You know what I think the edutainment thing got knocked out of the top 40 when "FUN" groups came in.Bloodybastid said:I remember back in the 90s when there was Wu-Tang, KRS-One, Dre...those guys pillaging the top 40. I always wondered what the fuck happened along the way. When did all this ignorant-type of rap became so damn popular?
I love all that stuff but right there it seems the public got tired of the activist movement and just wanted to get dumber and dumber with the music.
Combined with the gansta influence creeping into the south
(dont get me wrong I love all these styles of rap) you basically end up with some ignant fools droppin ignant crap over beats that are designed by the local highschool cheerleading squad.
However "Hey we want some P___Y" wasnt like intelligent but it SOLD.
Matta a fact I take all that back.
When the White execs at the labels saw how controversey and crappy degrading lyrics equaled HUGE profits they RIGHT THERE started stealing and manipulating the artform and bending it to what you hear today.
Long live Indies
(Remember Def Jam was an indie)
