Producer Mr. Collipark discussed the state of Black music in an interview with DJ Smallz Eyes.
“This is what done made me mad for real,” he says. “You brought it out of me. Black music has been fucked. It’s raped. It’s whored out from the core.”
The Ying Yang Twins and Soulja Boy producer says that lack of record sales prove his point that true talent is being compromised for money. Hip Hop CD sales dropped nearly 30% in 2014.
He says that now, everyone wants to make a quick profit.
“Let’s take these non-talented, non-rapping, non-singing, everybody else who got a check, they can come take care of business,” he says. “This is at the bottom of the barrel. That’s the music that starts filtering up. And now, you’ve got in-disposable music that then takes this motherfucker nothing to go into the studio to record. That’s why they can put out so much of it. They can put this shit out (snaps).”
To contrast this cycle, Mr. Collipark uses D’Angelo as an example of true artistry because of the length of time and amount of effort he puts forth in his music. The producer offers a solution to the problem.
“I hope Black music gets to a point to where it has to shit out all the bad,” he says. “Everybody need to go get day jobs. If you’re really a mechanic, but you’re doing some shit in music that you finagled your way into, you need to go fix cars again. Shit out everybody who doesn’t love music. If you don’t love music, don’t be in it.”
Watch the full interview below:
When the pot calls the kettle… when you sell yourself short by contributing to the downgrade you get upset when no one is buying from you. You go to lengths to distort public memory. In layman’s terms you had everything to do with the downfall. It’s time to get a 9 to 5.
“Let’s take these non-talented, non-rapping, non-singing, everybody else who got a check, they can come take care of business,” says the Soulja Boy and Ying Yang Twins producer.
but nigga didnt you sign SOULJA BOY???
Yo wtf..at first i thought it was one of them Dungeon Family cats at was like Bet, bout time they speak out and then i read and its this soulja boy fuck???? GTFOH and go kill urself. I thought Didy talkin that shit was the lowest but damn this takes the cake
not that i feel this way now, but back in the day, these were the dudes “killin” hip hop. It goes to show that rhetoric is just that, rhetoric.
Is this a comedy skit? The guy responsible for Soulja Boy actually said this shit?
hes responsible for his beats not his career retard
actually soulja boy made his own beats he signed that nigga and is responsible for his career
Mr Collipark was part of the destruction of black music so him of all people should be in silence he got alot to pay for
I agree. K Dot and J Cole made rap pop and sold it as hiphop like the frauds they are.
Are you retarded? K-Dot and J Cole ARE making hip-hop music. How are they making pop music and how is their music pop? They’re not frauds, Drake and Nicki are since they’re the ones making pop music.
How did K Dot and Cole make rap pop? They’re both rappers who rap over hip-hop beats and they actually bring real lyricism. Their music is hip-hop ro the core. You can’t categorize their music as pop since their music sounds more Tupac than Sam Smith.
I don’t have to answer your question retards.
Because you can’t come up with any evidence or proof to back up your idiotic statements. Who’s the real retard now?
He is correct but is also a hypocrite. I mean the guy produced for Soulja Boy, do I have to say anymore?
mr collipark brought you all TRANSLEE too, the most lyrical rapper in the south, but nobody jumped on him like ying yang twins and souljah boy…he’s a business man but he took a gamble on some REAL hip hop…look TRANSLEE up on youtube and worldstar; stop waiting to be spoon fed real hip hop
THE IRONY, HE PRODUCED SOULJA BOY AND YING YANG TWINS. ACTUALLY, YING YANG ARE MORE CREATIVE THAN THE GUYS THAT MAKE THEM RADIO/CLUB SONGS RIGHT NOW.
Dude has produced for Soulja boy, so he’s part of the problem…..
We live and we learn.
