I personally don't think anything ruins hiphop. I just think there is different kinds of hiphop. I thought that was kind of obvious, but many people don't see it. There are those that are actual skilled emcees that make dope music. There are those that aren't very good emcees that make good music. There are those that rap about killing people, cars and jewlery and there are those that rap about politics and shit like that. There is the really mainstream sounding music. There is the underground type sounding music. There is the laid back, chill type of music like Justus League and all of them. I could go on forever. Some shit just isn't for everyone. Does that mean it's whack? Absolutely not. I don't think 50 is the best rapper in the world, but I listen to his music because he makes good music. That's my opinion.
I wouldn't say anything ruins it, I would just say different people listen to different things. Although you might not like certain people, you can't really hate on them for listening to those people. You can laugh and whatever, but don't hate on them. You aint ever gonna find people that like the same exact shit, it just won't happen. I think the sooner people realize all of this, the sooner the fights end and we all start having some good music discussion.
