basically if you didnt get the message back when the albumsdropped, you dont know where their coming from and therefore have no idea whats real and whats not.
what???? tribe called quest and the roots failed to do what?!? your trippin..... guaranteed all those cats have mad respect for one another for contributing to the art. yall act like its such a thin line between the two worlds. how can you make one form mainstream and vice versa without being able to relate. thats always what got thru to me. the roots were a major influence, organic hiphop jazz. mainstream isnt anything but a label. they were influential before they blew up! had my respect then.
Smoovethepesent man you don't know what's going on kanye? He trash 1 official album college drop out man u don't kno what keeping it real is ... Mos def keeping it real nas, Talib kweli, common, black thought, beanie segal, az, freeway, lupe fiasco, eightball & mjg etc
@halalphilly Agreed..you know hip hop...and who's real, who's fake..biggups to you for not falling for the commercial puppets the media shoves in our faces
I See Some Comments about Kanye and i MUST intercede. Kanye is the realest hip hop we have now, and he stays true to it while also introducing us to multiple distinct genres of music through sampling. So all Kanye haters take a nap and hop off of Taylor Swift's, and George Bush's SACK !!
@SmooveTheKing You have been brainwashed by the radio. The Roots and Krs-One have been keeping it real since the golden era... haha I can't believe you think Kanye is the "realest" rapper.. Listen to any Nas album and get your white ass educated.
@cwbskateboarding That Made Me Laugh, You Said my "White Ass" when your screen name is cwbSKATEBOARDING lol. To begin I am actually black, a negro, a nigga, or afro american (as the afro centric say) nd to begin, Nas is the real deal but to say that Kanye isn't is strict ignorance. Kanye has brought urban, REAL, genuine hip hop to mainstream, which Mos Def, Talib Kweli, KRS-One, The Roots, A Tribe Called A Quest, The Black Eyed Peas (pre-fergie era), & even Common have failed to do to an extent
@SmooveTheKing uhh a tribe called quest have platinum and multiplatinum albums buddy what are you talkin about?? the only thing they failed in is staying consistent..
@SmooveTheKing Although I agree with you to an extent, it's never really been in the interests of those artists to bring it to the mainstream in the first place. They did it for the people, the music and the culture first and foremost...the fact that they ended up getting well recognized is just a by-product of their talent and devotion. Kanye aimed to venture out into pop structures but really subverted them, much respect, but it's not something the others strived for. New BEP is garbage though
great song to listen to while driving, the beat is flawless, and you gotta love the rymes, and Badu's voice in the chorus. I like the simile, "women give me rythem like beatbox." Thats clever.
haters...erykah badu's love-life is none of her business. you dont know whats going on in the relationship, you dont even know them personally. and yet your so quick to label her a hoe, what do even know aboout her? about common or andre or her current partner. nothing. nothing real anyways. how many people have you people been involved with? are you all virgins?
