To those of you that were here: what way Y!A like before there was a Rap section?

i know some of yall were here before there was a rap section...how long ago was this added?...what section did you belong b4 the rap section?...and of course were the people in that section as cool as us?

i was here and bob will give you the history of hip hop questioning and answering on here.

First there was no specific music catergorys and all music was talked about in the "Music" section. There was rarely any questions about hip hop asked ,probobly about 1 every 2 pages, and then 80% of the answers on those questions would be "rap is crap" or "Rap sucks" or "rap glorifys crime, degrading women and drug use". Plus on top of that some o fhte questions were not worth answering.

Then in feburary they created individual music genre sections and the Rap section was born. For the first week there was actually quite a few decent questions and then for about 4-6 months every other question + answer in the rap section was about Lil Wayne.

Then more people who knew lots about hip hop started coming and then there was a good amount of serious questions being asked.

Then the serious peps plus the lil wayne peps started fighting and reporting each others answers.

Then people started rap battling

Then i got a job at a strip club and stopped coming for a couple of months.

Then here we are today.

And we all lived happily ever after, the end.

It's odd because I'm an OG on this site. Check me out. I've been here since this site was created. But I didn't find out about this section til after. Much after.

I used to be everywhere. Just fiending for questions.
I've even turned rap haters to rap lovers.
That takes finesse. Lol.

i wasnt there either......i think when i started using this section there were like 7-10 regulars, people dependable to ask good questions + good responses

i bet their was haters though

And no one had found these kinds of articles either.

ive bin here since agezz but i only discovered the rap section after like monthsss i was always in the singles & dating section or the football section....then the rap section randomly appeared, was good for a while then all them haters came along wit the same old 'would you class rap as even music because i dont think it is' sh!t...&& it did my head in so i just stayed at the footie section....its great now tho you guys have sorted em out i see.....congrats...

R/HH section was added in May of this year not Feb...before that it was "Music" and "Other Muisc" or "Other Entertainment"...there were a few questions that pertained to R/HH and maybe some R&B but not many....I didn't belong to a particular section, just answered questions in sections I have knowledge on--but the majority of my answers are in the music section---There are some cool people in R/HH , don't know them like that though, just a few I know who were regs from the gate---Stopped answering for a few months because the questions were asked by too many lil' Similacs about Lil' Wayne this and He the best rapper alive that---people that were asking decent questions or had some real knowledge about the game left too-- I don't see them on here anymore....that LW garbage and just plain dumb @ questions irritated many and ran away some true R/HH heads ...
