Hip-Hop is approaching 50 years old, we gotta do better with how we treat our history. I feel like we gotta get rid of the term โold school,โ rebrand it as โclassic hip hopโ or somethingโฆ they donโt call it โold school rockโ
Remember how
@Nas
tried to inspire lil kids with โI Canโ โ one of those kids grew up to be

THIS IS WHY HIP HOP IS THE GREATEST SHIT EVER

Did y'all just put Kendrick Lamar's Album run on the same level as Ghostface Killah's

@RobMarkman
? You both need to be drug tested, y'all are buggin' the fuck out, I had to stop watching after that
Every 5 years the internet โdiscoversโ that T-Pain can sing without autotune, only to forget and โrediscoverโ it all over again in another 5 years.
DJ Drama went up against the FEDS for selling mixtapes. Him and Cannon were singled out, beat thatโฆ and the way the way Drama took the Gangsta Grillz brand and still flourished. Grammy Award winning with Tyler! Canโt do nothin but stand up and applaud that
Weโve seen The LOX function as a unit since ~ โ97 with no public mess. They support each other and it showed last night. every member knew each otherโs verses. There was no ego between them; nothing more important than the group last night. That was the fundamental difference
The LOX really the biggest story in Hip-Hop right now and itโs based off RAPS & PERFORMANCE, Not no gossip or no bullshit or fake ass publicity stunt. Itโs inspiring
You can tell who is new here.
Jay and Nas didnโt stop throwing shots after Takeover/Ether either. I donโt know very many rap beefs that just came to an immediate halt after the marquee records drop. Thereโs almost always shots and aftershocks thrown from both sides.
Jay-Z & Big L could not Co-exist.
They were both from Brooklyn & Not only had Big L bested Jigga on so many occasions he sounded like Jay-Z (or rather Jay-Z sounded like Big L)
Big L was the 90's Lil Wayne, work wise. We lost a real one...
Anyone who listens to rap music should be able to rattle off five solo Pusha T songs off the top of their heads. I donโt blame you if you canโt recite a verse, but you gotta know at least five songs.
Remember yโall tried to cancel Offset for crashing Cardi set to apologize? Look at em opening BET Awards together. This why you gotta stay outta married folks business
Kendrick gotta throw a block party or a BBQ, like just a cool ass Cali party, just a good ass timeโ do a performance and make that the โNot Like Usโ video.
That NY Post article tallying the homes that DMX lost was put out to upset us. Donโt even RT it in anger... let them be wack all on their own and pray for X and his family
Jay cleared the $12 million debt X owed to Def Jam due to the contract he signed before Hov took charge. The move helped X sign a new contract at Sony free and clear.
Maaaaan if yโall donโt chill and let these kids enjoy the new Space Jam movieโฆ it wasnโt like the first one was some cinematic masterpieceโฆ it starred MJ and Newman lol
I was able to confirm J. Coleโs โRed Leatherโ verse was recorded before โLike Thatโ dropped and isnโt a reaction to the Kendrick/Drake/Cole situation.
First time Hov said โI know you just ripped the packing off the CD. You probably reading the credits right nowโ โ I looked around the room like โIs this muthafucka spying on meโ ?
On this day 20 years ago, Def Jam executed one of my favorite marketing moves ever:
They dropped the DMX album on 12/21 and the Jay-Z album on 12/28, ensuring theyโd have the last
#1
album of the century, and the first
#1
album of the new millennium.
A gamble, but both hit
#1
So many upcoming artists go thru this, maybe yโall can find inspiration in
@brysontiller
talking about uploading โDonโtโ to
@SoundCloud
in 2014 and then taking it down cause it didnโt get a bunch of plays.

WATCH:
Everybody gonna say they always rocked with Nip but there was a whole lot of โwho does he think he isโ on Twitter the day he said he was gonna charge $100 for his mixtape.
I know how important my dreams are to me and how impossible they seem to others... Cole doin some fly and inspirational shit rn. Canโt do nothin but applaud
