Let me first say that good music is good music if you put your blood sweat and tears in to some thing at the end of the day it don’t matter what any one thinks about your shit its yours I don’t like to knock any ones hustle! but I have to say that sorry to say X MAN DA LEGEND “radio plays good music” is just not true this might be easier to explain in the form of when real M.C.s or rappers battle. Excluding all that east/west cost shit, I am talking about skills real talent to rock the mic now not to long ago there was a conflict between KRS-one and Nelly. KRS-one was filling disrespected by not just NELLY but buy a whole generation of fans that have come up over the past 5-6 years who have been acclimated by commercial hip hop TV/radio there is a hole generation of people who don’t even care its like who’s DOUG E FRESH /CHUCK D /BIG DADDY KANE /GRANDMASTER CAZ. And some how they are not even relevant some of these guys careers are 15 years old and you look down on that all hip hop/rap artist should aspire to be in the game that long.
NELLY had a single on the training day sound track and he lashed out against fellow M.C.s who was not giving him respect that the music he was making was not real hip-hop. Ironically KRS-one had a song on his old LP “Im still number one” which he served MELLY weather NELLYS comments wear directed at KRS-ONE or not it started a battle most people would say KRS-ONE would win the battle after all he is a hip hop icon right? However, around the country they would just play NELLY records and his diss. And never played KRS-one’s record at all.
And then you have DJ’s on the air who don’t even have the history to even put it in the proper context one opinion might be that comical radio creates a lopsided battle field. Now days you have out side entities that will play NELLY all day long and never play KRS-one you have a fan base and a generation of people who are being fed and being thought hip-hop buy corporations who have a very different agenda. Now if you are talking about one man like KRS-one who is a hip hop icon going head to head with a corporation like universal who has a lot at steak who do you think is going to win well when NELLYVILLE LP dropped it sold over 4 million copies in 2002. and KRS-one wasn’t even able to sell 30 thousand units even after dissing NELLY so ask your self do corporate interest have any thing to do with what sells and what dos not sell? No matter the quality of the lyrics/music the way I see it is both NELLY and KRS-ONE are right it cannot just be all NELLY but what happened was it turned out to be all NELLY.
