Can you be a rap fan if you don't enjoy 90s hip-hop?

[tuckgod]

Nope.

I'm down to evict all these basehead, fagtards out the culture.

Big and Pac aint die for this

Being melodic just means being aesthetically appealing. A dope hook works.

I like 90s hip-hop, but I just get burnt out listening to just bars. I'ma need to find better headphones. Maybe that'll solve this problem.

and I lose a few brain cells listening to mumbling hooks.

 

[DaveyDave]

Breh, I know this is a weird question, but do you listen to music with headphones or speakers? Maybe my headphones aren't that great, because I can't take in rapping for too long or my ears hurt/I get burnt out.

what the fukk does that have to do with anything? people listened to music on headphones back in the day too breh, it's called a walkman

 

[PhonZhi]

I can't take in rapping for too long or my ears hurt/I get burnt out.

So basicly your cup of tea are these dumbed-down singing/melodic rappers of today. In a nutshell you don't like to have to think too hard when listening to rap. Yea breh, stick to your Fetty Wap, kindergarten rappers

Can you be a Hiphop fan if you only listen to 90s rap?

Nostalgia is a dangerous drug... It only remember the best and ignore the worst


16 year olds today were born in 2000 they couldn't care less about what y'all call the golden era

I only listen to RD from the 90s

The simple answer is of course. There is no authority certifying listeners as hip hop fans. Anybody can say anything.

The more complicated answer is that hip hop is now approximately 40 years old. It would take a crazy amount of time and effort for a kid born in 2000 to play catch up on the 2000s, 90s and 80s. The album wasn't that commonplace in hip hop until approximately 87. So it's also safe to say there is far more music from the 90s than from the 80s. The 90s were far more diverse than the 80s as well. So if someone tells me they don't enjoy any 90s hip hop I would assume they are ignorant or value very different things in hip hop than I do.

Also, I don't consider all this sing rapping to even be hip hop. This is something different and should have its own genre.

No you can't

thread/

How come? Most of the new generation of rap fans don't enjoy the 90s. They prefer the post-808s and Heartbreak rap.

That stuff was never hip hop. Jumbled pop more than anything.

It's not even that. It's just hard for me to digest just simply rapping. I need some singing or melodies.

You're not a hip hop fan. And I say that respectfully.

I don't understand the need for people to pretend to love hip hop. It was never meant to appeal to everyone like that.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I do agree. Beats with only rhymes can get one dimensional but that is what melodies in good beats are kinda for.
Certain raps you need to LEARN how to listen to i guess like Jazz or something.
You can end up loving it or leaving it.

You guys spend a lot of time worrying about what others do and how Hip Hop they might look on a message board....

Some of you Larrys are going to have to come to terms with the fact that that music is getting older and the new generation might not listen to it. Just like in the 90s when some of us were all wrapped up in our music, while older heads were trying to open our eyes to something before us.

My main problems with these threads is its recycling the same topics and half the people posting in the thread are less than 30 years old trying to act like they even remember the shyt when it happened.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

And i'm actually not a guy who thinks 90's rap is better cause i think the early 00's where almost just as good. Even today i like a lot of what i'm hearing.

 

[DaveyDave]

I would expect you to at least listen to the mist have classics as well as artists and songs that are similar to the style you like. Even if you start with Nelly or Snoop Dogg or Juvenile. You probably aren't going to find too much of what you like in mid 90s hardcore NY street rap but there's plenty of melodies and sing songy cadences in the west and south from back then. Start off with some poppy shyt from back then and work your way in I suppose.

Having said all that I see in another thread you said Pac was boring. If you think Pac is boring then breh Hip Hop just isn't for you. I'm not even the biggest Pac fan but he IS probably the most beloved and popular rapper to ever exist for a reason.

I mean the dude has Logic as his avatar pic, prolly got into hip hop in last two years or something.

I would expect people like this on reddit or somewhere, but not on coli.

Anyway to answer your question - yes, you can, but your opinion most of the time ain't worth shyt since your knowledge is limited strictly to modern stuff. I'd say everyone should at least give a chance to some classics, just to try to expand your horizons. But the mere fact that you were interested enough to make a topic and discuss makes you look better in my eyes than the rest of the bandwagon hip hop fans and pretenders who only listen to what's popular and don't even try to think about the classics or past influences to modern rap.

 

[DeuceCypherUno]

Don't you get bored of hearing JUST bars?

did you really think those albums were revered for bars?
