i'm over and done with hip hop

[I love Latina women]

...easy...... I feel on the current times.....but 20 year is a stretch breh....... check out the link in my signature...you get some fresh hip hop jazzy beats to keep your love of the artform alive..and some ok MCs too..

Then again i'm ... 30 ain't the new 20...just got to ride it out..

what i said in regards to the 20 year mark was this and i quote:

i said "has been for close to 20 year" but to be exact i'd say 17 years, since 1997. i started to notice the decline there

 

[Cladyclad]

If you let the powers that be dictate what you want out of hip hop then I get your point.But even in the Golden era of hip hop,there was a lot of mediocre and downright awful music being made,the cream rose to the top easier because there was a strong community behind the music that safeguarded it's excesses.Then the million dollar budgets started to happen and $ became the driving force,not artistry or social commentary which has been deftly murdered by greed and ego.I still enjoy hip hop though,i grew up on the best the genre had to offer and it is a part of my life,bullshyt artists with bullshyt rhymes won't ruin that for me

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

i get the same feeling.. but i'm starting to notice its just TOO much music

fukk the mainstream. you can easily find great music out there.. the problem is, you gotta go through 8 mixtapes and 5 albums in the month of june, just to find that one you like... then you bang it and there's new single, video, podcast, mixtape, album for me to listen to.. and i don't have to time do all that

but i know what good music came out.. and if i had to make a long drive, i could make it easy with just music released this year.... but i've probably only had the time to listen to those albums/mixtapes about 4 times a piece

back in the 90s i listened to 36 chambers for 2-3 seasons straight.. walkman always playing.. might have 3-4 tapes at a time.. maybe 1 clue tape all summer.. and i got to focus in on album.. i barely the words to this new shyt, even if it's dope

yeah, i hear what you sayin'

 

[JCalli]

Firstly, albums that I consider classics will never ever get played out to me. In fact, my listening experience can be heightened due to all the nostalgia attached to it. I literally have enough great albums from hip hop to last me the rest of my life.

I still love this shyt. You know how easily I can still get excited .... all it takes is one dope verse for me to get out the entire discography and bump it the whole week. Hell, I've been listening to Ghostface entire catalogue in anticipation for his and Wu's album.

Hip hop sure ain't what it was, but there is still a lot of dope shyt about. I've seen many people say this year has been trash, but personally I have enjoyed this year and there is still some serious heat to be dropped.

that's really your own problem tho breh. i'm the same way, i don't listen to shyt as much as i used to but it's not because of "too much music" available. make some kind of limit for yourself, only put a max of 5 new albums on your ipod or whatever and listen to them for a month. keep some classics and favourites in there and you have a decent amount of music to fukk around with. if you see a fukkload of people talking about a certain album or mixtape on a site like the Coli then chuck that on and give it a go.

 

[Why-Fi]

kanye has been the only muthafukka who kept this hip hop shyt live imo though

this hurts your argument for the simple fact that just about everybody that made it exciting in the first place are still making music. pete rock, q-tip, marley marl, krs, dj quik, ice cube, even diamond d and pharcyde got a brand new joint together...i could go on. stick to what you know youre looking for love in the wrong places
all that shyt is on spotify and spotify is free to use

yeah but the music makin' now doesn't compare to their prime and peak era. hey, it's just my opinion though

i dont agree but i get it. pete rock and diamond in particular have done nothing but gotten better and better and better

i respect your opinion

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I think Pete Rock used to be better about 10 years ago though.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I'm not really that Hardcore Hip-Hop anymore.
I just don't like to listen to people who trying to be criminal anymore. I used to think that was cool when i was 13-16. Now it's just stupid and childish to me.
I can't understand how grown men can look back at they rap-career about drugsdealing/killing and be proud of it.

But i will always like certain Hip-Hop. I'm even starting to like certain House Music to now though.
