Do y’all actually like Hip Hop?

[KingZaire_]

It seems like nobody on here actually likes hip hop and I know this board skews older but some of the takes on here about current hip hop are so bad that it makes me question if y’all haven’t listened to music in 25 years if you looked here you’d think you’re in 1998 instead of 2021 and hip hop is dead when’s it’s never been as versatile and big as it is today.

So do y’all like hip hop?

Some of the people on here have been hating hiphop for over 2 decades

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

tell us what you listening to so we can judge you like the old head we are first.

i wanna get my elitist on

I agree that a lot of the conversations here are more bias toward the 90's and early 00's, but you can't seriously think that Hip Hop is bigger now than it has ever been. Even versatility would be an argument.

I'm older but fair with me assessments. I'm one of the few around my age that would give a dude like Lil Baby or Polo G props(even though his latest single is mid).

First off I think a lot of people should know that RAP & HIP HOP are two different things

Hip hop pertains to the root of how this started where people still enjoy bars,punchlines,double entendres,technical lyricism, poetic lyricism

Rap is a sub genre of hip hop which is basically the “commercial” “pop” version of hip hop where you can say anything on a song and as long as it makes money And catchy its whatever

RAP genre has evolved in many ways but when it comes to saying something in a song it is at an al time low especially with today’s mumble rap,unoriginal biting and straight laziness.

I’m in my early 20s so don’t think I’m an old head

 

[Mastamimd]

But most of us are in the 30+ range and are gonna talk about 90s hip hop more than anything. It's what we grew up on

early 90's beg to differ. and the criticisms are about the mainstream.

but you can love hip hop while not liking the supposedly top acts of a certain era. i don't know listeners of any genre who love everything and every artist just because they make music labeled with that genre.

 

[Paper Boi]

yes, but i've outgrown the stuff artists in their teens and twenties making.

I answered no, bc I don’t “like” hip hop, I fukking love this shyt, way to attack the actual fans and not the casuals dictating radio/top streams and ruining the game

having a love and passion for anything also makes you a hard ass critic, hence thecoli.com

Bro the hip hop jams my fam used to throw were some of the best times of my life... beautiful women from all over the world, nonstop hip hop, bboys and bgirls, MCs, DJs, and graf writers just there for the love of it. Miss them days b

@ this bait

The Coli is the best HIPHOP forum period. Most versatile range of posters I have ever engaged with online. I would recommend you just go over to Boxden if you want to discuss just popular or commercial mainstream rap.
