Saw him in person at the Impact conference in like 99 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Crazy freestyle was looped up on the tekevsions in every room. Common been ill!!
@@BlackSkins-il7ch COMMON HAD SOME OF THE BEATS BY KANYE, J DILLA, NEPTUNES, DJ PREMIER, PETE ROCK AND MANY GOATS OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. YOU ARE WRONG! IT’S BECAUSE THE HIGHER UPS IN THE INDUSTRY DID NOT WANT THE SOULFUL, CONSCIOUS, UPLIFTING AND OVERALL POSITIVE HIP HOP MUSIC TO BE THE FOREFRONT OF OUR CULTURE. ALL THEY WANTED WAS THE CASH, DRUGS, VIOLENCE AND HOES TO BE THE MAIN FACE OF HIP HOP.
@@BlackSkins-il7ch YOU FORGOT HOW MANY HARD AND SOULFUL BEATS KANYE MADE FOR HIM? OR THOSE NEPTUNE BEATS? THOSE PREMO AND PETE ROCK BEATS?? THOSE J DILLA BEATS? MAAAAN GTFOH!!!
@@nathanmasi1931 LOL!!!! NO ID produced that one too. Jay is smart, always cribbed from the true originators. But Jay a Nas fan like many lowkey so I understand.
What do u mean mean by "last"? There are thousands and thousands of GREAT LYRICSTS. Go listen to Locksmith Coast Contra, Aesop, Lupe, Oddisee, Substantial, El-P, Mach-Hommy... Not to take nothing away from Canibus, but this is some BS.
@PietraSCR ok, this might hurt ya brain...I said 96-00....Fucking contra wasn't even born yet 🤣🤣🤣😉 I'm only talking about the timeline I said...96-2000. If Canibus was a 10, Big Pun was a 9.6 but that's about it. Look it up on RU-vid
@@PietraSCR and, Canibus himself doesn't go nowhere nearly as hard as he used to. If he ever snapped again it would be over for many if not all. Canibus is a damn near a scientist of ryhmes
Love the convo. Tech is what enables the young man to say he started rapping 2 months ago and now he has a record out. Assuming one has the skill set there are other industries where one could get a product out in 2 months.
Love love love Common!! Chi Town Finest‼️‼️‼️‼️💯💯💯💯 Also, I just tweeted how much I Jay Z “444” Album. Definitely his best album. 💯💯 So under appreciated.
7:59 stop trying to rap to kids and rap to your age group or collaborate with the kids that you find dope. Their are good new artists their just not all mainstream
Tbh andre 3k just isnt confident in hisself . Its allot easier making a song in a group . And it plenty of examples of him sending feature verses to artist and telling them over and over he doesnt think its good enough
Common been on a lie train. He dissed Drake first on Sweet. That was a Drake diss and he admitted years ago that it was and that he was mad because he was dating his ex Serena.
@@apostle652 Everybody beefin with Drake cause of a girl or shady business movies. Drake dated Sirena Williams after Common so he felt some type of way. And Common song came out first.
I think Kendrick Lamar usher did a whole black Renaissance with that two pimp a butterfly album I mean I think Jay z been taking notes from Kendrick, not sorry, not common
Hip Hop is Black Music. Other races love Hip Hop because of the raw talent & authenticity but that comes from the Black Experience & Black Struggle in America & across the world.
Ageism comes from older black folks still competing with the young. Always bring told your entire generation ain't ish doesn't make you reach out to that for guidance. Done with the 90's comes directly from that.
Nah, I think it comes from hip hop being a youth culture. It was created by kids. I remember when Roxanne Shante was on Vlad, even she said when she turned 30, she felt pressured to abandon hip hop because she was "grown" now. She thought that maybe she should get into jazz or R&B. Andre3000 wasn't the first to feel that way. Even Biggie said he didn't want to be a 30 year old rapper.. I've always felt that hip hop could grow as we grow.. I've always been against ageism. Just because it started as a youth culture doesn't mean it has to stay only with the youth.
@@KtotheG Bruh. The worst basketball debate begin with ageism. They to soft to play in the 90's. Clothing style. Old dudes messing with young girls. Older women with younger men. Ask any young cute girl if the older ladies don't hate there guts. You do not see this in any other sport, music or culture. There before hip hop ever existed.
@@williamgrierson4133 Okay, I was talking specifically about hip hop, but you do have that element in broader black culture and it's a shame. The older women against younger women thing comes from the fact that these old brawds refuse to settle down. So they're competing against the young cuties for the same men. I knew it was bad when I saw this story back in 2015 of a 42 year old woman who got deleted in a night club after a fight..My first thought was, "what was she doing in a club at 42?" That's a sad way to go out at that advanced age. The basketball debate isn't racial or cultural, though.. Everybody talks about that. But I think that started from the youngsters because they kept dissin' the stars from the '80s and '90s. Ever since Kobe came out really... because his fans were saying he was better than Jordan.. That's what started it. Then when Lebron came out, the old school disrespect began to kick in to overdrive.
@@KtotheG The basketball debate are from black older men attacking anyone that threatens MJ. That's the 90's. As soon as they said Ant looked like a young MJ the hate came bad at Ant. Even though Ant this year, was MJ's rookie year. Those same men say their rap was better than everything out now. Used to mainly be barbershop talk but now you have grown men feeding their families off hating Bron, and or anything new going on. Angry Black men style.
@@KtotheG How you think Melle Mel and them felt when the new generation like LL and Run came thru. Their style became dated and associated with a time frame. I don't think it's as much as a age thing as it is STAYING CURRENT and FRESH. A lot of older rappers took time away and that messes with your timing and rhythm. And the other point is accepting that their new style of music is more of a passion project. Most of these joints won't chart the top 100 Billboard or be in the clubs. But it has to be IMO on par with their classic material, otherwise I think it will be perceived like a let down.
