Conversate For A Few Hip Hop Podcast No Fridays For Me

Few Tang!!! I ain't gone talk y'all heads off. Keysha McDougal, The Hip Hop Mom, of  @s2tmedia38  Straight II Tape Podcast, inspired this episode. She posed a question online. She asked "What's the best Hip Hop opening line of all time?"...I don't know if we can tell what THE best opening line is (actually, I think I can), but I DO know we can tell you what's on OUR best opening line list. So let's get to i! Make room for the tag...#ConversateForAFew

FEW TANG CLAN!!! Welcome to the Terrordome! Nobody on the planet can possibly hate AI more than Drake right now. And Biggie is likely throwing ice down from Heaven trying to melt down AI servers. Artificial Intelligence is still novelty for many. The music industry though?!?! You better believe they're taking it seriously. To say Ai technology is moving quickly is a gross understatement, as evidence of impending, irreparable impact, is beginning to show. It feels a bit like the Napster era on a steroids, HGH, cocaine, molly and angel dust cocktail; with some crack sprinkled on top. The conversation is far more informative than the description would lead you to believe. We hope you enjoy listening to the convo as much as we enjoyed having it.

FEW TANG CLAN! Dreamville Fest came and went. Some people had fun. Some people had work to do. And of course, some people had opinions. I heard quite a few complaints from various, seemingly unconnected people. The two issues I heard mentioned most were the lack of NC artist on the Dreamville Fest stage, and the lack of NC artists signed to Dreamville. Let's just say I met those opinions with resistance. We talked about my passionate online convo on this episode. I wanna say so much that I'm not going to write anything. I think we get it all out on the show.

Few Tang!!! We saw evidence of it during the VERZUZ between The Lox and Dipset. If you were at Dreamville Fest or watched it on Amazon, we saw evidence when comparing Lil Durk's appearance and J.I.D.'s performance...I could name myriad examples, but I'm talking about the difference between a mere recording artist and a real emcee. It's rare to find a "popular" artist that performs a show WITHOUT a backing track. These bums are rapping over the lyrics they're supposed to be reciting. I don't know about y'all, but I'm not paying to SEE you while listening to the same exact song the play on the radio. I'm paying to see you PERFORM the song. Sadly, that's a dying art. We think they are several reasons emceeing is fading. We realize there's a clear line of delineation between a recording artist and an emcee. And we used this conversation to unpack it all. We hope y'all enjoy this convo as much a we did. Dig in! But FIRST...Make room for the tag. #ConversateForAFew

Few Tang Clan! Our music, our art, our beloved Hip Hop is under attack. The machines are COMING! Matter of fact, they're HERE! Artificial Intelligence is mimicking our favorite artists. No samples, no REAL use of an artist's voice. However, songs are being created that sound just like Eminem, Jay-Z, Lil Uzi Vert, Kendrick Lamar...anyone you can think of really. What does this mean for the music industry? What is Library of Congress doing about copyright laws? How will all of this work? We get into it. Dig in! But FIRST!

FEW TANG CLAN!!! We got pissed off this week. They out here playing reindeer games with the culture. We stumbled across a vile example of appropriation. And you know us. We ALWAYS find a way to spin things into a conversation with a more broad or global view. We wanted to get to the bottom of what makes a culture vulture and who fits that description.
