Do you equate Hip Hop listenership with shady activity?

[beats me]

I was just thinking I didn't produce anything worth a shit in 2009. I guess this thread is worth mentioning. Any ideas on how to market it?

This thread is depressing
When people say hip hop or rap, they really mean black right?

No actually not... theres lots of great black styles out there.. maybe long ago hip hop was one

but hip hop is mainstream now and the lyrics are all over this talking about myself stuff.. pretty close to wanking n some ways..

public enemy was great thou back in the 80´s.. they had something to say, and an own unique sound...but since than? gangster rap? pimps and bitches?
is that really black? i hope not

and the struggle continues

Of the gigs I've organized over the past year, the only time I had any problems was when we had a DJ playing hip-hop. I'm taking broken chairs, tables, people getting into fights and TAGS ON MY SPEAKERS.

Suffice to say I will never work with hip hop artists in future...

Am I alone in this "I must be old/kids today" paranoia?

hell no! it's very real

we got some of those in our neighborhood too. We also got these neighbors who like to blast sinatra and martin while sipping cheap wine on their porch. it becomes a mob-fest when these scary looking fat men in jogging suits start showing up 2 and 3 at a time. friggin annoying as hell. That is until my other neighbor starts blasting his reggaeton like he's trying to outdo the other. before you know it the front of his house is lined with booty shaking latinas hanging on blinged-out dudes yelling some foreign crap. But that only encourages bubba over across the way, who's a bit strange with a crazy look in his eye and always with a big-ass dixie flag flying from the back of his pickup. that's when the billy ray shit starts up... OMG! I hate this neighborhood
