Hip-Hop Heads Are Too Obsessed With Being Old School
29 JulWhy in hip-hop is old somehow considered better? Funny thing is, hip-hop heads think this idea to be unique upon the culture and wear it like a fucking badge demanding respect. Respect the skill set upon the timing and setting, not just the years clocked or the encyclopedic knowledge of mid-90s hip-hop and breaks. This idea of ‘old school’ resembles the trappings of many other cultures and musics. Think about that dude with a mullet rocking his favorite high school band which happens to be White Snake. What I’m trying to say is, i barely respect the idea of ‘old school’ because the only reason i love(d) hip-hop and even identify(ied) in anyway with hip-hop culture is its courage to be something different and bold. I hope to hell being identified as hip-hop doesn’t leave me where the term ‘old metal head’ or ‘hair rocker’ left its peeps. Go be something more than fucking ‘old’ and quit high-fiving each other for being it. #TheRealProblemWithHipHop
