Dr. Dre Says Older Artists Hating on Current State of Rap Sound Like 'Somebody's Grandfather'

[zayk35]

Yep I just stopped listening cause I realized this ain't made for my 45 yr old ears and hasn't been for at least the last 12-15 years. I now don't even know enough about it to have a good or bad opinion on it. The kids today will have the same realization too once their 30's kicks in. You'll either realize how ridiculous it is or you just age out.

 

[Firefly]

He said he doesn't listen to it.

 

[jackswstd]

Well he’s right about just not listening to it, and I don’t.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

We gotta be real with ourselves. This form of art probably peaked way back in the mid 90s

Yup, happens with every genre of music

Jazz - '50s-'60s
Rock - '60-'70s
R&b - '70s-80s
Hip-Hop - '80s-'90s

Just like people still consider Stevie & Michael the GOATs 40-50 years later, they'll still consider 2pac & Nas & Biggie the GOATs 40-50 years from now.

I feel a lot of people don’t want admit that but it is what it is shyt happens to all forms of media




Shyt been in a decline ever since and It most likely will never reach that peak again. Look at jazz

I think Rap could.

You can still buy an MPC or SP1200.
Millions of records left to sample, let alone other media.
You can get nice at spitting with practice.

People just have to want to again.
