Whoever wrote is this must be a hater!

Yeah, that word and term “hater” has literally murdered the true essence of hip hop, and in turn ushered in a wave of wack ass mc’s. And only a dumb ass cant see that!

Check the second verse of my song “Whatuwannado” I wrote that back in 99 so you’re kinda late with this story buddy.

hahahahahahahahahahahaha

just like the “no homo”, “thats so gay” and all of those other over used sayings…. about time somebody took an effort to write about this.

I COULD NOT AGREE WITH THIS ARTICLE MORE!!! THIS IS THE BEST ARTICLE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON HERE LOL… I WAS JUST TALKING TO MY MOM ABOUT THIS THE OTHER DAY. THIS IS REAL.

CRUNKMINISTRIES.COM
MYSPACE.COM/GENERATIONCRUNK

man about time someone spoke the truth.

im thinkin the guy who wrote this must be a hater themselves..get over yourself

I have been blogging on this for years good job. this is wonderful

God knows i am a hater, and i agree with this article in SPIRIT ONLY. To place the blame of the state of hiphop on Hater’s and hatin’ ect ect , is greatly diminishing the role that the ability to market and sell this bulls**t to WHITE TEENAGERS and our own DUMB ass young people (not all our young ones , just the dummies with no idea what taste is). This is the era of watered down , DUMBED DOWN, pop-hop. Go to any 7out of 10 blackplanet pages and listen to the music that pops up.

Black Planet, Black Planet, Black Planet. What the F*$! ?
No offense, but B.E.T. is getting wack as hell now a days, and for you to use someone from B.E.T. ta talk about ‘hating’? Thats not a good look. You, BlackPlanet, are in a leauge your own, PLEASE dont use a underdog to try to boost your cred. Thanking you

ahhhhh i love da haterz…. hate hate hate

Thank YOU! someone finally spoke on this media wise. I dont like A LOT of different ish and i know it doesnt make me a hater…today whenever you oppose anything youre automatically a ‘hater’…its not hating its just voicing an opinion…and another word i cant stand is ‘ghetto’…you cant even take ya garbage out with house shoes on now and someone isnt calling you ‘ghetto’…wtf??? how did we let IGNORANT people with catch words/phrases take over???

silky johnson player hater of the year 2002..omfg…man i miss dave chapelle

THE WORLD SEEMS TO FOLLOW THE SOCIAL NORMS OF SOCIETY BUT I CREATE MY OWN AND BY THE WAY I AGREE LIL WAYNE IZ THE WORST RAPPER ALIVE CUZ JUS CUZ U POPULAR DONT MAKE U HOT…

usually the people that can’t argue valid points are the ones that use the bailout term “hater..hata”

some of you people who disagree with this blog are clearly madd becuz they put Lil Wayne as one of the worst rappers alive..thats the main reason why most of you are hating..lol..on the writer of this blog, like i said dont diss it if you cant take it…

Are they the worst rapper because of their songs or reps. Hip Hop is dead to me because there’s no fun to it anymore. All rappers are just angry, about what? i don’t know. And the article is weak not because i like any of those cats cause i don’t even listen to rap, iv’e become disinterested. The article is weak because hating does not have anything to do with opinion as much as tryin to talk about someone’s success when they are actually sucessful. Like when people were saying Mary J could not sing yeah that’s hating to me. its cool to say you dont like a song but to say she can’t sing is far from the truth. So im hating on the writer of this blog cause i dont think you can write, but it is my preference not to like something right, don’t know ya so i can’t say i dont like ya, but im very impartial to your writing skills. Very weak attempt my friend. I hate to hate but your a hater. That word will go away when you go away.

Its the MEDIA that keeps the term HATER alive…thats all I am going to say.

lmao @ silky johnson

Please do Andreas hale a favor and don’t post anymore of his blogs, he’s an idiot and so are you for posting it. He sounds like someone completely out of touch about what black slang is. Tell him to stop tryin to be black just cause he’s black over at BET. He would be a black white person where im from, and you call that a rant its more like a white yuppie blowing off steam DUDE!

Before there was “hater”, there was “uncle tom”. After hater negroes are going to invent a new word that makes it easy to be lazy. And any time you mention anything about a black entertainer these hoes will get tight. They all live in a fantasy world where lil wayne actually wants them and not the next famous female who actually has something to offer him. In life you learn that if anyone doesn’t already know something, they don’t deserve to know. You try to teach black people anything and they will hate you for it. You try to tell them about something they are doing wrong and they will attack you. Best to just let em die slow than say anything to em. Try it people, see how it works!

FIRST OFF F**K URBAN DAILY. AINT NOBODY WAS HATING. WE WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT WE DIDNT LIKE THE S**T YALL WAS WRITING ABOUT AND IT WAS A F**KING WASTE OF TIME. YALL CANT COME UP WITH NOTHING BETTER THAN OTHER S**T LIKE O IS THIS RACIST AND DO YOU THINK OBAMA CHICKEN WAS RACIST AND STUPID S**T LIKE THAT. I SEE NOW YOUR FEELINGS WAS HURT. ALL NIGGAS WAS TRYING TO DO WAS HELP YALL F**KING ASS AND NOW YOU HAVE A F**KING GRUDGE ON STUPID S**T LIKE HATERS KILLED HIP HOP. IF HIP HOP HAS HATERS THEN HIP HOP WOULD BE ALIVE CAUSE HATER IS HATING ON THEM FOR A REASON. YOU JUST F**KING MAD CAUSE YALL GETTING LAZY OVER THERE AND NOW YOU WANT TO LET PEOPLE KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. YO ON SOME REAL S**T YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT THAN JUST SITTING THERE CRYING ABOUT THE STUPID S**T YOU DO THEN THINK YOU GOING TO GET GOOD COMMENTS ON IT. EVERYBODY DONT HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE STUPID S**T YALL PULL UP. GET THE F**K OUT OF HERE WITH THAT CRYING S**T.

-KOSTCO-

NOW CRY ABOUT THAT B***H!

?

Amen to this article. Can’t seem to even voice an opinion any more without people getting sensitive about it. Considering what this generation is, it’s all built on the “Lemmings Mentality.” No one wants to be original any more and if you are, your ideas will be violently opposed. I’d rather speak my mind and be alone than follow the crowd and look stupid and the sad part is… only the people with little to no intelligence use the word “hater”

1st off i would like to thank god all mighty for given everybody soooo much and me so little….hate,hate,hate,hate!

Kudos to whom ever wrote this piece!!

i got my opinions and every one should have they own thats different or similar to mines. we are all alike but different in so many ways. DIVERSITY. I never liked the word hater. call me a hater ima call you a lame. Lames follow what others do. be a leader. pick your own style , ya own character, stop using every new word that pops up in the next plies or lil boosie cd.

I dont know about you but I already vomit over the word hater…wait wait I’m trying to hold my cookies down….alright I’m good.

I get so sick of hearing “Aww you just a hater” every time I say I’m! I can be like “I dont like peanut butter cookies but I like oreos”…”Awww you hatin on peanut butter cookies dude!” >__> Makes me effin sick.

KUDOS TO WHOEVER WROTE THIS PIECE!

in 2009 “hater” means you’re not a sheep……….f**k following the crowd kuz most of em are dumbasses anyway………and these rappers need to stay they game up man…..i know 10 year olds that can freestyle betta than these niggas sound on their albums !!!

I’m already stating that this will be my longest post ever on these forums. And you should read it.

Now, I am a very picky and opinionated music enthusiast. If you only knew how I rate and determine what kind of music (especially Hip Hop) that I listen to then I might very well fit into the “hater” category. But I don’t have any disdain for the word ‘hater”. It’s just another word that has been watered down and applied by the lowest common denominator. For example, the word “ghetto” now applies to anything of lesser value. I hear white people using it in reference to anything not up their own standards. The same thing applies to “hater”. But know this, the world is FULL of haters…negative people w/ negative energy some of which will post on this VERY same forum. But to imply the a WORD or the idealism behind a WORD ruined a whole genre of music is…well, dumb as s**t. And probably should have paraphrased this post to that sentence. Oh well.

The word hater is the nigga equal the goverment ballout plan they just say that s**t to get people to see it there way I dont think that messed hiphop tho peoples taste in music did there’s a buyer and a seller sumone has to be a fan for it to be mainstream

(on a side note) people like listening to niggas talk about s**t that you dont got how they would take your girl and kick down your door wat if lil wayne did f**k your girl and wat if gucci did rob you that s**t aint fun no more because there is niggas that will really do that s**t

YOU ARE REFLECTION OF YOUR ACTIONS

WOW I agree. If I hear the word hater or the word swag come from another person, I will choke em!!!!

Interesting article and thought. Never really thought much into the word, but definitely agree with the negativity that comes nowadays when one does not approve in something that others do, such as hip hop. Not sure if “hater” killed hip hop but hip hop sure is dead, but can come alive when artist that are originally stick to there guns and the consumers respect and support them. Let’s do that, instead of supporting ignorant songs and artist that have no purpose or meaning. Many of them listed in the photos above. To God Be The Glory.

Just to be clear, most times when a person’s comment is basically “this isn’t news” that person has a very different idea of what is newsworthy than the ideas expressed by the medium from which they read it. But this particular article is outdated and un-needed. I blogged extensively about the term hater and how it’s dumbing down, not just opinions on music but our society as a whole, way back in 2006. As you stated, this is an entertainment website, so you might want to go back and check the articles posted by your co-workers and predecessors because like most things that are deemed detrimental to our black cause, it was surely used and abused by the media….that’s my rant for the day.

amen to that

Ok.I agree with most of it.Rap has gotten a little bit mundane and they are talking about things that are kinda irrelevent in this time.But u got some rappers on there that put in work and actually say something when they speak.U can talk all day just to hear yourself talk but unless u actually have something of importance to say than ur not really not saying anything.These cats today just rap cuz hey I wanna have a record deal and money so Im gonna spit 16 anything over a tight beat and its gonna sell.T.I. and Kanye dont really need to be up there in my opinion.Cuz it aint what u do its how u do it.U do shyt sloppy and u gonna get some sloppy results.All Im saying is what Lauryn Hill said.”Music is supposed to inspire,so why WE aint getting no higher.”

This is another dumb article

I feel this article… for once. But it is highly relevant in our culture. So go ahead… some “hater” go ahead and “hate” on this post…

that doesn’t hit it and it’s whack,ppl don’t talk like that are call people hating if they ain’t feeling something ,i think you need to moveaway from that keyboard and go out more often cause you sound like you ain’t getting enough air are #%*$

Wow this was dumb too…You mofos need to start alll over!!

This article deserves a huge CHUUCH!!!! The word Hater has truly ruined Hip Hop. Now an artist can say ANYTHING and if you don’t like them people call you a hater. I happen to dislike Gucci Mane. Mainly because HE CAN’T RAP! He showcases NO SKILLS. But when I tell people they call me a hater. I don’t hate the man…I just happen to think he lacks skills. “Sorry but I farted and it smell like calamari soup” is a Gucci lyric that deserves to be DISLIKED! Why am I a hater for pointing out the simple fact that it’s dumb. The term hater simply gives people an excuse to do ANYTHING because anyone who doesn’t like it is a HATER which gives them social status for having HATERS. Why are we so stupid?

I agree 100% with this article. I am the ultimate hater. I don’t hesitate to speak my mind. However, I don’t expect anyone that doesn’t have character AND intelligence to agree. My only possible complaint is that I was not a contributor to this article.

This article speaks to me. This is unusual for this site. I am the uber hater. I am also a hater that you would hate to debate because I take no prisoners. Hip hop has been all but dead for years. Once the limelight was taken over by street thugs with no lyrical talent and yes this hater says it, uncle Tom Step and Fetch it porch monkey sell outs that will say anything debasing and deragetory about their own image for a video on Bafoon ET and some short term cash. Cash for pride. Truly the heartless and guttless. They could not make a record calling any other race of people what they call black folks. I don’t just disagree or dislike them. I hate them. Oh yeah, that would make me a hater.

Word!!!

I’m bout sick of the AUTO-TUNE in rap these days…

Eventhough its only been a YEAR since I heard the AUTO-TUNE in Hip Hop, I’m bout sick of it already. Call me a hater, but I really sick and tired of the FUTURISTIC, ALIEN LIKE..ROBOTIC VOICES in rap.

Singers and Rappers are already STUDIO ENHANCED yet they ENHANCE their voices even more with the AUTO-TUNE!!

Call me a hater, but I’m bout sick of hearing the VOCODER, AUTO TUNE, ALIEN FUTURISTIC rapping and singing voices.

I’m also sick of hearing RAPPERS SING…with the exception of CEE LO and ANDRE 3000 and a small handful of others. Not everyone has a singing voice..keep this in mind rappers/singers.

Also, I can voice my opinion HATER OR NOT because I am a producer…I make beats so if I dont like something I’ll just DO IT BETTER. Which gives me the right to voice my opinion..I.E….HATE!!

I’M ALWAYS HONEST…I DON’T GIVE A DAMN WHAT YOU CALL ME
I DON’T HAVE TO KISS ASS AND THINK EVERYTHING IS THE S**T JUST TO NOT BE CONSIDERED A “HATER”

TELLIN THE TRUTH IS NOT HATING!

Lil wayne needs to buy some new teeth ewww…I guess that makes me a hater, oh well

To me personally, the final rose on Hip-Hop’s casket before the 6 foot bed rest was, when Lil Wayne was a nominee for best rapper. And just to show you how much I watch the flip-flop awards. I think it was 2007 when he was nominated and lost to Commen. To tell you the truth, I never watch them. I’d rather have a root canal, but then again, hearing one of Lil Wayne’s songs, or a compilation, ahhhhhh you know what, just hearing his nasal, chalkboard scratching voice is like a root canal with no gas, no anesthetic. Carter’s voice sounds like Steve Urkel with a plastic bag rapped not tight enough over his head. And who gave this dried out, use to be, an electronic voice box. Now he’s trying to sound like T-Pain. He’s more like A pain. He should go back and sit up under Birdman, cuz his shell ain’t hatched all the way. But then again like Birdman could really rap anyway. Most rappers today have no concept of good lyrics. But some rappers out there are doin it right, I’m not speaking on them, but also some are borderline, and then you have F lists of rappers. Who brag, swear, brag, brag and did I forget brag. They talk about each other as if they are better than the other. But they bleed like us all. And soon one day hopefully very soon, they will be forgotten just like Milli Vanilli. Like them 2, these bubble gum rappers need to Rap that S**t UP!

Oh yeah can anybody tell if I’m a hater. And I’m doin it with a smile.

I feel you-in the context of which the article was written only. But in reality sometimes some people need to get hated on. I’ll claim being a hater but not like those in the article. hell i even got it on my plates!

I hate from the heart- there is such a thing. Sometimes puting sm1 on blast is the key. I put my neighbor on blast for not keepin an eye on her kids, trickin’, and then frontin’ like shes a church lady when she wants sm1 to watch them in 1 swoop.

I have more like that, but the point being: sometimes hatin’ can actually raise the level of moral or efforts people put into a thing. Only warning to this style of hatin’ is that every now and then one may have to physically help not just talk sh*t!

Oh yeah and ladies…hate that rude guy out yo face in the club when he won’t stop, the embarassment will ususally send him and his lame friends away.

quit hatin…lol

man f**k lil wayne

This very topic was realized for me during the R. Kelly sex scandal. I vividly remember him saying “to all the haters…” I’m DEFINITELY hatin on ANYONE having sex with an underage girl. It appears our vanity as Black folk cant take the hit for standing up for something…sad that we come from the 60`s and 70′s shining the light on everyone elses evils, now we cant even speak to our own…

Yo, I got “hated” on last week on this site by some damn Kanye West dick sucka, I mean dude clownin’ me just because I worte what I think dude’s new book gon’ be about. I mean, I’m just voicin’ my ideas, if you don’t agree-don’t response- that simple. But some people feel that when they “stand” up for some star a*****e that don’t even know they exist, ain’t payin’ they’re bills, nothing- to another person, that they protectin’ that nigga’s honor WTF?!!
Whoever wrote this is on point! this article couldn’t have come at a better time on this site. ;-)

Why do we WORSHIP celeberties anyway?

We pay all their bills, we buy ALL THEIR ICE, we purchase THEIR CARS for them….all just to listen to their crappy music, watch their crappy movies, and crappy comercials…and yet we JUMP to their defense when a person voices an opinion…

Hell I like 2PAC…love his music and his messages, but if someone chooses BIGGIE over PAC its no sweat off my back cause neither of them niggas would have cared if I LIVED or DIED…

so why do we worship celeberties..?

WHY?

They could give less than a f**k about US…

And dont gimme that bulls**t about “THEY LOVE AND APRECIATE THEIR FANS”..

BULLS**T….if you loved and appreciated your fans you would IGNORE YOUR RECORD LABEL’s rules and regulations and give your FANS the type of music they request….

The only reason these rappers/singers are so WACK is because of who they are SIGNED with…they are RECORD LABEL W***ES who bow down to their masters…they are so GREEDY they take the money up front like F**KIN IDIOTS and then realize they have no say so over their own f**kin MUSIC! Instead of workin a steady job and waitin patiently for albums to SELL….NOPE…they got that “HUNGRY” syndrome…takin ADVANCE MONEY up front and givin “US” the fans crappy music….

which when we COMPLAIN….we are labeled…”HATERS”….

WOW….again, why do we even worship celeberties in the 1st f**kin place..!!

Its funny cause its true. I told somebody about the particular artist and the ones that would perfer not to listen to, and I’m hatin one them cause I don’t like them. No nigga I;m not hatin one nobody I just like good music. And a hot line shouldnt be a hot song no matter who you are. And at the rate hip hop is ging now Ima make my some daamn money all you need is a hot bet and a stupid dance an boom instant millionare…

I have to agree. People got to crazy with using the word hater when someone says they are not into something. No wonder there is a whole bunch of crap out there. You cant say its bad or horrible without someone saying you are a hater.

Oh wow.. I had this EXACT thought yesterday, sitting in my bed thinking.. f**k, the word hater just empowers f**king losers and makes them think whatever it is they’re doing is right and everyone is wrong.. thats SO weird that someone wrote this the next day.. I was even thinking, someone needs to WRITE a piece on this! THANK YOU!

I think we should start a petition to ban that word

wait…hold up….why you hatin on MD 20/20??? YOU A HATER!

ok…my bad. but actually stupid sayings or rappers don’t kill hip hop. stupid consumers do. if noone liked stupidity, stupid words, slogans, mannerisms, trends, fads, ideals….all that wouldn’t be so grand. shake that booty meat would never be embraced… so hating, haters, snitches, doughboys, bangin, poppin bottles, ridin 20+ inch rims, candy paint, big goofy a$$ shades, sleeping with 20 women a night, prostitution (for the female rappers who claim they coochie is worth at least a bently…you know who u r), beef, shoes, jewelry, etc…all this the good and the bad came to be because of the consumer embracing it. not necessarily because it is the most positive or intellectual idea. hip hop has an ever changing market…and fan base…and it doesn’t seem to be hitting the more intellectuals…so you can want for that as much as you like, or you can find your favorite artists and bump them and ignore the ‘hating’ rappers. but hip hop doesn’t change until the people who listen to hip hop change it. so stop hating.

I must say music now days is just ridiculous. Anytime you come out with a song call “Do The Halle Berry” you know the music industry is over.

Good article very timely. Thank God the vast majority of the commenters agreed with the article. There are some good positive rappers out there, they just don’t get air time. The Stepin Fetchit’s are the only ones that get played on the radio. That’s ass backwords.

some of us were never affected by the word..but the numbers are so small it couldnt affect what was being played on the radio ,said on TV,videos,clubs.etc. MONEY is bigger than the word hater ..the lawyers that run showbiz !! believe in cookie cutter music..everything has a place but when it shows that big money is to be made..place go’s out the window..we exhaust the talent until it is no more because of money.. every era of showbiz has done it ..greed created the word hater ..when some of us started saying what we didnt like..others were try to justify
a crappy song or video, tv show
etc..so we understand that people dont want tastful anymore because it doesnt sell..crap does !!!! so we silenced critics who know the truth by using the word HATER………

…the word HATER did’nt kill hip hop ..its time for it to die and we just wont let hip hop DIE..its time is over…put the dirt on it..say a prayer and walk away

I agree with the article, but I want to add sumthing else…In my opinion, this is the same as peer-pressure and “sticks and stones”…ppl use “hater” as a persuasive method…Don’t waiver on your opinion and shrug dem haters off…If you agree that you are “hating”, show them that you don’t give a f**k that your “hating”, and stick to your personal opinion then the value of the term “hater” drops!

Djazz is right, so is the writer

The article is on point, now if I can just get my 18 yr old to stop saying “thingy.” Imagine if Lauren Hill sang the song “that Thingy, that thingy..that thiiingy” See it just doesn’t work.

Good article. But for my opinion the word hater didn’t kill Hip-Hop is was the corporate world who got control of it and did whatever they wanted to have the music watered down. For the most part of the term hater is misconstrued cuz itz only used in terms for somebody else doing better than the other and can’t face the fact that he/she is still sitting on their ass doing s**t!!! And when a rapper gets accused of being wack he hides behind the term hating….but the real term for a wack rapper is “constructive criticism” a difference lol.

[...] of you fortunate enough to still be working today might be pay day. And since some folks feel like we hate too much around here let’s just applaud Fabolous for making yet one more song about spending [...]

I was almost on the side of this article…almost.

The term “hater” goes a lot further than liquor comparisons- I’ve heard it stretch over into political disagreements as well.

The article lost me after the examples. “Hater” allows the quick responses to disagreement because there is so much intollerance to EVEN LISTEN to the other. No one even wants to listen… so these quick “cotton candy” fit RIGHT in with our fast-paced lifestyles.

I did like the term “bailout terminology” but it was shamefully wasted on a term like “hater.” The same people who holler “hater” in an instant are kin to the people who would yell out a term like “racism” every time there was a disagreement with someone of another race.

You talk about the “state of hip hop” as if it’s on life support or needing reviving, but you fail mention the differences that fall under the term “hip-hop” like music for the youth in their SouljaBoy and OJ down to swag rappers like Jay-Z and Wayne all the way to conscious rappers like Nas, Common, Kweli, etc.

Good concept- Poor execution;
go ahead and say it….

Lol I agree 100%

Excellent article
