Things I miss about hip-hop (non-production/mc related)

[Pug]

No backup dancers / side kicks









I could go on, but you know what I'm talking about! So what do you miss most about hip-hop besides the MC's and Producers?

Hmm, good thread.

I gotta say, fans that arent analysts, picking every little aspect apart. or loyal listeners, people that dont big you up until someone newer or shinier comes along.

I miss regular people enthusiastic about listening to music.

I miss everything that you just said, plus:

1. Story-telling:


2. Political:


3. An actual MC-DJ duo:


4. Gangsta/West Coast:

I miss the whole "state of mind" regarding hip hop back in the early days. I mean there were struggles and tough times but people weren't near as selfish and self gratifying as they are today. Everybody needed and helped others as best they could. Nowadays, you out there all on your own. Now it's all about "survival of the fittest".
