i have slight ocd, i make lists.

shock bloggin' on dx? your parents would be proud.

the notorious b.i.g. sucks. russell simmons is the devil. all MY favorite hip hop albums are the best. all YOUR favorite hip hop albums are the worst. the south sucks and so does the west. let me not forget .. new york hip hop is dead. but wait .. ALL hip hop is dead. and while we're at it .. everything i listen to is amazing and this generation doesn't know a damn thing about good music.


y'all let me know when y'all are gonna be done with the shock bloggin' cause to be very honest with you, the shit is tired.


i mean, we all have opinions. we all disagree on who's the greatest emcee of all time. we all have a different top ten albums list. one man's illmatic is another man's atliens which is another man's chronic. and while we don't have to agree, we also don't have to shock blog just to get attention. 


lil wayne is NOT the g.o.a.t. but neither is biggie .. and tupac? nope, not him either. why? because hip hop is an artform. it's no different than films, art and books. what you may consider to be the worst song ever may have struck a chord with someone and touched them to a point where they consider it the greatest song ever. who are we to sit around and discount the impact that an e40, biggie, wayne have had on their fans and on the music? or is it that we forget that not too long ago our parents were telling us to "turn that damn music off!"


it was our music that was vulgar, violent and lacked substance. our music wasn't rebellious in their eyes, just noise. they treated the music we loved in the same way that we treat the music that our younger brothers and sisters love. does chicken noodle soup have any less substance than rumpshaker? is psk's coke talk more positive than the subject matter on hell hath no fury? and have we forgotten about 2 live crew? c dolores thought our music was setting back an entire race. stanley crouch damn near discredits everything related to hip hop. nwa wasn't seen as a revolutionary voice crying out for a voiceless generation. dr dre's the chronic wasn't met by hip hop purists with the classic label we bestow upon it. every generation has had an older generation discredit their artistic expression and we cried foul when it happened to us. and look at us now, doing the same exact thing to the generation coming up under us. as misunderstood as we've claimed our music has been we don't seem to be giving anyone the benefit of the doubt.


i don't like most south hip hop. i don't like most west coast hip hop. come to think of it, i'm not much of a fan of most new york hip hop. that's not to say that i hate all hip hop, but very little hip hop moves me nowadays. but maybe that's the point. maybe we're supposed to move on and discover new things and not sit around and complain about what's wrong with what we used to love. accept that we're not meant to like every damn thing that comes out. and that the south, the west, new york and every other region that wants to join in can make the music into any kind of sound that they enjoy. music is an artform but it is supposed to be FUN. i think a lot of y'all forgot that.


basically, one man's trash is another man's treasure. so please, learn to have an opinion and stop acting like an authority.


oh, and andre 3000 is the greatest of all time ;)
