Too Short Longest Rapp Career in history. Still dropping albums today. Salute Todd.

[@marvin7533]

Ice T probably has the longest active rap career, and he dropped his last album in 2020. Then you got Public Enemy. Their last studio album drop was also in 2020. Then there's the GOAT himself KRS-ONE. His last studio album was last year, and he has something cooking up now. As for most albums in history, Kool Keith takes that crown hands down.

[@djjamar]

@@marvin7533 no its too short still dropping albums since 82-2023 beyond. Ice T does movies stop rapping decades ago. Lol

[@KKemp-bt6nl]

Gotta love Short. He is always able to bring that no nonsense, valid point to the conversation. On another note, in 1990 I was in the military with a homie from Oakland. I told him I wanna get stationed there. He flat out told me Kemp, you aint ready for Oakland. This is the third time I have heard how wild it was out there back then, so I appreciate more confirmation on the matter. LOL

[@dhouse6629]

Born in 77, plugged by 87..88. My Hip Hop is some East coast but mostly west! I’m from Utah and my cousin from Michigan came in with a mixtape. Back then that was an actual Memorex that had a variety of artists on it. Sir Mix-A-Lot was on there but the Boogie Boys was on there also. I gravitated more towards my region but still enjoyed the sounds form the east. UTFO put out one of my favorite albums to this day “ lethal” but the west was calling!! I want to thank all the Bay Area rappers, LA rappers, Washington state, Down south, Long Beach everyone involved with bringing generations of memories to my life!!! The East is the root but the 50 year anniversary missed a lot of very important figures from that tree….to me😁. The broad-spectrum of the game is what makes it so appealing! One mic, one Love and hopefully one day peace!!

Honestly I think hip hop started in 1967 birth from the likes of James Brown who embodied elements of hip hop .Pig meat Markham who dropped here comes the judge the first rap album. Then Cornbread out in Philadelphia with the graffiti then Cool Herc backed doored them in 73.Got to go back to the roots baby.

[@cle-chi]

nice comment

[@ujimajame4601]

It is hard to say when the first Rap was. White people will point to the 1930 ad "Send For Our Free Booklet"kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6rFeZxmpcR5p5Isi=hH__Y7aE-4xT782v and Lou Costello (of Abbott and Costello)'s"Corporal Brown" in the movie 1941 "Buck Privates" but White Entertainers in that era were known to go to the Cotton Club, the Apollo and other venues and steal from what they observed Black performers doing. In that same era, the doo wop gospel group The Jubalaires rapped in the song 'Noah' around that same time kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprNYYWZjJt5iqMsi=REjanXsRv2zw5V4z. In the '60's and '70's, Muhammad Ali used to do short raps before his fights: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gnfMla2harKKracsi=mhi2WGIDG7711m_W and even The Temptations joined George Kirby and Kaye Stevens on a rap on their TV Special from 1968: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWjHqql9qKishKcsi=k1r4DSKNWwnB2q5Z&t=47. However, most early rappers point to The Last Poets, who started in 1969, as laying the foundation for hip hop with songs like "E Pluribus Unum" (1972): kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4eXdauDfNGKnrcsi=Pfbl3dPe8rWZUMKG and Jalaluddin' (aka "Lighnin' Rod")s solo project "Hustler's Convention" (1973): kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKrWe6x3qbmErpIsi=LqQSOlmHSSaWvqIA while radio griot Gary Byrd (who would later collaborate on "Black Man" and "The Crown" with Stevie Wonder) did "Every Brother Ain't A Brother" in 1970: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKrWe6x3qbmErpIsi=LqQSOlmHSSaWvqIA. Though James Brown was heavily sampled in hip hop, it was more for the beat and his over-the-top outbursts. However, when it comes to influence on rap, the above perople I mentioned - as well as Pigmeat Markham - were the precursors to today's rap!

[@mykchek7]

To me Hip Hop 50 went wrong with the West Coast NOT giving ITSELF an exclusive celebration and just waiting for The East Coast ones to do it for them. That's all their fault and instead of preparing for it 5yrs ago, they chose to complain about being left out. That's bullshit. There's a lot of emcees from NY alone that even weren't included so they gotta know shit was gonna be slim for them. They are big enough to do their own and it would have been bigger than anything we could have done for them and more cats would have gotten included. No excuses fellas, YOU DROPPED YOUR OWN BALL! Don't blame the NY events. I feel Short is wrong here. First of all, Without Schoolly D's PSK record most West Coast emcees wouldn't be who they are without those training wheels for them. Short for me was corn ball when he came out. Voice, flow and subject matter. Being from The Mecca of The Art I got to see all his flaws and he was no Run DMC, LL or Rakim then. His subject matter didn't appeal to me because it wasn't competitive at all with what I was listening to. That Bitches and Hoes bullshit worked where he was from but He would have gotten booed bringing that shit to the Apollo. Every emcee in The World gotta bow to The Pioneers from NYC. There's just no question. Respect the architects. Hip Hop was already in Full Swing In NYC in 1968 and by 1986 we were already perfecting unique cadences and rhyme styles with records out and all so stop playin' and give us our due. We are The Egyptians of this. Tariq Nasheed's Doc coming soon will address all of the lies and put them to bed.
