why do you hate this young man so much? is he really that bad for what he does? he makes music for teens simple and plain. He is not an abomination of hip-hop at all. look at Rappers Delight by Sugar Hill Gang and tell me what that song was about? Money, cars, women and flossin. those lyrics are classic to recite but talk about absolutely nothing. some of my favorite songs are about ABSOLUTELY nothing and are just fun to listen to. I.E. Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey by Paul McCartney.
A lot of people hate on this lil dude and they need to shut up and realize that you are getting old. I did not like Crank Dat, but it's only because that song was played 10 trillion times back to back. it is what anyone could want from a pop song, catchy and a nice lil dance to go with it. Do i listen to his music ever? no. it is not my style, but just because i don't like doesn't mean that other can't enjoy it for what it is. shit i love Haddaway and that has got to be one of the dumber songs out, same with Right Said Fred.
He is not destroying hip-hop, it's not his fault that his music sells to teens. teens usually have bad taste in everything(sagging pants, night gowns for t-shirts, tight ass pants, douchey looking hair cuts, douchey 80's throw back clothing) but that is because i am getting older. the fat boys, dana dane, dougie fresh, skee-lo, the rapping duke, kurtis blow pretty much didn't rap about anything, but they made hot singles for the club (because most radio stations didn't play this stuff at the time) and it was all about fun. nothing really socially conscious came out till "the Message" by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. everything before that was pretty much dance singles like Soulja Boy.
so in other words, don't hate on an 18 year old for making money in this pure crap driven commercial music business. it's not his fault that crappy music sells to slow MTV teens. at least he doesn't fake being a gangsta like Lil Wayne, Rick Ross or any of the other bullshit down south rappers. Lil Man get your MC Hammer on and make money. just don't fully live out like MC Hammer where you try to go gangsta, go bankrupt, become a pastor and then try to rap again. be you lil homie and cater to your audience. thats why LL has lasted 24 years in the game, because he makes records for the ladies and makes dance singles.
Not everyone can be a J Dilla or a Black Thought. J Dilla is one of (if not THEE) the illest producers EVER and my personal FAVORITE period. Black Thought is one of dopest emcee's ever to be constantly slept on as one of the Greatest, and he is in my top 10. His style is like no other, same with Dilla. Always original often imitated never duplicated. Originality and pure Art don't always appeal to the masses, that's why you have Thomas Kincaid bullshit compared to someone like Marcel Duchamp. pure highly mass marketed shit to someone who is a Genius when it comes to innovation. draw the parallel.
sincerely,
Icy Mike.
