Yo, little brother, hopefully you read this, but I just heard about the tornadoes that went through raleigh,NC, & I just wanna say as a fan, I hope everything is good with you and you're family.. Get at me, and let me know, again prayers out to everyone, I wish nothing bit the best...
@johnny718bravo Aside from this joint being 3 years old & Little Brother now being a defunct group...@houria07 hit the nail on the head. Real Rap gets NO radio love. The "suits" tend 2 want our kids brainwashed by ignorance. If it isn't unintelligible, dance oriented, or pseudo-genocidal...the powers that be don't seem 2 want "US" 2 hear it!!! And by "US" I don't mean Black People...I mean the HIP HOP culture.
@OvrC59 you sound like an asshole because you don't make sense. This music isnt on the radio because it doesnt sell to people who buy music , ie white teenagers. Theres no conspiracy theory, its just white teenager dont buy the music so its not on the radio.
@Shadapaga Dude, I worked 7 years with Radio One and 2 with Sirius/XM...so what's your qualifications??? The fact is...this joint got love on Satellite radio, but not FM. I have sat in those meetings U d**k!!!
@OvrC59 how does working for XM radio have anything to do with your conspiracy theory that "executives" are trying to destroy black people. what does XM radio have to do with FM radio, XM radio is subscription based not advertisment based and that is why Little Brother isnt on FM. My qualitifications are that i am an intelligent free thinking young adult that knows better than to believe in dumb conspiracy theories, when there are perfectly plausible explanations.
@Shadapaga 1st off, I never said anything about Execs "trying to destroy black people"..that's was YOUR interpretation. Also, Radio One is not subscription based; it's the largest Black Owned Radio Company in the world. I was only at XM 2 years (Read for Comprehension). Like I said, I've sat in meetings where I've heard PD's say "This song is too lyrical to be played...let's play more dance music...kids don't care about music". WTF is "too lyrical"??? cont'd...
@Shadapaga Eminem is the biggest selling Rap Artist of all time and he's VERY lyrical. White and Top 40 stations play his new stuff, but most Black markets won't touch it. I do believe most of his fans are White. Conscious rap was huge at one time, until the powers that be decided to promote BS. I'm not arguing with U because obviously U're just a listener and not schooled in the industry. Peace!
@OvrC59 Eminem sold to rebelious white teenagers that reinforces my argument. Black markets play eminem all the time, he is on aton of black radio stations and tv stations and everything. Consciousness is not selling in rap today becasue peopel mature enough to listen to conscious music no how to download it for free while people that buy music rather than download for free,ie white teenagers, and old people represent the larger part of the market, and executives sell them what they want.
@OvrC59 how can you claim that as a fact the only logical way to do that is to know of every "black" music station (which is an opinion in itself) and determine his play. I doubt you did that.
@HipHopPolooza I was speaking as a former employee of one of the largest Black Communications Conglomerates in the world (Radio One). A "Black" radio station is defined as Urban-Contemporary, Hip-Hop/R&B, Urban-Adult/Soul, even Black Gospel...that's NOT an opinion. Tell U what though, instead of arguing over semantics...how about we just support these great, underground artists!?! Folks love to MAKE a point, but can't seem 2 ever MAKE a difference...
@OvrC59 you can see that conscious music is being made its just that nobody is buying it because they dont have to. In return the people that are making money in music are people that white teenagers and old people like and they listen to shitty music so its like everybody that deserves to make money doesnt and everybody that makes shitty music for white teenagers and old people make money, it so simple its no conspiracy.
@Shadapaga Why do they want it though? That's the question. They can't want what they don't know exists. There was a time in the 90's when things changed. It's funny how NWA coexisted with Public Enemy who coexisted with 2 Live Crew. Neither got a tone of airplay...NWA got almost None. There should be a balance and there isn't because it's all in what the record companies push. I don't even blame Radio at this point. Still, I've heard Execs say shady sh*t. U have valid points though. Respect
@OvrC59 You dont understand our culture, people like me and you who listen to conscious music are influenced by internet based media, the radio is only important to people who are unfamiliar with the internet, the music that you are talking about has been weeded out as our demographic has moved to the internet. Consumers sitll controll the music being sold, but artist controll the music being made. Balance would be ideal for us, but we are not consumers truthfully.
@Shadapaga That's a negative. I buy at least 30 CD's a year. Not as many as when I was a 22 yr old, but I'd still call that a consumer. I also LEGALLY download from iTunes, but I get the gist of what U're saying. Save the music y'all!!!
This is THE "Life of the Party" I always tried to find. This beat is so dope and Carlitta delivered on the hook. Top 5 LB joint of all time in my book.
If your a fan of music...beats, rhymes,concept,relatability to everyday shit niggas go through, these cats along with outkast are arguably the best not only in hip hop but music history..Its really a shame they dont get the PUB they deserve.
My son LOVES these dudes and he's only 11. I'm going to buy him each and every one of their Cds for his upcoming Bday..it's gonna trump the ATV his father is getting him!
