be honest my fellow 30 & up old heads, the older u get, the harder it becomes to listen to some shyt

[Bless't]

I still like coming across a new/younger artist I vibe with. I enjoy seeing art evolve personally. I just dont have the time to scour the internet and listen to the 23894354895789475 mixtapes that are out there.

I'll always have my ear to the streets though.

Bruh, I'm still gone off the very first one.....nikkaz used to really try n get some ass to this interludeFools would be tryin to freestyle over that shyt, study, my cousin would be in the back of the church sneak listentin to Quik Is The Name gettin caught by sista Elma with them bomb ass 7-up cakes

These are the ones that fukked my head up..I was like damn Quik is a conductor/bandleader like Prince, Isaac Hayes, Barry White..

 

[DrX]

[R-Typ3]

I will always listen to Quik, even when I'm 80 plus, dude just musically has it like that.

All day

There's still good stuff out there but used to be you didn't have to LOOK for it before. TBH I don't listen to a lot of HH anymore, more instrumental stuff, producers run the game now imo. I guess that's why this whole "rapper/singing/mumbling" thing is hot now, beats are more important than "rhymes" now maybe

But I still try to listen to stuff here and there. Most of the time I'm but sometimes I'm

The good thing is that every now and then I go back to 90s music and I instantly feel

Nah, I love what these youngins are doing. The originality of taking what we built and making it into their own, the entrepreneurial spirit, middle finger to the big machines.
We living in exciting times and the youth are rebelling. I think we (our generation) are so blinded by nostalgia that we refuse to give them a chance.

Your delusional.

 

[Dad]

Who are you talking about?

The biggest issue a lot of heads have with modern rap is that the youngins are nowhere as rebellious as we were. They're sucking the big machine so hard.

Half of them are independent how are they sucking the machine?

 

[SirBiatch]

Half of them are independent how are they sucking the machine?

by not being bold enough to make music that isn't disposable and an outright duplicate of a machine artist. They're independent dying to be machine. That's still machine-sucking.

Your delusional.

You're caught in a time warp. 1997 ain't walking through that door anytime soon. Let the youth express themselves.

Disposable to who? duplicate of what machine artist? What are you talking about??

breh You really think these kids are wildly original? that most of them aren't Drake clones or Future/Lil B clones? Or throwback "lyrical" clones? Lettuce really be honest here.

 

[West Coast Avenger]

Naw....I have no problems.....and I listen to all this new shyt...

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

The older I get the more picky I get. I just can't get into much of this newer shyt because majority of the time these rappers have nothing to say. And when they do its just so generic and redundant. They have some good beats sometimes but the lyrics are just boring and uninspired. Nothing compelling to say just a bunch of pandering and clones chasing the same beats and flows.

 

[Blackout]

Im in my mid 20s but personally I just think most newer rap sounds lazy.

Barely any lyrics, the beats all sound similar with not much variety and the topics dont change much either.

Its basically forced me into the older music and other musical genres with one a few rappers these days that I can stand.

As for gangsta rappers I feel ya on that. Unless Im at a party drunk to where I dont pay much attention to the music around me I dont want to hear that shyt.

 

[LezJepzin]

It depends.

I really like what Dave East is doing but I listened to YG's new album last night and that shyt was

I still like the originality of hip hop if I can still find it , but I'm getting sick of 90s baby rappers trying to rap like they're in the 90's
