You dont see the bigger picture. The bigger picture is that poisonous rap like this is PURPOSELY being pushed to the black youth. Theres a bigger plan/agenda at play here that you dont see.

I have to admit I do not like the state of hip hop right now but I do not complain neither. Just play the old school shyt and call it a day if you don't like what is playing on the air today. I will never, ever complain about how another person makes their money. All the old school rappers made money their way and the new generation is making money their very own way also. Just live with it. If you don't like it, listen to something that you like but no need to complain if you are not going to do anything to stop it.

This song is not really that bad, I actually like it. I do not live in the golden age of rap no more. I listen to it but my taste of music has always been very diverse.

So. Cal
you clearly don't read my post, cuz im anything but brain dead. u the brain dead one trying to marginalize what people can and cant rap about. Or how they should and shouldn't rap. Who they shouldn't and should be.

if its good for vine. Put it in a sub genre called "Vine Rap" and let the nikkas who into that be into that. If thats what the culture has evolved into. thats fine...

I dont bump OT Genysis, BUT I HAVE ZERO problem with him expressing himself however he see's fit based off of HIS REALITY and EXPERIENCES. That's Hip Hop...

You no different from Troy Ave. saying nikkas is weirdos for not rapping about gold chains and coke. THATS GROUPTHINK, THATS BRAINDEAD, MUTHAfukkA! You no different than a cop who thinks all blacks are "thugs".

Hip Hop is self expression, there is no one solidly defined version of what self expression is. Only dumb ass rap fans divide their own culture based off of their own personal taste. Chief Keef, Talib Kweli, MF DOOM, Freddie Gibbs, Jay Z are all hip hop. Its just nikkas talking about their environment and experiences based of WHATS REAL TO THEM!

If THIS aint for you, there will be somebody who it is for. STOP BEING A BLIND HATER. Cuz that limits the growth of the culture.

Run DMC coulda said, nah we aint doing the Aerosmith joint. That aint Hip Hop! It's forever expanding and being reinterpreted if YOU REALLY LOVED THE CULTURE U WOULD ENJOY THAT AND RESPECT nikkaS ART.

X - CLAN toured with MC HAMMER. Then the industry saw fit to divide and conquer and yall dumb ass nostalgia fans fell for it hook line and sinker. WE R ALL ONE.
breh fukking stop. Im all for different types of hiphop. The only thing I said was this isn't expanding rap seeing how nikkas have been rapping about coke since the 80s. Coke rap hasn't been expanding anything since 84. And what's this idea because I don't bump this bullshyt so somehow im trying to crush the genre or stop people from bumping this shyt? IMO this shyt sucks and hiphop has been raping about the samething in the mainstream for over 20 years and it's only getting more narrow minded. Stop acting like a spoiled child when mommy tells him to turn off the game and just think about what OP is saying instead of going on full defence mode.

All this shyt about me thinking all black folks are thugs or only people should rap about gold chains is ridiculous and has nothing to do with mine or OPs point. This track fukking sucks that is that. The problem is shyt like this gets promoted and not actual quality hiphop. Gimmick rap is fine as long as the foundation of hiphop culture is be pushed and promoted which is not happening. You're actually making OPs point when you mention the variety of acts that preformed in the 80s/90s. Do me a favour and tell me a concert that has showed a variety of hiphop acts last year?

The fact that you think everything and everyone that puts words to a beat should be excepted in our culture just by putting out music is the same reason why Macklimore and this Iggy bytch are running the game right now. You have zero respect for hiphop as a culture breh. The fact that you put a classic like Rock This Way and legends like X Clan as a defence to probably one of the worst rap songs ever created shows your naivete in not only rap but hiphop as a culture itself. I'm not against dude expression through hiphop but I am against this shyt being one of a million tracks just like it being pushed by people that haven't a clue about our culture. You speak about sub genres and variety but tell me where was the variety in Hiphop in 2014?

Also why are you going so hard for this knowing what he's glamorizing has completely destroyed our culture? All we get is Coke rap, Gang rap, No problems and are women aint shyt but hoes rap. There is a whole other side to our culture. Why are you going so hard for the ones that have all the promotion and the backing of the music industry and is only speaking about the most horrific acts in our community?

You say I'm trying to marginalize HipHop but you're the one going ham for the people that are doing exactly that. Im just a consumer with a wish. You are backing the people that have literally marginalized our culture to just whores, gang bangers and drug dealers. I'm not the problem breh but maybe to someone like you I am.

Well this is what we call urban music right now in Dominican Republic:



Short forgettable verses and catchy hooks over beats that imo all sound almost the fukking same, I have even heard versions without the verses at some clubs, with the rise of "bang in the whip and in the club" music it wouldn't surprise me if part of mainstream hip hop devolved into something similar, shyt you can say it already has.
