Please find one pre337 thread that is a circle jerk. Please. There arent any.

Many people on this board, myself included have suggested that you check out the history of hip hop. Your ignorance and arrogance prevent you from doing such.

Yes, i think hip hop peaked in the mid to late 90s, yet i still listen to current hip hop and get excited for new releases.

I have no problems with other peoples opinions, im very open minded when it comes to music. Your only opinion is that drake is the first name greatest last name ever, now if you could actually contribute to threads and be objective without drakes dick in your mouth, maybe your opinion would be valid. I just dont see that happening anytime soon.

Again, you're always right and they rest of us are just old backpackers living in the past.

Your schtick is getting old.

You run to the fact that you listened to New York artists in the 90s as the basis of your hip-hop "knowledge


My hip hop knowledge is based on the fact that ive been listening to hip hop and going to shows for 20 plus years.

Have you ever even been to a hip hop show? Ive literally been to hundreds and seen some of the greatest mcs ever spit on stage.

The reason Nas released such a landmark 1st album (one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time) was because of how tough he perceived the scene in NY to be at the time. He knew he had to make a big splash to even be noticed


This was at a time when only the best of the best got major record deal because they felt Hip Hop was still a fad that would die out eventually. The majors only signed artist they felt had a chance to push major units.

I miss when artists where hungry like that and not "chosen" from a Canadian kids soap like Degrassi because he's a pretty face


Nas will always be one of my favorites not just because of his lyrical ability & content in his music but he is the epitome of every true artist that refused to sellout. When he signed Columbia Records they wanted him to fix his teeth & become this bubble gum, pretty boy rapper. Nas refused & did the music he wanted to do.

Ok let's talk about 50 then, he was a lifelong Gang Starr fan growing up, I'm sure he dabbled in Big L and Rakim as well but his true inspiration came from Guru

He had a vision and a dream to continue Guru's tradition of knowledge in the hip hop game, then Dre came and offered him a record deal, so did another label too a small upstart called Duck Down who had just signed Sean Price, he took the money and never looked back and from day 1 he was a pawn to sell records and club bangers

My biggest issue with nas has always been his beat choice. Some of his albums and lyrics get over looked because the beats are just terrible.

But you say that as if he doesn't have street classics. 50 Cent is the Future, Guess Who's Back.
And as if every track on GRODT or The Massacre was released as a single or club banger. They weren't!!!
But to you if a 21st century artist makes a hit record they're a sellout GTF dude.

That's what the problem is with the industry at this point in time. There's entirely too much emphasis on club bangers & hit singles.

A talented artist can take any subject matter & put it over a hot beat that matches the vibe of the subject matter & turn it into a hot song.

Almost every song on radio right now is the same recycled assembly line crap over & over again. There's not much creativity involved at all outside of a few witty punchlines.

Personally, I'm going to slow my roll with him. I don't want to cluster these threads with the b.s anymore. He's an idiot & that won't change. He's like an aggravating fly in the room but I'm going to put my flyswatter down for the time being & let him be. I'm fairly new posting on this board & I feel kinda bad for littering it with shite talk to him. That's not the purpose of this board & definitely not why I started posting here.

Hopefully not. It's pretty annoying having BigBrod flame my threads just because he doesn't agree with my opinions. Hell, I even tried to start this thread but we see how it turned out
But maybe in Brod's time away from the board he can understand that people have different opinions.
