on another topic entirely,
why do yuo guys think that people get so upset when today's rappers (aged 17-25 or so) do not acknowledge some sort of supposed debt to fat fuck smalls or 2pacs? Those dudes died before these kids were even born. Why expect them to give a flying fuck about that old shit? (not that I see it that way, but a teen, young adult usually does not have the experience or mindset to appreciate much beyond their own experience. That takes time and effort and someone to share the old stuff.
When I was in my formative rock fanatiscism (age 12-19, 1982-1992) I did not see the value in the (to me) old shit that I was supposed to praise and worship from the 60's/70's. at that age you like what you like, and you do not think that old influences matter.
I am all for that shit. kill yr idols and all. Hip Hop from the 90's has very little relevance to any young kid in the game today.
The same shit used to happen in the 90-'s when rappers did not praise the supposed masters like Rakim, Slick Rick, or RUN DMC.
It just strikes me as odd that people get worked up. Love what you love, but do not expect or demand that someone with a different life and different experience love what you deem important!
