Nas: This Is Where Hip-Hop Is Headed If We Don't Stop The Coonin'
Posted by Media Outrage on August 4th, 2009
Nas and Nick Cannon produced a PSA warning the hip-hop world of its own destruction if rappers don’t stop the shuckin’ and jivin’…. Peep the video…

Mad True. We already have Soulja Boy coonin and bafoonin and a Nickelodeon rapper drake going from daydreaming about good grades to Hoes and Bitches. We must stop this “Niggafied” acting and take rap back to 1989.

Nas and Nick need to go back to the streets and listen. Public opinion is always changing and thats what both are failing to keep up with. They both lack even the ability to shape it. Why go back? The new generation is creating its own thing. Even hip hop wasnt considered art/music(whatever you wanna call it) by the generation before it and after. It remains a mystery why most people think they can stop progress. However, I feel your pain if thats all you know.

Preach on, Brother Jones!
All these Lean and Snap faggots and Swag Nazis need C4 laid around their houses. If that doesn’t work we could always put grenades in their pockets!

@ Wannaknow
The only progress being made with Ringtone Rap is the lining of White Corporate America’s pockets and Blacks being set back to the mothafuckin Stone Age!

@ Unkle Death…lemme take a guess-you consider yourself black and somehow finances are tight, right? Try being a human being first and do your thing the best way you know how. Black,white etc is abstract, only “visible” to those who play by its rules.

Nas is telling the truth. Today’s videos may not be as blatant as the Nick Cannon video, but they damn sure parallel it. Defenders of this intentional ignorance always use the generational disconnect as an excuse. They say that it’s the same as older generations disagreeing with hip hop all together, but I beg the differ. During the birth of hip hop older people didn’t accuse rappers of glorifying ignorance. Older generations didn’t have a problem with rap until the genesis of gangsta rap. In 1992 the number one record played on the radio was Public Enemy’s Fight the Power. In 2008 the number one record played on the radio was Little Wayne’s Lollipop. This drastic change in hip hop’s content isn’t an accident or coincidence, it was intentional. If anyone doesn’t believe what I’m saying check out this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pV4mhxpaEmk&feature=PlayList&p=EFFE6672F0B3DEFE&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=29

Terrance that’s all truth what you wrote. And that link was nothing but truth. I’m all for the old skool stuff. The younger generation can have and keep what they play on the radio these days.
It’s all for them…

I would like it if hip-hop artists like Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Rakim, Nas, KRS One, Run DMC, you know the ones who had substance, would record a whack ass, “this-is-how-I-brush-my-teeth” type song. Maybe if the real artists these noise makers “look up to” made a dumb ass record it will be like looking in the mirror and the bullshit will stop.

This is a shoot at down south rap. When the east coast was hot you did not hear anyone from the south complaing about rappers saying yo son yo son yo son, or wearing there tims in the summer time. When the west coast had it now one said that rapping about banging, or crip walking, or drive bys was killing rap. Rap is in the south right now, and reflecting that. Its a over exaggerated, but so is hip hop from day one. I grew up in the south when NAS was first coming out, and he was my favorite rapper. I think he still is the dopest MC alive. Let the south have there time.
