    Did anyone realize that at the beginning, joey trades in his nikes (the nike box) and at the end he opens the nike box up and there is a microphone. Relating to his line from Daily Routine "Traded in my Nikes for a new mic, i guess its safe to say he sold his sole(soul) for his new life.". Joey is a god damn genius.

      King Capital Hip-Hop kind of is still dying though. At least the image that is portrayed of it. If you ask a random person on the street what is Hip-Hop majority of the time they will answer with people like Drake, Migos, Fetty Wap, etc., and believe its a disrespectful genre that's only about drugs, sex, money, and possessions. Big ups to the people you listed for constantly trying to revive the true essence of the genre though, but this far into the game it's going to take a long time before that image is changed.

    • @OhhJayL
      @OhhJayL 9 років тому +5

      How can you ever compare people like that, apart from possibly Kendrick and Cole (with Mick Jenkins added to that list), to Rakim, Easy E, Ice Cube, Wu Tang and all of the individual artists (apart from U-God, fuck that nigga), Mobb Deep, Nas, Pac, Biggie, Redman etc the list could go on for years. Hip hop is definitely dying, granted the original standard was never going to be exceeded, but when people like Migos, Chief Keef and OG Maco sell hundreds of thousands there is no argument against it.
