[QUOTE="BlackLeftLeft, post: 1266686, member: 11384"] Born in 1977. Literally grew up with Sugar Hill, Kurtis Blow, vinyl as "toys". Weird kid that used to sit around listening to that instead of watching cartoons. Later cratedigger/producer guy, worked in the industry, etc,etc. I'm THAT guy. I don't even listen to Hip-Hop anymore and haven't for a few years. Last album I actually downloaded was Future's "Purple Reign". I think there's a whole wave of guys that sound just like him. I don't even know enough anymore to know who's biting who and who started what. These guys can't spit. It's audio fast food. I put Hip-Hop on a pedestal my whole life and now have to realize that maybe it was a huge waste of time and a net negative for the Black community and the world as a whole. This year I've only listened to instrumental music I've never heard before. Listening to the same albums over and over now seems weird. I wasted hours and hours skimming through vinyl looking for samples. Should have been learning to play something instead. [/QUOTE]
