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

Thread is inspired by Lil Uzi Vert's interview with Hot 97 where he refused to rap over a DJ Premier beat and called old-school hip-hop "basic."

Yes.
Can you be a hip hop fan if all you like or consider hip hop is basic boom bap and soul samples?

What are your favourite rap albums of all time, breh? It always intrigues me to hear people of different generations list their favourites.

yeah, you can
hip hop changes so much in so little time and it's always been about the here and now and for the moment and when the next new nikka or nikkas come along
it's always been a very "out with the old, in with the new" type of attitude which i hate because the respect for what came before gets lost but it is what it i guess
the funny thing is, with hip hop, things become "old" so quickly and even more quicker in the last decade or so with the internet and access to everyone in 1 click
but hey, with time comes change. it is what it is :manny:

i really don't care about hip hop like i use to anymore, both the old shyt and definitely not the new shyt. the old shyt is cool for nostalgia but i don't love it like i once did even though i still go through the motions and listen sometime; and the new shyt just ain't for me at all really. i give some of the new shyt chances but i don't feel it like i did the shyt i grew up on. there's room for everyone to like what they like. if you a old school cat like me, you can still enjoy ya old shyt or if you a younger nikka of this era and only wanna fukk with the shyt you like that's comin' out right now, so be it. or if either of the 2 and you fukk with both eras of music, that's cool too
at the end of the day, it's all about what YOU like :yeshrug:

Don't you get bored of hearing JUST bars?
lmao. those albums aren't just bars. :pachaha:


you probably got me confused for someone who hates new hip hop and is constantly listening to old stuff. i'm not. so if this is some trolling scheme then you can move onto someone else. i already said you can be a fan without enjoying 90s hip hop. you probably still do have bad taste though. :manny:

Nah, I like 90s hip-hop. I like everything, but I just PREFER modern-day stuff.
