quote:Originally posted by Confirming Truth: ^No OP. In fact, the thread takes into consideration the origin of rap. Your introduction in the thread states: "It has gone from this to this" as if to imply that Rap had degenerated in its social message and value over time. Well, I challenged that assertion - I set forth an argument to the contrary! Rap has produced what it intended from the onset of the hip hop movement.
"It has gone from this to this" simply means what used to be mainstream to what is mainstream today you idiot! And if you want to argue the origins of rap you can take it all the way back to the west african griots who spoke poetry over beats which is what emceeing is.
Hip-hop has always been about catchy beats and rhymes and what you see now is just a continuation of that. The catchier, the wider the audience that will like it = more sales = more $ for the artist. Far more ppl want to jam rather than hearing good lyrics.
I think Nicki Minaj was a bad example to use for your critique though because she actually spits hard and has a bunch of thoughtful songs aside from the one you posted.
So you dont mind young black girls having this woman as there idol

^Yes, i'd rather young black girls idolize lauren but nicki minaj isn't that bad. She dresses weird sometimes but i don't see that's so bad. I'd rather the young not have to hear her lyrics definitely cuz only adults should but no way to stop that.
I think the scantilly clad women shaking their goods in videos and whose looks are tilted towards europe is a bigger detriment to young black girls.

I agree that Rappers delight had it's share of materialism & escapism.
Bragging & boasting has always been an integral part of reggae & hip hop..And a lot of the lyrical content was also suggestive , x rated, crass or materialistic.
Pre 1977 examples would be amongst movies . parents who played the dozens or soundsystem soundclashes.

Unlike the others, you at least are willing to admit that rap, in its present form, is an evolution of early rap.

^You have no business acumen, do you? She is a shrewd salesman! Nicky and her handlers understand that in order to appeal to a wider audience, you must have a White or white-like image. The world loves everything WHITE. A hard truth for bozos like you, heh?
Do you think if she only cornered a niche-market (Urban Black music audience) she would make money? As much as Negroes love to buy 'knock-offs,' she would not have a chance in hell to make a profit off her craft.

Schizophrenic fag, didn't you just put down Hip Hop, and now, when we're discussing Nicky Minaj, and how she's copying white Lady Gaga, we're talking about Nicki Minaj and her ''craft'' rather than ''material glorification'' and ''hostile/confrontational'' utterances, laid over a beat?

^^^^ LOL, Man STFU..Tyra Banks, Toni Braxton, Brady etc all had international success without acting like whores. Tyra Banks is probably the most famous Super Model currently both international and abroad, Toni Braxton's "Unbreak my heart" is an actual classic, unlike the garbage lil Kim has put out, name me a song Lil Kim has made that is still well known today like Toni Braxtons. Mya and Brandy simply decided not to push their careers after an early start, when I was young they were well known. Even other Famale Rappers like Salt and Pepa and Missy Elliot etc. never acted like whores like you and lioness are trying to imply.
This whole whorish, Lady Gaga bullcrap is a recent fad. Lil Kim was seen as a whore by my generation and so would Nikki Minaj had she came out back then, its this Soulja Boy, "Do the Dougie", Wocka-Flocka, watered down version of hip-hop that allows Nikki Minaj's wack rap to be popular. Hip-hop was watered down when I was a kid but nothing like this, at least we had Biggie, Tupac, the Old Emeniem, the old Nas etc.

Here's a theory I find quite plausible about how and WHY hip hop lost its way. Apparently it was infiltrated by the FBI to lead blacks astray. “I believe that Death Row Records, which included dozens and dozens of police officers at all levels, according to a high-level police officer that investigated them, was a front company and was trying to continue penal coercion and mess up [Tupac Shakur's] head. Death Row, of course, published the most negative songs he ever produced." http://hiphopwired.com/2010/06/18/book-claims-fbi-used-death-row-to-stop-black-activism/Posts: 433 | From: nairobi | Registered: Oct 2011

Kurtis blow - Tough James brown Afrika bambaataa - unity Funky Four + 1 - King Heroin Jazzy jeff- king heroin The rake - street justice Captain rapp - Bad times ( Jimmy jam & Terry lewis )
Fatback band - Is this the future SugarHill gang - Livin in the fast lane Grandmaster Melle melle - white lines Grandmaster Melle melle - Jesse ( endorsing jesse jackson for presidency )
Dr jeckyll & mr hyde ( Andre Harrell )- fast life Divine sounds - what people do for money Afrika Bambaataa feat.John Lydon - World Destruction Project Future - Ray - Gun - Omics Malcolm X / Keith LeBlanc- No Sell Out
Very few groups had long term album deals in the early 80's.So Many releases were independent 12 inch singles.
Run dmc has a few social commentary tracks but ...It's like that ...Is the most popular due to its re release in the 90's & inclusion on a grand theft auto video game.
I'm a dj musician & was born in the 90s. My father & brothers owned soundsystems so i collect a lot of 70's - 80s vinyl as the sound is unique. I could find many more but some recordings are really bad..
eg Mr t , School band recordings etc
Re..The message
Grandmaster flash in his autobiography claims that this recording which they were forced to record caused the breakup of the band.They were told to let an outsider ( Duke Bootee ) replace the groups rappers. Melle mel was the only featured artist from the original group on the track . His verse " a child is born with no state of mind " is recycled from superappin which was recorded before gmff5 signed to sugarhill records.
Melle mel & Flash also mentions the anti drug hypocrisy at the time. As artists were consuming drugs & creating anti drug records
Eg Melle mel - white lines
I guess you have to experience hip hop at an earlier era to really notice the changes & similiarities with Jamaica.
I think the late 80's was a key period as artists evolved with better budgets ,contracts , endorsements & more. There was also a drugs & gun epidemic in the usa & Jamaica..
Planet Rock - The Story Of Hip Hop And The Crack Generation documentary
Not surprising considering were most came from, in social background.

Fail, many people I know who listen to rap do very well in society and are higher educated. In fact they do better than you ever will. Even though I don't like modern hip hop, it has become a billion dollar industry. You only happen to look at the surface. As narrow minded as you are. Rapping about succes in life to you means failing.
Use your vivid imagination when it comes to the early pop songs and modern pop songs, see the connection already?
See how it has effected society as a whole. "The world isn't what it used to be". lol
Not only are you stupid when it comes to anthropology, archaeology etc..but also in sociology you don't score very well.
All the aspects you've mentioned earlier on already were long before hip hop was in existence. Tell me it's not so?lol
Is this moral?
He blew his mind out in a car(?)
Found my way upstairs and had a smoke (?)
This was the spinning point of something larger. Look and listen at pop music later on, up till now how it demoralized.
And a lot of these fans were drugs users too!
*Not everybody lives in your world of sucking and jiving.
Considering the many inconsequent failures by you, it's evident you aren't that well educated.
Real gangster rap started with NWA.
Real conscious rap with Grand Master Flash and the Furious 5, The Message. It can only make you wonder we it was called the message? There is also a second part of that song.
And at the same time you'll use the N-word at any unimaginable chance you get. As if it was invented by these young black males? Even the expression sucking and jiving dates back way before rap music. lol
Confirming truth.

And all the children are insane, All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake(?) To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snakehe's old, and his skin is cold The west is the best, The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest The blue bus is callin' us, The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' us The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on(?) He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, andthen he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a doorand he looked inside Father, yes son, I want to kill you(?) MotherI want tofuck you(?) C'mon baby, take a chance with us X3 And meet me at the back of the blue bus Doin' a blue rock, On a blue bus Doin' a blue rock, C'mon, yeah Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill (?) This is the end, Beautiful friend This is the end, My only friend, the end It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die This is the end

part 1 of KRS-ONE - Hip Hop Beyond Entertainment, a lecture on the history of Hip-Hop, culturally and politically. He talks about the Zulu Nation and the Black Panthers specifically, the second part of the lecture he talks more about spirituality, manifestation principles and the importance of trees.
Lawrence Krisna Parker (born August 20, 1965), better known by his stage names KRS-One (or simply KRS), and Teacha, is an American rapper. At the 2008 BET Awards, KRS-One was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for all his work and effort towards the Stop the Violence Movement as well as the overall pioneering of hip hop music and culture. Born Lawrence Parker in Park Slope, Brooklyn in the summer of 1965, the MC left home at 14 to become an MC and Philosopher. He came to live in a homeless shelter in the South Bronx, where he was dubbed Krishna by residents because of his interest in the Hare Krishna spirituality of some of the antipoverty workers. By the time he met youth counselor Scott Sterling, he was also writing graffiti as KRS-One (Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone). Together he and Sterling, a.k.a. DJ Scott La Rock eventually created Boogie Down Productions, releasing their debut album, Criminal Minded, in 1987. KRS-One has been a vegetarian since his youth. In the summer of 1984, KRS-One hit the music scene with a rap group called "Scott La rock and the Celebrity Three" with a record called "Advance". In a time when most rappers rhymed about cars, jewelry, alcohol, and the latest dance, KRS-One was rhyming about nuclear war prevention. Scott La Rock and the Celebrity Three was composed of Scott La Rock, Levi167, MC Quality, and KRS-One. After five largely solo albums under the name "Boogie Down Productions," KRS-One decided to set out on his own. On his first solo album, 1993's Return of the Boom Bap, Parker worked together with producers DJ Premier, Kid Capri and Showbiz,[disambiguation needed] the latter providing the catchy-yet-hardcore track "Sound of da Police".

1). I have the time and money to do so.
2). None put you in authority to make any of your absurd claims.
3). Stop mimicking a black woman. It's preposterous.

Ah... she was just a lil' sis with a FAT ASS to me. What is a Black man to do when a FAT ASS is jiggling before his tormented eyes?
But you folks here show your insecurities... You have elevated what should have been a simple "one time" nutt into some kind of ghetto royalty. Carry on I guess it's Fair Posts: 1819 | From: odesco baba | Registered: Feb 2005
