Biggie Smalls was one of hiphop’s most prolific artist. It would be interesting if we could have his persective on today’s artist and music. I wonder how Biggie would feel about today’s generation of mumble rappers or today’s drill movement.
Biggie came from the streets of battle rapping vs today’s artist believe that the battles should be on online apps and hiphop sites. Biggie had the incredible skill of story telling off the top of his head vs today’s artist of just stringing together twitter rants and then calling them songs. Has hiphop lost its way in the area of creativity? Maybe. HipHop has become a style of microwave music that really only communicates to segment markets in wayS that make it difficult others to understand their little fun language ( sort of like pig Latin on steroids...) HipHop has become tribe inclusive but market exclusive (and that by itself kills the money for artist...) At the end of the day “rent to own fame” is exactly that RENT TO OWN.
And Being the artist Biggie was: Talent Mattered” Like I said, this would be an interesting conversation.
Remember “there’s nothing wrong with the music business that good music can’t cure...”
