Then why are you here
?! If you haven't liked the genre since the mid-fukking-90's you really are just some whining interloper and have no business here at all. You're 20 years too late to be making this thread if you feel that way. Get the fukk out of the Booth

I've been "over and done" with hip hop for over a decade.
When the south "took over", I knew immediately it was finished. Done.
And I adjusted my listening pleasures accordingly.

I still dig hip hop, I just don't have a desire for the new stuff. It's a part of my life, it shaped some of my character but I'm older and things changed. I'm more into movie themes and film scores, old motown, stax record's and the Philadelphia soul sounds of the 60s and 70s. I listen to Dido, Simple Minds, Foreigner, Mister Mister, The Eagles, etc. I remember this dude saying, "you ever heard of NAS" back in 1994. I listen to 80s and 90s rap man. I knew it was time to find a new hobby when niccas started saying Drake is better than Pharaohe Monch.

You should've been doing that from the jump.
Funny thing is people feel the same way about Jazz music.
That it's a dying genre that's filled with people who're academics and
that it only appeals to musicians.
Of course I don't feel that way, despite being a musician but
that's how some people feel.
A lot of great rappers have dropped projects but this is same the websiteHip-Hop is trash right now,
The apologist and excuse makers on this site want me to dig through 1000 WACK rappers to find ONE ABOVE AVERAGE rapper
NAH
You can love hip-hop and still call it out on it's bullshyt, as a matter of fact by not supporting the vast majority of this bullshyt I feel like I'm doing whats best for the culture.
ALSO the majority of rappers yall big up as alternatives to listen to when convos like this come up are usually AVERAGE and NOTHING SPECIAL.
VERY FEW GREAT RAPPERS OR PROJECTS HAVE DEBUT WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
Hip-hop is stale.
that has threads where people ask "Who is so and so ?" whenever they drop a project
either that or y'all laugh at it not going platinum.
This isn't a NEW trend, I remember when cats were saying "Who is Kendrick
Lamar ? He'll never pop ! No one likes music like THAT", then the dudes second
album and first one on a major goes platinum.
Let's be real, the vast majority of the booth has no real connection to Hip Hop.
They don't feel the music like they claim they do :
Otherwise downloading a mixtape, which only takes a few minutes if you've got a decent connection,wouldn't
be seen as some amazingly arduous task.
Otherwise watching a music video, which only takes a few seconds to load if you've got a decent connection,
wouldn't be seen as something difficult or too hard.
Otherwise just READING a thread on The Coli wouldn't be seen as some daunting task that's tantamount
to visiting the moon.
Hip Hop isn't trash, it's these fake fans who claim to "love" Hip Hop but can't tell you a
label that isn't a major.
It's these fake fans who can only complain about and name five rappers but claim to love this shyt
It's these fake fans who say "What came out this year ?", despite over a dozen albums getting
stickied in the booth.
It's the dudes who can run into a Nicki Minaj thread to complain about Nicki Minaj and Hip Hop but are
nowhere to be found when Blu or Dom Kennedy or Oddisee or some other rapper drops a project.
It's like people forget that Media Take Out threads do more numbers than albums on a website
dedicated to music and sports

it ain't got that same excitement it once had. for me, listenin' to it now has became almost like a chore just to find somethin' new and even when i do find somethin' new and kinda of cool, it only sticks to me for like a minute. it ain't got no "stayin' power" as barry white use to say. hip hop is stale and played now (has been for close to 20 years) but it's now to the point where it's just flat out a parody of what it once was
breh....
why do nikkas feel like they HAVE to listen to new shyt? i have an external HD full of all the shyt i like from the 80s 90s and 2000s...
every now and then something will come along that interests me...but otherwise im good pulling out some of my old shyt and listening to it....
and im 40...so imagine what i feel about todays music

Good music.dap for mentionin' everythin' in bold, nice
Music is about emotion and at a certain point every generation says "Music these days has no meaning or w/e" because it doesn't evoke those same emotions that the classics did when you were younger. When certain songs come on you think of a specific situation, like the song that was playing when you first got laid, etc so its a classic to you even if the song wasn't good. Music just sounded better when I was 18 is essentially the argument everyone uses in one form or another. Just my opinion about why everyone says this about music at some point.

that's thing man, i'm always listenin' to other genres. in a couple of hours i could go from bumpin' fleetwood mac in the whip to rakim to pearl jam to lionel richie etc
hip hop has just run it's course for me; because of the lack of findin' a lo of new hip hop music that really sticks to my taste buds, i've listened to the old classics so much that i'm now tired of them
What do you like terms of old school artists? I'm just like you, I can bump Mana (Mexican rock band), Prince Royce (Bachata), Blue in Green (Jazz), Pearl Jam, One Day by UGK, and finally new Big Krit since I'm a big Houston/South rap fan. ASAP Mob, Black Hippie, Kriko Bangz, Krit, Logic are all good starting points IMO.
I respect your opinion I keep an open mind to new hip hop stuff too.
I have the exact opposite problem, it's too much good music coming out for me to keep up with
But I actively look for new artists to listen to as well
shyt, it's about 10-15 projects I'm anticipating in December alone

...come on let's picture the possibility...
I'm amazed at the amount of daps his post got. It's like half the people on this site don't like the music. Why are any of us here?
I reached this same conclusion in like 2004. Except: I check for "new music" a few years afterback it's released. The theory being: if people still like it three years later, then it's likely decent.
