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

[FeloniousMonk]

If you a fan of hip hop today, you do the history of the music to gain an appreciation, respect and understand where the legacy came from...kinda like any genre of music IF you are a true fan of music.

Other than that, people are just on the badwagon of the sound cuz its what they are used to doing..

 

[Cagny]

Imagine a young Tame Impala fan ignoring who Creedence Clearwater Revival are because they're old and dusty

 

[NotaPAWG]

Yes but it just shows your ignorance

By no means was DJ Paul & Three 6 Mafia making "dust" hence why amongst this new generation they are sampled a whole fukking lot



You can't shyt on 90s hip hop and selectively ignore what Memphis & Texas was doing in the 90s

 

[SirBiatch]

real shyt..i started listening to rap in 96 and could give a fukk about anything before that at the time..til this day i can barely fukk with anything pre 93/94 ish so theres alotta so called classic shyt that was simply before my time and I cant get into ...its the young boys era..nikkas gotta learn to let em cook. one man's golden era is another mans

no wonder your taste is suspect.

and it's not 'so called classic'. It's actually classic, unlike the so-called Southern 'classics' I put in proper perspective which makes y'all so

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.

Nah.
If somebody don't care about 90's rap but you got people in here talking about "I can't fukk with it, it was just bars" which is as hell. I can't take someone seriously if they claim not to like something, and don't even know anything about it. Imagine if someone told you a movie was wack, and they knew nothing about it.

Fred.

soon as I saw the notification, i knew what it was

fukk you know bout my taste tho?

Of course you can...but don't confuse being a fan of rap music with being Hip Hop. Knowing and appreciating your history is an integral apart of identifying with Hip Hop culture IMO.

There are plenty of rap fans out there that don't participate, appreciate or know anything about the culture that the music they love springs from.

 

[iseetrolledpeople]

I need some singing or melodies

had to be melodic. Jay, 50, Kanye, Drake

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

Breh the only difference between decades is that in this some people accept fakkits.

Nothing personal, but you sound like a btich when you "burn out"

 

[ZEB WALTON]

I think it shows incredible ignorance to say "90s hip hop is wack"

I grew up on 90s but went back and checked/bought plenty of 80s albums to see who influenced the generation i was from.

2000s was dope.

2010s has some shyt too even tho i dont like a majority of it.

To say you cant rock an entire generation of the music ya supposed to represent is retarded

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Don't you get bored of hearing JUST bars?

just bars????

 

[Illin Degenerate]

i mean you can, but your taste is probably horrible.

agreed, cept id edit out probably. id say any generation is usually more fond of the popular or trendy music of their generation.

 

[BK The Great]

kids these days won't even go back in time and look into 90's hip hop which might be one of the best era's in history. too many classics came out at that time.

 

[Paper Boi]

agreed, cept id edit out probably. id say any generation is usually more fond of the popular or trendy music of their generation.

i still think it's probably.

i know plenty of people including exes and immigrant friends who i introduced to hip hop and only know 2000s/2010s hip hop who have good taste in music (use those examples everyone else i'm friends with knows 90s hip hop pretty much), but the majority who have no appreciation for 90s hip hop/find it boring tend to have terrible taste in todays hip hop/music in general.

and again this is from someone who appreciates modern hip hop. not some stuck on g-unit/90s new york coli poster.

That's just hip hop and pop fans.

I've known plenty of rock fans who listen to rock music a generation before their own. I have two white coworkers I work pretty close with whom are both about 25 years old.

One is obsessed with 90s grunge and tje other is all about rock music from the 60s and 70s.
