A big point I feel needs to be addressed is that the “party” isn’t just the music. Kendrick, Lecrae, and Dee-1 are also calling out the PEOPLE in the industry, their character, and how it has impacted the industry and listeners.
I love the Dee1 and Lecrae response! Both of those songs should be on the radio. That’s exactly the problem. Give us balance instead of just Sexy Red trash 🙄
Give us? We don't have to listen to the radio. Streaming has destroyed that cycle. I only listen to streaming and old school r&b radio. This new music is poison and BC is guilty and complicit by association
It’s true djs just always wanted to be the first one who play a song before it hit Now they only play what already hits We need to watch that party die too😂
Artists used to go out their way to get their music played by a radio dj. That is how a lot of artists got to be so big. Shaggy is a good example. His career was built from one dj playing his music. I don’t know when the idea became you have to be big to be played on radio. Was a time when people called and requested songs or the dj liked something and played it on air or in the club.
I remember a interview when kendrick said he can make a album full of hits but he’s not trying to do that. He creating art. Then dropped DAMN a album full of hits to prove his point.
I remember Kendrick Lamar was the only one who gave God the Glory at BET awards show in 2013. He was one of the last award winners, and he said, "Glory to God, y'all believe in God, right?" and shamed the room. That's when Kendrick Lamar gained my respect because up to that point, not 1 of the previous winners mentioned God. I will never forget that. It takes a real person to check the whole crowd, that's when I knew Kendrick was cut from the cloth.

It's literally light vs. Dark. It's easy to be dark. It takes more effort to be light just like working out, eating healthy, being the bigger person...alll that takes effort. The music that is poppin now is easy and it glorifies everything that can harm you. Thats a issue. Then you have people argue to stay in a low vibrating place. It's really sad.

Been listening to Lecrae and Dee1 since last 10 years. Lecrae bought a major shift (hope) to hip hop(hope) Dee1 been grinding and super consistent. I remember he said watch me in next 10years in sway in the morning show. So proud of them!
I go further back in hip hop and we're talking grandmaster flash and the furious 5,treacherous 3,funky 4 plus 1,Afrika Bambotta and the Zulu nation,Eric B and Rakim......in other words, golden age of hip hop....it's needs to get back to the basics where music had a meaning to it and not overly sexualize
Whats so different with kendrick music is that you know the words never just mean what he says....is like a puzzle we have to complete by putting the pieces together because you want to understand the whole thing. It teuly is genius the way he does it
Lecrae has been my favorite rapper since ‘08. HE GETS BUSY‼️‼️ He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but his talent is UNDENIABLE!! Tht’s why he is so well known in the industry. They know!
As someone who grew up listening to Lecrae, Trip Lee, Truth, Flame, etc. I love that these artists are getting some recognition. Gospel hip hop has always been it!
THIS ALONE - 1:03 speaks to loren being young and inexperienced in life in general - a NARROW world view and perspective shows that - was never a huge fan of Jess but she’s mature and brings a balance which Is Needed!!
We've had a glimpse of Jess's perspective on this topic during the heat of the Drake/Kendrick saga. It's not that far off from what Loren expressed here.
Or hear me out. There's already two older people who can speak on that side and that point of life. Let her speak her truth while they speak theirs. Music in general is usually a young man's game. Let the young people speak their mind as well
Like the last caller said. Its generations changing and its the programming. Radio is playing what they want people to hear which when in rotation it becomes "catchy"
Kendrick and Nas need to organize and drop a new 2024 “Self Destruction/We all in the Same Game!” Promoting Peace in the community, Unity and Empowerment! 🙏🏽❤️💪🏽✌🏽
Conscious music is very relatable and holds longevity for me lit music is easily forgotten about a lot of these mainstream artists music lack substance... I wouldn't wanna hear it ten years from now🤷🏽♀️
When Kendrick was giving an award speech he said he always wanted to be the biggest underground artist there ever was and now it’s starting to make since why he said that and what he wants his legacy to be
Do I like the ratchet shit, yes not all the time When I do listen to rap, I listen to artist who have some kind of balance. And majority of time I'm listen to afro beats and r&b
Problem is DJs don't have the POWER to just play anything. Them program directors know which records get spins and the heat check all of them joints to make sure the agenda will be pushed. DJ esp ones on thr prime slot play the program radio joints. Going off script could get you fired. All them ad slots and companies ain't pay for you to spin some real hip hop joints for masses. That's why DJs be afraid 😨 to take risks. If a handful just played whatever in the prime slots you'll see a shift but that probably won't happen unless they unify. Can't just be a one off situation then back to regular schedule programming.
@@dn30001 of course it's a business. Real hiphop is dope but does it make money 💰 for the corporations??? Kanye put out Jesus walks 🚶♂️, it blew up, we got a whole era off new blog era/conscious MCs (Lupe, kendrick, cole, cool kids, chance the rapper, etc) . I like kendrick but idk if he got enough of a movement to really shift the game. Maybe PGlang can be that for the near future, but it takes more then a few MCs. Got to be collection like how Ye did indirectly.
@jman1562001 lets be clear..the MAIN objective to "the business" is to destabilize any type of balance first and foremost. So much money is being put INTO portaying black degenerative behavior in the music as opposed to pulling money OUT of it. This is why your mention of Jesus Walks is a great point of how that subgenre can generate money....but they purposely avoid those type of records.
"Radio programming" Envy acting like he isn't part of the problem lol But salute to Dee-1 I remember he was performing at Southern University back when I was there in like 2007 with the same message. Glad his platform is growing.
Lauren speak like a kid you can tell she's very childish and gots to grow. I think everyone don't deserve a voice atleast until they are mature enough to speak!! Thats our problem with the culture to many grown ups with kid mind frames...
WOW so well said, I been thinking you look at all the fighting about who's going to the Superbowl,, and they're calling Wayne a legend,now the generation that grew up with Wayne is in there 30',d and 40,s we're talking adults with children and he is what our people call a legend even if it is music his contribution to the culture was and still is DRUG,,, MURDER,,SEX,, DRINKING LEAN,, AND DISRESPECTING WOMEN,, AND WENT ON NATIONAL TV AND SAID HE'S A GANG MEMBER AND HE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO RECOGNITION OF THE SO BLACK PEOPLE'S PLIGHT , and they are fighting each other for him to represent us at the SB .. frankly it's so sad that so many of us just don't seem to understand that Evil Communication Corrupts good manners. And for me the differents between Wayne and Kendrick is,,, Kendrick grew up..
She’s childish asf. Envy called her out for what she wants out of music so well.. and so did CTG by saying we can’t “cater to one crowd” and “Constantine playing low vibrational music”. Conscious music have never been a balanced in the normal grouping to Rap like “Trap Music” & “Gangsta Rap”. So why yall tripping on those two brothaz that finally getting shine..?
Lauren: "In a party, I don't wanna think about the trials and tribulations of the world. I wanna have a good time" Kendrick: "I think it's time for me to watch the party *DIE!* "
One of the Few times I agree with CTG... There needs to be balance like there used to be it's like for the past 15years it's drifted more into what's viral and popular.
The problem is no conscious mainstream rap artist, except one or two I can readily think of has found balance between having a meaningful message while creating effortlessly listenable music. It’s almost like every lane of hip hop/hip hop artist has evolved except the conscious artist. Some people don’t want to think ultra deep while dissecting bars, others do. Some people need to feel something to trigger thoughts. A lot of conscious rap artist are strictly mental with no soul and it come off as preachy or pretentious. Some artist truly have elevated to a higher level of consciousness in real life and most listeners just can’t relate. That’s ultimately key to the balance, they have to make it relatable, realize who the audience is and make it sound good. If there’s no balance then it’s ultimately fallen in deaf ears excluding the people that solely prefer that style. Kendrick more times than few makes music that true is artistic, but doesn’t reach and hit home the way Pac did back in the day where it truly reached the community and no one disputed it or him. You don’t feel a lot of what Kendrick is saying, his thoughts are expressed very well and creatively but a lot of it is something I hear a lot of people say they don’t like how it sounds or it’s all the same at this point. Imagine ’Not Like Us’ but he was saying conscious things. It’s not like he’s been doing the old Kanye ‘All Falls Down’ or ‘Jesus Walks’ type conscious but successful records that majority of people like. His balance is off and I don’t think he really wants his messages delivered to who needs to hear it, so it’s coded. I currently think J Cole is the best overall conscious mainstream pure hip hop artist that’s out. You get what you need from him but also what you want. He has commercial songs that are of more conscious or self aware content while also building majority of his albums around the same and even more detailed consciousness, you relate to how he delivers his thoughts and because of that you feel it more to me imo, it may not be as deep or artistic but I think that’s what makes his delivery near perfect. It’s artist enough where you relive his talent and skill, it’s sounds good so it has replay value which I think gets the content across to more people repeatedly. Some other notable ones were mentioned like Wale, Big Sean, another was ‘College Dropout’ Kanye, Lupe, Common even to some degree with ‘I used to Love HER’, ‘The Light’, ‘The Corner’ and ‘The Food’. It’s more enjoyable to listen to while receiving a message.
If we take it back to mid 90s (93-96) i say Hip Hop was at its most balanced radio wise or commercially cuz at that time you have Tribe, Pac, Snoop, Cube, Dre,, Nas, Biggie, Wu Tang, Fugees, De La, Redman, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Outkast, LL, Da Brat, Lil Kim, Foxy, Salt N Pepa, Jay, Scarface, E-40, Common etc. All successful platinum or gold all aharing the same space all different styles and that was just the radio then now its all one sided so it makes all Hip Hop look one way when its not but there not pushing the options
Two of my favorite Kendrick songs are “Faith” and “Real.” In my opinion, Real has been Kendrick’s best song because he got his parents on it and creativity that went into. I stopped listening to the radio because of what became popular
Char you r absolutely correct❣ The Essence of Us as Spiritual(1st) & carnal(2nd) Beings internally yearn for a Holistic Balance of Life & n every aspect of our lives we choose2 experience. Only an immature/Unaware human would say they dont seek Balance n Life🙏🏽
A big point I feel needs to be addressed is that the “party” isn’t just the music. Kendrick, Lecrae, and Dee-1 are also calling out the PEOPLE in the industry, their character, and how it has impacted the industry and listeners.
I love the Dee1 and Lecrae response! Both of those songs should be on the radio. That’s exactly the problem. Give us balance instead of just Sexy Red trash 🙄

Kendrick more times than few makes music that true is artistic, but doesn’t reach and hit home the way Pac did back in the day where it truly reached the community and no one disputed it or him. You don’t feel a lot of what Kendrick is saying, his thoughts are expressed very well and creatively but a lot of it is something I hear a lot of people say they don’t like how it sounds or it’s all the same at this point. Imagine ’Not Like Us’ but he was saying conscious things. It’s not like he’s been doing the old Kanye ‘All Falls Down’ or ‘Jesus Walks’ type conscious but successful records that majority of people like. His balance is off and I don’t think he really wants his messages delivered to who needs to hear it, so it’s coded. I currently think J Cole is the best overall conscious mainstream pure hip hop artist that’s out. You get what you need from him but also what you want. He has commercial songs that are of more conscious or self aware content while also building majority of his albums around the same and even more detailed consciousness, you relate to how he delivers his thoughts and because of that you feel it more to me imo, it may not be as deep or artistic but I think that’s what makes his delivery near perfect. It’s artist enough where you relive his talent and skill, it’s sounds good so it has replay value which I think gets the content across to more people repeatedly. Some other notable ones were mentioned like Wale, Big Sean, another was ‘College Dropout’ Kanye, Lupe, Common even to some degree with ‘I used to Love HER’, ‘The Light’, ‘The Corner’ and ‘The Food’. It’s more enjoyable to listen to while receiving a message.

Love that Lecrae and Dee-1 responded! It's creating discussion like this. Hip Hop fans want balance.
It's starts with the record labels and the radio stations
If we take it back to mid 90s (93-96) i say Hip Hop was at its most balanced radio wise or commercially cuz at that time you have Tribe, Pac, Snoop, Cube, Dre,, Nas, Biggie, Wu Tang, Fugees, De La, Redman, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Outkast, LL, Da Brat, Lil Kim, Foxy, Salt N Pepa, Jay, Scarface, E-40, Common etc. All successful platinum or gold all aharing the same space all different styles and that was just the radio then now its all one sided so it makes all Hip Hop look one way when its not but there not pushing the options
Shout out to Dee-1 & Lecrea💪🏾🔥🔥 From Dat 504

HIM
@@yaboy1414 H.ater I.nconstistent M.idget? Yup that’s him alright
I DEFINITELY WANT THIS BALANCE
Two of my favorite Kendrick songs are “Faith” and “Real.” In my opinion, Real has been Kendrick’s best song because he got his parents on it and creativity that went into. I stopped listening to the radio because of what became popular
“They’ll listen to it if we play it” EXACTLY.
Char you r absolutely correct❣ The Essence of Us as Spiritual(1st) & carnal(2nd) Beings internally yearn for a Holistic Balance of Life & n every aspect of our lives we choose2 experience. Only an immature/Unaware human would say they dont seek Balance n Life🙏🏽
That first caller's response was on point!
I'm people and I want balance, I want the party music in a setting but I want positive music also, I don't want to hear murda and heaux music
