D,i cud say exactly the same for the heads(they deserve better from the UG cats) cos all the underground cats is copycats of canibus,the roots,company flow,wu tang,killarmy,and the producers is clones of premeir,hi-tek,jay d, and pete rock. etc.
the look is that old look,that grimey utility look,the military look,the regular guy look and the BROKE RAPPER LOOK. but i guess its only a issue when its commercial hey D?
the only difference is that the UG cats follow old trends and the young niggas is followin current trends.
U cats may fool the kids n say yall original! but for us who have seen hiphop thru all the stages, we can still see that the dudes u co-signin is also followin trends, just not current ones!
theres not a single hiphop artist in the world who can say they original and do not follow a certain trend.f*** outta here!
even Pharell will tell you, he follows Timbalands lead! and he also looks at whats hot ryt now!
when the south took over,guess what, he started bangin out the filtered 808's!
when Kanye came out, Pharell started doin more sample based production(look at Snoops album that he did)
And Timbo will tell u, he followin the trends in the POP market now!
and he will also tell u that he copied a lot of what Michael Jacksons production sounded like. and the use of vocals in the beat!
And Michael Jackson will tell u he mimiced James Brown.etc.
f*** outta here with that originality shit!
music is a forever growing space, we jus enter and add on. nobody comes in and just re-defines music. its a learning space, and to learn everybody mimics and copies, and repeats what was done before!
and yes, jus cos u spit in vernac, u still a clone of some US rappers!!!! u jus hide it more! lol. a lot of vernac cats are on REDMANS NUTS! stealin that flow but think we dont notice jus cos its a diff language! lol
