      Crazy the shit people call hip hop these days. The youth are eating the shit up though, so the industry is pretty fucked now.

    • @studiov6612
      @studiov6612 7 лет назад +6

      the industry was wrapped up and poisoned when the legends biggie and pac were snuffed out. That took another 5 - 10 years to filter down into all the music, until what we're left with today

      Studio V6 pun carried the tradition Jay as well.its all about support.thats how all that southern -crunk- and all that other bullshit poisoned our ears.while we sat around debating who runs N.Y. the rest of the world was supporting their "local artists"

    "Crazy frustration about my lovin situation, when patience was a virtue but I wasn't used to waitin" The Roots is one of the best things that ever happened to hip-hop. They never changed and continue to hold down Philly. I just love the East Coast style, videos and how we used to rock our clothes back in the day. I still rock it like that now

    Definition of a Classic:
    1. You immediately are taken straight back to the vibe you was feeling the first time you heard a joint.
    2. It has relevance now just as much as it did when it first dropped.
    3. New listeners are put back by it e.g. "Whoa! Who is that?"

    So damn good. I like the old Roots, the new Roots and the in-between Roots but I think you could make a very strong argument that they produced the best music of the hip-hop genre during the first part of their catalog. From about 1993-1999 this group showcased a level of creativity, intelligence and musical craftsmanship that I can't recall seeing anywhere else in rap history. Legendary.

    When you give people or musician's they flowers while they are here you are letting them know how much you love them how much they've influenced you how much they've inspired you etc. And the list goes on. The riots crew is definitely in that category of giving them flowers while they are still here, but I did here we lost one of ours from the roots may god rest his soul. The roots crew will definitely go down in the history books of the 20th and 21st century
