwaway' music etc.

so yea i do agree that hip hop fans are finicky and ageist etc
but it's not JUST hip hop. and also i know MANY young people who LOVE
the crap coming out....AND listen to what we call music from the 'good ole days' lol there's just no accounting for taste basically
as an artist you gotta navigate that and stop the fucking complaining

dude sold his ass did pump it up and didn't get the stardom from it
that he wanted and now he's mad.

lol

but yea some of the other people speaking made me cringe lol
