Bottom line is that many of the modern artists do not have thorough knowledge of the past, the original fundamental elements, or the principles. They want to take Hip Hop to "another level," but they don't even study where it came from. I'm not saying that there are written rules like the ten commandments that everyone had to learn, but there were understood unwritten codes that they followed such as: - Being original. - Don't bite someone's rhymes or style. - Being true to yourself. - Understand that with your gift/talent comes a level of responsibility. It's not about you, it's ultimately about the people who listen to you because you influence them (whether you want to or not). - And above all, MASTERING those fundamental elements. Emceeing is a skilled to be mastered -- not mumbled. Hip Hop seems to be the only genre in which the elders are repudiated because they're "yesterday's news." And when the elders offer a critique, even if it's valid, they're automatically stigmatized as "haters" who are mad because they're no longer relevant. Hip Hop seems to have no direction anymore. Somebody needs to bring sanity and balance back to the equation. This is why we need the elders around -- we can't just leave Hip Hop in the hands of people who don't know.

I agree with all of that and I'll assume most hip hop heads will agree aswell. However, that does not change the fact that the new generation of fans, artists, music execs support the hip hop music being released now. Hip hop heads could complain from dusk to dawn about how trash it is, but their opinions do not matter in grand scheme of things. The opinions of a Lord Jamar, Special Ed, Rah Digga don't matter to the younger generation who don't appreciate the elements. Rakim could come out today and call them dumpster juice yet they won't care. They might lose some 'haters' but that's not affecting them long term. Hip hop music is simply no longer in control by the people who care about the "elements".

I don't think they care about that though. Some of the headliners today are already viewed as greater entertainers than original hip hoppers of the past. It's not about rappers being ignorant to the golden history of hip hop, that isn't relevant in 2021. It's more about the music being diluted by being completely monetized. Hip hop was always going to be commercialized but the music used to work *around* the commercialization. Now the artist, the music, the talent, is freely embracing commercialization from the jump with the intents of cashing out or blowing up quick. The priority of hip hop's gatekeepers have simply changed.

Stay OUT of the INdustry. That's my take. I don't like the that White music artists can sue us, the children of the originators of soul, jazz and popular music. Our ancestors and elders gave these vultures a way out of poverty and obscurity yet, here they come to clean us out when the youth sample their music, which has made many of them relevant, gave them a second career even. The irony. We have to create an alternative to their industry. You can't sue a DJ/Rapper for using/sampling an artist's material at a party/live jam if he isn't connected to the revenue stream of an organized industry. Bring Hip Hop music back to the underground and keep it there.

It's an important part of the song, and it wouldn't be the same without the Prince sample. Their first album was released in 1992. Prince's first album was released in 1978. Yes, the new artist must pay, even for one word if it's not theirs.

Great discussion... When these classic artists came out in the mid 80’s to early 90’s (golden era); the styles of rhyming/DJ’ing grew exponentially. The artist was directly connected to culture which was connected to their respective communities. The corporate entity (record industry) hadn’t embraced Hip-Hop music let alone taken control yet. Once the ‘industry’ figured out it could make money off Hip-Hop culture; they came up with a formula to make rap music under the disguise of Hip-Hop music. And it all went downhill from there. The culture is alive & well... We simply can’t allow corporations to dictate our culture to us.

Also, the "new styles" of rap doesnt seem ANY different that scatting in the 1920s. And they weren't saying anything SUPER prolific when they were scatting. It was the FEELING of the music.

Everything changes doesn’t mean it changes for the better. Without core principles in anything it falls apart. No matter what it is. Whether music or anything we do in life. Things evolved at a faster pace back then because hip hop was still new and learning new things. The simple idea of being original is lost amongst people nowadays. And to keep it 💯. It’s so easy to just record some shit these days that half of these cats honestly have ZERO care for hip hop whatsoever. All you gotta do is talk to some of them. I’m not saying all. But a lot of these cats don’t belong in a booth and that’s ok. Everything ain’t for everybody. We just got into this mode where we can’t tell someone to “work on this” or “work on that” or “this ain’t really ya lane” without being called a hater. It would save a lot of time. Whatever people wanna do on a professional level there is a certain respect for the art of that craft that they need to have. Hip Hop is at a place where that respect is not needed and I think it’s the only genre of music right now that carries itself like that. Which sucks because Hip Hop is brilliant.

The main difference is that today hip hop lost it roots to the music before. 90's hip hop was connected to the music before it via sampled beats.

Today that is not the case.

Everything changes every 10 years. Hip hop, fashion, cars, speech lingo, etc. You had your 70's sound of hip hop, 80's sound, 90's, 2000's sound, etc. And in 2030, it will be another sound of hip hop.

Good evening, ex-husband.😍 Anyway, yo' first, second and third albums, Ed, are always playing in my home. You _cain't_ lose w/ them. I really wished that _Revelations_ would've seen the light of day. I agree w/ Unc. Ed, you had yo' own lil' thing goin' on. You stood tall and self-assured. Now, the drastic change in hip-hop is a corporate decision. For some odd reason, the powers that be have decided that black folks are more nonthreatening and entertaining if they're mumbling and talking about illicit drxg abxse and su¡c¡de on record. There's a reason why this isn't allowed in the K-Pop music market. And the country music market...fat chance. Hip-hop culture should be cherished through and through since it's the most bankable art form in "music." It's a trash can. *ANYBODY* can do it. Now I understand why you East Coast brothas were so doggon protective over the culture. I get it, I get it, I get it! It wouldn't surprise me if some of y'all foresaw what was to come. Big L sure did (bless his soul)... Anyway, why does showing us in a negative disposition ring so many bells? I know it's "Y'all done had y'all turn" and "Let the younger generation do what they wanna do," but DAMN! Where do you draw the line? It's bad, family. I'm very displeased w/ the direction that my culture has gone in. It's *NEVER* been this bad. Men aren't men anymore. Our young Kings are lean and dxpe f¡ends. Our young Queens are _skrippers_ and h0es. They'll do anything for clout and coins. I _skraddle_ the fence because I wanna see this generation be proud and high-minded, but on the other side, I know how difficult it is for somebody just tryna live they dreams and make a dollar. I know it's not cute to _skraddle_ the fence, but I _cain't_ help it.

Baseball has changed since the 1919s But they're still nine players in the Outfield And you still got to run around the bases Etc etc... the same should apply for hip hop It evolves but the rules stay the same

Finally some people talking some truth about sampling. Rah was speaking facts. How long have y’t people been stealing music from us? We don’t get compensated. Sampling ain’t your ish. You didn’t spin it like this
