The problem is the ideology from old heads saying the new kids should pay homage and hear every rap album that came out since '88...that's just ridiculous..
You only tellin HALF the story, though....which is the REAL problem.
Because the reality is, this shyt is RECIPROCAL. For every old head saying that young people should pay homage, there's a young person saying that anything past their generation is immaterial and irrelevant (
"don't nobody care about them old ass nikkas....they just hating on the young dudes gettin money", etc.)
Disregarding history is
JUST as fukking stupid as trying to uphold passed principles.
THAT'S the problem...neither side which follows those sensibilities wants to budge, when the reality is they're BOTH wrong.
People need to stop blaming ONE side for this shyt. It's both sides.
And anyone who fails to acknowledge that - on EITHER side of the spectrum - is being a disingenuous a$$hole. Period.
