I'm not an old head but I feel you. Your post was on point.The more I read the replies in here the more I realize how disconnected I am from most of you. I am an older head and have always been an avid passionate fan. The blanket statements being made in here regarding regions and some of the artist mentioned (if you can even qualify them as such) is an embarrassment to this entire culture. The Internet allows people from all over the globe to communicate with each other and share ideas and opinions. It's a shame this forum is made up of a lot of close minded individuals with way too much regional bias. Every talk radio show I have heard discussing this topic are on a complete different echelon than this thread. Cats like Sway, Premo, 9th Wonder, Young Guru and countless of other artist I admire appear to get what this thread doesn't. This verse by KL wasn't meant to diss NY, only the simpletons would see it as such. His verse was meant to spark a much needed change in the environment of rap music. To hear a lot of you go back and forth on some nonsense is downright pathetic.
Ice T said it best (bolded parts):
All of y'all need to chill.On Tuesday, ICE T tweeted: "I love how ONE verse woke Hip Hop the F--- up. It's been a LONG time since people talked about ANYTHING someone said in their rhyme." In later tweets, he added, "I'm sure there's gonna be a lot of replies and diss tracks. Don't trip. It's just Hip Hop. ... Hey, Hip Hop stripes are born in battle. Me and LL (Cool J) did our thing back in the day. It's part of the game."
