Remember When There Was Just Rap?
Â
I was too young to enjoy the inception of hip hop, but I was around for most of it (think “Square Dance Rap” and “Ladi Dadi” on KDAY…that’s about when I got in). For the most part, I don’t remeber there being many labels and different genres of music… there was just rap/hip hop.
Then sometime around the mid-late nineties, with artists crossing over into the commercial & pop culture world, was probably the first real split that was worth mentioning - the line in the sand was drawn between Rap and Hip Hop. Rap being the popularized version of a few of the “elements”, that Hip Hop claimed to embody.
Honestly, that line was fuzzy in itself, and grew even harder to determine with more and more artists crossing back & forth across the line and “messing up the sand”. Then you had the “coastal” bullshit, along with several other attempts at distinguishing genres that would lead us to where we are today. All these different niche’s can either put you in a box, or leave you in an undefinable limbo (something Triple Helix is discovering…but I digress).
I personally don’t care if you’re banging, robbing, gettin crunk, being concious, backpacking, thugging, booty shaking, balling, praying, hustling, abstracting, preaching, ghost writing, crooning, or anything else that will derive from hip hop. This is the music maturing and I’d like to see it split into MORE definitions if possible. The more options the better.
It’s okay to love what you love. And honestly, it’s okay to HATE what you HATE. Problem is that we hip-hop fans spend too much time looking in each others lunch box and dissin’ what someone else has to eat. If that kid loves to eat egg salad sandwich, who are you to question his taste? “Sit down, eat your slice of pizza, and be quiet”. (c) Bush Babees.
Damn near EVERYBODY takes shots at Country music and how much they hate it. I’m sure they fire back in kind, but do you see them getting all in a tizzy and beefin’ with anyone else?
We have the door wide open for hip hop right now. WIDE OPEN. Instead of complaining to each other about the imbalance of music being played out there, we need to direct attention towards the source (pun intended).
