dog,to u UG=original, commercial=generic.
Cash, YOU are the one who is stuck in past, obsessed by labels and definitions. The fact that you keep labeling me as 'underground' just proves that.
I know the difference between original commercial music and the rest, trust me.
we cannot now have a meaniingful discussion as long as u maintain that idea.
I don't maintain that ideal, so we can have a meaningful discussion as long as your mind is open too.
to u HOW WE ROLL is original, but me its the same ol UG shit!!!! Its as GENERIC as u can get when it comes to UG rap!!!!! lol.
Your opinion is as valid as anyone else's so i respect that. Obviously I don't agree. 'How We Roll' is about turning stereotypes on their head whilst still being a banging club track - I don't see how that is generic.
but of course ur lookin at it only from ur angle so u wont see that!
...just as you look at things from only your angle so you won't see a lot of things too.
ur the only one sayin how ORIGINAL how we roll is! anybody else thought that track was groundbreakin,new,fresh? let us know!!!
Getting into arguing about How We Roll is pointless. All I can tell you is that it has opened a lot of doors for us. You'd be surprised who's given us props for that track but mentioning names would be pointless because I could just be lying - you'll see the moves though.

You do the maths
i dunno man. u jus attackin cats now on no basis except for ur ideals of what hiphop SHOULD BE IN UR EYES.
I'm not about just attacking cats on no basis - I have opinions, just like you do. I also don't have an idea of what hip hop should be. I love coming across unexpected and interesting mutations - that's what makes hip hop the music and culture that i have dedicated my life to. In all forms of art I respect the cats that originated something new. I also respect the cats that flipped what is already there in a new way. I can't help the fact that I have less respect for people who make music based on formulas.
On Rockstars we sayin we wana live like Rockstars " The ones u see on TV, and the ones u see sellin rocks on the block!!!!" we wana get paper!!!
I guess that's what R Kelly, Luda and the Shop Boyz were saying too?
We dont wana say sum never said before shit! we jus wana talk on wht we goin thru n what we livin, n where we wana be!!
That's cool. Obviously originality is not part of what you're about - I respect that.
u cant now put rules on what a rapper can write,how to write it,and whats original and whats not? then u dont have rappers! u got DUMN ROBOT NIGGAS FOLLOWIN A BELIEF!!!a system.
We'd rather follow our hearts n f*** if its right or wrong,cos only God can judge that!!
But what if following your heart just makes you a dumb robot?
I haven't got a Dplanet rule book. I just have my own ideas about what I think is good and bad - I don't represent anyone but myself. I'm not asking anyone to conform to anything - just giving my opinion on a message board like everyone else.
There's no point bringing God into it because once you put your product out there, everyone can judge it.
n Kewpid is not SIGNED to CRACKBOYS. WE are all Shareholders! nobody is signed as an artist.if Universal come knockin fo K dubs, i will make sure he gets the deal n grows to his aspirations!!!
Good for you. And I honestly hope that happens for you - I'd be the first to toast to your success because I'm not a hater.
