Obviously YOU can't rub two brain cells together.. He participated in the making and selling psychological WARFARE.. That's like a drug dealer sellimg CRACK! THEN TELLING CUSTOMERS CRACK IS BAD FOR YOU. You're not bright at all.
The problem is that today people want "fame"....and Melyssa Ford said it best...fame is a by-product...of something that one has "perfected" or at least a craft s/he is passionate about. For many older celebrities, fame was NOT their goal or passion. This is why reality tv is so CRAZY because insecure people seek validation and attention and are willing to do foolish things to get it. We are a society of people with histrionic disorder and it is only getting worse...
It hasn't though, here's 2 list of hundreds great Hip-Hop albums that were released post 2000 and post 2010. tinyurl.com/ksa4a8a tinyurl.com/lmj7mq5 Only some one who depends on mainstream media and radio for their music think that Hip-Hop is "dumbed down" now.Hip-Hop has always had wack rappers(eg. Vanilla Ice and Mc Hammer) and dope rappers the difference is that now the wack rappers are the ones being thrusted into the spotlight. We have more of a problem with wack niggas controlling the air waves than the actually music being dumbed down. If people would celebrate dope rappers more, then the dope rappers would be the ones on Tv and on the radio. The entertainment industry is driven by the consumer, rappers like Lil wayne are selling more than artist like The Roots so of course the Lil Wayne types are going to be promoted more.
the only reason the early days of hip hop were positive was because the 80s required a clean cut image. hip hop was created by substance abused junkies from new york then promoted by jooish record labels pushing a self destructive identity to distract blk americans from economic growth.
What he said was *exactly* what I've been saying about the music nowadays. *Everything* he said was 100% correct/what I've already said. Artist today put no effort/passion into their work. Just a bunch of arrogant, ignorant, cookie cutter idiots mumbling/slurring their words over a lot of bass. Kids today don't get that though. They'll just say that Bonecrusher is another old head "Hating" on the newer generation with their ignorance and horrible Grammar.
That's why i pretty much don't listen to hip hop much anymore because it has become a marketing scheme, artist trying too hard to cross over by rapping about shit that ain't shit... And now you have iggy, the bitch aint never spent a day in the hood, hell...she ain't even from here (American) and you want me to believe her lyrics? GTFOH... Bone crusher crush them haters with the truth!
Yes I agree 1000 % those saying he only has 1 hit totally miss the point. Hip Hop is NOT about radio hits. Radio hits are good but at the end of the day it is the substance of your album that has weight. Time has proven that those with solid albums and great content have longevity. Those dumbed down or too simplistic don't have longevity. Don't get me wrong, if you do you to the best off it you can win. Getting caught up in what's hot is a recipe for disaster cuz when the next thing is hot, now you're cold and you're done for . Example Auto Tune rappers
Why so many on here bashing bone crusher to defend this era of hip hop. Does Young Thug and Cheef Keef mean that much to you that you gotta defend them like there paying you to do it! He's not a hypocrite, I can quote every word from" I AINT NEVER SCARED" because I was able to understand every word lol He's right, 80 percent of rappers do mumble through lyrics and dumb down to the typical formula just to make a song. That's the era of music at the moment!
I never expected Bone Crusher to be so eloquent! He's 100% right. We go through phases in music but this current sound with the trap drill beats has been going on for over a decade now! It's totally stagnant.
"These kids aren't revering anybody but themselves" that statement alone makes the WHOLE interview. I had a female tell me she was a rapper, and wanted to make it big. I made mention of Slick Rick to her. Mind you, this girl was in her mid-20s. Her response: "Who the fuck is Slick Rick?"
zlistcelebrity To be honest that statement is clearly taken out of context. And his analogy was kind of poor. He may like to follow the instructions on how to build the crib, but someone else may want to figure it out for themselves, test how sturdy it is, and retain the information that they learned rather than following a step by step process that doesn't require much effort. If you're a genuine fan of hip hop there will ALWAYS be someone you like, mabye even admire and take from. But that doesn't really mean you need to learn from them, may not work for you.
Jutaisc2 I think he did veer off a little but what I got from it was that kids nowadays are not aware of the work that those before them had to put in. The bed analogy threw me off but I managed to pick up on what he was trying to say, and I don't think rappers should look to the past as instructions, but more as a reference point and only then put your own twist on things.
Rap music has definitely been extremely destructive and detrimental for/to the black community. That's obvious! The lack of respect for black people's lives in today's popular rap music is tantamount to a petition the black community promotes. It must be what they want to hear or else it wouldn't be a thing. You don't see many other "races of people" bobbing their heads to music that's destroying their own community. *You kinda have to just admit that it's like throwing grenades into a community center for money.* Ask yourself why does it make sense for that to be the thing to do when young black men get a platform primarily consisting of black people.
That’s why you see rappers from every part of the United States dying each day because of the stuff that they preach, it’s all violence. And the same people go “oh R.I.P. he didn’t deserve to die he was so talented” but people don’t want to see through it. This has got to stop, it’s getting ridiculous.
@Ringadingding your gen x comment ruined your whole point. Your generation raised this one. The boomers raised the millennials. You are directly responsible for this modern gen z. The 80s specifically ruined a lot of you. Pushing excess and self absorption on a whole other level. Why are all the gen x parents divorced? Why do all their kids act out for attention on the internet? Your generation was too busy worrying about yourselves to put real families together and actually raise your kids and now blame the kids for the consequences. And then you come on here and take pride in that
"You don't see many other races of people bobbing their heads to music that's destroying their own community." I guess Metal and Heavy Rock doesn't come to mind, huh? Lmfao.
And the answer is the industry no longer wants people who can motivate the hearts of the people. They want artists that are like Fantasy Island. Take your pill, zone out and don't learn anything.
Black people invented wonderful music called THE BLUES. They are greatly responsible for Rock N Roll. Black people are the best musicians on earth. It would be so nice if young black people began playing instruments again and making real music. Can you imagine a new Blues revolution? It would be fantastic!
He is giving some real wisdom at the end . Passion and relentless work ethic cannot be downloaded or just easily copied there is no competition for those who go the extra mile . We are witnessing devolution now where every year is 1984.
Man after watching this video I could listen to this man all day, agree with all his points and what a great delivery, you can hear the passion in his voice
Let me break this done for all ya'll right now listen up! What's going on right now is this. These new school guys are making it off of little talent, and off the backs of what guys like Jay-Z, Snoop, Outkast, Nas, Dr. Dre, NWA, Good Mob, Scarface, Rakhim, Puffy / P. Diddy (Bad Boy Records), T.I, Ludacris. I can go on and on so if I missed a ton of people you get my point. The great people that built hip hop through the years. The new school guys have no respect for hip hop as an art form because hip hop is already setup for them. The ground work has been laid, foundation set. All they gotta do now is dress the part, look the part, say a few rhyming words, and BLAM! They are making some money. But the thing is though if mainstream stays like it is now, then that foundation that was built will start to crack, and cave in on itself. And Hip Hop will turn into some other kind of music. Like a mutation of itself, and hip hop will be gone. And the money will be gone too. Like Bone Crusher said in another video, it's like your parents that worked hard to give you a good life, big house, big pool to swim in growing up. Now your not as hungry to really dig deep and do what you have to do to keep it going. You just wanna be lazy and live off of what they did, until you use up all the stuff they worked for. All the money is gone, the house they bought you sold it, now it's nothing left. That's what's going on in hip hop now days with these new guys.
I just now watched this. It's Oct-7-2024. Hip-hop is dead. I have listened to hip-hop since 81 and still love it. But music and the movie industry is going down the same path and it's sad. Creativity is gone.
Bone Crusher is correct about being creative with hip hop music or just music in general. That is the goal of a well rounded artist...FEED THE MIND intertwined with a soulful hypnotic melody. But nowadays from some rappers you get dumb down mumble music and consumers buy into it. The only time you can enjoy/truly understand that type of music is when your WASTED! There is a moment when your listening to a song and be like, "What the heck did he just say?!". Nah I'm good.
We went from Eric B and Rakim to Drake, wow. Eric B and Rakim didn't need to mumble because they were so creative. There were terms such as Style and Flavor.
These rappers have no excuses, look how original MF Doom is, and he may not be world famous but I garauntee he has plenty of money and he has talent for days
Best vladtv interview. In terms of hearing the essentials to creating, inventing something of quality. And understanding that everything starts with something genuine as passion or as bone crusher says, "the heart of the people". Use the old as an anchor or a foundation, and from there you can reinvent or come with something new for your time and beyond. There will be a time where you'll be the anchor for someone else. its all about passing on great quality sounds and art. Or in a more general term, life is all about passing on. We aint forever, but music is.
In the past, whenever I would hear people say, "I'm not a fan of hip hop," I would think, how Sway, how could you not be a fan of great verses over powerful, rhythmic beats? Now, I can't believe that I'm the one saying, I'm not a fan of hip hop, of today.
@@DewayneHutchings478 that’s an ironic/hypocritical statement. As someone who doesn’t have that college degree could be better than the person who has it.
@@MZRFaith what am I missing ???? It's not about who's better than the next because of what one has or been taught. It's about not knowing what a person is because of their profession. In other words get to know before you think you know. Just like your doing
+Yusef Talib Siraj El-Bey He defends oldschool hip hop/rap but knocks on the product of that which is todays stupid asses...thas Stupid is as stupid does (Forest gump) ego at its worse. The only difference today is rappers rip-off techno beats but this ego sucker doesnt realize that saying IDK what it is nowdays....is YOUR ego failing culture you created jack ass stop defending your ego in denile pretending to reword things in some fake high verbage using lineage of words translating Rap ego rants like a bad preacher belittling the situation calling repeative cheap rythems "Drum wrap beats" when Rap is transparent and no sane person would take Rap seriously if they were truly science-minded and smart...that's why they are called Street fucks...people on the streets share one thing in common..they aren't all there...doesn't matter if you make money off other stupid fucks raping your brothers and sisters your even more of a selfish loser fool wasting your life and hurting others stupid enough to get brain-washed into listening to the poor-me-victom-grief-fits/rant like a ADHD fuck who cannot slow down and truly gather logical thoughts like a meth addict spinning...duuuh.
As mentioning 2pac, Crusher should've also added Dr Dre and his creativity and craft and how HE is loved so much as well... due to his heart/love for the game.
I think it has a lot to do with how the industry presented him initially. Many of these artists are far more intelligent than how they're presented, and in some instances, they're far more talented/ CREATIVE than how they're showcased too.
+Hebrew Honey me too, i thought he was gonna be dumb, no offense to him. i was just basing it off his song, but he's actually was super smart. good on him.
It’s sad cuz I feel somewhat responsible for the way hip hop is now. I was listening to Migos, waka, and drake as a teen back in the early 2010’s. I was worried, but I never really thought they would take over the game the way they did, straight up ruined the game smh.
@@JohnFrance-ns5ve people said when migos first came out that it was nothing but ad-libs, and we were young and didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics or what people said about it, but now we’re paying for it. I’m not sayin the Migos were bad or anything, there’s just no substance to the music, it’s all surface level shit that’s the most popular now. I was fucking with Drake as a teenager, but now that I’m a man, he just comes off like a bitch to me Waka is self explanatory, we knew damn well that dude was just yelling random bullshit and we didn’t care smh 😂
The real issue in hip hop today is the influx of rappers who do it for the money vs artist who do it for the music. It's very apparent who is about the art and who is about the money, there are literally hundreds of stories from various rappers about how when they work with Dr. Dre he makes them rap a line a thousand times over and over until they get it right. That's the kind of dedication and care that goes into Art.. then you have dickheads like soulja boy who rap over a fruity loops beat and mix/record their shit on a clock radio.. was it a hit? sure.. was it about the Art or the money? the fuck you think. Soula Boy has been famous for what? like 7 years now and he's still recording his shit on laptops and filming music videos in his backyard with a cellphone and shit.. clearly one cares about their craft, the other is just looking to make a quick buck.
I'm a white musician who spent a lot of time defending hip hop to other white people from the late 70s with Grandmaster Flash to Public Enemy and NWA in the early 90s. Of course, I was also into Metallica, Nirvana, reggae, punk, african, the whole deal. The problem is not just in hip hop music, it's in all music. The industry doesn't want another Chuck D, another Ice Cube, Easy E, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon. They don't want any more strong male rebels. They want suckers. They want victims. They want manufactured female whores. The don't want music to enlighten people. They want music to drag people down and make them docile. I really think this is what has been happening since about 2005 or so. That was the era of the last rock bands like System of a Down, and the era of Eminem. I don't want to be the old man and say no new people don't have talent. That's not possible. The problem is the industry is not helping people with talent get to the top. It's helping assholes get to the top instead. Beyonce and Rihanna are talented, but they don't spend enough time building other people up. Women can do music for women. Women have different agendas than men. There are hardly any truly strong rebellious talented men in music, of any race. There are literally almost no white male rock bands left. Why is that? There could be mixed race rock bands of course, but there are none. People could say that style of music is dead. Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters and Metallica are still around barely. Macklemore was OK, but at best a novelty act. He was as lasting as an ice cream cone. There's Ayron Jones and Tobin and they're great players, but they're not mainstream songwriters, at least not yet. Maybe the industry won't really help them. I just think that it's not a lack of passion. It is a matter of education though. I'm sorry, but samplers will not get you to great songwriting. Chuck D and NWA had the best producers and those guys were so deeply versed in music, they probably could play instruments, both Dr Dre and the Bomb Squad. Dre is one of the most expert sample runners and mixers in the world. Kids today don't even aspire to that. People are fucking lazy, but there is talent out there that is not, and yet, the industry doesn't look for them. They just look for the cute guy just like the cute girl and let them talk about how many people they're gonna fuck. It's ignorant bullshit, compared to something great like The Message and New York New York which started hip hop to some degree and which had amazing production and top flight blazing guitar also, because black people used to lead the world in instrumental competence during the funk and disco era and before. Schools have gotten rid of music programs. If you're broke, you can't get an instrument or instruction, period. BoneCrusher is right. Black people WERE inventive: CHarlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Dizzy Gillespie, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke and on and on and on. WHERE DID IT GO? It disappeared because people STOPPED LEARNING HOW TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS AND ALSO, the industry is HOSTILE TO REAL TALENT that has something to say, so be on point, and make it happen. Stay out of the cesspool of hip hop. I'm sorry, but it's been done. Your chances of bringing something new to it are truly limited, but I understand people go into it because it's the route to money supposedly, but look out for the sharks, and know that taking the short cuts just means you won't be remembered. Heavy metal and hard rock became kind of a trap also. They became a joke on some level. It's hard to be original and matter in music. Not an easy task, so don't take it lightly.
When he said it could be anybody it reminded me it already is. Countries all over the world from Europe to Asia, South America, Middle East all have their local rap stars, and it all sounds exactly like American rap. I don't know what the subject matter is, because I don't know the language, but I doubt it's anything at all like what we know as rap.
I Wouldn't Go That Far Who Just Telling Us What We Already Knew Rap Sucks Is The Worst Music Ever Worse Than Disco But Disco Died And Now It's Time For Rap To Rest In Peace Just Saying!
But it's even being streched past mumbling alone. Being a millennial I've even noticed firsthand that now new comers like Rae Sremmurd have also tapped into this "Dumbin down" with a slightly different variation of the same thing in "No type" etc. It's just another fad/ phase like Dubstep was..
Crusher on point with everything except for the fanbase. Too many people are hyping up the mumble rappers and demanding more; what's worse is that these rappers now will still get a lot of support from their city/region just cuz they come from there.
Then it becomes popular and everyone will copy it and just continue to dumb down the medium with just awful mumble rappers trying to race each other to go viral and they have bandwagon reactionary fans who defend or make excuses why these rappers can barely speak coherently.
he put together a complete body of work.. appealed to the masses and tackled the touchy subjects of today., great mess, great album, but...., I was torn on the fact that he beat kendrick out, maybe a lil biased since im from Compton.
I agree wholeheartedly to a certain degree, however, I think it is important to show individuality and creativeness when you make music. That is what originality is all about.
maybe we should lay blame on the record labels and radio stations who actually play and promote this nonsense... if the record labels signed more J.Cole's, K Dots, etc... more artists would strive to emulate that sound... but since what is 'proffered' by the record companies, and radio stations, is the garbage, mumbling, nonsensical 'rap', the up and coming artists feel that to be heard, they have to sound as such... money is being thrown at artists like Chief Keef ($4mil) Trinidad James ($2mil) etc.. there is no artist development anymore... the 'promo' game is pretty much dead... i agree with Bone Crusher, but I think the labels and stations are more to blame than anyone else...
We have lost out humanity in many ways as a people. The industry, “artist”, community, confused family members or ourselves don’t pay a price for disrespecting US or our people. That’s why when people stand next to the racist #45, they don’t fear loss of respect from us. You don’t stand for something you fall for anything. Imagine if we returned to real lyrics that made our queens and kings feel beautiful? Remember “Black is beautiful”?! I grew up seeing myself as just that!
It’s crazy because black people are without a doubt the best musicians humanity has to offer. Idk why but blacks have always run the game with music. The King (Elvis) got his start covering songs from black artists. You got Marvin Gaye…. End of discussion.
I’ve always thought black entertainment was overrated. Elvis got his start at the records studio in Memphis Tennessee after Sam Phillips offered him a contract.
Hiphop used to be punk, now its about showing how much money and women you consume. I loved it when hiphop music used to incorporate actual instruments. A drummer and a good bass player for instance.
"Hip-hop is a culture and entity that has always, in one way or another, been associated with violence"? WHAT?! Vladtv, did I hear that right? Who do you all have giving this interview? I could see the interviewer's statement as correct, but not in the context that is easily assumed he's using. One example of the violence associated with Hip-hop (as well as Hip-pop) would be the violence of systems of oppression. (
@@imadeyoureadthis1500 That's only partly true. You still had a lot of artists in the early 90's that rapped about partying. Once the gangster lifestyle was glorified, the labels started to push that, so you saw fewer conscious rappers and heard fewer party songs. That ultimately led to where we are today, which is in the toilet when it comes to hip hop.
I’m just now seeing this 8 years after it came out. He made some very salient points. To think about how the game has changed from 2015-2023 is quite a mixed bag of realizations. There are occasionally great artists making great projects, but increasingly it seems like our youth culture at large is directed by the stupidest, most homogenous sound.
In school when you wrote a paragraph it had to stay on topic or you had a failing grade 🤷♂️. For the life of me I'll never accept mumble rap, they remind me of the students you went to school with that were in remedial classes and you couldn't barely understand them and they barely passed or not at all.
I love and miss the gfunk, crunk and bounce style music back in the 90's and 2000's. Its sad how the music industry is not as good as it used to sound. :( . I love your music bonecrusher.
@@josephharden5592 i also love gospel rap too from the 90s and 2000s i love the sound and styles from those generations way more. I think thats the reason i love what love even though it wasnt really always full of positive messages.
Bottom Line the 80's and 90's was the greatest era for hip-hop. Every region from North, South, East and West had hot shit out. Everyone was creative, intelligent and there was something for everyone. Everyone from NYC was hot, Everyone from Cali was hot, and the few cats from the South was banging. The garbage out now these kids are listening to, is straight wack , repetitive, mindless garbage!
Bone had potential to be considered in the top forty but lots of it was wasted he was more talented overall then his partner Bizarre of the lyrical giants. He kills live performances and is "Never Scared". He is tough and has a resume to prove it and while comedic is also pretty realistic about many things.
Popular hip hop today is a reflection of what people are willing to buy, where it used to be a reflection of class struggle. Majority of people are cool with the commodification of music. The people also enjoy dumbed down music, to many it's more about optics than creative integrity. The consumer's obsessions have become the most reliable selling point.
Bone crushed is right. Hip hop is a culture. It's not just when you get on stage and rap. People has to be able to embrace themselves of the hip hop culture.
Dang. This is from 2014. Listening to this September 23rd 2023. Almost 10 years ago. And it sounds so on point. Cuz it is. What he said about a great invention is something someone didn’t know they needed , and now they can’t live without it. Imma come back to this vid again and again. I want to really start studying rap, I wanna start doing Christian rap one day soon.
I'm a music producer and i don't like hip-hop myself. This is why i stick to EDM where real music theory and sound engineering is involved. Hip-Hop has never really interested me. It's a genre filled with dudes who want easy preset chords with a click of a button, so they can talk over the repetitive beat. And mind you, the lyrics are so vapid and cringe that they make Brittany Spears sound like Mozart. Hip -Hop and Rap lacks substance and innovation. It should've died with the 90s. It's a stupid genre for a stupid audience.
I predicted this would happen 24 years ago when the big corporations began their plot to takeover the genre. In 1979 Rapper's Delight was a hit, but the big labels didn't want anything to do with Rap music. They said rap wouldn't last, but by 89' that mindset changed when they realized that they could make money off of Rap music. These corporation don't care about substance. All they care about is profit.

He's not a hypocrite, I can quote every word from" I AINT NEVER SCARED" because I was able to understand every word lol
He's right, 80 percent of rappers do mumble through lyrics and dumb down to the typical formula just to make a song. That's the era of music at the moment!

Nick Lee thank you, perfectly said.
Exactly man
He is completely right. If you don't understand, you are not Hiphop.

Well, now he is.
@Da Ze Kendrick is a conscious rapper. He's okay, he's creative but a lil boring.
Agreed 👏👏
Hip hop is stupid
I agree. It drives me crazy that my brother who is 13 years younger than me thinks juice world is a legend. Also thinks pac is overrated smh
I never expected Bone Crusher to be so eloquent! He's 100% right.
We go through phases in music but this current sound with the trap drill beats has been going on for over a decade now!
It's totally stagnant.
I thought the current mumble rap was in their Sugarhill Gang stage and was going to evolve like our Golden Age of the Old Kingdom? Oh well.
"These kids aren't revering anybody but themselves"
that statement alone makes the WHOLE interview.
I had a female tell me she was a rapper, and wanted to make it big. I made mention of Slick Rick to her. Mind you, this girl was in her mid-20s.
Her response:
"Who the fuck is Slick Rick?"
Lol. Really. Wow...u don't know, I guess he his point.
zlistcelebrity To be honest that statement is clearly taken out of context. And his analogy was kind of poor. He may like to follow the instructions on how to build the crib, but someone else may want to figure it out for themselves, test how sturdy it is, and retain the information that they learned rather than following a step by step process that doesn't require much effort.
If you're a genuine fan of hip hop there will ALWAYS be someone you like, mabye even admire and take from. But that doesn't really mean you need to learn from them, may not work for you.
Jutaisc2 I think he did veer off a little but what I got from it was that kids nowadays are not aware of the work that those before them had to put in. The bed analogy threw me off but I managed to pick up on what he was trying to say, and I don't think rappers should look to the past as instructions, but more as a reference point and only then put your own twist on things.
Lol wow!

I agree.
Rap music has definitely been extremely destructive and detrimental for/to the black community. That's obvious! The lack of respect for black people's lives in today's popular rap music is tantamount to a petition the black community promotes. It must be what they want to hear or else it wouldn't be a thing. You don't see many other "races of people" bobbing their heads to music that's destroying their own community. *You kinda have to just admit that it's like throwing grenades into a community center for money.* Ask yourself why does it make sense for that to be the thing to do when young black men get a platform primarily consisting of black people.
That’s why you see rappers from every part of the United States dying each day because of the stuff that they preach, it’s all violence. And the same people go “oh R.I.P. he didn’t deserve to die he was so talented” but people don’t want to see through it. This has got to stop, it’s getting ridiculous.
@Ringadingding your gen x comment ruined your whole point. Your generation raised this one. The boomers raised the millennials. You are directly responsible for this modern gen z. The 80s specifically ruined a lot of you. Pushing excess and self absorption on a whole other level. Why are all the gen x parents divorced? Why do all their kids act out for attention on the internet? Your generation was too busy worrying about yourselves to put real families together and actually raise your kids and now blame the kids for the consequences. And then you come on here and take pride in that
"You don't see many other races of people bobbing their heads to music that's destroying their own community." I guess Metal and Heavy Rock doesn't come to mind, huh? Lmfao.
@@TerellTheG9697 what community has metal destroyed? Please enlighten me.
Stop blaming the music idiot, they only rapping about the shit they doing, take away the music I can bet they be on the same shit
" How r u gonna win if u don't have the heart of the people?" Well said Bone.
And the answer is the industry no longer wants people who can motivate the hearts of the people. They want artists that are like Fantasy Island. Take your pill, zone out and don't learn anything.

It would be so nice if young black people began playing instruments again and making real music. Can you imagine a new Blues revolution? It would be fantastic!
This video had my like based on the title...
this dude prophesied lil yachty saying biggie is overrated
"Rap has gotten watered down" but when real music comes out yall don't support it. Use logic please.
OK. Humanity is watered down. :)
So true
One of the best interview I've see for VladTV
Gangsta rap is the most ridiculous thing ever created.
And the WORST thing ever created
Like metal? OK tipper
HE SAID IT.......THERE ISN'T ENOUGH OF RESPECT AND LACK OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF WHAT RAP MUSIC REALLY IS
He is giving some real wisdom at the end . Passion and relentless work ethic cannot be downloaded or just easily copied there is no competition for those who go the extra mile . We are witnessing devolution now where every year is 1984.
Trap music killing rap
TRAP MUSIC IS A CANCER TO THE ART OF RAP BUT ya u said the same thing lol
yep now its about the image
True, but sad cuz its still good for what its good for
What?. No.. Shitty rap is killing good trap music.. The beats are usually sick and dope. And the rappers push the garbaggggggge.
Ahhh. I see this is old AF. Haha
Well this title aged pretty well.
Maybe people should read it, hear it and think.
Man after watching this video I could listen to this man all day, agree with all his points and what a great delivery, you can hear the passion in his voice
Let me break this done for all ya'll right now listen up!
What's going on right now is this. These new school guys are making it off of little talent, and off the backs of what guys like Jay-Z, Snoop, Outkast, Nas, Dr. Dre, NWA, Good Mob, Scarface, Rakhim, Puffy / P. Diddy (Bad Boy Records), T.I, Ludacris. I can go on and on so if I missed a ton of people you get my point. The great people that built hip hop through the years.
The new school guys have no respect for hip hop as an art form because hip hop is already setup for them. The ground work has been laid, foundation set. All they gotta do now is dress the part, look the part, say a few rhyming words, and BLAM! They are making some money.
But the thing is though if mainstream stays like it is now, then that foundation that was built will start to crack, and cave in on itself. And Hip Hop will turn into some other kind of music. Like a mutation of itself, and hip hop will be gone. And the money will be gone too.
Like Bone Crusher said in another video, it's like your parents that worked hard to give you a good life, big house, big pool to swim in growing up. Now your not as hungry to really dig deep and do what you have to do to keep it going. You just wanna be lazy and live off of what they did, until you use up all the stuff they worked for. All the money is gone, the house they bought you sold it, now it's nothing left. That's what's going on in hip hop now days with these new guys.
Amen
I just now watched this. It's Oct-7-2024. Hip-hop is dead. I have listened to hip-hop since 81 and still love it. But music and the movie industry is going down the same path and it's sad. Creativity is gone.
Bone Crusher is correct about being creative with hip hop music or just music in general. That is the goal of a well rounded artist...FEED THE MIND intertwined with a soulful hypnotic melody. But nowadays from some rappers you get dumb down mumble music and consumers buy into it. The only time you can enjoy/truly understand that type of music is when your WASTED! There is a moment when your listening to a song and be like, "What the heck did he just say?!". Nah I'm good.
g shit!
Bone crusher is such an eloquent speaker. Every word he said was 100% true. I love it
I'm open minded but one thing I agree with 100 percent is that this generation of rap music is the reason why kids today are stupid.
this one of my favorite vladtv interviews
Update 2020: The situation has escalated.
Really loved his perspective on things and he definitely kept it real. He needs his own segment.
We went from Eric B and Rakim to Drake, wow. Eric B and Rakim didn't need to mumble because they were so creative. There were terms such as Style and Flavor.
Wack ass comment drake goated
These rappers have no excuses, look how original MF Doom is, and he may not be world famous but I garauntee he has plenty of money and he has talent for days
Big ups to Bone Crusher!!!
He has summed it up in today's hip hop culture.
Best vladtv interview. In terms of hearing the essentials to creating, inventing something of quality. And understanding that everything starts with something genuine as passion or as bone crusher says, "the heart of the people". Use the old as an anchor or a foundation, and from there you can reinvent or come with something new for your time and beyond. There will be a time where you'll be the anchor for someone else. its all about passing on great quality sounds and art. Or in a more general term, life is all about passing on. We aint forever, but music is.
Rap today is garbage ,poisoning, toxic ... and letting kids listen to that is like opening pandoras box..

Half of these songs created by these new junkie, drug addict rappers will not be remembered in a few years..
I miss bone crusher glad I grew up listen to his music back in the day and I'm not a huge hip hop fan but he's right
In the past, whenever I would hear people say, "I'm not a fan of hip hop," I would think, how Sway, how could you not be a fan of great verses over powerful, rhythmic beats? Now, I can't believe that I'm the one saying, I'm not a fan of hip hop, of today.
Wow, idk Crusher was thus articulate! Dropping straight knowledge!

As mentioning 2pac, Crusher should've also added Dr Dre and his creativity and craft and how HE is loved so much as well... due to his heart/love for the game.
Never would've thought that he had so much knowledge
I think it has a lot to do with how the industry presented him initially. Many of these artists are far more intelligent than how they're presented, and in some instances, they're far more talented/ CREATIVE than how they're showcased too.

Watching this in 2019 . . . Bone Crusher straight up predicted the future.
Bone is 100% right play it back and listen.
It’s sad cuz I feel somewhat responsible for the way hip hop is now. I was listening to Migos, waka, and drake as a teen back in the early 2010’s. I was worried, but I never really thought they would take over the game the way they did, straight up ruined the game smh.
A lot of people did the same thing. Don't be hard on yourself, I don't think anyone thought rap would be in the gutter the way it is now.
you're not that important, calm down.
Lol if you think those three are the problem? 😂😂😂😂😂 boy do I have some news for you there are people 1000 times worse lol
@@JohnFrance-ns5ve people said when migos first came out that it was nothing but ad-libs, and we were young and didn’t really pay attention to the lyrics or what people said about it, but now we’re paying for it. I’m not sayin the Migos were bad or anything, there’s just no substance to the music, it’s all surface level shit that’s the most popular now.
I was fucking with Drake as a teenager, but now that I’m a man, he just comes off like a bitch to me
Waka is self explanatory, we knew damn well that dude was just yelling random bullshit and we didn’t care smh 😂
@@JohnFrance-ns5ve like I would have never listened to waka if I knew that was going to influence ppl to listen to guys like NBA youngboy
He's right on all levels. People hear the artists now but they don't feel them cause they have no substance. We are in an era of black vanilla ices
The real issue in hip hop today is the influx of rappers who do it for the money vs artist who do it for the music. It's very apparent who is about the art and who is about the money, there are literally hundreds of stories from various rappers about how when they work with Dr. Dre he makes them rap a line a thousand times over and over until they get it right. That's the kind of dedication and care that goes into Art.. then you have dickheads like soulja boy who rap over a fruity loops beat and mix/record their shit on a clock radio.. was it a hit? sure.. was it about the Art or the money? the fuck you think. Soula Boy has been famous for what? like 7 years now and he's still recording his shit on laptops and filming music videos in his backyard with a cellphone and shit.. clearly one cares about their craft, the other is just looking to make a quick buck.

💯
Same thought Spread It arooouuunnnddddd !!
I'm a white musician who spent a lot of time defending hip hop to other white people from the late 70s with Grandmaster Flash to Public Enemy and NWA in the early 90s. Of course, I was also into Metallica, Nirvana, reggae, punk, african, the whole deal. The problem is not just in hip hop music, it's in all music. The industry doesn't want another Chuck D, another Ice Cube, Easy E, Kurt Cobain, John Lennon. They don't want any more strong male rebels. They want suckers. They want victims. They want manufactured female whores. The don't want music to enlighten people. They want music to drag people down and make them docile. I really think this is what has been happening since about 2005 or so. That was the era of the last rock bands like System of a Down, and the era of Eminem.
I don't want to be the old man and say no new people don't have talent. That's not possible. The problem is the industry is not helping people with talent get to the top. It's helping assholes get to the top instead. Beyonce and Rihanna are talented, but they don't spend enough time building other people up. Women can do music for women. Women have different agendas than men. There are hardly any truly strong rebellious talented men in music, of any race. There are literally almost no white male rock bands left. Why is that? There could be mixed race rock bands of course, but there are none. People could say that style of music is dead. Dave Grohl, Foo Fighters and Metallica are still around barely. Macklemore was OK, but at best a novelty act. He was as lasting as an ice cream cone. There's Ayron Jones and Tobin and they're great players, but they're not mainstream songwriters, at least not yet. Maybe the industry won't really help them.
I just think that it's not a lack of passion. It is a matter of education though. I'm sorry, but samplers will not get you to great songwriting. Chuck D and NWA had the best producers and those guys were so deeply versed in music, they probably could play instruments, both Dr Dre and the Bomb Squad. Dre is one of the most expert sample runners and mixers in the world. Kids today don't even aspire to that. People are fucking lazy, but there is talent out there that is not, and yet, the industry doesn't look for them. They just look for the cute guy just like the cute girl and let them talk about how many people they're gonna fuck. It's ignorant bullshit, compared to something great like The Message and New York New York which started hip hop to some degree and which had amazing production and top flight blazing guitar also, because black people used to lead the world in instrumental competence during the funk and disco era and before. Schools have gotten rid of music programs. If you're broke, you can't get an instrument or instruction, period.
BoneCrusher is right. Black people WERE inventive: CHarlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Dizzy Gillespie, James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley, Chuck Berry, Sam Cooke and on and on and on. WHERE DID IT GO? It disappeared because people STOPPED LEARNING HOW TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS AND ALSO, the industry is HOSTILE TO REAL TALENT that has something to say, so be on point, and make it happen. Stay out of the cesspool of hip hop. I'm sorry, but it's been done. Your chances of bringing something new to it are truly limited, but I understand people go into it because it's the route to money supposedly, but look out for the sharks, and know that taking the short cuts just means you won't be remembered.
Heavy metal and hard rock became kind of a trap also. They became a joke on some level. It's hard to be original and matter in music. Not an easy task, so don't take it lightly.
When he said it could be anybody it reminded me it already is. Countries all over the world from Europe to Asia, South America, Middle East all have their local rap stars, and it all sounds exactly like American rap. I don't know what the subject matter is, because I don't know the language, but I doubt it's anything at all like what we know as rap.
Respect, this guy is smart

But it's even being streched past mumbling alone. Being a millennial I've even noticed firsthand that now new comers like Rae Sremmurd have also tapped into this "Dumbin down" with a slightly different variation of the same thing in "No type" etc.
It's just another fad/ phase like Dubstep was..
Crusher on point with everything except for the fanbase. Too many people are hyping up the mumble rappers and demanding more; what's worse is that these rappers now will still get a lot of support from their city/region just cuz they come from there.
Then it becomes popular and everyone will copy it and just continue to dumb down the medium with just awful mumble rappers trying to race each other to go viral and they have bandwagon reactionary fans who defend or make excuses why these rappers can barely speak coherently.

what have maclklemore done that is great?

100% facts!!! Of course the youngins and the ignorant will disagree and bring up the fact that he's considered a one hit wonder.
I agree wholeheartedly to a certain degree, however, I think it is important to show individuality and creativeness when you make music. That is what originality is all about.
I am so thankful for this video
maybe we should lay blame on the record labels and radio stations who actually play and promote this nonsense... if the record labels signed more J.Cole's, K Dots, etc... more artists would strive to emulate that sound... but since what is 'proffered' by the record companies, and radio stations, is the garbage, mumbling, nonsensical 'rap', the up and coming artists feel that to be heard, they have to sound as such... money is being thrown at artists like Chief Keef ($4mil) Trinidad James ($2mil) etc.. there is no artist development anymore... the 'promo' game is pretty much dead... i agree with Bone Crusher, but I think the labels and stations are more to blame than anyone else...
I say this all the time...sombody has to agree ..pay and promote these mofo....
We have lost out humanity in many ways as a people. The industry, “artist”, community, confused family members or ourselves don’t pay a price for disrespecting US or our people. That’s why when people stand next to the racist #45, they don’t fear loss of respect from us. You don’t stand for something you fall for anything. Imagine if we returned to real lyrics that made our queens and kings feel beautiful? Remember “Black is beautiful”?! I grew up seeing myself as just that!
I've always found Bone Crusher to be such the wordsmith. His highly intellectual lyrics surpass the works of Shakespeare at times.
BS
It’s crazy because black people are without a doubt the best musicians humanity has to offer. Idk why but blacks have always run the game with music. The King (Elvis) got his start covering songs from black artists. You got Marvin Gaye…. End of discussion.
I’ve always thought black entertainment was overrated. Elvis got his start at the records studio in Memphis Tennessee after Sam Phillips offered him a contract.

Hiphop used to be punk, now its about showing how much money and women you consume.
I loved it when hiphop music used to incorporate actual instruments. A drummer and a good bass player for instance.
It's even worse now
"Hip-hop is a culture and entity that has always, in one way or another, been associated with violence"?
WHAT?!
Vladtv, did I hear that right? Who do you all have giving this interview?
I could see the interviewer's statement as correct, but not in the context that is easily assumed he's using.
One example of the violence associated with Hip-hop (as well as Hip-pop) would be the violence of systems of oppression. (
@@imadeyoureadthis1500 That's only partly true. You still had a lot of artists in the early 90's that rapped about partying. Once the gangster lifestyle was glorified, the labels started to push that, so you saw fewer conscious rappers and heard fewer party songs. That ultimately led to where we are today, which is in the toilet when it comes to hip hop.

Rap was not just a form of violence it was based upon a movement. It is political and revolutionary movement.

To think about how the game has changed from 2015-2023 is quite a mixed bag of realizations. There are occasionally great artists making great projects, but increasingly it seems like our youth culture at large is directed by the stupidest, most homogenous sound.
In school when you wrote a paragraph it had to stay on topic or you had a failing grade 🤷♂️. For the life of me I'll never accept mumble rap, they remind me of the students you went to school with that were in remedial classes and you couldn't barely understand them and they barely passed or not at all.

Bottom Line the 80's and 90's was the greatest era for hip-hop. Every region from North, South, East and West had hot shit out. Everyone was creative, intelligent and there was something for everyone. Everyone from NYC was hot, Everyone from Cali was hot, and the few cats from the South was banging. The garbage out now these kids are listening to, is straight wack , repetitive, mindless garbage!
Bone had potential to be considered in the top forty but lots of it was wasted he was more talented overall then his partner Bizarre of the lyrical giants. He kills live performances and is "Never Scared". He is tough and has a resume to prove it and while comedic is also pretty realistic about many things.
Popular hip hop today is a reflection of what people are willing to buy, where it used to be a reflection of class struggle. Majority of people are cool with the commodification of music. The people also enjoy dumbed down music, to many it's more about optics than creative integrity. The consumer's obsessions have become the most reliable selling point.
It's unfair how rock was able to move on from the hedonistic and self destructive behaviors in the 90s but hip hop got worse overtime
Yep... we're here now

Bone crushed is right. Hip hop is a culture. It's not just when you get on stage and rap. People has to be able to embrace themselves of the hip hop culture.

Damnn this was 2014 and now it’s wayyyyy worse.
I'm a music producer and i don't like hip-hop myself. This is why i stick to EDM where real music theory and sound engineering is involved. Hip-Hop has never really interested me. It's a genre filled with dudes who want easy preset chords with a click of a button, so they can talk over the repetitive beat. And mind you, the lyrics are so vapid and cringe that they make Brittany Spears sound like Mozart. Hip -Hop and Rap lacks substance and innovation. It should've died with the 90s. It's a stupid genre for a stupid audience.
Bone Crusher is telling the truth...on this episode that is, lol!!
I predicted this would happen 24 years ago when the big corporations began their plot to takeover the genre. In 1979 Rapper's Delight was a hit, but the big labels didn't want anything to do with Rap music. They said rap wouldn't last, but by 89' that mindset changed when they realized that they could make money off of Rap music. These corporation don't care about substance. All they care about is profit.
