Is it me or movies and music from the 90's seem better than today

[#1 pick]

Juice, Boyz in the Hood, House Party, Angels in the Outfield, Boomerang, Jerry Mac, Mask, Fast Lane,Fresh Prince, Martin, Family Matters, Boston Public, Boyz II Men, JODECI, MC Hammer, Pac, Biggie, Wu Tang, TLC, SWV, etc. Just classic good stuff. Today we got Future, 2 chainz, Drake, Degrassi, Nicki M, Wayne, LHH, Wipeout, Bachelor, Soul Place , but Obama is my President .

It just seemed like better quality of shows and music

content was much better then but don't sleep on the nostalgia factor

Yeah it's just you. No one ever feels this way

Personally, I like the skinny jeans and euro pop stylings of contemporary Hip Hop in 2012.

Of course, standards were much higher back then too. If Gucci Mane came out in 96, nikkas would have him ran out of the ATL.

Sad thing is that there ain't no more black movies or black tv shows having wide releases. No more "Boyz in da Hood" or "The Fresh Prince"

That's what I was thinking with the music since Puff Daddy isn't any better than Future but TV. Naw, it was much better than.

I watched a The Howling film on netflix and they turned it into Twilight with vampires. I thought. I didnt grow up on this rubbish.

I think shyt was better back then bc my young mind didn't understand the finances and pending riches encompassing a "project." Now, I look at most of today's efforts as people jumping the shark to make money; throwing creativity in the bushes. For example, multiple sequels (Twilight series), constant remakes of movies, re-ups of reality television and music as a whole.

 

[cleanface coney]

nope

Yeah, but especially when it comes to movies a lot of that was fools gold. Those movies were good, but how many hood stories can we tell?

That material has already been mined and buried, so can we now tell entertaining stories about our history, and overall different, weightier, more complex subject matter other than a crazy niqqa named o'dog shooting up half the black males in Los Angeles? And more importantly will black audiences, and the overall movie going public respond to less superficial stories that revolve around a black cast, and dont completely revolve around sex and purposeless violence?

2012 was the best year for hip hop in over a decade. Mainstream artists arent afraid anymore to rhyme words that are more than one syllable long, and tell stories that exist outside of the nightclub or car showroom.
