Old vs New School Hip Hop Series Part 1: Are Legends Respected? | DEHH

Introducing a new series for you all. We will take, from time to time, an introspective look into hip hop and the growing divide between the youth in hip hop and the old heads in hip hop. We have received a quite a few request on this topic from you all. With a request of this nature, we felt that we could do more than just bring you a part 1, 2, or 3. We wanted to really explore this in detail and find the younger generation and obtain their feedback on their perceptions in hip hop and how it relates to them in their world today. Feefo can only represent his demographic to a certain point.

This will not be a running series but one that we bring to you as we produce them out. While you may find a pt 1 or 2 there, we really dive into specific topics as it relates to this series. We are really excited to bring this to you all and hope you enjoy it as well.

Shoutout to @ryanfalcone on of our first 40 subscribers!! Thanks for rolling with us for so long homie! Shoutout to @gmfgoon and J. Nyce for joining us this week as well! Enjoyed having you all on the show!

See you in the comment section!

the only thing the new school respects is the almighty dollar

[phatflowLife]

hip hop is life, its just teens now days think its all about money, cars and bitches. I'm 14, and i get pissed off when these teens think T-Pain, Drake, Rick Ross etc. are the best..

[Juiceish1]

Quote of the day: "you wont see Lil wayne rockin a fuckin Lord Finesse shirt"  gotta love Mike C-town man, funny dude man. dats my dude tho fo real.

wanna see a good new diss track? check out my channel see my track John Deer dissing That Kid Era

[Gageofzombieland]

@deadendhiphop the majority of young listeners do not respect the pioneers that paved the way for guys like lil wayne and drake and lil boosie and guys like that..... but on the other hand, there are a lot of young listeners who do still respect older rappers like Big L and Rakim for example. i really liked the discussion for this video guys keep it up

Thats the allure of almost everything in the US because over seas the people love KRS or all the MCs that are not relevant or supported by these new ones.

[poem973]

Perfect example Common on "Sweet",to me hes saying what all these legends or so called pioneers shouldve been saying on a track if and when they felt disrespected or the craft was. "You aint a man,you dont even know who you are etc,i dont care if its towards Drake whoever,but hes like taking his belt off,ill whoop you like the dad you never had,lol!!!type rhymes,thats what I miss about Mceeing!!

[poem973]

For example Buckshot made an album or two in the 2000s produced by 9th Wonder. I think if it wasnt for that type of sound 9th brings I wouldnt check for Buckshot,personally I thought that wholr Bootcamp Click was done. But they got like a second wind fucking with Pete Rock,go figure or not even just Pete but the production,beats where fresh,like almost back in the day ish. I mean with the exception of Sean P!!!! That dudes an animal,put him on front street with any of these dilly dallies!

[poem973]

But not even the heads that made Wu blow up and bought their albums are not checking for those 90s mid 90s artist artist. They might like their old shit but they wont really buy their new albums,why I dont know.

@encdee Upon further consider though, you are right. We’re seeing more disrespect of hip hop pioneers than we have before especially from artisans who are not even half as capable as the people they’re starting conflict with. I think in the past, even with the heavy element of competition, rappers new to respect those that laid the groundwork for the genre. So overall I can see why it’s happening but I definitely don’t agree with it.

[WrinkledPaper50]

@encdee The purpose for rap battles have become less substantial and no longer progress the art form in the same way they use to. To that end I agree, but it’s still rooted in the culture of competition. It’s a shadow of its former self but it’s how the young artists of today have interpreted the traditions of yesterday. It’s a regressive form of what battling use to be but you can still see how we got to this point based on the genres history.

[encdee]

@WrinkledPaper50 i thought his point was one of the most hollow and uninformed views in the whole video. previously people "battled" or competed based on skills and lyrical ability and consequently these "battles" were based on respect because one persons skills sharpened and honed anothers and caused them to strive for a higher level. Thus the artform was enriched.

With pop culture dilution the focus shifted to a "battle" of falseness and gimmicks. "Skill" to "swag", a word that means vanity.
