Well at least OP actually listened to them, it just boils down to taste afterwards. He actually said that he respects what they did for the culture, but doens't really feel the songs. Nothing wrong with that, at least he's being honest. It's not because it's old-school or pioneers that you HAVE to like them.

All I can say is do the One (Knowledge) on all Hip Hop history. Know who, what, when, where, why, and how it started. Digest sounds from the different eras. Imagine a rabid sports fan saying "I don't fux with basketball before Jordan. Everything before that was trash" His credibility would be nil.

On the low tho: the first Hip Hop I ever heard was Run DMC so to me their shyt is holy, but I tried to go back to Kurtis Blow and earlier and guess what: wasn't feeling it. I think it's natural. Difference is I would never call Kurtis lame. Run was 'Son of Kurtis Blow' at first. No Kurtis, no Run. Get the connection?

Everything you do like is built on this foundation. Nas would have never came up with Illmatic if not for building on all the styles that came before.

Something would be wrong if we didn't continue to improve. Run can't possibly know what JZ was gonna say a decade later but JZ has the advantage of knowing all Run's shyt by heart before he begins. If I have been watching tapes of your team all season but you never even heard of my team, who has the advantage?

We're all standing on the shoulders of giants. Thay's why we can touch the sky now.
