buying loops and beats?

[The Overfiend]

that is over the top but it proves that hip hop is about the beats foremost and always has been, especially back in the days when the MC was just someone to big up the crowd or tell the bloke with the blue van to move it out the way :lol:

So not true.
To an extent yes.
But the Mc Was to Move the crowd.
And the reason they charged him 2 mill
is because he is engaged to kelis who is pharrells ex asspiece.
a lil poetic justice.

in the early days the dj and the beats made hip hop what it is. not the MC. why do you think all the DJs were so pissed off when rappers delight came out?

Bro
I was there and I more than lived it
