Plus you add in that tagging and bboying is big in Europe and Japan but basically non existent in the mainstream here. Hip hop started with the dj, the mc was the last to get shine, now the mc(barely) is the only thing left. Who are the top 5 rappers in the mainstream at the moment? Now, who are their DJays?
that’s party due to in the US we get the current artist in they prime, and 2 days later later we get the next one coming into our city.
Any rapper who stops doing hip-hop because he can't get a show in the states obviously lost his way at some point.
We're not talking about getting a show, we're talking about making a substantial living that can allow these "underground" artists the opportunity to keep doing what they're doing. Nevermind Planet Asia, insert any underground artist. They put out a vinyl or merch, where is a majority of those vinyl/merch sold? In Europe. So now that they've made their bread, they can go make something new. That's all Planet Asia is saying.
But planet Asia for example is not making classics that would get him even a substantial following stateside. A nation like Germany where the population is so hemogenous I'm sure a nikka still wearing a g unit t shirts would be treated as an ambassdor for hip-hop. They're more thankful because their culture is permeating with cac.
Breh what the hell are you talking about
explain why Kool G Rap, KRS and Kane all have said the exact same thing then
Trust me, Germany (and the rest off Europe for that matter) are well aware of current trends and waves in hip hop. This ain't the 1980s where music had to be sent by passenger pigeon from America. The fact that I'm talking to you is testament to that.
Cause the people of nyc have seen them perform 1000 times since 91. Plus they have relevant new artist from city outright now they need for support.
