Lou I didn't respond right off the bat to show you that even though these cats have some good stuff, they aren't really relevant to hip hop (yet). I really did like their material and I'm sure that others did as well but nobody responded after almost 30 views...(illmuzik avgs about 1 response per 10 views...) thats gotta tell you something...They might be bananas in Fla. but if their names don't come up in the local barber shop here or if I bring their names up...no one else can relate or build on whatever I say because they've never heard of them. Thats the point that I was trying to make. Relevancy to an individual, or on youtube is one thing, but relevancy in hip hop is much broader. Good ish though, I'm glad to see cats representing and I wish them much success at it.

 

[LouBez]

dude...your original point was not lost on me...I believe I was the one who went over your head...

Hip Hop doesn't have a congressional body of representatives that decides whats relevant and whats not..the fan decides..your personal criterion has been stated...I understand what makes an artist relevant to you...I didn't post this shit so be like "look my dogs are relevant" I posted it cause based on what you have been griping about when it comes to rap (commercial shit, fake gangsterism, ect.) I thought you would vibe to these cats

to say someone is or isn't relevant to hip hop is ass backwards though...what is hip hop? is it a culture? a business? a market? Try to be a little clearer when you are making a point. From where I sit anybody who participates in the culture is relevant...all you guys are relevant to hip hop, you are creators, thats a big deal bro, regardless if the guys in your barber shop know it or not...

Is fat joe relevant to hip hop? He doesnt sell records, his ringtones are platinum, he's an original emcee, kids dont goto his shows...

Is Rass Kass relevant to hip hop?

now if you wanna talk who's relevant to the industry then just say so dude...

ask yourself this though...what have YOU done to ensure that the artists you want to be "relevant" will be?

I think the internet has fucked alot of shit up for music...you like these guys? Then put people onto them...MAKE them relevant...dont leave that up to jimmy ivoine and the 10 -18 yr olds...

 

[dacalion]

hahaha you have some strange views on things, I cant say that anything you've said went OVER my head either - it went somewhere...lol. Anyway, whatever, this is like beating a dead horse. It's never been about "my personal criteria" but call it that if you like. Up your hip hop knowledge and get back at me...lol

 

[LouBez]

its not a competition bro...its cool if you don't understand...your reluctance to discuss and resort to insult says it all...anyway, I hope you had a good time listening to these boys as that was the goal of the thread.

 

[dacalion]

wtf? What was insulting? What competition? mic check one...mic check two...are you reading the same ish I typed? jeeez....

 

[LouBez]

"up your hip hop knowledge and get back to me" is insulting and condescending...I read well

 

[dacalion]

well Lou, that wasn't meant to be insulting or condescending...ok?

 

[LouBez]

So what was it supposed to then?

 

[Formant024]

some real nice tracks there, lms got some flows there

 

[DJ Excellence]

Loubez : just because people disagree with your opinions, it doesn't give you the right to insult them. You've been warned. Thanks.

 

[2GooD Productions]

Thats a lot of shit to go through but I just checked that Respiration track, shit is fucking dope. I will definitely be checking out the others.

 

[UNORTHODOX]

Wait..... There were insults thrown?? ..Where??? all I read was a straight convo

 

[UNORTHODOX]

we'll start with my boy LMS and his tribute to the classic blackstar track...LISTEN to this guy flow

For the record Lou, alot of these guys got flow! Thanks for sharing. I gotta take a sec and really give'em a listen

 

[Formant024]

For a part, the thing wrong with hiphop is that people arent digging for artist anymore. I know, different styles etc but my background is more focused on the support-your-locals attitude. Like Dac, sorry man, but who cares if the barber ISNT playing those tracks and probably those tracks played @ the barbershop would appeal more to the yomtv crib generation. I get that's relevant to the commercial side of it. But damn, there's a lot of joe nobody's bringing more relevance than you could squeeze into a videoclip. Seriously, i give thumbs up for those that actualy dig up artist like loubez posted cuz it means it took effort in finding good hiphop instead of waiting besides the radio or tv...

formant doesnt care where ya from, just rep your local scene!

 

[dacalion]

1). I'm a part of the local scene here. I know who's doing what in my area. I never said that I don't support them, or any up and coming hip hop artist.

2). Some of you guys really over analyze ish, you half read something and jump to premature conclusions, and then say I needed to explain it better...and to top that... you bring words into play that were never said...the original point was "whats relevant to you is one thing...whats relevant to hip hop is another..." IT CANT GET ANY CLEARER! If thats not a true statement (before you put your own meaning on it) then I don't know what to tell you.

3). read my 1st response to this thread...I'm supporting and giving praise to what these guys are doing. I'm just saying that what they are doing is not relevant to hip hop as a whole (yet) because I can't call up John Doe in Nebraska and ask him if he's copped the new Sid Viscious single that everybody is pumping down in Fla. But I can call him and ask if he's heard the new Jay Z joint.

4). Sorry Formant, but these guys weren't relevant to you until you saw this thread, use some of that infinite knowledge and wisdom that you possess and tell me if they were relevant to anything in your world 2 days ago? What about Jay Z & Kanye? Ofc, they were...Thats my point!

^^^
Actualy the last 2 didnt do much for me at all lol. I didnt state it very clear, i shouldve added "other" local scene stuff simply because there's much good stuff out there. You dont run into those artist unless you find out for yourself after looking for stuff like that or reading the boards.

 

[dacalion]

great point!

hey Formant, I'm not gonna keep this going...I don't mind getting on you guys nerves (lol)... but I dont want to get on admins nerves with this topic and it seems to have turned into a debate over some "irrelevant" ish that leads to nowhere. None of them have told me to STFU yet but I feel like its coming so I'm just gonna volunteer it...hahaha. I'm sure you understand...
