Hip hip hop anonymous1/30/2024 ![]() ![]() So do we want to do that cycle again? Do we want to go out here and inform the next generations?ĭid you see the recent article about people using A.I. And let’s respect them, let’s love them, keep them pushing, let’s keep them going. ![]() So it’s like, now let’s get back to the art, and let’s marvel at the art and the artists. So a question would be, do we want to go back through that cycle or do we want to just keep it real? Because the industry did a number on hip-hop, because people started chasing money and people started dying, all kinds of things. Now that we’ve done pretty much a 360 where hip-hop has gone from having nothing to having everything and then now we are back to people not prioritizing making, they just want to get back into the art of things. But I rock with a lot of new artists.Īs we head towards the next 50, what do you think are some of the biggest questions that the community can ask themselves as we head towards the future? You got trap and drill and all these different subgenres of hip-hop, but I prefer just to straight boom bap off of vinyl, the purest form of hip-hop music. Speaking of Hip-Hop 50, what do you think about the state of hip-hop right now? We just trying to keep it alive, hip-hop 50 world and beyond. We got a bunch of dudes that told me they would be coming, my fellow producers.

Watts, he’s an artist that came out from the south, and he had the idea of bridging the South and New York. So now we going around and we making moves with that, hitting the stage with it and getting the crowd’s feedback, and yo, it’s dope so far. Instead of just recording it and putting it out, we’ve recorded it, and we hit the road with it. We taking a different approach with this album. And also working on a project with my man, Raw Wattage. And I just recently dropped a project with my man Nick the Exotic called Extra Exotic, and that came out maybe a year or two ago. So I got the new and the old, just the whole spectrum of hip-hop. I got some joints with my man Al Skratch. Right now, I’m currently working on a compilation album where a lot of the new up-and-coming artists that I like, like a female artist named Stahr from Atlanta. We definitely call each other on the phone and bug out, but one day maybe we’ll party together. Do y’all often do things to celebrate together? I saw that DJ Premier’s birthday as well. Yeah, we’ve done it before at a party called Mobile Mondays, and it’s just New York celebrating a hip-hop dude, just trying to keep the hip-hop vibe alive and keep it potent. What gave you the idea to do a set for your birthday?
