Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

We'll agree to disagree because hip hop fans are definitely more fickle IMO than fans of other genres

That's true and it can be a good thing and a bad thing. Black people always have dictated what's "cool" or "next". We'll create something, love it then create something else. We'll love a hit then move on to the next. While the white audience is always late and they'll stick to something that's played out to look cool.

Naughty By Natures OPP will have white people going crazy in 2018. At a black party we'll just be like "ehh".
 
I will say that us black people can be late hopping onto "good" TV shows though.

Took me damn near 4 seasons to get a lot of my friends into Game of Thrones. Now they all love it :lol:
me too
think it was like 2014 when i finally started watching
but i would say
the reason is some of those shows
dont appeal to what we are used to
like if somebody explained got to me
whoch they have before i started watching
i woulda dismissed that with the quickness
hell i didnt start watching seinfeld till it was off air
 
Yea, I didn't start Breaking Bad until like the 3rd season either. They all have been watching Power since day 1 though lol
 
It's weird how hip hop fans usually get annoyed and tired of a song when it goes mainstream but other genres will play their mainstream songs to death lol

I've definitely been guilty of it .

Sometimes records just be old to you tho

Social media kinda changed this but a lot of songs would be hits in the streets ("urban market") first and then gradually crossover to that mainstream arena after it gathered enough steam. So by the time its on the radio and really getting played everywhere you might've been listening to that **** for the last 5 months.

When you on social media tho and a song is HOT you gonna see that **** non stop so it just get wore out faster

Its crazy how short consumer attention span is these days with social media. Everyone want to be on that next big wave first...i wonder who did that with "In my feelings"

I don't think it's about color.

It's about devoting time to a show that can be canceled at any moment. I think a lot of people are like that. I was irritated when How To Make It In America and Boss were canceled. I felt like I wasted my time.
Then you have other shows that start out excellent and get bad(Dexter and Weeds). That you still watch because you already watched four or five seasons already.

Plus you don't believe some people when they say something is good, then finally if enough people say a show is good you give it a shot.

Sometimes I watch shows from the beginning(The Wire) and other times it's if enough people rave about it(Sopranos)

The good thing is you can always binge watch later(Rome and Deadwood) if you missed out.

Dont make no sense, especially cause Whalberg kept telling people he wanted to bring it back

It's mostly cause the songs that usually blow are some of the worst ones off albums, and legit fans of hip hop would rather those types of songs not get all that attention and be the representation of it.
 
How to make it in a America was fire. They yanked it and replaced it with Girls :smh:

I need a dollar dollar a dollar is what I need:frown:
 
We're a wave based culture. We create trends constantly to keep ahead of the wave and consequently, don't dwell on that which we already created.

Kinda why a majority the urban clothing lines fizzled out so quickly I think.
