Hip-Hop

I just had a long discussion with my baby bro about music. My bro swears he is a hip-hop head & wishes to become a music producer. He already makes beats that are pretty decent & aren't that bad. But yea we had a very long discussion. He swears that New York hip hop is not dead because we have Mims & Ron Brows. I beg to differ. I believe that hopefully with this Jada album he can put New York back on the map, because these other people ain't quite doing it at least not for me. He began playing me all of these "hot" songs. And in my opinion EVERY single one he played was pretty damn wack. Don't get me wrong the songs aren't THAT bad and are catchy and before long you find yourself singing them. However it doesn't quite make my heart tingle the way music is supposed to. Doesn't quite reach my soul. I'm tired of hearing "she backed it on me" and all other forms of that saying. I'm tired of hearing "she knows how to make it clap". I honestly don't care who can make it clap or how well a girl backs it up (of course that is a sight to see especially if shortii got ass however I don't think every song should reference such a sight no matter how delicious it is. lmao). So as I said most of the hip-hop out now just doesn't do it for me. Music is supposed to be felt in your heart and soul & this shit that is out now is more like damaging my soul. Hip-hop needs to get back to what it was. Oh during this conversation between me and him he tried to compare Jada & Brows without actually coming out and saying he was comparing them (does that make sense? hmm). Ok well I must say that those 2 CANNOT be compared EVER! Jada is a political rapper whereas Brows is not. Jada actually sends a message when he raps. He spits straight FIRE! Brows talks about "jumping out the window". Ummm yea no comparison. I tried to school this boy on what hip-hop was and should be. People need to stop listening to this garbage that is "hot" now and listen to Common, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Nas, The Fugees, Mobb Deep, the cats from back in the day. They actually said something when they rapped. It wasn't all about sex and drugs and bullshit. It was about real shit. About shit that mattered. I'm tired of these bullshit sex songs. Leave that to the R&B singers.

New York hip-hop needs some resuscitation.
