they weren’t listening to any of that s*** man, they are purposefully misremembering the moments for their platform in order to eat off of their audiences false sense of nostalgia for things they know they didn’t like back then either

I think you are undervaluing power dynamics and why this is not usually the case for the woman in this dynamic

a lot of those women are with a man with an unimaginable outlook on power and wealth and partners…that inevitably brings with it a sense of fear within their partner to not do the things you’re claiming. they obviously can’t acknowledge this part of the dynamic, but that’s what it is

Unless you're Puff or Hov industry gatekeeper-level that doesn't really apply. And even then, their schedules make it very easy for the women they're involved with to get their s*** off if they want to

Music is about as “you d have to have been there” as it gets for the most part

S*** like Early 2000s rap sounds peak if you were bumping it back then but sounds like dust to new kids

Capitalism is a disease

Exactly. And the worst part about it is that this “new” old generation can never see it

like these niggas know they WERE NOT bumping Kool G and the Juice Crew when they were in high school/college/30s

I hate that they in turn make it seem that the new generation HAS to bump their now old legends and accept having that be the main thing pushed on stage in front of you more than the newer generation. JAY-Z IS LITERALLY 56

It’s been over and these niggas with control can’t accept it and will die with their legends as they kill the genre smdh

Well Kool G rap’s career carried into the 90s he was “big bro” to that era they were prolly bumping him in high school lol . I do understand your point but at the same time as a nigga who love music as much as many of us do.. I don’t really wanna talk music wit niggas who haven’t done their homework lol

That doesn’t mean I feel like you gotta hold every rapper or hit single from 20 years ago in big regards because it’s a throwback hell no but I don’t respect the “any thing older than when I was born is dust” out look either. I agreed wit Mos Def black art should be studied especially if you wanna make art or have your opinion respected. But s*** our generation isn’t too different it’s plenty of niggas that dont give a f*** about none of that and that’s cool.

I’m nowhere near as old as these niggas but even tho these niggas was kids they def had their hits played in adult clubs not every song but s*** loosening by Chris brown wasn’t just a kids song. That being said we talkin bout Hoe Budden and his associates who were more or less either in the music industry or just around these niggas so it’s a lot of arrested development there too lol

I mean look at this video these niggas was looking too old to even pretend to be at a college party

Ayooo 🤣🤣🤣 this song is NUTS

"The hoes in dyckman will f*** with this" is not compelling musical commentary. Rory and Mal are better when it comes to that - they actually seem to appreciate music for it's own sake, not just as social signaling

There’s a difference between doing your homework and expecting me to book a flight to go watch a damn near 60 year old perform raps from when I was 4 years old that nobody in my age group relates to in 2026 as he is an artist for people who were around and outside in <2009 lmfao

I love all the rap legends and showing them respect, but we prop them up over the new school way more than other genres do for their now old legends as if they still culturally matter to a nigga in my age range. How can we expect a new young nigga to relate to niggas that are 40+ with families, legacy, and swaths of wealth we haven’t even reached? They don’t move like “big bro” like you said Kool G moved for them, they move like “I AM STILL THE MOMENT” and that’s my main issue and what’s hurting the genre massively

Good to know emanny is just as weird/creepy/cringe on record as he is on a pod mic, the video is the icing on the cake
