Buckshot & 9th Wonder Interview

I read this great interview of Buckshot & 9th Wonder at OnSmash.Com
9th Wonder speaks on how Hip-Hop today is so separated.
Here is a little preview of it.

9th: Yes, that’s nuts. So when you’re looking at four generations of music even with the generation right behind us. [They were raised on] Master P, early crunk, when the Dirty South really started to jump, that generation is really different than the hipsters behind them. They [the pre-hipsters] look at it as black and white. Like “that’s commercial and that’s underground.” Them hipster kids? No sir. Like my boys M1 Platoon like everything from Lil’ Boosie to Madlib. I think hip-hop is coming back to a point, it’s not going to be a point over whether you’re over-ground or underground, it’s not going to matter if you’re from Atlanta or New York, it’s not going to matter if you’re from Chicago or LA, it’s getting back to the point where it’s going to be “are you hot or are you wack?” That’s how our generation was. We didn’t care where you were from, we didn’t care what you were talking about. Where you hot or where you wack, period? Artists of hip-hop, like back in the early ‘90’s like the dude Candy Man “Knocking the Boots.” Everybody liked that song. We liked that song but everybody liked “Shook Ones” by Mobb Deep. Look at the videos that were played. All videos were played, it wasn’t like of “you’re videos had to look this way, you got to be talking about this and that.” Nah, we had a wide array of videos from KMD’s “Peach Fuzz” to Kurious “Walk Like a Duck” man we had a wide array of videos that were crazy. They were all different areas of the country. Now it’s all linear. I think the hipster generation is gonna change that.
