Saw a Pete Rock/CL smooth video and instantly thought of: “…just make my beats phaggot!…”
The reason why culturally viewing those who violated.
Finally getting what should have been said a long time ago.
Instead of the puff level down grading.
of the level and quality of emcee'n.
Leading to the degradation of quality in rap overall with Pete rock. As the so called lesser skilled producer rapper and not an actual emcee.
Plus the effects of not adhere'n in full. To the culture for violating now.
Really makes you wish.
rap had some cultural connection to hiphop in it.
Or to voice certain sentiments and culturally having some backing to those mores and norms from other bboys and bgirls.
Now there are no more new bboys or bgirls.

That whole era and aesthetics is something that’ll never come back nor properly be replicated, basically 94-2005. You had the grimier portion of 94-97 leading into the flashier portion of the latter half. It’s really a feeling that can’t be replicated no matter how hard they try, from the music to the commercials to the fashion.
It will not come back.
Yet it will be a degradative cul desac suburban apocalypse now marquee style erosion.
As the neighborhoods and urban areas.
those videos and culture were recorded and took place.
have been forever changed in landscape.
Plus the reduction of criminal activity.
by three times the previous era's.
The very concrete and urban visual marketing changes. To emulate more marquee like storefronts imilar to mini Manhatten everywhere.
HAs started.
to create what will become the dystopia futures. We witness in ghost in the shell.
Will be the only thing to attach. To bring upon and add to the lack of analog warmth.
in the now cold digital era.
America is being saturated with that same foreign poverty marquee look.
That used to be reserved for movies like escape from NY or Bladerunner.
Or the Tom Selleck movie were rhe bullet chased you with you name on it.
Pardon my memory having a Freudian slip of the name of that movie.
Now everywhere potentially is building to. Or has this smoked out day of the dead cul de sac suburban small town meets mini manhatten marquee look. That eventually it will super become saturated.
To begin to emulate the movie visuals. that we're once in bladesrunner, slash Larry hamas Wolverine asian lore background.
versus the hand apocalypse Now style suburban luminary backgrounds.
Now are commonplace and reflective of a world in a mono style look. That will make futuristic backgrounds of movies.
Become the common norm.
Futher creating disconnect from that time and era.
While only being reflective in the media from lore like backgrounds. Featured in Blade runner to foreign urban decay bollywood and African Hollywood b movies and films.
