You're right but you're still misunderstanding the question itself.No
The executives who paying these radio stations for gangster rap to be played and limiting the play of conscious hip hop and radio and tv taking the bribes started the downfall…
Look u can make all the im shooting nikkas up , fukking your baby mamas and gang gang shyt all u want… it’s up to the gate keepers on radio and tv at the time to say fukk that we not playing that, we going to keep playing brand Nubian, PE, pharcyde , etc etc but after death row blew up , you started to see from rappers like Mc lyte who was all cha cha to now wanting a rough neck to jodeci in R&B go from these NC forever my lady nikkas, to timbs and skull caps
Schoolly D has been mentioned all throughout this thread.Schooly D being pretty much invisible to most heads is (insert missing Jackie Chan smiley) to me.
Schooly D is wildly underrated
Man ushered in what would become the gangsta wave as people took his blueprint and ran with it. Peep: Definitely inspired Boyz N The Hood from its production to E's cadence. Ice T certainly heard this and took notes with the street story style. And he still found some time sprinkled...www.thecoli.com
He laid the blueprint and the rest traced it. You can hear the DNA from PSK in so many tracks as well as his entire flex. One thing I do think about is how so many people refuse to realize that music is a tool or weapon (depending on the intent) and has a massive influence. Then you've got the chicken and egg of whether the raps plant the seed or are they simply watering whats within and needs a vent and that brings its own questions...
You just lost people. It's never the audience's fault.I would say record execs but before even them it's consumers.
If consumers wanted Church friendly, PG rap, that's what execs would be chasing and what record labels would be putting out
You're trying to single out the one guy who left gangsta rap he helped create to make more positive music only to come back because that's what the consumer market dictated.
Do you have a point breh?So damn corny I'm gonna need butter and salt just to wolf it down.
Huh?buffalo pincer movement between west (gansta rap), east (bling bling), south (yeah!) powered by record labels
Huh?
Both statements are incorrect.2 live crew did it first and caught all the heat ..
2 live crew is THE reason we have a "parental advisory" label on music
"The pincer movement, or double envelopment, is a military maneuver in which forces simultaneously attack both flanks (sides) of an enemy formation. This classic maneuver is important throughout the history of warfare."
"A full pincer movement leads to the attacking army facing the enemy in front, on both flanks, and in the rear. If attacking pincers link up in the enemy's rear, the enemy is encircled"

Don't these execs have people in the street to inform them where the money is before they invest?No

What does this have to do with the trends Dre may have popularized in rap music?
