@ff1one@yahoo. Exactly. I’m a old school head myself and lyricism is a big thing for me as well, but I also know a catchy song when I hear it.

I dont hate the lil nicca waka, his shit catchy as hell, and this coming from an old head who rock scarface and 3 stacks in the whip.

LOL @ first commenter. I actually think it’s pretty damn easy to KNOW what music I like, thats why I listen to it. Are you trying to say that I like the stuff on the radio, but I can’t accept it to the point where I never listen to it in any way or form? …HA okay maine. I must love young money so much that I neverrrr listen to them.

Soooo much logic there it’s continually flying over my head. If I like something I listen to it, simple as that. Brownie points for trying the intellectual angle though, but failure.

I think this was one of the best BLOGS and Topics addressed in the hip hop community in years.

Salutes to my dude Don for his comments.

I’ll sum it up like this.

Last week i was tailgating with some buddies as my former school (the university of south carolina) beat the number one college in the country. Before the game we were listening to some old school hip hop ie wu tang and a tracklist that i put together. We then turned on some nas…Illmatic. we knew all the words. it took us BACK….

as the crowd grew and we needed some music to get the preveribal “bootyshaker” to come over and shake her azz. My big homie dropped that wacka and Wale song and the crowd went crazy. Afterwards me whom was trying to bump some str8 lyrical joints new and old tapped him and ask if he had hard in the paint and we took it to another level.

Point is,
hip hop has evolved. hip hop has so many sub generes and that is not a bad thing. Diveristy gives us all a selection. Its great to have a song for various occassions and moods.

People hate wacka because they want to put him in the same lane as a lyricist BUT wacka is an entertainer who rhymes to a beat. hip hop is the closest genre to his music BUT you can believe its a little rock and pop in that joint.

To hate on wacka is destroying hip hop.

kat stacks is apart of the game and tho i hate her and this radio add that is promoting her hosting an event at a local club is terrible. BUT u can’t hate her hustle. Hoes been around since jesus was slingin that pimp juice.

“real” hip hop fans has to embrace this and know the difference between a lyrical dude and a entertainer. no need to call him a coon or sell out…respect dudes contribution to hip hop.

Half of this article is flawed because you will NEVER get me to believe that Klap Snatch has anything to do with my Culture. As for Wocka, I just don’t like him. Period.

C’mon, Brooklyne.

Do you know Ed Wood? The wackest movie director in the history of all that is history. And we love him for that. When someone is so wack but try so hard, believe in it and manage to be entertaining at the same time with a stroke of luck so unbelievable, that’s what you get. An enjoyable, almost lovable character, like the crackhead cousin that occasionally crash you barbecue.

You don’t have to love the cousin because he’s your blood. You can’t possibly disown him or evict him from the premises, because you’re family. But you’re allowed to think that he’s a dumbass.

So basically, hating on Flocka is different from self hate.

HipHop has always had mediocre rappers, the scary thing is now in 2010 these mediocre rapeprs are the super stars and the real MC’s aint getting a look in. It aint about lyrics and shit anymore its chants, and if the beats are hot. maybe we are just going in a circle and the lyrics and actual talent will come to to fore front once again!

and Kats stacks!! just cos she is nearly black and fux’s with a few rappers doesnt make her HIPHOP it makes her a hoe …theres a difference!

People like waka have turned a once legitimate art form into a joke. And BET is without a doubt the worst thing to hit the black community since Jim Crow and Ronald Reagan. All these media outlets have fooled little kids into thinking that your either famous or unsuccessful. Sad. What ever happened to our forward thinkers. If unintelligent, untalented, dope heads is whats cool these days count me out. I don’t hate hip-hop I’ve learned a lot from hip-hop but anyone with ambitions beyond prison or their next blunt has to hate the message these days. Fucked up part is that I’m not old I’m 22 I just know I wont be 22 for another 22 years and I don’t plan on being a cracked out nigga trying to live on welfare when I’m in my 30′s cuz when I was young I felt I had to live young. My niggas wake up if the only thing you bump is bullshit it will systematically brainwash you into a nothing ass nigga.

All i have to say is that there used to be a time when you really had to work hard and prove oneself to even have a morsel of stardom, now all you have to do is post something on Youtube, Twitter and you are a star. Even rappers (won’t name who i’m talking about) nowadays can be nominated for awards before even having an album drop.

It’s the time we live it. I thank God i barely caught 1997, and okay 2001 cause after that – it’s a wrap. Put a fork in it!

It’s borderline irrational to hold the Waka Flockas and Kat Stacks’ of the world responsible for how hip-hop “feels”. If making chart toppers makes this a time of crisis then hip-hop has been in crisis since Hammer.

Kevin Nottingham is a real hip-hop site that rates albums well, checks for the underground, pays a balanced approch to mainstream & has a strong original hip-hop views. XXL, WSHH & The Source is an “Urban” site which means its for white kids who need to goto guild on what rap is.

Now my comment on this particular subject, Why is Kat Stacks even in this subject? Like she isent part of hip-hop, the music or anything related to it. See this is why XXL stay taking L’s
