Justin Timberlake Doesn’t Know A Thing About Hip-Hop
Contributed anonymously:
The Source magazine did an article about Pharrell Williams and in it, Justin Timberlake of *NSYNC made a claim that hip-hop has gone pop and anyone who doesn’t think so just isn’t seeing the big picture. Well that upset many Source readers. They responded in the Letters to the Editor section of the next issue. Julz said, “When I read Justin Timberlake’s comment in the Pharrell story that hip-hop has gone pop, my blood heated. Hip-hop is infused in everything; fast food and commercials, movies for main-stream America…. It looks like pop has gone hip-hop, and those of you who don’t know better recognize!” Michael Dennis said, “I got really angry with what Justin Timberlake said [about hip-hop going pop]. It proves that he doesn’t really listen to hip-hop. Justin, some people may say the Neptunes sold out but hip-hop isn’t the only form of music out there. For a person who does pop, maybe you should stick to pop. We may do things that are categorized as ‘pop culture’ but there are many forms of hip-hop. We’re not seeing the big picture? Please.”
