Shut Up & Jump Over Board All Ready

by The Chosen Few on September 10th, 2008

Hola folks, I'm back..... Took a break, anyways, let's begin.

I need everyone to repeat after me. "Unity"

The south is very well united. But its a few areas missing that unity, but no bigger place missing unity than New York. If it wasn't for the collapse of such powerhouses as G-Unit, Rocafella & DipSet among others we probably wouldn't hear most of the southern music that's promoted today. Those three groups could still be running the rap game today if they didn't let things get in between the music.


But the even bigger problem is the fans.

You people complain too damn much. More specifically, the "hip hop heads" are those who do the most bitching. Y'all complain about the simplest shit too. You cry over The T-Pain Effect, music on the radio & sales among other shit. If you don't like what's on the radio, turn it off, if you don't like hearing the T-Pain Effect, turn it off. Because by not turning it off, you prove the record execs right. The T-Pain effect is a gimmick used by most to get promo and by listening whether you like it or not just proves that its an effective tool interest people into listening. Hip Hop Heads have this sort of complex, the word for it escapes me at the moment but, y'all believe sales don't dictate quality, but you believe anyone who you think is a good MC, you think they should sell records. See how stupid that sounds.

It's impossible to sell records off skills alone. You need promo and a sound to reach the MASSES. Artists like Joe Budden and Talib and all those "emcees", they don't make music for the masses and they accept where they are as of now, so they make music towards their solid fan bases and sell to those alone but y'all hate on others like Soulja Boy who go out and get those fans that others can't reach. I wouldn't go out and purchase an album from him but his music is what is, its for partying and hanging out and those people who do such on a regular should go out and support him, and they did, he went platinum even tho at least 60% of his album had been heard by most of his fans like 7 months before he even blew up.

Don't expect any change in the trends in the rap game, so either stop listening or find some underground artists to bump.

O yea, speaking trends..... Word on the street is KanYe's next LP, 808's & Heartbreak, is said to be heavy on the T-Pain effect, so yea..... if you don't like it, don't listen, there's no reason to bitch and moan..... Dec. 16.

thats all i fuck wit is underground music
also, people complain WAY too much about LYRICISM
u dont have to have a punchline every bar to be a good artist
i think a rapper should have DECENT lyricism but not everybody has to be a lupe, papoose, nas, etc..
i think FLOW is more important than lyricism…shit u could have the best lyrics in the world but if u have a boring ass flow im not listening
if u have a flow/voice that sounds good over tracks people listen to the actual shit ur sayin without trying to twist through metaphors and subliminals
some rappers (jay, nas) are talented in both areas but u dont have to be a legend to be a good artist
open ur ears up

Wow. Can your article be any more general?

Your grouped “hip-hop heads” as hating auto tune and loving for the most part “under ground” music. That auto-tune shit was hot ass fuck when Roger Troutman, George Clinton and others used it in the past. Even when T-Pain used it, it was hot. But when every body and they mother uses it, it gets played out and corney.

I like listen to everything, radio included. But when they play the same shit every 2 hours, I get frustrated, turn that shit off, and put in my Cds.

Also it’s not impossible to sell records off of skills alone, Eminem and Jay are proof of that. Others like TI, Jeezy, Game…. are proving that too. You can sell records with skill, it’s all about marketing (the 1st single, release date, promotion etc…) People you mentioned like Talib and Budden were never known for doing major numbers. It’s not that they’re “too lyrical” or “underground” they just don’t sell period.

yea man….as soon as new york fell off fat joe packed his sorry ass up and headed down to the florida to chill with khaled for the rest of his career…….

and your comment about expecting underground rappers to sell is just ludicrous…..i have never once expected or cared how much lupe, talib or mos def sell……the only time i have ever cared was when kanye wiped 50’s assssss all over the floor…..

but other than that complaint, SPOT ON OLD CHUM….

Initially, I wasn’t going to chime in, and I haven’t lately, but

-—————— This is a DUMB FUCKIN’ TOPIC -————————————————-

I say that because, the writers of a blog shouldn’t criticize the comments made by the contributors. Simply speaking, since the context criticizes about 75% of what gets said on these blogs and news topics, suppose all of those people, including me, actually listened? Then, there’d be NO WEBSITE. Point blank.

I remember defsounds when many topics at a time would only have like 15 comments… It was only once in a blue moon if topics got 50-60 comments, and now, topics are getting 100+ comments with regularity. And, I don’t mean people double and triple posting, either.

Maybe you guys forgot that, but I didn’t. You guys create blogs and editorials downing and criticizing the contributors comments; let the contributors do that to each other. Because, within all the b.s. and all the nonsense, some of these guys, younger AND older, SOMETIMES hit nails on the coffin and are right on the money. AND, even in the so-called, DUMB ASS comments, a lot of times they DO provide entertainment, regardless.

That’s why I come on here, for the news AND the entertainment value. Maybe, sometimes I say a thing or two that enlightens someone’s thought processes or teaches someone something. Sometimes I piss people off or am DEAD WRONG. Same goes for everyone else. So, just relax, take a deep breath, count to ten, and let people say what they want to say and big up their favorite artists, whether it be Weezy, Jeezy, T.I., Lupe, Cam, Nas, Lauryn, or Jay!

Relaxxxxxxxxxxxxx…. I’m out!

idk what u been readin chosen few. u gettin this shit all mixed up. first of all, the t pain effect WAS cool when t pain brought that shit back. and remember cher used it? yea, it sounds good when ppl use it while they sing, WITH GOOD VOICES. but when u get lil wayne, with a terrible voice as is, singing with it on every god damn song he makes, it gets mad played out. and plenty of skilled artists sell, its all about marketing n promotion. u gotta get everyone in the country to hear ur shit n u gotta b better then the next regular mc. i dont understand u chosen few… how can anyone b happy about kanye using the autotoner now? i like kanye for his ridiculous production n cuz i like the way he raps. i dont wanna hear kanye sing, i dont wanna hear him rap with it even, i dont wanna hear wayne n t pain on all his tracks using the same effect. its already played out n i liked those artists for who they were i dont like them because they r using the same thing that someone else got famous for. give it up

tcf i am a hip hop head so i do complain about whats going on in the industry. everyone soundin the same cannot be a good thing. i think the thing that frustrates hip hop heads the most is the lack of originality in the game. beefin is another thing that is fuckin up hip hop. niggas are using beef as a gimmick these days, that is so lame. anyone that is not frustratin by this lame shit is lame themselves. another problem is the the quality of the content has fallen off. i remember when what an mc said on the mic really mattered. now its all about beats, hooks, and lies that get niggas paid. who the hell respects a liar, but another liar. as for new york hip hop, all them nigga’s want to do is battle. murder mook, math, jae milz etc…. yall seen them smack dvd’s. battlin on the street aint gettin em anywhere, most especially from the record lables.

So instead of gettin ahead in the ‘industry’ murda mook, jae, and the rest of them New York niggas is doin it how they want they doin it the way they grew up on wut got them hooked into hip hop they neva forgot where they came from unlike alot of these fake ass rappas gettin to into the media and shit.

AND I HAVE NOTICED THAT MORE RAPPERS ARE USING THE T-PAIN EFFECT WHICH TO ME IS GETTING PLAYED OUT NOW….JUST LEAVE IT TO T-PAIN ONLY. I DON’T REALLY WANT TO HEAR LIL WAYNE CHANGING HIS STYLE FOR THAT VOCODER SHIT, THATS NOT THE LIL WAYNE I KNOW I JUST WANT TO HEAR FIRE LIKEGOSSIP”! BUT IT IS WHAT IT IS SO FUCK IT.

KANYE’S ALBUM IS NOT GOING TO BE NO JOKE AND THERE WILL BE SOME BANGERS ON THE ALBUM. YOU CAN BET YOUR LIFE YOU WILL GET SOME VOCODER SHIT ON THERE LIKELOCKDOWNAND THAT TRACK IS DOPE!

P.S THEN YOU GOT THE HATERADE DRINKERS, ALWAYS PUTTING DOWN PEOPLE WHO WANT TO ACHIEVE IN MUSIC AS A RAPPER, ALWAYS TALKING SHIT AND JUST HATING. THE ONLY PERSON WE SHOULD BE HATING IS THE FUCKING DEVIL.

This article is straight truth. It’s not supply and quality, it’s supply and DEMAND. I don’t like Souja Boy, but he has a fan base of teeny boppers, a gimmick and trendy dance, so he even got suburban white kids too. I love Cass to death, but I doubt he’ll ever go platinum, because there are a LOT of hot spitters out ther, and even MORE bootleggers. At best, Niggas will buy one, maybe two… and cop the rest of the hot CDs bootleg. Who else is making dance music that appeals to the hip hop culture?? And most of all, who is putting their shit out there to get it known. I gotta agree wit 50 and KRS-One. It’s not the best music, but he got his shit out there and marketed himself well, and reaped the rewards of it.

We dont care if you like us or not…..We dont think about the south….Your not gonna walk into the barber shop and cop a TI mixtape…your gonna get that jadakiss or saigon etc….We have hott artists for dayz..yall just arent checkin for them b/c you dont know where to look…

Point Blank if you want REAL lyricsm,punchlines,metaphors and real world street music…..Listen to some NY Hip HOp

If you want to have diamonds on your damn chain, get silly, and walk it out while sippin sizzurp…then you know where to go

NY makes music for real niggas on the block….and thats the difference

I remember growing up listening to some serious Hip Hop tracks. Them song you put on still today that set yo bones on fire! Then eventually they begun to change, some good, some bad. In my opinion, rappers now-a-days wait for the next man to put out a new style before biting off of it. Im from Houston, and majority of the real spitting artist i use/still listen too have pass or was killed, exp. Pimp C, Hawk and Fat Pat. The South does have some hard hitters, but at the same time there’s also some landfill rappers walking around. Ice Cube have a song on his new album called Hood Mentality, where he talks about changing our mind set. Too many rappers want to “Glorify” the dope game. I know damn well that half of these rappers didnt grow up sellin any drug paraphernalia; some probably havent even touch it. Like i said earlier, im from the South, but i enjoy artist from every area. Im not the type of person to limit my mind to one thing, but it seems that rappers (and there fans) who are in todays Hip Hop era do. But once again, this is my opinion.

New York was the opening act..You could relate to the artists cuz they looked just like you, dressed like you, walked like you etc. Their production wasn’t as strong but lyrics and swagger and I don’t mean personality swagger, I mean delivery, flow and believing in what they were saying.

West Coast was the 2nd act. Their production was pioneering to say the least. Dr. Dre is the master of the control boards. Lyrics not as strong as New Yorks but they had certain style that came from the low-riding community and gang community. No one knew what ghost riding the whip or putting hydrolics on your car was. That’s west coastin.

Midwest,South…I tend to take chicago out of the Midwest..It’s resembles to much of New York..so i’m not dissin chi-town, people!

Somehow Midwest cats snuck on the stage..Midwest took elements of New York and West Coast rap and fused them. Then put a twang on it..Well in doing this West Coast was shot and killed and New York was left battered and bruised.

The South(Souf, as my cousins would say)

They didn’t kill it…They capitalized on the formula West Coast was doing..Immaculate production, decent lyrics and great MARKETING. Then much like S.E.C. football the fans stretch from VA, South to Florida and west to Texas..That’s a lot of fucking people! You have 10-15 states that listen to this exclusively. So you can stay local and make a decent living..While as New York and West Coast is delegated to their respective states.

New York and West Coast talked about trivial shit too! Selling, dealing and robbing, but they mixed it up with a “Dear Mama” and “Song Cry”…The South is exclusively selling, dealing, robbing and then most importantly “Making it Rain”….

The South is just on stage now and I like most fellow Southerners know it will be short lived..It’s only been 3-4 years..Ya’ll act like its been a decade!! I mean How many times can you “Get Silly” and how many girls are looking for a “Hood Nigga” especially when Barack is about to be in office? lol case in point put on a universal track talking about money.

Lil Wayne and T-Pain “Got Money”

T.I. and Young Jeezy “I got Money”

Junior Mafia feat. B.I.G. “Get Money”

As a DJ I’ve done my own case studies by playin these 3 sounds over the course of a party and seeing the reaction of the crowd…After spinning 10 Souf songs talking about “Get low” and “Whoop that trick”, something like Junior Mafia’s “Get Money” comes on and the crowd goes wild!!!!!

That’s the difference. The South’s production trances you for those 3 weeks but after that, most of the beats get stale. Who’s next though?

I’m glad you bought up VA..In politics its a swing state, same as in music..When I was growing up I had a Ruff Ryder t-shirt(brownish) a blue and brown du-rag with baggy pelle’s and timberlands on..Damn I still remember the 1st day of 8th grade lookin fresh as fuck!!!!!!

Va is beautiful..You got Hampton, V-State, Howard in DC, North Carolina A&T on the border and Norfolk State by the beach..Some of the finest sistas on the planet..Don’t know why I left!!!!!!

Virginia is tricky..We are the EAST COAST…We are the glue that brings balance to everything..Now if you read my comment, i never said VA was the dirty Souf! I said much like S.E.C. football, Southern Music has an influence in VA..Hell the first time I listened to Gucci Mane was in my niggas whip(he goes to hampton)..I heard of him but never listened to him.. Thats when I knew Southern Music is everywhere…

Music has its time and place..When i’m coming home from the club(as of right now) I don’t want to hear “One Mic”…I want to hear “Freaky Gurl” cuz hopefully the chick i pulled is “bout it, bout it”~Master P.

Man I want to go home..Va is my home…I miss my sistahs!!! They be stoppin by my momma’s house askin for me..I be like damn!!! hit a nigga up on facebook or somethin!!! Va is the shit and even though I’m in Florida now, my heart is always in VA!!!

Marquis im glad you touched on Va. because there are some people mainly NY tri-state people that think they are the only one’s holdin it down for the east coast. our whole vibe is east coast and the reason the east coast is in the state its in as far as hip hop is because of the thinkin of our northern cousins. the south is runnin shit because they are more unified. we need that unity make a return trip to the east coast. keep postin, you droppin serious jewels on the people. just hope they are smart enough to catch em.

Realistically, hip hop has taken a drastic commercial approach in the past 10 years as we all know. Just look at guys like da Clipse, they were known for a gutta, underground sound, but now they wanna take a commercial approach..why?…Cause thats were the money is at!!! I don’t agree wit it, but I also don’t knock em. Other guys wit great lyrics like: Kanye, Common, even Jay-Z to some degree have taken the same route. It sells…us hip hop heads might not like it, but we can’t knock it. Why? Cause we listen to it and hate on it…key words: “WE LISTEN TO IT”…Learn it.

Solid point, I couldn’t agree more. Yes New York’s cockiness has brought this upon us (true story), with the unnecessary beefing, no unity: nobody wants to jump on each other track like shit was in the golden day. The formula DJ Arab ooops I mean Khaled is using of having every southern artist rock on one posse cut been done before, shit ain’t new, hell who remembers Johnny Blaze? That Track was crack Pun, Nas, Kiss, the Chef, Fat Joe (when he was still from NY). Now as for unity, NY lost it man. Case & point that incident when Trick Daddy & Rick ‘CO’ Ross had a lil fall out; the min shit hit the fan, they was quick to downplay it, trick Daddy was the 1st to defend the fat hommie when his CO pictures hit every blog,…now that’s some unity shit,…In NY that will never go down, they rather argue on hot97 who’s yes man is richer (my NY cats remember that Cam & 50 mess on the air).

But let’s keep it real for a second, shit will be mad premature to blame only the consumers aka fans for this mess, yes I agree the fans have had a major roll in the down fall of hip-hop, shit while we at, let’s not spare the Execs, but ain’t no way I will let the DJ’s & Artist slide…WHAT?
The artist:
1st of all, their yes man need to get lined up & killed firing squad style or sent to Iraq for their roles,…worrrrrrd up. You can’t tell me when sonn steps in the booth drops that hot garbage, that nobody in his camp is saying ‘yo that shit is wack go back in’,…or better yet as an artist why not devote 100% to your craft…come on now, could you imagine how shitty KRS-1 would have sounded back then if he had 100 ventures to run beside write a hot 16? I mean who is just an MC now days? Everybody has their own shity record label, their shit clothing line, shity, shity, shity…
When an Mc says ‘I ain’t an rapper I’m a hustler’ then why are surprised the quality of music has declined, they say they rapping,…now why are we hereing from them?
That’s where I blame these DJs
DJs: Honestly, these dudes where the gate keeper of hip hop, nobody could touch the MIC with out the DJ’s blessing. But now these DJ’s are encouraging garbage to be produced & reproduced, they put their man on knowing God damn well sonn 16 is wack. Now the other dude that’s hot don’t get even a spin b/c the DJ is hating.
And rembember when DJ’s was like ‘nah sonn, ur shit needs so more work I can’t play that’,…why don’t the do that no more? You mean to tell me DL4 & them Franchise boys are hot enough to be on hot 97? Hell No all those DJ’s shouldn’t even dream of mixing that shit in on the air.

Man I rather stop here, but the problem is deeper then what’s on the surface.

NO, that shit has been TOO anticipated, I was lookin forward to hear Kanye rap, not sing, people bitch about Fifty singing but are like, NICE CHANGE OF PACE KANYE LET ME SUCK YOUR DICK when he starts singing. No i am not a fan of hip hop, but every hip hop listener is a hypocrite and there are few fans that aren’t on their favorite rapper’s nuts… i’ll admit i i’m a nas/lupe/cham/em dickrider… i’m just saying that i can’t listen to the radio anymore because of this downfall in music quality and I’m sick of people defending it because that is BULLSHIT, you CAN’T listen to the radio and get music worth listening unless you got satellite, so that is why people bitch

It’s about balance…. you can aim for the masses with your singles, but also appease the hard-core audience with your “filler” tracks. Wayne actually did a pretty good job with that. He had some good material on that uber-popular, masses-targeting Carter III. G-Unit tried that as well….. “TRIED.”

Ya’ll are always talkin about such and such killed hip hop, how is hip hop dead? Because the radio doesn’t play what you consider real hip hop? When has the radio ever played or determined what was real hip hop? Ya’ll are always sayin people need 2 be more creative and stop following in eachothers foot steps but as soon as you hear somethin that you don’t like, all of a sudden it ain’t hip hop.

First of all, i onsider myslf a “hip hop head” and the points your making in the article aren’t the things buggin me. i understand that soulja boy does party music, ok. The t-pain effect is a gimmick used a lot, ok. The record sale aren’t there anymore, ok. I accept all of that, what i dont accept is people sayin lil wayne is nasty or the best rapper alive, or t.i., or cam’ron, or gucci mane are good rappers. I’m tired of people using record and ringtone sales as a way to prove someone is a good rapper. if you like them or like their music, then thats cool. But don’t talk out of your ass sayin that lil wayne can eat eminem in a battle. And you wanna use sales for that, eminem has the record for solo artists, has done it twice, and would of done it a third if encore would have come out on a tuesday instead of a friday, and that album wasn’t worth that. I’m not just defending eminem, there are others. Lupe Fiasco, Nas, even the game to a point. So keep your sales and radio play, just know your place.

This article is bullshit. I have listened to a urban radio in years in my city(Toronto) due to this same reason, I havent watched rap city or 106 in years due to the same reason. I DONT WANT TO HAVE LISTEN OR WATCH GARBAGE. I search and search for music that doesnt make the mainstream just find a few songs I can enjoy. I fail to believe this has anything to do with joe budden or Talib’s decisions to make quality music with heart, soul. It has to do with the mass media machines, and there decision to sell hip hop to little boys and girls. They have left out the people the were around from the start and who supported hip hop when it was still small time. We cant get a video or song played for us on the radio? I guess since we hit a certain age we should listen to ez rock or somebullshit,, FUCK THAT!!! Not a surpirse Kanye is packing is album with autotune, He doesnt have much to say anyways. Somebody wire his jaw back shut, so he can stick to producing.

Bruh you named all these artist from NY and not even half of these dudes/females have hits out right now or have albums that are even moving units.

Although this is a VERY talented list of artist you have here, only a hand full of these artist are noticed around the country (not including the legends).

50, Fabolous, Busta, Jay, Nas, Fat Joe, LL, Jim Jones and Jadakiss (from time to time on features), are really the only NY rappers that are rellevant right now.

Just like the article said, you have all that talent up there BUT NO UNITY….you cats are greedy, selfish and grimey…..Down south, you see more collabs than ever. We even collab with NY artist, ask Jada or Jim Jones or Fat Joe why they jump on southern style songs now?

NY was the inventor of Hip Hop, but MUSIC, American music was created in the south. Blues, Jazz, Country, whatever you name it. Its in our blood down here its come natrual just like freestyling and battle rappin comes natural to East Coast artist.

Music has a purpose and an audience when its made. That why you have club songs, songs for the ladies, for the streets, for the cars, to chill to, its all Hip Hop…Fans is why hip hop is “supposedly” dead…everybody wants to divide it and say what is right and wrong.
