My rant on hip-hop...And ode of sorts if you will...



NaS axed us this in his last single "Can't Forget About You". He declared that Hip-Hop was dead. He wanted to "Roll to every station and murder the DJ". Jay-Z said he "Would come back like Jordan wearin the 4-5, and not to play games witchu, but to take aim atchu".

QB's finest also said in "Can't Forget About You" that "Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game". And he is right. You can take any of the tracks on Billboard's Top 40 Hi-Hop chart and swap beats and lyrics. It's very sad actually. I mean who wants to "2 step, cause that's why they hot in they white tees while they got money in the bank"?? I sure as heck don't. Mims said "He could sell a mil, sayin nothing on the track." Sheeeeit I'll pay a mil not to have to hear his whack ass rhymes. ANd YES, I know different strokes for different folks. Some of you will be like "What the fuck Arif??" While on the other hand some of you will be like "Dang son, you spittin the truff." Haha...and that's cool...I ain't got NO qualms wif dat.

I remember when it used to be about the verses, and NOT the versus. When Rappers had beef they took it to Rucker's and they battled. You had LL battling Kool Moe Dee, you had Jigga versus NaS...Common had spit a song about Hip-Hop. About what it meant for him, and about what it did for him. And DAMN strait I am gonna quote some of it too. I mean come on..."I met this girl, when I was ten years old. And what I loved most she had so much soul. She was old school, when I was just a shorty. Never knew throughout my life she would be there for me." Now maybe it was all about the times that we had when we heard tracks like that for the first time. The memories associated with Wu-Tang playin' in the basement of Fowler while playin hackey sack with your homies. I remember the first time I heard "C.R.E.A.M."...and to this day I can STILL spit it verse for verse. The same goes with Biggie tracks, Snoop, Warren G, Mos, Talib...Jurassic 5, Old LL, Run-DMC, Leaders of the New School and Tribe...

I mean there was always hack, "bubble gum" Hip-Hop. There is ALWAYS a market for it. Do I have to remind you nukka's bout Tag Team, about Digital Underground, remember Organized Rhyme??...Stop it...You all are singing the "Humpty Dance" in your head I KNOW it. Tell me, how did we go from "It was all a dream, I used to read Word Up magazine..." To, "Just bought a Cadillac (THROW SOME D'S ON THAT BITCH!)" and "Go back to my place and kick it like Tae Bo"??

What happened to memorable lines like "Inhale deep like the words of my breath. I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death. I lay puzzled as I backtrack to earlier times, nothing's equivalent, to the New York state of mind" And, "All I need is one blunt, one page, and one pen...One prayer - tell God forgive for one sin" Kids today don't know Hip-Hop. They don't know bout KRS-One, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five aside from what Diddy dun jacked for himself haha. They don't know about Beastie Boys paving the way for Eminem. They don't know what the "Difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6 is??" Now they spittin lines about they "Fly high, no lie and you KNOW this" Now I ain't gon lie, yeah you gonna find that track on my Ipod, and on the MP3 CD spinning in my car. Cause that's how it is. I still need to support Hip-Hop. And maybe with us buying the hack stuff others will realise they need to get back in the game.

President Carter dropped "Kingdom Come" last year. I will agree being as big a Jigga fan as I am, it was not his best work. It was a great CD, but in my own eyes, will not be a classic like Reasonable Doubt, or the Black Album. But fans and Hip-Hoppers accused him of becoming "Corporate". What?? I mean COME ON!! He still can't spit about Marcy and movin snowflakes by the Oz. He doesn't do that anymore...he isn't that guy anymore. He IS corporate...

Last year also saw releases from NaS as mentioned above, Ludacris, Ghostface Killah, Lupe Fiasco (whose disc I though was incredible BTW) And they brought old Hip-Hop back for me. The feelings, the moods, the memories. So to those guys I say thanks. I mean it has gotten so bad for my friend Ayaz and I that we have sunk as low as to listen to Bollywood Lounge Music. Just because we are so fed up with the state of Hip-Hop. Like what IS that??...if any of you know me, you KNOW I steer clear of anything brown...aside from them Somosa's haha...Current Hip-Hop makes me sad for it and them children's who are listening to it and making it they lively hood....and that is all I have to say about that.

Thank you to whoever took the time to read this rant. And now I am gonna open the floor up to comment's or anything you want.


Thanks again for reading...
