As for Alicia and Swizz: I don't think either of them are wrong. They have to be happy in THEIR life. If dude was happy at home, he never would have looked at Alicia. He did the right thing to leave when he realized where he really wanted to be. Now, they would BOTH be wrong if he was just his side piece and got knocked up. However, they did this the right way. Of course the ex-wife was not happy with how things happened but I can't see how the situation could have been done any better.

The same thing was said about the music in our generation... :lecture:
I went to a wedding 2 weeks ago and people were preppin, smurfing, tootsie rollin, doin the Kidd-n-Play, and everything else.. :lol: Did you see the reaction of those fans when dude was on stage? They gonna be "Crankin That for a while to come.
...and actually, I have to problem with the music of this generation. I don't like everything but I like a variety of music genres. I just take songs for what they are. Some of you all are acting like everyone is supposed to be a musical genious. Music is supposed to make you move, motivate you, and make you feel good. Dude gets the crowd moving and they like that.

Thank you!!
I've been screaming that same shat for the longest!! I wish I could find that interview that Diddy did with Susan Taylor of Essence (I believe that is his aunt or something); he said something along the lines of "Our parents didn't like Hip-Hop back in the day when it was fun, clean, and all about partying." And there it is. :clap: :tup:
U need to post this in that Hip-Hop bashing thread that I've been ignoring because my response will be the same as before- "YA'LL NICCA's IS JUST OLD!" :emlaugh:

I don't know soror. A lot older folks bashed hip hop back in my generation because it was brand new to them. It was their first exposure to it. Hip Hop aint brand new to us OLD heads now. We came up on it. We know what is supposed to be. We just know the record companies are flooding the market with garbage. Some cats like Lupe Fiasco are pretty good. But that Soulja Boy and some of that other crap is crap. Even the music is mundane. It aint bumping like talking about. I rather listen to Lil Jon and his crunk music. Some of the Hip Hop is okay. But it aint on the level it was in the 80s and 90s or even the early 2000's. Instead of getting better it is getting worse. You got the good ones in TI, Jeezy, etc that put out some decent stuff. I even like Rick Ross and that DJ Khalid cat.
The B.O.B cat is okay. I don't think it is a generation thing. Because I know alot of youngsters who hate their stuff. They are still wanting to groove to the old school. All of Soulja Boy and the like stuff sound the same. The record labels just copy one style and roll with it. That's why Jay-Z said death of the auto tune. I can feel what he meant on that. I try to keep an open mind and be objective about it. But the music today sucks...bottom line. Aint no sugar coating it. This will go down as one of the worse era's of music when historians look back at it.

Corporate America killed Hip Hop. Assimilation of the hip hop culture by mainstream America started this downward slope in the quality of music, so that record labels could increase the quantity of music. That is why we see artist with no talent, creativity, and/or originality producing blah songs.
Maybe I am a little biased because I never liked Dance songs but I absolutely detest these songs, where artist go make up a dance in the basement with their homeboys make up a song. Yall can kill that generational gap mess, I am 25 but I have been nauseated with the state of hip hop for a while.

As I explained it to my wife Sunday night. It's simple. When most of us came up we listend to Hall and Oats, Billy Ocean,Phill Collins, Hip Hop and Rap, R&B, Jazz and Blues. It was so much great talent that the Gimmick Rappers were just that Gimmick Rapper.
Now Gimmic Rappers rule the airways and quality artist are pushed to mixtapes and other downloadable mediums.
There were so many hard hitting acts during our younger days that the toosie roll type cats only got so much love. Now Soulja Boy, Rosco Dashes rule the game and it's nothing but garbage.

Listen to "California Love" (a song essentially about nothing) and then listen to "O Let's Do it" (another song). You can't sit here and tell me that the same amount of effort was put into those songs. I came up on pretty much hip hop and R&B, I watched the quality go straight down.

STC has to watch the replay of the show. AK performed her ass off. When Kanye album come out? He went hard on Beautiful Death to open the show. Queen Latifah was a good host too. She still can rap.

Frat, I don't think it will EVER be on the same level as the 80's and 90's....but I just don't see anything wrong with today's era having fun with it. Shid, weren't there a few artists back in the day who were considered "garbage," yet they were at the top? For example- MC Hammer. Ya'll know dayum well he couldn't rap a X-mas gift, but he entertained the hell out of us and made millions. Put on "Can't Touch This" or "Turn this mutha out" now and watch what happens. :lol:
Now that's probably how I feel about R&B. :lol: I grew up on Hip-Hop, but R&B is my first love. :heart: Watching El Debarge on the BET Awards was certainly a breath of fresh air. :nod: :tup:
I'on know....maybe I can relate a bit more with da kiddies cause I remember old folks doggin out our music, hair, and fashion back in the day and now we've become those same old folks. :lol:

Those aren't the same acts. You can't compare Tupac to Soulja Boy.
Soulja Boy is Red Head kingpin, 95 South,ying yang twins..etc
I'm with you 100%. WE had beast rappers everywhere back in the day so they just outshined these gimmick rappers. We just don't have as many beast rappers/artist anymore. Kids wants dance music not thought provoking rhymes.

You can't compare nothing currently to anything in the past. This junk now and days has no quality. Popularity (quantity) does not equate to quality.
