Hip Hop is not wack these days, its just going over your heads cuz yall old and we young.

[u mad son?]

U should first ask him what defines Mainstream. He's probably not old enough 2 understand that there was a total difference back in the day, that was pretty much exclusive to The South & The Mid-West.

Man I used to fukk with the tim westwood show heavy back in 2000s ... ever since 2005 when the south came up top again, shyt hit the fan big time. I used to record every show, dipset, nas, whole of NY had a resurgence ... when laffy tafffy and soulja boy came out, the whole game changed for the worst since then.

mainstream before 2005 was the shyt, it was still about beats and original lyrics then

 

[u mad son?]

Nothing going over our heads because of age, that logic is terrible. The longer you enjoy/study an art, the more you know about it and the more you appreciate it. This is the type of shyt rappers were making in their 20s in the 90s.





These new mainstream rappers are immature as fukk and just embarrassing in comparison.

Nas was 17 when he wrote alot of lyrics for illmatic

Pac was 25 when he DIED

Alot of the Wu were in their early 20s and were spitting shyt people are only starting to understand NOW .... this is a whole different echelon of spitting

and production?! ... man listen to the RZAs production for all of the Wu classics and tell me another artist since that has managed to capture cinematic, layered and unique sounds since then and they come few and far between

But like you basically said, you don't even expect people to be riding with it 2 years from now. Textbook disposable music. it'll be here today and gone tomorrow.

The rappers y'all cherish are disposable too.

No one gave a fukk about Mobb Deep, ATCQ,EPMD after their mini runs

Well if you're not from here and Tim Westwood was your introduction 2 Hip Hop then I can see How & Why you have a limited Knowledge & Scope on Rap. Its no wonder

Infamous, Hell on Earth, Murda Muzik, HNIC

thats 4 undisputed classics that will remain cemented in hip hop, you cant compaire these new dudes to that

 

[CrimsonTider]

Now how many of them have made classic albums?

Scarface, MAYBE killah priest .... Blu, ill give him below the heavens. The rest of em, yeah they may spit lyrical, but classic albums? hell nah man

classics im talking:
INFAMOUS
OB4CL
LIQUID SWORDZ
CHRONIC/2001
ILLMATIC
ETC

come on, lyrical yeah, but you need more than that to create classic

A classic album is 100% opinion.

You can't invalidate an artist because you dont think their music is classic.

No gives a fukk about Mobb Deep.

I dont know anyone that has ever bump Mobb Deep or even thought about them

How you view Migos is how a lot of folk view Mobb Deep

It wasnt my introduction to hip hop, but my point was ... even after the 90s ... you could still fukk with the commercial shyt heavy if you was from that era and respectably ... since then shyt has gone down hill 10 fold

They have 4 undisputed classics, no one out here is calling any Migos album a classic and no one will ever mention their music in the same level without being clowned.

big difference, mobb are touring in europe and selling out shows in 2016 fam

Im saying Migos has classics

 

[BodeineBrazy]

i mean ,seriously, if u havent given up on looking for "dope" shyt, give it another year or 2 and the sound of hip hop will be so differrent you will.

how can someone who is 35 plus expect to understand what a 20 year olds definition of dope is like?

and to u "i grew up in the wrong era" kids, shut up.

listen to lil yachty, kodak black, young thug,lil uzi vert and playboi carti. u cannot tell me they arent dope as fukk

u cant


/rant.

facts, these nikkas just have nostalgia bias and insecure about their life. So they hate all current shyt because it reminds them of how they lives aint pan out.

Its like that with everything tho, Movies, Music, Sports, its just what happens when people get old.

Im 31 btw and these nikkas dope to me. I can listen to anything tho. Rap is just a persons experience.

lyrically Migos are dope. and sound better on Alchemist than P and Hav do at this point. they both great groups tho...

 

[Taco]

They back them because they want to stay relevant in the industry and not be seen as salty, that is it

lol where do you guys come up with this stuff?

 

[u mad son?]

Im saying Migos has classics

Who else is saying this? not the majority of core hip hop groups bru. will you ever see a migos album quoted next to a mobb album? nah

I got respect for PERSONAL hip hop classics, i got a hell of a lot of albums id claim as classics but know that it isnt essentially a classic in the hip hop scene majority ... I know the difference

 

[LEEeveryday]

Over our heads?...

How Sway?..

I get it, it's certain movements, I get it, but if you're doing this thing we call hip-hop...you NEED substance...Where is the substance. That's the music I have always gravitated to, and that's the music that stands the test of time..
