Love that I was a part of the hip hop generation in the 80s and 90s. A lot of us who lived through it remember these discussions with the media, critics, and our parents on if hip hop was real music and art. They said it would be a fad. In 2023 Hip Hop is still here. Great discussion.

The interesting thing is this is what Spike Lee touched on in the movie “ Bamboozled” year 2000 he was saying rapp has became the new minstrel show he must've seen this interview and got inspired. The overall image not the real Mc C’s that have elevated their style n craft to express the best. Now 30 years later look what we got watch the progression or the regression of the rapper. You could probably name 3-5 rappers that are great n hold to the same lyrical integrity n finesse of 80s-90s rappers. Also DJ’s/producers have got this technique of sampling, beat making, and production down to a science. J-Dilla, Premier, Easy mo bee, Dj- Quick, Alchemist, Kanye West, Kenny Parker. This new thang now is trash “Trap” etc… But it’s selling! I alaways like to watch on KZread the clips of teens or young adults viewing n hearing old rapp, funk, and R and B music some of them actually like it, because it’s good!

Did they ever invite them back on to the show? This was a good discussion, I want a part 2!

even tho i grew up listening to hip hop. i have branched out and got introduced into slayer love their music just love rock and metal peridod

Once you get older it's easier to judge hip-hop for what it is and accept that it has probably been a net negative for Black folks as a whole. And note how if you say anything negative about hip-hop or view it from an objective perspective the low IQ folks instantly start calling you a sellout, coon, Tom, etc. even if you've forgotten more about hip-hop than they know. My generation, I'm 45, will defend/rep hip-hop more vigorously than they will defend/rep God.

First off, terrible take on multiple levels. Second, I’ll skip to the end of your comment. Your personal belief in God is irrelevant. To say that people defend Hip Hop more than whatever God you believe in as if it’s negative is so pretentious. The sad truth is that in many ways, whether consciously or subconsciously, we (all people, not just black people) are trained to work as agents of white supremacy. Your comment reeks of this. The image and allure of the counter culture, the renegade, the villain we hate to love or love to hate are eternal. These stories have been told for as long as history has been recorded. The notion that engaging in this human tradition as any minority group (in this specific instance, black people in the “western world”) is negative to the group is asinine. It’s an extremely unfair, discriminatory vilification of black art. No one watches a white gangster movie and thinks of its creation and celebration as a negative reflection of white people. We don’t speak about it having a negative effect on white people specifically. If anything, it will be spoken of as a negative in general. Therein lies the key distinction. You are, one, trained to see black people as other rather than general. Two: you are positing that black people cant engage in the same human cultural traditions that white people (the “general”) can based on the view of them as other. This is white exceptionalism, which is damaging to all society. Third, you are robbing - in this case - black people of a fair pursuit of art. Music is a fine art. Fine art’s primary pursuit is to make something in a particular “aesthetic” (I’m using quotations because aesthetic in regards to painting wouldn’t be the same as it would be for music or dance and so on), whatever that “aesthetic” may be. Anything beyond that point the artist wants to pursue as a goal is completely valid and of no less importance to their art, however it is less important in the actual foundation of something being fine art. All artists should be allowed to pursue their art without being expected to cater it or otherwise censor it to a demographic out of fear of how their prejudice/confirmation bias reacts. It is not Hip Hop’s job to change itself to reflect a different image to prejudice people. It is not black artists’ jobs to change their art out of fear of confirmation bias. You’re claiming others have low IQ but don’t seem to have thought past your own prejudice into the actual implications of what you’re saying…

I would say rap is more what l call "hip pop" than hip hop but that is just my opinion. I would say "real hip hop" is an urban subculture mainly based on spoken word creativity and an expressive art form that also includes other forms of art such as graffiti, break dancing, and fashion. Just because rap has been used by the prison industrial complex to promote criminality does not mean that it created systematic racism. I never said it did.

Truth is rap has been very detrimental to the world. For every positive song there's ten violent ones.
