TRADIN' WAR STORIES WITH DAVE HOUSE - "HATERS VS. YES MEN"
We, in Hip Hop, are always saying
Big Up to the Haters, or I would like to acknowledge the haters. I suggest that
if we acknowledge haters we MUST acknowledge the YES MAN. In my opinion, the
Yes Man is more dangerous than the Hater. The Yes Men will never be honest or
courageous enough to tell us when we are doing something wrong. If the yes man
was a dj, for the right price, the yes man will play “Do the Grand Wizard” from
KKK Music Group on Malcolm X’s birthday at a club in Harlem. If the Yes Man is
in the artist entourage, the Yes man will have the artist outside with his
pants down nervous and in a tight situation, if the yes man’s paycheck depended
on it. Moral of the story is, for the years I’ve seen the hater graduate from
being the “Player-hater” and morphing into a cancer that will ruin Hip Hop that
clearly blocks options for Hip Hop Fans. Fans must like what the majority likes
(Yes Men) or stand out (Haters). It is clear that the word HATE, today, means
to have total disregard for honest opinion. This creates a formatted culture
that won’t allow the artist, the dj, the fan, and everyone else to be his or
herself. This allows music trends to stick to ONE FORM, leaving no room for
diversity and creativity.
THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE
Hip Hop Music
Should not be treated like its a voter registration, a political campaign trail
for artist that need votes on Tuesday (album release day), or the culture
should not be treated as if to say the fans and the dj’s can only have one
option. I grew up in a time where I can be from the East Coast and still rap
NWA while my classmates were into Rakim and the Juice Crew. At the time they
was Nice & Smooth, De La Soul, Geto Boys, and a host of ther rappers and
options to choose from that every one’s sound was dope in its own unique
fashion. Today, every rapper pops bottles in the club, has exotic women, smokes
the finest weed, and has all the money that can balance the economy. In
addition, every rapper harmonizes tunes so the ladies can groove to it to the
point where even the ladies is asking where are the real men, and the real
music. We came a long way since “Ain’t No Fun If the Homeys can’t Have None”.
If there hasn’t been a better time
to break new music, it is now. Why because what makes the DJ unique is his own
individuality. If everyone is playing the same record, then how is the DJ in
California different from the DJ in New York. Why should the audience go to
your club when I went to the same club last week and its the same records the
dj is playing. Why should the audience bother to listen to the radio when
Pandora they can become their own radio station, like they have done with the
ipod. The only reason why Radio will still be around is because radio can
always “fall back” and scream “Community awareness” we are for people engaging
with people. But in reality today’s radio station only cares about advertisers
who spend the money and the community is considered “numbers” not people.
All this to say, if we are going to
acknowledge Haters, we must equally call for the downfall of the Yes Men. To
define the Yes man is to take notice to those who actually support you to the
point where they are not honest enough to give you an opinion that may enhance
your career. Yes Men are the reason why rappers have to sing now and have
cornball hooks for choruses which leaves nothing artistic comes from the heart
genuinely. PT Barnum, of the famed Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey
Circus, said that profit could be made when you capitalize on the ignorance of
your audience. Once the audience start talking like how I’m typing, that means
they caught on and are not ignorant anymore which will hurt all of our pockets.
Lets capitalize by remaining innovative and shoot down the Hater and the Yes
Men….. #WHW
