Common really made I used to love her in the middle of a golden era

[mobbinfms]

he was on that super hiphop, backpack rap shyt so of course him and his type were gonna whine about anything that wasn't on some philisophical, spin on ya head and spray paint the walls type shyt

Common was a drunk known for administering instrumentals.

 

[BK360NATL]

Man, that Boss album was hot garbage. It had Deeper and one other track that I would check for. Another of the long list of weedplates from that era that I purchased. The Deeper track was alright and got spins of the video shows. Never heard it in the clubs. But once her background got out in those days, it was a wrap.

Def Jam tried to be slick and get in on the gangsta rap trend with her. It failed.

 

[Damnshow]

b/c he worked w/ the neptunes? song is inspired by planet rock btw.
how is this not hiphop?

I am well aware of planet rock reference and it's obvious he worked with neptunes on this song

I am saying he sold out judging by the content of the song. It has a hidden agenda.

Dude makes a great song, the people



few years later he makes that bullshyt ass universal mind control telling people to look at themselves as some piece of technology. Whole album was very bad for Common standards.

 

[Big Boss]

nikkas was complaining about the shiny suit era in the 90s

 

[Damnshow]

nikkas been complaining about Hip Hop since Hip Hop was invented.

Me, Myself, and I came out in ‘89 complaining about the gold chains and tough guy image in hip hop.

Crossover came out in 92, complaining about nikkas making songs for radio play.

I Used to Love H.E.R in 94

Stakes is High and What They Do in 96

All these was during the “Golden Era”

Same nikkas that was crying back then is crying today.

That’s why I tell these young nikkas to pay the old heads no mind.

Complaining in Hip Hop is tradition.

Hip Hop right now is a freeroam. There are no rules anymore, anyone can make quick career outta it. Remember how 10-15 years ago some youtube channels would make funny rap songs. Now dudes in this decade are making an actual career out of these goofy ass jon lajoie type of songs.

While I don't like it when dudes just complain about every new song...there needs to be some slight criticism at very least, some set of rules, otherwise there will be no improvement. Some music fans just love blindly accepting everything new cause it's trendy.....that's how you get bullshyt like that hermaphrodite looking ass spic saying word nikka on tha record with bunch of c00ns behind his back.

 

[SAJ!!]

To be fair he also dissed Onyx and DAS EFX. It wasn't like his whole problem was with gangsta rap....it was more so the gimmicks that had started to pop up.

Fred.

Especially with that "slammin' her and takin' her to the sewer" line.

I was surprised that neither Onyx nor Das dissed back.

 

[Taadow]

You’re out your rabbit azz mind if you really think that. I don’t wanna read nothing else you gotta say.

Everything he done said in here was BUTT-ASS BACKWARDS...

 

[SAJ!!]

I don't blame them really.

They dropped "Stakes Is High" because Tommy Boy told them to change up their shyt after "Buhloone Mindstate". They were basically told "nobody is feeling your weird shyt any more."

Which is why the album is so angry and hard, by De La standards.

Fred.

I know that Treach was VERY pissed off about that intro.

But that's how it was in '96 with the Old Guard going against the Young Guns during that period.

I agree

Masta Ace didn't drop this for no reason

The crazy part of this is the supposed to be funny West coast gangsta skit sounds better than the real song that came on after the skit.




Edit: Oh yea, for the people that don’t know. Masta Ace was dissing Sacramento rapper Brotha Lynch Hung with that skit

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

this is not selling out.. its basically a shout out to 80s Zulu nation records

that’s even worse, Bam batti boy been canceled.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Please

Since NWA, record companies slowly choked out the other 50-11 forma of Hip Hop until basically all popular Hip Hop was Gangsta Rap.

94 was when the last of the 80s groups gasped their last and the landscape was drugs and guntalk. From East to Mid to West to South.

I have a lot of favorites among the 90s acts but I have 5x as many acts that I hate.

Common was more soothsaying than anything. Like Hip Hop is Dead. It really is now, but it wasn't quuuiiite done when Nas made that record (to me 2003 is the cutoff of Classic Hip Hop but in 2006 here was still hope among the denizens)

Immaculate song. Fathered a lot of other tracks that came after.

Led to one of the greatest rap beef upsets ever.

I hold the 90s as the pinnacle of Hip Hop so I'm not saying 94 was a bad year. But I see what he was driving at. And it happened.

 

[Lhark]

Nah, the genre of gangsta rap is trash, I mean when you think about 94 the only gangsta rap song that stands the test of time is Regulators, which is barely a gansgta record

When you look at Tupac's classic records none of them are gangsta songs

Changes, Keep your Head up, I ain't mad at ya, I get around, California Love, So many Tears, Dear Mama, etc

ain't no putting gangsta party when they listening to Pac lmao

The Gangsta rap sound trash, you play any of them albums right now the shyt is not listenable, you not gonna bump no Mc Eiht with the windows down lmao, maybe Straight Up Menace but thats it

Gangsta Rap was too vulgar, I mean if you compare those records to rap today, they will not play that shyt in any establishment I mean Po Pimp by Do or Die is way more vulgar than the music today so let that sink through your head

You can still play Tribe Called Quest Music and not look like a damn fool

How you just shyt on the entire sub genre like that

 

[Flav]

Record Companies was sucking west coast gangsta rap dry. They was signing anybody that wore a pair of Locs. I kinda see why common made that song and I see why Cube and them responded.
