Video: Nas Explains Why Rap Isn’t Respected
Rap is probably more respected now than what Nas makes it seem in this clip, but this was definitely the sentiment from the mainstream when it first started. Pay attention because he’s dropping gems.
If you missed Ice-T’s Something From Nothing: The Art of Rap documentary, set your DVR for VH1, this Thursday at 9pm EST.

Yeah because niggas like Drake, Lil B, Riff Raff, Hopsin and plenty other fuck rap niggas are creating such classic and timeless records.
90s >>> Now (Save a few exceptions)

TSS stay posting niggas they don’t life for views.
Rapid post fuckery is worse over there.
The C-Section can be trolled easily at TSS.
Also no life to the TSS c-section, nigga over there have no thoughts.

If they post something, either they like it or they don’t like it & they’re gonna tell you why they don’t like it.

Never. Post get a chance to rock over there. Discussions take place over the course of a day. They don’t just post shit cause everyone else does. Stop it.

Trolls get no burn over there. Ain’t no kids commenting at the Section. Everyone is mature for the most part. And when the occasional asshole gets outta pocket, somebody’s gonna check em. It’s nothing like Nah. No one laughs at the fuckery. That’s not what that spots about. When I wanna spout some off the wall shit, I come here lol.
Also no life to the TSS c-section, nigga over there have no thoughts.

Why, because they talk about what’s actually going on in the post??
Fuck ya life nigga.
That’s my squad.

Paid for by the good folks @ Complex.com
And I fuck with Complex & the affiliates. But if that ain’t corporate, what is?
Complex is based outta NY. They have access to everything.
But they don’t have writers anywhere near as good as The Section.
The Section might have linked up with Uproxx but so what? Were they supposed to stay on blogspot? The site grew so they expanded.
TSS is the best Hip-Hop Culture spot on the web.
Who better? Hip Hop DX?
Fuck outta here

Nah, I’d lurked/comment during the rise of Lil B. Not a TSS nigga fucked with him but yet they still helped based gawd eat by posting his every youtube video or link to his mixtapes.
At Least eskay doesn’t dick ride niggas he don’t like.

Nope its rapid posting all day every day at TSS. TSS is late to the show most of the time too. They’ll only post an artist only after nah, rapradar, cocaine blunts, fader, pitchfork, fake shore drive, worldstar, complex and twitter have discover them.

Bull shit. I’ve down trolled a few niggas over there. Everyone types like their over 35. Which is lame. You need a good mix.

Sometime they do stay on topic, posting stupid comments on the subject tho. Nothing near close to nah.
Choke and gag on your boyfriends cock fuck nigga.
b’s life of backpage and loss is a better alternative to yours.
Your squad? Why take joy for riding the bench for a bunch of homos and fuck boys?

I never been to many of them other sites
I only comment here n scroll MTO, Wshh and insta comments some good laughs
Ms info used to be sight before I discovered nah when cam was comin out wit crime pays and Ross v 50 beef etc
September 11th, 2012 at 9:11 pm
I’d rather ride the bench on a winning squad then score 40 on a team that’ll never make the playoffs.
The Smoking Section was the first spot I found on the web that I really fucked with, before I knew what a Nah Right or a Complex was.
I must’ve lurked for months before ever dropping a comment, just soaking it all up (and downloading wild amounts of bootleg albums).
I respect each & every one of the people involved in making that site do what it do as well as the cats who drop gems in the comment section on a daily basis.
The Smoking Section is the shit. Point blank period. Case closed.
I’m a ride for my squad, so eat a dick & fart out a cum bubble.

Cause they don’t post to be first, they post when they have something to say.
And alot of shit they post isn’t on anyone’s radar at all. Shit be outta left field.
Like say…..Freddie Gibbs.
First light he got online was on TSS.
You got professionals with lives behind the scenes, not a team of freakazoids who just up what gets dropped in the inbox.
What’s the sense in being first when every other site is gonna post the same shit?

Niggas don’t even know you over there doggy.
“If you say you a killer niggas’ll ask you who did you off”
Everyone types like their over 35. Which is lame. You need a good mix.

Wrong again. There’s a wide range of ages that comment there.
They don’t type like they’re over 35. They comment like they got some sense.

My name ain’t Chris Bosh nigga.
And money ain’t everything.
I haven’t received dollar one for anything related to music or blogging.
I waste hours bullshitting in here & at The Section because I like chopping it up with the regs.
And occasionally we talk about the music, something I love & I do online & offline.
Ask my niggas & they’ll tell you how I’m the last nigga in the hood still screaming “50 is still relevant” or how no matter how much they clown I still play Danny Brown at obscene levels or who was trying to put them on to Freddie Gibbs before Jeezy ever heard of him.
I was buying The Source, XXL, The Vibe, Blaze, Rap Pages, Murder Dog & every other Hip-Hop publication I could find back when I was 14, 15.
And when I couldn’t afford em all I went to Barnes & Nobles & spent hours reading em.
And if it was a good issue, that shit went home with me.
So it ain’t about money to me. I love Hip-Hop & being able to say some shit & get instant feedback from someone who’s a Hip-Hop nerd just like me.
That’s all there is to it.

Is was difficult to get people to take hip hop seriously before. Rappers in the mid 80s to 90s showed that they could make masterpieces of music too and then the internet blew up and it all went to shit. Now anybody can try to rap. Shit is a joke now.
