Booth Members under 27, when you listen to 90s Hip-Hop

[Wacky D]

yes and no

production wise i dont rly like it, personally i dont think its hard at all to make soul sample beats thats y dudes like kanye were makin hundreds of beats in short amounts of time, the style is rly formulaic and pretty simple

these days production is many times more complex, detailed, polished, and they bang

rap wise the 90s was real as hell, id still probably say 90s hip hop is better jus cause of how real the rappers were and the culture in general

i grew up listenin to illmatic so ill always remember the greatness of the 90s, even tho i was only 5 when it was the year 2000

sorry but kanye really isn't that great. im not even sure if he cracks my top 40 producers.

lol @ production being more complex & detailed these days. no the hell its not. and it generally don't bang the same neither.

Maybe it's b/c I'm from NY, but even Cali cats in the mid/late 90s when everyone out here was heavily influenced by Rakim, G Rap, Nas, etc were flowing like crazy over beats. Once shiny suit era hit you had all these weird double time raps and Jay-Z biters spitting awkwardly.

Listen to Lil Fame at 0:59. This is how you flow over a beat

I'm a 90's baby but I gravitate to music from that era. I grew up with my parents playing D'Angelo, ATCQ, Busta & The Roots, my uncle got me onto Nas and because of being used to that Neo-Soul/Hip-Hop sound, I found Common & Slum Village. My taste in his music has carried on so I am considered a Boom-Bap fanatic by my peers.

I'm 22

first album I played this morning was Special Ed's Legal





EDIT: Doesn't sound dated at all IMO; early 90s flows are waaaaaay better than these wack young chris inspired bullshyt raps guys like Big Sean spit out.

My shyt right here! Ed was a monster

I still feel the same way I did months ago when I posted: There's something about the 90s music that I don't feel with this music and I say that as a 27 year old. There's an organic feel to most of it, guys just making music hoping a DJ would spin it and let it rock. I also wouldn't say that production today is more complicated, anytime I dig into RZA's samples, most of them are extremely complex and layered and it was more than just flipping a loop and adding drums. There's an attention to detail rhyme wise and flow wise that was across the board then and now only a few cats have that.

 

[ThatTruth777]

feels like I'm listening to good music

 

[stealthbomber]

i regularly listen to the classics. i like good music though

booming beats aren't the only thing i care about

in fact when im at the gym i listen to more old school rap than new school shyt, thats for the whip

 

[JuvenileHell]

The 90s will always be the GOAT hip hop era, especially 94-96.

 

[mozichrome]

yes i do

spent half the day yesterday listening on rap old school channel of satellite radio

 

[thekidfromqueens]

No. I'm from Queens, all my introduction to hip hop was that 90s shyt. If I Ruled the World was the song that made me fall in love with the genre.

 

[wire28]

sometimes, but i love golden era music but some old westcoast is to me

 

[Trajan]

my top ten is all rappers from the 90's, and i'm 24, @Danie84 you should have made the thread asking kids born in 93-96 on here, most late 80's-early 90's kids(87-92) love the 90's era of hip-hop, well the people I know do.
