The movie The Breaks tonight on Vh1 (Starring Mack Wilds and Method Man)

[mobbinfms]

Bedwenching.

Method Man playing a nurse

This cac being a crusader of "real hiphop" telling these two black men they don't know what real hiphop is,disrespecting the gawd MC Hammer in the same breath.

And I only been watching for about 15 minutes

Hip hop being real wasn't a bad thing back then. Hip hop still had artistic integrity.
But yeah, that scene was cringeworthy.

I can tell phonte wrote this

phonte wrote the bars that the dude with the scar is spitting ?

 

[DaveyDave]

So the movie is based in 1990, but the guy was rhyming about Rakim and Kane being pioneers? Even though he was supposedly washed up by then? Which means he would have been their peers?

By 90/91 the sound was changing, even in NY the rhymes and beat styles were changing. The book focuses a lot (deservedly) on Def Jam and the inner working of how Hip Hop broke into the radio, as much as white radio didn't want rap on rock stations, a lot of black radio hosts and PDs didn't want it on their stations either.

I finally finished the book the other day actually

This book?

 

[Cool Dr. Money]

I liked it but the ending was weak

 

[big_controversy]

The choc shawty was nice. I love to climb trees, my goodness

But every city had a rapper that should have been a superstar that clocked out, got booked or squandered their opportunity = Scar

 

[sayyestothis]

Terrible ending....

Dude w/ the scar was spitting some live shyt. I'd pay 1.29...

 

[SteelCitySoldier]

Watching now

 

[DaveyDave]

This book?

Nope this one

That's what the movie is based on and I believe they're trying to make it into a show.

 

[Da Rhythm Rebel]

not very great at all

2 minutes in and the slang that was used was too contemporary.

didn't appreciate the cac hip-hop "savior" tryin' to school folks on real hip-hop - havin' the brothers lookin' crazy (while dissin' Hammer in the process)

the whole "real hip-hop" angle from the girl got played out after awhile - back in the 90's there were so many labels that were putting out and supporting what some would consider was real hip-hop (Loud Records, Wild Pitch, Penalty, etc.), along with the underground/college radio shows that were playing it, for that theme to be a point of emphasis was unnecessary.

I feel like there is a better story out there for this era.

I did get when Kool G Rap's "The Streets of New York" came on

 

[Osmosis]

looks alright.

its for this that Phonte wrote the rhymes for ? he mentioned it on Juan Epstein.
sidenote; how flippant Ciph was of Little Brother and the music Rosenberg was talking about on that ep was kind of amusing yet surprising.

he's very close-minded when it comes to hip hop and he wears it like a badge of honor because he thinks it makes him cool/different
