47. "this" In response to In response to 26 Tue Aug-30-16 09:29 AM by bearfield
no one likes to be told that the thing that they spent a lot of time "getting good at" doesn't matter. it purports to invalidate their opinions (it doesn't) and implies that the time getting good at 90s hip hop was wasted (it wasn't)
a lot of people really bought into that "rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live" mantra and just can't let go. it's music. it's supposed to evolve and change. otherwise it's stuck, endlessly repeating itself and failing to change with the times, like post-70s jazz or maybe 00s rock, eventually fading into a niche genre that no one cares about. hip hop deserves better than that
