Quote (Menace)
the majority decides the majority leads the minority in the mainstream everyone agrees that the majority is CRAP so the CRAP represents the mainstream end of the deal in sociology it's the same i don't know what people bitch about so much HIP HOP is seen as a misogynistic and materialistic genre of music and culture the overall image of it it's like that the majority image of it it's like that and people think that it's like that because it's a MAJORITY IDEA wrong or right it's the majority you can do anything about it
but the radio decides what the majority are listening to. some people are put off hip hop because they think its too violent or controversial as well.

U know what it is... IMO I don't mind people actually listening to the mainstream, but they really have to know how it was back in da days you know... Because many ''kids'' don't know that! And THAT is a big mistake if u callin' ur self an Hip-Hopper...
yeah i agree with this as well, i know some guys that are only into mainstream and are trying to rap, but what annoys me is that they don't know where hip hop came from or the history etc.

you use the criteria they use here i promise you most of the tracks anyone plays aren't real hip hop
the best point that guy raises is about skill, but still absurd trying to classify a genre just because you dont like whats on the radio and because hip hop has lost sight of where it came from or whatever the problem is
the only thing i didn't like was when they said something about hip hop not being violent or something, but the reality is a lot of hip hop is violent because hip hop reflects society, and where these people came from. a lot of other genre's don't do that.
