DJ Khalid vs. Flo Rida

This is a TRUE STORY, NO BULLSHIT! I was watchin my weekly 30 minute dosage of MTV Jams yesterday (these are times when I should probably be doing something else besides watching tv, but its always helpful knowing what's new in the world of the urban Pop scene) and after watching a string of David Banner videos, they had one of those 'Hoodfab' where they have that unusually lookin light skin dude, Buttaman askin Hip Hop trivia to a random person and a Rap Star. The episode I happened to watch actually featured two personalities, DJ Khalid and Flo-Rida. So Buttaman, begins askin the q's which have been rediculously been dumbed down since the earlier years of the segment. I remember when they wouls ask things like "Who was the first female rapper to go gold" and "What does 'GURU' stand for?" (Kanye actually missed that one! I don't really wanna hold it against him, but c'mon Yay?!) Questions of those difficulty would stump a pretty knowledgeable Hip Hop fan, but Buttaman was askin these fools shit like "What Cash Money recording artist was featured on the song 'Duffle Bag Boy'"? and "What are the names of the rappers in the group The Clipse?" That was asked to DJ Khalid and it took him almost 5-10 seconds to remember Malace after quickly naming Pusha-T. DJ Khalid ALSO had trouble answering the question "What Hip Hop artist put out an album entitled "Speakerboxx/The Love Below", trust me, I was as speechless as you are right now. Now here's the sad part... He asked Flo-Rida "Which artist sang the hook on Ol' Dirty Bastards single "Got Your Money" and had a single called "Milkshake"? This mufucka couldn't NAME THAT SHIT!! Thats not all! DJ Khalid was then asked "Who was the producer of the Hip Hop crew "The Juice Crew?" If he had trouble with the other two questions, theres no way he was gonna get that one, and to no suprise, this cat didn't know that shit. Then they asked Flo Rida the same question, and he didn't have a cleu either! I mean...GODDAM! By no means am I a Hip Hop snob, or one of those cats that think they know everything, but there's no excuse for that shit. He may run the streets, but he GOTTA know his history in the game that's made his success. I'm pretty sure that LeBron James knows who Michael Jordan is, or that LaDainian Tomlinson knows who Jim Brown is...It's not askin alot to know about some of the FOREFATHERS OF HIP HOP! Just a couple would be nice. I'm not dissin anyone who doesn't know, but if you're gonna bank of it, you should take time to learn the rules, and take time to give back to the game that made you what you are! It says alot about the state of Hip Hop when the number 1 DJ in the country doesn't know who Marly Marl is, or when the artist with a huge hit single doesn't know who Kelis is. I never thought a harmless, lighthearted segment shown on MTV2 would not only expose these "Hip Hop stars" for not knowin a damn thing, but would show what the state of Hip Hop music has become in 2008.
