The other day I got back into listening to old school hip hop on internet radio. Anyway I’m reminded why I don’t like them or how they sound, it’s more annoying than anything else. It’s like rap for white people. Compared to standup acts like Public Enemy, Eazy E, KRS One or Digital Underground.
Idk I feel like calling them rap for white people is a bit unfair. The only person I’ve ever seen say anything bad about them is Just-Ice, they seem pretty well respected by their contemporaries, nothing that would suggest some sort of Vanilla Ice situation. I mean regardless of your thoughts on their music lol, not arguing that you have to like them.
I get that, it’s a me problem then I suppose.
I mean I get what you’re saying. Their first album especially is very joke-y and frat-y. Like there’s no doubt listening to it that this is rap music made by a bunch of white boys. But there’s a lot of manufactured white people rap out there and the beasties seem genuine. And as I say nearly all of their contemporaries give them respect which I think is big.
