Are we ready to talk about how lord finesse suing Mac Miller low key killed hip hop??

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

This may be a touchy subject for some…Let’s talk about it and be honest with ourselves

Old heads always shytting on young guys for not knowing their history, paying homage

Yet this nikka picked the one young artist who blatantly was a REAL HIP HOP stan and studied the culture…he saw he was getting a buzz and sued him..for what?

Nobody cared about that song mac Miller used…if anything, it got lord finesse some more plays/streams…which would be a positive for him

Mixtapes changed forever..as young artists went completely away from using old nikkas beats and just hopped on whatever trap producer they could finds below average beats .. and look where we are now …now none of the young artists give a shyt about ANY of the old heads and outright disrespect them

The one guy who tried to kinda spotlight real hip hop got slighted by an old head…thankfully he was a good person and still succeeded …the whole “backpack, real hip hop resurgence” kinda died right after this time too..and we went into the Chicago drill era shortly after

But what did lord finesse get out of this? Besides his rent for a few months?

Old heads killed the same genre they are always gatekeeping…damn shame

So - it was this one court case, and not years of the culture being watered down and commodifed by corporate America.

Got it.

This and the dj drama case killed the mixtape/not really an album game

Let’s not be naive

But specifically this killed the idea of “real hip hop nostalgia” coming back

I think the sample became an issue for Lord Finesse after the Mac Miller song blew up so I understand why he had an issue with it

Lord finesse is a legend. Stop hating on him and blame the evil corporations that push garbage music.

You are reading way too much into this
There will always be people who are into the throwback sounds, "real hip hop nostalgia" is alive and well to this day. It just isn't pop, and tbh that's fine

The DNA of 'real hip-hop' is still all over modern hip-hop.

Players sampled 'The Message' which came out 40 years ago. Mel and them probably got paid for it too.

shyt - Drake got sued for interpolating Rappin 4-Tay two years later, so it's not like everyone suddenly stopped referencing older acts after Mac Miller got sued.

Someone like French Montana's entire career is built off basically sampling classics.

No-one here's being naive. You're trying to argue from a flawed position.

drake becoming the face of hip-hop killed it, you stan

I remember after this lawsuit, artists mixtapes that were once available on the streaming platforms got removed. This even affected the release for Currensy's and Wiz follow up mixtape to How FIy.
