  1. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    So many idiots talking about what is and isn’t Hip-Hop (dissing the South) when it’s been a part from the get go.

  3. Motherfuckers should’ve known that already !! Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5 had both social commentary and party tracks. It goes for every emcee brought up in the late 70′s to 80′s. Funny thing is, once the Red/Black/Green took over with Public Ememy, X-Clan and so on, peeps forgot about the party and those who chose to rep the party was looked at as sellouts. 90′s was even worse because peeps only wanted to bob their head and forgot how to dance. For some reason it got played out so when the shiny suit party tracks come on, elists fans and rappers had a problem with it. If it wasn’t about the Hood for dealing with some negative street shit, no one desired to fuck with it.

  5. yeahh that Curtis dude is on point with that shit^^^….I think the problem today is that the balance is completely out of whack, all the club and dance shit gets all the airplay and attention while something like Reflection Eternal or Nas & Damian haven’t a chance in hell of getting played for a mainstream audience
