I see your point and you're correct about it. But I think there's a little nuance in it.

I don't like Weezy. I don't like his music. I think it's crap.

Doesn't mean I don't respect the man for what he has achieved. Same with 50. 50's current day music? Utter shite. But damn is it working for him.

I'm also not gonna judge whether or not that shit is or isn't hiphop, I don't care. I know I don't like it. I got into hiphop way earlier than this shit existed. The "older" hiphop has my preference, definitely, but it's not like I won't accept modern reality. I don't "live in the past". I just don't like most modern (mainstream) hip-hop. There's plenty of modern hip-hop I *do* like, but Jeezy and Wayne and those cats aren't amongst it.

Living in the past isn't good. But being forced into the future isn't either.
Oh for sure. I wasn't trying to tar everyone that that doesn't like Wayne with the same brush. And my personal preference is mid to late 90's hip-hop too, but I'm not desperately clinging to it in the hopes that motherfuckers are gonna start making g-funk and boom bap albums again lol.

I'm just like Duke though I always used to argue that Lil Wayne is not hip-hop. Now I also don't care since there's a shitload of his rap newbie fans going crazy over arguments like that and arguing with that type of people is just pointless. I'm nowhere near living in the 90s (though I love 90s music and style). I listen to a lot of modern hip-hop, I just dislike Lil Wayne, 50 cent and various "pop" rappers like them. I dislike that kind of music. I think of it as of a new genre of music I simply dislike.

Stfu. Wayne and Jeezy are dope.

Serious question, does Weezy really have the thugged out image? I always thought of him as a drugged out mofo. Sorta like the Motley Crue of hip hop. I know my friends see him as the same.

I think the living in the past thing is something the majority of us go through in our teenage years, I know I did. Once I got to the age of 17-18 I grew out of it. I know some people like you Casey, who still live in the past and bitch about life sucking. One thing all of them have in common is that they are all total pot heads/lazy fucks and thats why life sucks for them.

You meant that you know people like that, just like I know people like that?

Cos I don't live in the past. Your choice of wording was ambiguous lol.

It's so easy to blame the internet for your lack of effort into making a relationship work. Nobody says you can't go see them, that you are firewalled from visiting their house. Or making a phone call. If you let the relationship deteriorate into it being a solely electronic relationship, that's your own damn fault, don't blame technology.
If someone adds me on MSN, MySpace, etc. I usually say "Do I know you?" or "Haven't heard from you in forever" and that leads to "We should hang out sometime." If you meet someone in person, and say "We should message each other on MySpace sometime" then that is your fuck up, not Tom's. Nobody made you get a cell phone. Tom didn't create a MySpace for you. You did it yourself. And if you blame your friends for letting the relationship come to this level, pick some better friends. You guys obviously weren't that close anyway because some stranger with a half nude picture is above you on their top friends, anyhow.
"I miss how easy things were when I was a kid when I could pass notes instead of text messaging."
Yeah well you also couldn't get a boner, or drive a car, so make a choice there, Prince Valiant, and shake hands or exchange hugs instead of texting it up.

btw, as far as the internet is concerned, I dont fuck with it. I'd say 90% of my usage (outside school or business) is hip hop related. Other than that.. fuck all that shit.

Sorry no offense to nobody, I dont care to make friend with anybody online, period. No girls, no guys, no weed dealers in my neighbourhood, nothing.

peace :)

I totally don't mean "blaming the internet for having no friends", that's not the purpose of that thread at all.
I mean how it affects other people around - the fact that THEY actually don't need that close real life relationships because of the internet. And by THEY I mean really a lot of people that could pontentially have friends, people who could be friends of yours. Actually it affects most people a bit since it creates a fake feeling of having many friends and thus not spending enough time with a few of your real friends in real life.
I guess that most guys who see that problem usually have their own real friends and are not directly affected by it - but people they know are.
I have to admit that I used to know people that turned "zombie" because of the internet - sitting at home chatting with their 500 e-homies or playing wow.
Especially girls seem to be affected by those community sites. I think it does great for their demand for popularity and need to be complimented.
