Europe Saved HIP HOP!! Not The Streets!! - Planet Asia....What Does The Coli Think?

[L. Deezy]

he posted a series of tweets, about how Dilla/DITC and others' best concert vids are from Europe. about how everyone in the US latched onto Dilla after he died while Europe was all over Slum Village and his other projects

its true, for ug hiphop Europe shyts all over us. they support, they get acts billed and get doper shows

Asia got a nice following and cant get book a show in big ass Philly, cant remember the last time he came to this area. it sucks, everyone gotta be from the East

Everytime I say Dilla got bigger in death, I get back talk. Thats true shyt

its an absolute fact. not that he didnt have a big following, he did, but he didnt sell out of everything he pressed like he did in death. look at Big L, Lifestylez went wood it took him dying to get major looks here. US ug fans can be dikkriders

He's not lying...

Europe is saving classic Soul/RnB/Blues/Hip Hop acts...

You can have an entire career in Europe doing 60s RnB/Soul.....style

America is trendy...and only cares about the trends...


Europe cares about the art.

I agree... the streets don’t support shyt.

shyt man guys like Coolio & Petey Pablo still get love over seas. Check Petey's ig

 

[Dead End]

Yeah, well, part of it is that those areas can't and don't produce much quality hip-hop themselves.

 

[fortheblessings]

Your legends can't even tour in america, but get love in europe.

I can’t lie, I never paid attention to how big a European fan base could be until I saw how Griselda Records basically built there brand off of overseas support

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

when I was in Germany, it was normal for guys like Edo G or Masta Ace to perform in front of thousands. Strangely, Europeans don't throw away our legends like blacks do her in amerikka.

They have an appreciation for quality vintage hip hop, and dont readily discard an old but good artist because there's a new fad going around the kids are doing.
Old hip hop acts that no one books in the US are eating very well touring in Europe.

That saves hip-hop how?

Considering hip-hops origins......

well... if they weren't eating, they wouldn't do it, meaning we'd have a fraction of what we have now, so yes. Origins has nothing to do with anything lol... if it was a fire in a building and a white firefighter saved black guy, I don't think we care about considering origins

I lost count of the times I saw Slum Village in London back when Baatin was still in the group. Dudes were out there circulating heavy around 99-01.
