2000s Rap Was Much Better Than Given Credit For

[Mentch15]

I'm not really counting early 2000s because it was largely shyt outside of the Blueprint and maybe GRODT (although I hesitate to put that one in there because let's be real, 50 Cent and classic dont belong anywhere near the same sentence). But from 2004 onwards, there was so much great music. Late Registration and College Dropout were almost unquestionably Kanye's best albums. Food and Liquor and The Cool were solid classics. Those are a couple of examples just for starters but though nobody realized it at the time, mid to late 2000s was such an underrated era. If we're being honest, 2007-08 was an amazing time period for music

One thing I noticed about 2000s rap compared to 90s rap: it aged MUCH better. I dont care for the sound of 90s rap anymore, 2000s rap sounds like it could actually still be relevant in another 10 years

Completely disagree. That lo-fi, gritty, boom bap sound will always be timeless to me.

I used to love boom bap (still do to an extent), but its time has kinda passed

Horrible thread

Probably true lol. That's pretty much the same thing I thought to myself when I made this thread. But the thing that I noticed about 2000s rap is that it seems to age better the further away from it that we get. 80s rap didn't age well at all, and 90s rap aged well for a few years but the earlier 90s stuff ssounds dated AF . I can still fukk with late 90s because early 2000s rap actually sounds more dated than late 90s rap

Yeah lol I feel you with that, people seemed to overlook some of the better music of that time period in favor of the songs you mentionned. Kinda sad tbh
