gay rappers officially have a lane now!

i'm not mad at it. shit, i banged heiro back in the day just like i banged de la. i still bang some of these "hipster" type groups anyway (pharrell, kanye, etc.). at the end of the day, i care about the music.

but i'm not buying into the image and the label and all that shit. i ain't walking around with some tight jeans and shirts on, and glitter and all that shit. i'm cool. make the music. i'll pass on the lifestyle.

A new alternative. I actually like this new thing that's out. The one thing that somewhat bugs me out is that these cats somewhat trying to bring back the late 80s without the 80s sound "Although they may think that". I'm a huge fan of Mickey Factz "Shouts out to Steve-O", Kidz In The Hall, Kanye, Lupe, and The Cool Kids. The one thing that's funny though is that Andre 3000 is getting credited for this too. I think he's in a lane all by himself. If one wants to rock Capris with knee-his then you might look suspect

I don't listen that type of rap cause personally I think it comes off hella lame. It's like if you walk past an art school, all the students are dressed weird cause they want to be individual and different. But in their colective "difference" they all pretty much come out similar. It is a galant effort but seems to be wasted on a simple "style". They are the snap music of non-southern rap fans.

In my eyes, this is no different from trying to label somebody as a 'gospel' rapper or a 'gangsta' rapper. I personally think it's stupid. Hip Hop is what it is, and as diverse as it gets, at the end of the day, it's STILL Hip Hop. Hip Hop is LIFE, so if you speak about life, then to me, you're a rapper/emcee, (same DAMN thing.) I'm a MULTI-DIMENSIONAL dude myself, so I like Pac, Immortal Tech, Lupe, Kanye, Nas, Jay, and a plethora of other MC's. The genre stretches far, wide, and inbetween, with many subcultures and such, but as long as it's all original, and good music and with it.

I don't think artist should be classified as hipsters cause mainstream media finds the art in there craft different but @ the same time creativeness is the key. its key to keeping music fresh & entertaining.you can't really knock mufuckers for wanting to do there own thing, or for not wanting to be like everybody else musically. you need lupes, kanyes, rhymefests, pharrelles etc. cause everything is not for everybody. if it was what would existence be like?

as far as all this retro bright colored clothing, me personally I can't condone a lot of it cause that's jus not me but to each his own. what i have a problem with is mufuckers being mindless sheep that blatantly just do whatever they see niggas on tv do. if your all of a sudden wearing pants that are tight around the ankle acompanied by a smedium shirt with a gothic art print on it, with a skull chain attatched to your belt loops you are officially a crash dummy. its not even so much the styles its just that fact with anything that gets any type of tic some people jus change up who they are based soley on what there favorite rapper is doing. kanye for example has his own style which for the most part was criticized/ & not respected when he first came out, now that he's a little bit more popular all you see is a bunch of me toos runnin round. not rappers but regular mufuckers. these are the same characters that were rocking jeans, blazers, & button ups claiming shit is grown & sexy because there favorite rapper dawned the same attire . not because they have matured & have grown in to therself but because another mufucker that is breathing the same air as them is doing it. as long as weak minded people continueing idolizing "stars" the shit will continue but I guess. all I'm saying is do you. if you like wearing bright colored clothing or mo hawks or whatever do it because that's truly what you like not cause that's what the masses are doing or cause that's what your favorite rapper is doing. you get further in life if you remain honest to yourself.

I like some of the "hipster" ish that's dropping- including the clothing, but the recent flood is going to increase the gimmicks. And like every other trend that has gone through hiphop, the will be overdone until it's corny.

The funny thing about tight jeans is that in the 80s that's all we had. Baggy jeans didn't become the norm until we (hiphop) made it that way. And subsequently, the trend forced clothiers to change the way they handled business.

Christo — Fri, 09 May 2008 19:16:03 GMT

Listen, ANYONE in this game can be different by just "naturally" going left--but you have to be respected first in order to do that. Cats like Andre 3000, De La, and Lupe can be electic in this game because they have established themselves in this game--in other words, they could LITERALLY rip you to shreds. You can enter this game wearing a fucking mailman outfit, but if people know you can't be fucked with lyrically and you're putting out some thorough shit in your music, then it's like, "Okay, dude's walkin' around in a mailman uniform, but that n*gga can spit!" And on that note...I'm originally from TX, but I'm currently in LA, so--I am ALL too familiar with this (Hipster-Streetwear) movement. (ahem, Melrose, Fairfax, Long Beach) I ain't gon' lie. I do rock the Crooks & Castles and the 501 levis, but I ain't on no corny shit like the rest of these cats that are shown on this article. They are the PRIME example of what this Hipster movement is...TRYING TOO HARD. Instead of letting the music speaking for themselves, (which is wack anyway) they'd rather wear clothes from an era they weren't even born in! I was born in 84, but you're not gonna see me in any airtight-red levis! I'm a grown-ass man! In my opinion, they're the underground equivalent of this mainstream garbage. HIP-HOP is NOT a FAD....Hipsterz are! That's why this shit is corny, because this movement is associated with "a fleeting fashion trend".

aint shit cool about looking like a gay ass nerd. These artists will never be mainstream. First of all, hip hop is supposed to be a representation of the stree. REAL niggas dont dress like that. And we can get into the definitions of "real" but the bottom line is only the outcasted, never able to fit in with nobaody else, misfit ass niggas resort to this homo style and claim they are trying to be different. Its only "different" if your the only one doing it. otherwise you are as much a follower as the "thug" . Keep it real with ya selves and maybe a muh fucker like me would respect it at least a little bit. You aint foolin nobody, yall niggas just want to be accepted and it just so happens that homos and geeks take everybody. two fingers.

See, most of yall are falling for the same shit that this article is talking about. Yall putting them into that "80's wannabe/tight pants wearing hipster" box. They never said that they were about that shit. That's just the image that the industry is trying to put on these guys to make them seem "uncool" because they promote what the industry is absolute afraid of, INDIVIDUALITY . That's the last thing they want because if you are true to youself then they cant control what the masses listen to.

Whenever a rapper isnt "hood", "street", "thug", "gangsta"....the industry put an "uncool" label on them....they call them "conscious rappers", "political rappers", "backpackers"....and now they have a new term with "hipster". dont fall for the mind games

These niggas aint trying to put out an image and make it a trend, they just being themselves. That's why I respect them. They not trying to diss niggas like Jeezy, Plies, Shawty Lo..., they just make the music they wanna make and keep it movin. As long as you do you, these niggas aint gonna have a problem with you. That's what separates them from the typical "holier-than-thou" backpack rappers.

re: Hipster Hip-Hop: Nerds in Rap Paradise?

FS1 — Fri, 09 May 2008 23:34:33 GMT

It's funny how people criticize people for just being themselves. If these same guys came out talkin' that same nigga shit that continually tries to defamate the face of the black community, ya'll would be calling them fake gangstas. It's like your damned if you do, and damned if you don't. That's why I could give a fuck about what a person thinks about me because you simply can not please everybody.

But I got a beef with the term "hipster". That term is wack as fuck. Who came up with that? I'll bet not one of the aformentioned groups actually came out saying "Hey, we gon' bring that hipster shit out on these people yo!". C'mon man! How about we keep it simple and just call it...I don't know... HIP HOP!

re: Hipster Hip-Hop: Nerds in Rap Paradise?

kakez — Sat, 10 May 2008 00:23:59 GMT

I'm curious to know if, when all the 80s hiphop started, if people were thinking about what kind of jeans people were wearing, or just listened to what people were speaking. It seems that people started caring about that when it became the norm in hiphop to talk about money, bitches, drugs etc. Now the last thing i ponder is how soon we will hear Game, Fif, etc. change their style up? Hopefully soon, because all that shit is 'soo 2003' lol. G-rap had its time, its left the building, a new cat is coming in, being original, lyrical, deep, and ill. To pass judgement on clothes is the same as skin is the same as anything, so who cares? If you just hear the music and dont see what cats look like, what do you think? If you dont like it, cool, if you do cool, doesnt really matter, music was here before us, music will be here after us. Did mozart and bach bitch at each other for curling their hair or wearin the green penny loafers instead of the brown?
Think bout if for a sec.

There is this desperate attempt to try to be diferent and i am for trying new things, all these dudes need to deternmine is what the purpose of what they r doin is. Is it to
1 sell records (wish em all the best....I really mean it)
2 express themselves (we got problems too, so what?)
3 form an identity and in the process make it cool to be a nerd
(really and trully who wants to be a nerd?)
In everything u do before doing it, u establish a goal that is both realistic and also beneficial
This is entertainment not fucking therapy, sex & violence are the backbone of American entertainment all this creative, vegetarian rap is recycled bullshit.
This looks like a repetition of the native tongue movement so how creative is it

Plus I'm tired of musicians rhyming about how much money they got... fuck that, that's my 9.99 you rhyming about. Done with that shit. Most of the shit now is on some fake ass shit. So I welcome artists that don't feel the need to compromise their art for industry execs-telling them how to be.

Hoodgrown — Sat, 10 May 2008 15:44:48 GMT

I don't mind niggas being themselves because too many of these niggas frontin as thugs are fake!

Some nigga on this forum said when was it cool to be a nerd? When you grow the fuck up... that's when. Being a thug ain't the end to all end either.

Sure being a thug is popular when you a young nigga. The chicks like that shit.. and the thug niggas get all the chicks. But by the time niggas hit like 30 and the thugs are dead or in jail asking their girlfriends to sneak drugs in their pussies, or out on the street and can't get a legal job or even hold down a family.. niggas don't seem so appealing then. Cause regardless of what you niggas believe... more than 90% of us won't have a successful music or sports career.

The ladies who were only looking at the thug niggas when they were younger now start looking at the "nerd" niggas who have the houses, the condos and the cars. Cats with money in the bank who can hold down a family take vacations overseas and the whole nine.

So don't put down them "nerd" niggas cause as cats grow up... they wind up having the last fucking laugh....

And that's not to put down niggas on the street... cause if you've survived the game without fucking up your life and have elevated yourself. That's whats up! That's what you supposed to do.

But I grew up in the projects in Queens during the "Fat Cat" and "Supreme Team" era. Me and my peeps have moved, all have kids and familys now. It's depressing to go back and see niggas that you grew up with still living like they was 18 years old.

In the same places that they was in 15 fucking years ago. No progress. Nothing. A new car maybe... but still in the fucking projects chasing these little bitches.. while their wife is going to work to support the kids.

Better question nigga... "When does it finally make sense to leave all that thug shit alone?"

I think is the media placing this hipster label on niggas which make the shit sound weak. But ain't nothing wrong with being different... shit they way these frontin ass niggas want to portray it...everyone in the hood is "gangsta" and niggas know that ain't real.

Even the project is full of different types of niggas... so why shouldn't the music be?

The thing about when De La Soul came out... street niggas was bangin that. It wasn't nothing to see a nigga with De La Soul, Epmd, NWA or a Public Enemy cassette in their car. That's cause we loved "hip hop" period! As long as it was good... we supported it!!!

These idiots now think they're too hard to listen to Kanye or Common. No nigga.. you just too dumb!

Listening to these fake ass thug niggas don't make you a thug... no matter how much you drink and smoke to get your courage up.!!!

the whole concept of lumping these groups together and labeling them as a whole, seems to go against the very basis of what the movement itself would tend to represent, doesn't it?

So by trying to name it, exploit it, and blow it up, what will happen is the real essence of it will be destroyed and replaced by a bastardized synthetic version that is just as plastic as they very corporate sameness they set out to stand apart from in the first place.

Why is it so bad to be called 'Hipster Rap'? N.W.A, Ice Cube, Ice T and G-Unit defend their title of gangsta rap. In addition these groups will tell anyone it made them rich, in a minute. So we have Hipster Rap, its a movemnet now. I really don't see the big fuss about the label. I like and support the movement. Its time for Hipster Rap to take over the air waves cause these hipsters will allow the movement of some form of consciouness to fill our air waves, not degrading, not snitching and blasting the closest brotha to you for money. It can happen it happend before-white lines lead to jingling baby and dance for me to It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, Fear of a Black Planet.

Why do black people have to be so ignorant? People call these guys gay, white and lame just because they don't wear their pants down to their ankles and rap about selling drugs. People who sag their pants are the ones who are really gay because your walking around with your ass hanging out. So called "gangster rap" is the real pop music because everybody's doing it and 95% of them "gangster" rappers are phony anyway. As a black man, i'm tired of other black people expecting me too wear over sized clothes, sell drugs, smoke weed, drink and talk like some ignorant uneducated monkey. How can black people expect white people to stop being racist if we can't even stop discriminating against ourselves?

Oh, and for the record all these guys you cats are labeling "hipsters" don't wear or like glitter belts, fake rockstar dudes who following cats like Jim Jones and Juelz Santana wear glitter belts.

The worse thing in the world is to let someone from outside your group label you...Regardless of how much money it made Cube and them, that label did nothing for the young people. Before anyone goes to judge them, listen to they music and see how you feel...How you dress has nothing to do with how you work the mic. Shit Rakim wore tight pants and still a better MC then 99% of dudes who touch the mic...We gotta get out this mindset of boundary maintance that we are some monolithic racial identity...

"i think that is lame that they had to label these nigg@s "hipsters" wtf???"

co-sign

It doesn't matter what you wear, rap about, how you wear it, etc. But the minute someone labels you... it becomes corny...

things seem to move in circles, just like the article said. the same things everyone is saying about these dudes is what they said about De La and Jungle Bros etc.

hiphop can be short-sighted sometimes, granted you aint gonna catch me in no tight jeans and bright colors anytime soon, but the music aint so bad, so i aint hatin'...

Well.... the " keepin it real " rap category has been mighty wack as of late.Fuck it, at least these artists are trying to be creative.

In the words of J-Zone :

" I'll roll through ya hood blastin Ice Ice Baby, think I give a fuck ? it's better than the shit I've lately!"

Fuck the labels man. I'm really feelin what Homegrown is sayin right now. It's not like I love these guys either, but they got some good shit on em. I've heard some Kidz in the Hall. Drivin Down the Block is my SHIT! lol

"Low end theory tape and bass crazy kickin it!"

Two things: (1) be Real and honest with yourself, and (2) keep pushing for positivity and progress in your life. Whether your lifestyle is more like Kidz in the Hall, or Young Jeezy.
