Why and how the Internet is ruining hip-hop Part 1.

This is going to be a series. A really LONG fucking series. There's so many ways that the internet is ruining hip-hop. It's boundless. There's material for days on this. But today, I want to point to a reason and give an example of why the Internet is destroying the music we love so much. The first part of this series will delve into the fact that the internet has given every faggot with a mic that watched 8 mile a chance to show the world their amazing skills. Really, I don't go on youtube and see every schmuck that went to a Cradle of Filth concert pulling out their guitars and drums and posting it all over the fucking interwebs saying "YO CHECK OUT MY SHIT! IT'S DOPE!" Well, maybe it happens and I'm just blind to it.

Anyway, today we have our first example. This jamoke posted this on ughh.com and asked for constructive criticism.



Now, I post there under many aliases because I find it amusing to troll the shit out of kids there when I'm bored. I actually posted in this kids thread as the user FgtShit. As you can see if you go to the thread (I'm not going to link it here, because I will not hand you shit unless it's my music because you're probably going to steal it anyway), I gave him very honest feedback with an eloquent post. I will quote it here for posterity.

"You sound like a Speak and Spell with downs."

Mind you, this isn't the only kid on there that posts garbage like this. There's a whole slew of them, but they actually think that they're good so they won't get any shine here. Fuck them.

Let me explain something to you aspiring "internet rappers". Nine out of ten of you think you're awesome. Nine out of ten of you need to get roundhoused in the larynx. You are not the exception, you are the rule. The rule being "Just because you watched 8 Mile and 100,000 Soul Khan and Iron Solomon battles, doesn't mean you can rap". That is the fucking rule. Learn it, live it, love it, and stay the fuck out of my hip-hop.

Look, I understand you want to be a part of the culture. I understand that you want to think that you're doing something to better the culture. How about this. What the culture needs right now are fans who support the artists they enjoy listening to. The culture doesn't need more bedroom MC's telling me to "CHECK OUT THEIR SHIT BECAUSE IT'S DOPE". So yeah, help the culture. Drop the webcam and the Logitech mic, take a walk to your local music store, and buy some music and show the artists you enjoy listening to some support.

As a PSA by the way, most of the time when a legend "gives you props" after a set or whatever, unless you're actually dope (and let me tell you, you actually know when you're dope or not, I mean if you can't fill a shithole bar that holds 50 people in Suffolk County on your own, that should tell you something), they're just doing it so your feelings don't get hurt. They don't want you to cry yourself to sleep at night because someone you admire and respect tells you that you're fucking terrible. The legends are good people. They don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but sometimes I wish they would so all of you uppity faggots that post your shit on Ughh.com and get shit on and come back with the "I GET PROPS FROM LEGENDS" bullshit would stop. Nevermind the fact that they usually just want to chill after the show and not have every local herb that was on stage that night ask them what they thought of their set.

I think I've said enough for today. Get the fuck out of my face and go get a hug from your mom if this offended you. If it did offend you, then I'm obviously talking about you and in the deep reaches of your soul, while you claim that you're dope, you know... THAT YOU'RE WACK AS FUCK.

Peace.
