To shut the haters up about Lord Jamar....This man still tours with Brand Nubian, he's an actor and does voice work . This man isn't butt hurt,he's honest. A legend on top of that so he doesn't have to compete with a youngin .
Tha Ruthless 1_ AZF how is he not a legend. and question how old are you. cause the way the new generation is , they will down talent and crown Lil Uzi a legend.
Why haven't Joe Budden and Lord Jamar spoken on topics together before.. shit would be epic. Low key Joe Budden and Lord Jamar could have a radio show, nobody would turn that shit off
Phillip Edwards they are too similar in opinion. Thats why Joe and AK works well, 2 different side of the spectrum. Would be dope if he could come in as a guest tho
Real shit. It's suspect that Yachty cnt make his own decision to talk to real man like Jamar. The fact that his manager or team interfered with that is extremely suspect and he shld be very leery abt his ppl. They're worried that a real niggas like Jamar wld open his eyes up.
But it's the same for Lil Yachty and most of the things nowadays....I mean nowadays people that are at the "top" of our world are telling us " We are at our highest form of evolution " what we doing has never been done becasue we so intelligent blablabla , I mean look take a book Platon , that was wroted in antiqu greece and his level of philosophy and , take a philosopher of nowadays if we listen to what does people says to us , the level should be so high, like it should be exponential , those so called philosophers nowadays should revolutionize the shape of philosophy and no. They just idiots compare to Platon , and let's not takin Platon because he's at the top , I mean take even a philosophers from the 50's/60's like Martin Luther King , or Malcolm X or Bukowski , and compare them level of talking , and compare it to people nowadays , to them so called "philosophers" you gonna be afraid how level got down , Im ean this just crzay how people are dumb nowaday...This is just crazy...
Willow Smith posted blank pics on instagram and they got 400,000 likes. Blank pics. So what we're seeing is a generation of almost mindless sheep. Highly programmable.
Lord Jamar on Everyday Struggle would be amazing.... I actually think that Jamar with Akademiks would have been perfect because he does not sugar coat anything.
Mumble rap when it's said and done will be looked at like disco. It's made for people on dope and pills, it's had some catchy hits, but most people will celebrate when it's over, and it will leave a new generation of dope fiends!
Aaron Holt I've said that to some of my people, Trap is Disco now, oversaturated and lacks originality. It's some dope stuff out their trap but the majority of it completely forgettable.
You can't compare the 2. Disco was bands, who had talent. Mumble rappers have no talent, apart from appealing to the sorry little spastics that follow them.
Real talk. And it's a sad reality that the last sentence of your statement is so sad and scary. The after effects of this mumble rap bullshit is going to be tragic.
Dude did anyone ever imagine hip hop would be full of Soulja Boys? Like, that is what Hip Hop is now. I remember when he was considered trash and not your ideal example of a good rapper. Nowadays being like Soulja is what it means to be a rapper
Today's mumble rappers are so bad that they make Soulja Boy sound like Nas in his Illmatic days. Shit at least Soulja Boys style was original and some people will kill me for this but I would rather listen to "Crank Dat" than anything these rappers put out! I'll even go as far as to listen to Justin Biebers "Baby" than this new wave of mumble bullshit!
Graywolf Canine you fucking shit stain. "Made more money than legends" 😂 clown ass. Nas is still touring and clearing up. When does Soulja boy ever tour? He ain't even selling any music.
there's very little to no profit these days from selling music, 40K isn't horrible in this climate. live shows & touring is what most artists focus on. like big boi of outkast has been saying, "the music is free, the tickets & merchandise isn't."
GODLIKE PARIAH mainstream and "household name" are two totally separate things. yachty core fanbase demographic, that age range, they are not ALBUM purchasers.
Even if to people say Yachty sold around 40K is a lot , a majority say the album was garbage and had no hits. Face it if he doesn't have another hit he'll become more like MC Hammer/Vanilla Ice then before.
Just because you have hits doesn't mean your good. MC Hammer was considered a joke in the rap community and he's a nobody. Like a majority of the party rappers out there.
MC Hammer was considered a joke? Um, when? Hammer did exactly what he wanted to do and NOBODY dared to fuck with him. Hammer would check niggas, dead ass.
stop making wack rappers famous. I opened up for Lord Jamar (Brand Nubian) few weeks back in Manhattan at a real hiphop show. with large professor, tragety kadalfi and more! Lil Yatchy would of gotten laughed at or everyone would have went outside to smoke during his set.
Mike ADHD Question why do all Hip-hop fans have to be the same and like the same type of music I can never understand why can't Yacthy have a lane and others have their lane and coexistence?
I'm 29.. I've almost seen 3 decades of this hip hop shit. old school cats hating on the new school cats isn't the problem. it's new school neglecting to accept the challenge of the school.. what happened to competition in hip hop?..
Aaron Garnett it stopped when people started seeing the dollar signs. It goes back to what Lord Jamar said with the Branding ect. It's seen by the youngins as just another avenue for money inevitably destroying both the culture AND standard of today's rap/hip hop culture. the fact that the younger generation enjoy simple BS with 3 words, mumbling and some generic grimey beat says ALOT. People aren't looking for the talent now, they looking for what makes the money and we all know catchy shit gets around like wild fire (too bad the majority of mainstream music these days are pure fucken shit either way). I blame it on Social Media honestly, too much BS to look at/watch that it's become the STANDARD for many people to enjoy bullshit. Too many kids with too much freedom and 'Yes men'. Not enough real people pulling the strings.
Khalil Abdulaziz if you don't like it, why don't you start rapping and create that feeling that you want instead complaining about what other artist are doing if not STFU, p.s. Andre 3000 wore feminine clothing , prince and a other artist as well so the hair and extra ish ain't new , stop complaining and start rapping, be the change you want to see.
It's like a restaurant being known by its mascot and sales slogan, rather than it's food. Great advertising, but the food is garbage. Music is a type of food for the soul. Garbage music is like GMO Swine. It clogs the soul flow and leads to spiritual death.
I got that much MORE RESPECT for Lord Jamar than I ever had before...I am on my third/fourth interview now. Major Props to this Man for never givin'in and keepin'it 111% real.
Right. This generation lacks the ability to discern between critiquing and downright hating. Sometimes there's no nice way to say something is trash 🙄but people are so Uber sensitive as if it effects their paycheck lol.
BAW Entertainment Fake Rick Ross did not admit he had that Job at frist. And the stuff he raps a bout is what freeway Rick Ross lived not him. That's why willams Roberts is fake.
In music "true talent" will last. Artist will come and go. Some will have their "15 minutes of fame" Others will just fall by the wayside. Time will tell you about this "new generation" of artists. The greats, the legends, their names still resonate even when they are finished making music
Hearing Lord Jamar speak....gave me an instant flashback to the Brand Nubian track "Don't Let It Go To Your Head". Every single word of his verse spoke about that type of person Yachty is. "One Single Don't Make You The Shit". "Don't fall into the pit..of callin it what it's really not / This is just one single you got that's really hot" [ that part does NOT apply to Yachty, for obvious reasons ] This Yachts shit is exactly why I been tryin to keep the knowledge of Rap passing on to every rapper I see. Young Ppl gonna end up givin these dudes praise for bullshittin with bars and having ( undebatable ) weak production on the beats.
I have no issue with mumble or not mumble. My problem is that so many of these rappers today can't even stay on beat. Yachty goes out of time so fuckin often. As does Famous Dex. They seem funny/cool in interviews...but how has no producer explained to them what 'staying in time' is?
It's not Jamar's fault that his interviews are reaching out to a lot of people and starting to get more demands for more interviews. I'd rather hear him speak about interesting topics about the world than to listen to Yachty's trash ass music. You must be a Yachty fan so i'mma leave this quote from this interview. "You're only entertained from something by your level of intelligence"
This Lord Jamar just schooled me on business 101. I never looked at a Corporation to be a person and the person being the brand. Wow. That's that apply to all business structure? or just music business? Damn, I just learn some shit.
Yachty doesn't understand he hasn't put the work in to become a brand. No one knows who he is...only kids. Everyone knows Drake, Jay Z, and Nicki Minaj. They are "brands"
I did and will continue to do so. I dont give a rats ass how much of a fan you are of his. The fact remains that Drake has been on top for 9 years which is unheard of in the music industry. There's only and handful of artist who have done that which places them as ELITE. Even 50 Cent hasn't seen a decade. He has been around for a decade but hasn't been top selling artist for a decade.
Roy S my comprehension? Lmao you the one who said he been on top don't get mad because I'm refuting what YOU said Drake and Nicki Minaj are no where in the same league and that's a fact don't get your feelings hurt 😂
I used to not like Jamar, but he been having them responses and point of views in interviews I can fuck wit. Im with it, Jamar and budden would indeed be a legendary duo podcast/interview. They'd need a moderator tho, knowing them they would go left 5 secs into it.. and keep goin that direction with their personalities.
40,000 copies sold by a 19 year old is pretty big. He's only 19. He's a kid living a better life than most people. Everyone knows who he is. He's famous too. Imagine..
how the fuck is he making that much an the best rapper in NYC not even making that much hip-hop died in the 90s these new werido like rapper like him u seen his sprite commercial I remember in the 90s they had Voltron sprite commercial with fire rapper look it up new generation
Im gonna actually give Jamar credit. He has shown that he fucks with some of the new stuff that comes out of Hip Hop and even some of stuff he may not like he can listen to it and understand how it's a hit. Lil Yachty's "Teenage Emotion" is a learning lesson for new artists. FOCUS ON THE MUSIC AND EVERYTHING ELSE WILL FALL IN. Be popular for the right reason because alot these corporation dont know the difference between genuine interest and being a meme. But I will say it aint over for Yachty yet, just take this L go back to the drawing board.
Yo Vlad, I make many jokes about you, just like everyone else, but it's always for laughs. Thank you for having thick skin. You have a strong work ethic and always bring what people want to hear. Respect!
Just saw where Yachty was talking about how he is a platinum selling artist and now I see this and other places he sold 40k in 1 week. So now I guess he 'was' a platinum selling artist. Also Lord Jamar was on point with this interview.
He was right for the most part on this one what he said reflects what he thinks about music if he took MUSIC more seriously he would've been more disappointed with the sales
I'm not a Yachty fan but dude made 13 million in 16 months on ventures outside of music. This is a good example of old people not understand what the fuck is going on around them.
Versace loudpack I think he may understand what's going on around him but he's talking about music sales not outside of that . I personally don't fw yachtys music but I'm deffly glad he got his mom out the struggle
College Kid his label that he has direct financial ties to. He has a net worth of 3 million, that 16 million has a trickle down effect. Stay in college, kid
Marc Dunn his demographic is teenagers. Teenagers don't buy music they pirate it. He's a very influential figure like him or not, I'm 24 and a bit too old for his shit but you can't deny what he's accomplished.
Versace loudpack who the hell pirate music ???? teens dont even know the definition of piratinh jajajj and im 21 im glad i grew up listening to old heads and how they actually spoke truth in there music , they had message they had turnt ups, they had BARS! they had that boom bap hip hop . fuck them mainstream.
GaMEsH0w 4LIfE who? Kids with no money or daddy's credit card. And the youth don't fuck with that boom bap shit it's corny to them and it's even Cornier to criticize their taste in music lol. Every generation is different.
Even though brand Nubian wasn't hitting big gold and platinum hits.. They remained relevant for a very long time. They knew how to stretch their careers. I'm 24 and love their ish.
