Man, you keep perpetually embarrassing online in this thread by trying to be this great "defender of hip-hop", but you have no idea what you're talking about... The song Bodak Yellow is literally about her not being a stripper anymore, and being low key gang affiliated. You're letting a young...

Don't you think you're kinda being a hater?

I'm so conflicted on how to feel, half lit, half MJ Cry...0]:lol::smh::stoneface::wow::frown::blush::angry::rofl:

@tyisny @6pac ...state of "hip-hop", as an industry. Not just the genre rap. The industry means "a distinct group of productive or profit-making enterprises", which is sustained by the economic activity it produces. If you look at football, for instance, it's an industry that predominantly has...

You say that as if there weren't indie videos in the 80's and 90's. "Protect Ya Neck" was an indie video directed by RZA and Kurt Anthony. In fact, despite having a budget, Wu-Tang was well received for the voyeuristic aspect of their videos. They let you see the "love" and "action" as they...

It's "an election", not "a election". Secondly, what's with the egregious assumption that age has any bearing on someone's musical tastes and knowledge? If there's any joke to take away from this, it's the fact that you actually believe that you're in a position to be taken seriously on the...

This comment makes no sense because for any album to become classic it has to not only do well in sales but be relevant in terms of popularity, which depends solely on popular OPINION! You're basing 4:44's validity on the popularity of opinion. Hence the reason for this thread, low standards...

Notice YN been avoiding ranking 4:44 as a "classic" album. And Jay-Z is his "mans".

Just say you don't like Lil Uzi Vert, LOL. Herb's mixtapes used to be raw and his opinion could be considered valid, but his take on 4:44 was industry puff and kinda hurts his creditability. 4:44 wasn't a classic, and people tend to overlook Jay-Z is almost 50 years old and just NOW coming...

Then there's the question of good music, are fans holding today's artist to an irrational high regard based on the rapper's achievements outside music? i.e. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Drake, etc. 4:44 isn't what one would consider a classic.

Not pretty much. Actually, it's circular reasoning. For one, you can't predict the future. And secondly, you simply cannot compare anything from this generation to the past or the future because it's garbage. You said so yourself. Same goes for @magic1978's comment, it's just no one bothered to...

I mess with Lil Uzi and Migos, but have they produced anything of this magnitude? Has anyone under the age of 30, in the past 10 years:

That's what I mean, I'd say about even 10 years ago there were fervent discussions about Southern Hip-Hop "taking over". Now the style has transformed, and the particular sound is a thing of the past. However, Mike Jones and Lil Flip were on top of the world. But I highly doubt anyone would pay...

There's no denying that there have been some significant changes within the genre. Like seriously, gone are the days of "Hype-Williams-budget" videos or multi-million dollar deals being handed out left and right. I believe the reason is that the state of Hip-Hop is changing. Whether for better...

Really, Marlon Wayans? In what aspect?

Does it irk you, or does it not bother you at all? How about amusement? Do you find it funny when you see someone "trying too hard"?
