"The sound of the music is fucked" - Mike Rapaport on hiphop
Not a fan of this show or any of these commercial platforms who use Hip Hop for the dollar while sacrificing it's cultural integrity. But every now and then I enjoy tuning in to commercial media just to be entertained by certain figures who bomb on the industry (Beanie Siegel, Onyx, Joe Budden, R.A. The Rugged Man etc.) and how it projects the image of Hip Hop.
Be sure to skip past the wack-ass intro beat for their show. Rant/humor by Rapaport begins at 19:16

Why has this dude become a go-to for opinions on rap music?

I never knew he was, i never saw him as a go-to. Though I do agree with him on a number of points and his rant was funny.

Social media kinda killed forums in general. But when there is a good topic, it usually brings out crew. DPB’erz!

This is partly true, but go on KTT. The night the Young Thug x Future mixtape dropped, the thread for it had nearly 500 pages in just that night.Philaflava wrote:Social media kinda killed forums in general. But when there is a good topic, it usually brings out crew. DPB’erz!

2PBs with 5 people contributing are infinitely preferable to 500 pages of 'Thug got that fire doe' + *blacktwitter.gif*

Not sure what I find a bigger cliche: another actor doing the Trump bash, or his Jaz-wannabe rant?
He’s right about that Jay-Z album though.

this forum has never cared about popular trap music, it has always cared about aging dudes who are mad that times have changed.

Sure, we all wish it was back in the days and the music was as good as it was then but get the fuck over it already.
I love classic Hip Hop as much as anyone, and I was def someone who was an old head for mad years (documented here plenty of times) but I stopped hating and starting appreciating new music for what it is and I like a lot of it.
That 21 Savage album is very dope. Isaiah Rashad last year was very dope. The new Gucci album has some joints. A$AP Ferg's tape was pretty dope. Love Dave East since he came out and he keeps getting better.

The "aging woke crowd" that surfaced upon the release of that jay z album was one of the worst occurrences of 2017.

Re: "The sound of the music is fucked" - Mike Rapaport on hi
The whole reason hip hop is still relevant is because of it's ability to constantly reinvent itself through changing the sound of its production. Guys like Metro, Wheezy, Mike will, Sonny Digital etc can't be praised enough...EMCEE DARTH MALEK wrote:rapperport is hella off point about these new school producers tho. how can you not hear the craftsmanship in metro or mike will's beats?

I agree, sifting through a 500 page thread that's mostly filled with garbage is a massive waste of time, but you have to admit that a large part of the lack of activity here is simply due to of a lack of wherewithal to listen to new music with an open mind. 2PB's with 5 people contributing isn't necessarily a good thing either...step one wrote:2PBs with 5 people contributing are infinitely preferable to 500 pages of 'Thug got that fire doe' + *blacktwitter.gif*

As I get older, I’m sure the same goes for some of you as well, less is definitely more. Ain’t nobody got time for that shit. During our college years or entry level job years, we whored the fuck outta this forum. It was our break room, all day long. As most of us got older, took on real responsibilities, real jobs, family and just grew up, a lot of this changed. Plus, I’m waaaaaaaaaaay more into IG than any other social media platform. I probably spend a good hour throughout the day scrolling my feed. I like that hit it and quit it feeling. This forum has drastically changed but all forms like this too. The Coli’s of the world will always bring in the import car, hypebeast teenagers but we don’t want that discussion here. We don’t have time for stop and chats all day. I’d rather be hit with a dilemma of choosing an album stypeones posts in a poll. But the reality is, a good posts brings good discussion. That will never change.

No one cares about Crapaport, he is an empty barrell.

remember his reaction to the porzingis draft? how often does he get called out on that?
Re: "The sound of the music is fucked" - Mike Rapaport on hi
remember when he rapped in that high & mighty video?
he actually posted a somewhat decent woke rapper video clip on his IG today.
some dude named Katori Walker

i didn't watch the interview, but i imagine he's hating on all the chart-topping raps of the day.
as if ATCQ was as chart topping as mc hammer was in the early 90s.
not that i even admire ATCQ that much. but most of my favorite
rappers and groups i enjoyed because of unintentional humor, great beats,
crazy flows, absurdity, or interesting voices. my favorite mos def
track is a cover of "jam on it".

Re: "The sound of the music is fucked" - Mike Rapaport on hi
^damn, that's funny. I can't imagine Mike Rapaport rapping. Yeah, he is basically hating on the new mainstream sound in the interview, not because of chart-topping status but specifically the new sound of those artists who top the charts.
I'm much the opposite of Mike in my demeanor: I'm an easy-going guy from Harlem who is into many forms of music. I'm happy for everyone else who's enjoying/creating whatever style of music they like. However I never get tired of hearing the endless debate between what people feel is and isn't good Hip Hop, whether online, at the barbershop or on the train.

Rapaport has some pretty good appearances on that show 'dinner for five' on bravo or whatever.
