if they are going to be shadows of their former selves i don't really want to hear it. KRS was right in his interview the other day. You don't have to respect no one that ain't out anymore JUST because of that they did. What are they DOING?? I hope it's dope.

marley is the god of the dope beat.

i wonder if a vinyl edition of this album is gonna drop.
i still haven't seen a vinyl version of the jawn he did with KRS.

that means i still ain't got it.

i'm in violation.

yo, people scared to talk about who and how hip hop got fucked up.

it's 3 components.

boom.

1) puff daddy and jay-z made it cool to focus SOLELY on money.
this is from 95 on.

2) corny country muvafuckas from down south and the midwest latched on to the money and materialistic focus and gained success by rockin ice but not rockin rhymes and dope beats. or scratchin. see all the corny down south dudes dissin DJs?

3) the united states is a country nation. the majority of black folk in the U.S. are country. not coastal like NY, NJ & Philly. Therefore the country dumb shit caught on and spread like wildfire.

@blackpeople1
1st of all lil gayne and jergayne dupri djs not all southern artists!
2ndly it was when congress came out against so called "gangsta" rap and other emcees distanced themselves that the seeds for raps decline were planted! Before than everything was hip hop, Eazy E was tha Hip Hop Thugsta!
Then labels started promoting entertainment over substance, and rappers started getting paid real money. The 1st million $ rap video was by Hammer. Without notice or much fanfare labels thought it was cost effective to not pay the dj as a member of the group for the album unless he produced, and the emcees went along!
Until '92-'93 hip hop had everything; Lyrical(Rakim) Conscious(Public Enemy) Gangster(NWA) Southern(Scarface) Radio friendly(Heavy D) and Pop(Jazzy Jeff&The Fresh Prince) all kinds of acts, all kinds of styles, nobody bumped heads,unless it was personal(and it stayed on wax) and everybody made decent money. Now because the music industry (not the hip hop industry) puts more money behind one style, we want to attack each other. Back when the industry didn't notice rap they had to hustle on their own. They didn't have radio spins or video budgets and they didn't need it, they didn't wait on the labels cuz hip hop is a music of the people. But mu'fuckas is lazy now and its easier to complain than to do something!!!

Craig G.: When you listened to an EPMD it had a feeling; it felt like a force. Now it feels like a dude went into a booth and jumped on a track with baby bottles on it and just started rhyming. That’s all it is.

Marley Marl: We taking back Hip-Hop. Ni***s be battling on the street and that ain’t even Hip-Hop. That’s just talking. They not rhyming; they just talking. That’s garbage to me!

Ok im waiting for the first ignorant young nigga to call them old school.yall young fools juz rappin today ya aint got the first clue bout Hip Hop.Vouching for Soilder Boy over Ice T iz yall stupid?seem Hurricane Chris cant get no props from nobody.(ha,ha)thats how yall wack young rappers gonna be looked at by all the OGs.
Only thing i cant agree with Marley & Craig on is Lil wayne.Wayne is juz as bad as Hurricane & Soilder Boy.Wayne juz got a lot more hype behind him.also a lot more stans.

^^^ Great assessment...funny how black folk haven't changed:

1700 A.D. - Africans captured and sold each other into slavery in exchange for worthless trinkets provided by white men (WHITE FOLK WON)

2000 A.D. - African Americans willingly degrade and portray themselves as coons via music/mass media (despite the alarming decay of the African American community) for the declining US dollar, worthless jewelry, cars, expensive clothing,sneakers, etc. (WHITE FOLKS STILL WINNING!)

Hope those expensive whips are fast enough to run from massa if/when the declining state of the U.S. economy starts to make re-enstating slavery seem like a good solution.

This interview is too short! Damn, I wanted to read more.

@BlackPeople 1: I agree somewhat. That whole Diddy with the shiny suits thing focusing on money toward the end of the 90's was the start to me. Shortly after I remember Cash Money showin up with them songs like "Bling, Bling" and the success of those kind of records started the ball rolling down hill...

I remember the Gangstarr album "Moment of Truth" coming out and that shit was dope, but niggas was too gone off of all this wasteful spending of money and appearing to be rich. At that point I started thinking..."Uh-Oh!'

Way2Kool — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:38:45 GMT

Marly Marl and Craig G is speaking the truth about the state of Hip-Hop. It's been on the decline way before these chicken-noodle-soup rappers appeared on the seen though.

I'm a Westcoast (NW) inhabitant through and through, but I know bullshit music and this Crack (Rap) Music got to go. We got lyricist with something to say (e.g.,Medusa, Lifesavas, Silent Lamb Project [( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUV6qaT1XOg )], Abstract Rude, Myka Nyne,etc) out this way but unfortunately New York City is where 99.9% of the record companies is located causing a lot of our MC's, musicians,singers,etc to go overseas to make that paper or staying underground where only a few encounter their music. Like minds need to link up regardless of what region we live in and put a cease to this bullshit. Black children's mental development is being attack from all fronts whether we acknowledge it or not and the entertainment industry is the main culprit in dumbing down the youth.

Dope Boys, Street Hustlers and Gangbangers: just cause you got dough to spend on studio time don't mean you should be rappin'; majority of ya'll is garbage.

HIP-HOP IS BEING POLLUTED FOR THE MAINSTREAM-Jayne Doe

re: Craig G & Marley Marl: Ultimate Alliance

funkytechnician — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 18:27:38 GMT

Marley is the godfather of hip hop productions.
Few people know he was the first to employ sampling kicks and snares from records, this dramatically changed the sound of hip hop beats thus ushering in the golden era of hip hop.

Previous to Marly we had Pumpkin and the all stars. Pumpkin produced records for Enjoy Records. He was a dope drummer and played live music , samples of his work is Superrapping by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, Love Rap by Spoonin Gee and Feel the Heart Beat by The Treacherous Three ,his productions was so dope because the drums sounds was solid, and the production was sparse and funky.

Marley created the equivalent of live drum sound by using early samplers and crates of breakbeats, thus streamlining production cost but retaining the real drum sound on his beats.
Because of his musical innovation, hip hop production peaked sonically.
Every hip hop producer who from Dr Dre to The Rza and everyone in between own a debt to Marley Marl.

At this time rhyming was also going through some innovations through the work of Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Craig Gee, and believe it or not with The Jaz and his partner Jay Z ( speedrapping before Twista)the music was not dominated by thugging and negativity it was based on pure lyrical wittiness and a tightass flow, example for the youngsters, listen to Big Daddy Kanes "Set It off" pure lyrical genius

This culmination of rap flow and realistic beat production ushered in the golden era.

Currently hip hop is all about thugging and negativity. It seems to be dominated by felons and perversion, It lost diversity, where is the Biz Markie's of today to lighten up the darkness or The Tribes Called Quest's. Even Fresh Prince contributed to the spectrum of hip hop.

Hip hop is probably the most important musical and cultural phenomenom to come about recently. Lets save it by getting back to the values that pushed it to the point where it is at.
If it continues on its course the music is doomed, and so is the state of the urban youth, this music has a direct effect on influential youth, whether it's good or bad.

Interesting analysis. There is a lot of validity in what you're saying. I'm sure there will be others than disagree.

@jojodove77
Cosign.

@BogishNiggarosis
You're also correct. It is pretty much a combination of what you and BlackPeople 1 stated.

I think the new generation does not want to admit where it dropped the ball. The industry is also at fault for taking yet another cultural item and diluting it for the sake of monetary gain. Our people have historically sold each other out for centuries. The corporate leaches ultimately control how we are depicted to the world via music and movies. They do not care whether we are degraded or looked upon as unintelligent. And guess, what......for some 20 inch rims, gold fronts and a bottle of champagne, neither do most of us.

@ ED Da Gucci Wizard

I agree that there were older people that knocked hip-hop music during its infancy stage, but those older people were from a whole different music genre/culture. Youngsters' throwing around the term "old-man" in relation to older folks speaking out against the lack-of-quality rap music being put out presently doesn't change the fact that these "old-men" are from the same music genre/culture (hip-hop) that they're speaking out against.

See the golden era knew what was gonna happen, and they wouldnt allow it. they tried to school the new cats coming up but as we can see they didnt listen. Now hip hop is mostly commercial and controlled by sales. Its a shame! But hip hop aint dead, just went underground.

DNTZ — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 11:02:55 GMT

Two things:

One: Mad Money and Good Art are mutually exclusive. Period. Point Blank. That means you don't have one when you have the other. Hip Hop is, among other things, an art form. The stuff on TV, on the Radio, in Wal Mart, that stuff is PRODUCT. You wouldn't confuse, say, Supreme Clientele with a tube of toothpaste or a bottle of vitamin water. You could easily confuse %100 of the crap on the radio with the music they play in a (whatever product you want to name) ad (hell, half of the best punk rock recorded between 1979 and 1982 is being used in car commercials, so maybe I'm on shaky ground here...), but c'mon. The Real Shit is where it's always been, which is NOT on mainstream radio, NOT on TV, not being shoved down yr throat to peddle Erectile Dysfunction meds or Laundry Soap. It's out there in people's heads, more of it leaking out every day, and the truth? Most of the stuff going on in people's heads is not something some douchebag with a job in marketing knows how to deal with as a product; when they have to deal with it they have to dry hump the life out of it until it's slimy and salty enough for the masses to swallow whole, because like my three year old son, they either want it all in one bite or not at all...
The true test to me when I hear something new (or just new to me) is this: I ask myself, is this coming from an artist as her or his free and true expression? Or is this just another asshole trying to relieve me of my paycheck? The former is what keeps me from just going postal and taking out everyone on my shitlist (which is a long one), and the latter, well, I get enough calls from telemarketers and bill collectors already, I don't need to listen to weezy or anyone else tell me why they deserve my money more than I do. Besides, just my opinion? Weezy can write like a beast, but his so called "unique" voice is too irritating for words and he has the worst ear for beats of any of these hacks yet. But that's just my opinion. My friend Dave will sell you a copy of that album for 5 bucks and If you ask me, that's a total rip off and a waste of a perfectly good CDR. Ok, you didn't ask me, but the hell with it, go ahead and disagree with me if you want. But if you do I seriously doubt you and I mean the same thing when we say "Hip Hop", I don't care what kind of Authority you think you are or have. I love hip hop, have for ten years, but I been a Punk Kid (as in punk rock, for those uninformed, so don't offer me yr cigs in the pokey, ok? I don't plays that. [BTW anyone looking to see how money and mainstream success destroys music scenes need only look at what the Major Labels did to punk rock from 1978 on with the whole "new wave" genre, the whole "Crossover" scene (DRI etc... but I doubt anyone here is going to know what the hell I'm talking about right now), on through to green day and newer horrors like avril lavigne and fallout boy]) for almost twenty and that means no gods, no masters, no bosses, no idols, no authority, period. And you'll get a riot up yr ass if you try to tell me how to feel. There's my two cents, now you got like .7 cents Canadian.

Two: Ok. Now this is where I maybe make myself look like a fool, but one thing that is mos def true about this whole idea of needing to "take back hip hop" is that people need to learn about the roots and the and the originators and the innovators. Not just learn about them, but hear them, hear the music and listen to them speak, at the very least via this glorious leaking asshole we call the internet. There's no excuse not to, unless you live out in the boonies where there's no broadband (for those that don't know or don't remember - youtube SUCKS on a dial up connection). I'll be straight up - You don't have to LIKE all of the older stuff, but to do the culture justice you need to learn about it. Like "paying dues" when you start hanging out in a new scene - For a punk kid in, say, Cleveland in the early nineties, that meant that you probably got your ass kicked a couple of times and if you stood yr ground for a week or two the same people who beat you would kick the shit out of someone else for say saying a sideways word at you. If you are some white kid from the suburbs talking hip hop to heads that are really passionate about this shit, it means being honest about what you know and not being opinionated about shit you don't know -
Probably sounds like I'm pointing a finger here, but if I am, it's at a mirror. And maybe this is my way of doing penance - Long story short, like I said, I've been on this hip hop tip for some time, but by some freak chance, I slept on Pete Rock.

I left some space there for that to sink in.
I've had my MPC 2000XL for 9 years. That's not an excuse - If anything it makes it more inexcusable. The only stuff I had heard were the Soul Survivor stuff, and the Petestrumentals. I wasn't impressed. Mecca and the Soul Brother? I've known about that album for 6 months. And I am deeply ashamed of that, and even more so at having said to a certain knowledgeable head that Pete Rock's production work left me unimpressed. My ass was put in place. Quickly. And I owe thanks, not only to that certain head, but also to the culture that instilled in him the willingness to shine the light for those of us wandering out here in the darkness. That is what Hip Hop really is and that is also why it will never die.

Sorry for the rant, but it's seven in the morning and Billy Xane is all crusty in my nostrils, if that makes any sense at all to you, i.e. I'm all ready to ramble. Peace.

Bah. I got my mpc in '01 - that's 7 years, so now I'm a Punk AND a Liar. Ha. Somebody beat my head in so I can get some sleep already.
And while I'm posting again, I just want to say that this is probably one of the most thought provoking message board threads I've ever read or commented on. No one here should be worried about the state of hip hop, if for no other reason than that it is still possible for this conversation to take place, even with the madness that we are living in this country and this world.
