Quick question. Why do y'all want or expect young rappers to rap like its the 90s

[Lord Mecca]

We don't want young rappers to rap like the 90s... we want the young rappers to be able to actually rap.

 

[TheObserver]

I remember when people would complain about rappers doing songs with no hooks..
Now these dudes make songs with no verses.. just a long ass hook/w talking in between LOL

[T.H.E. Goat]

I feel you, but younger artists should take pride in making meaningful music sometimes....instead of disposable club music

 

[Shadow King]

We don't want them to be like anything in particular. We just want them to respect the culture

We want them to be more lyrical and creative

quick question - why do you think we want them to rap like its the 90s?

nikkas just want them to rap better.
people always bring up the 90s when you call someone trash.

Ironically enough none of these old nikkas fukk with Joey Badass and other rappers "restoring the feelin"

I'm in my early 30's and I don't mind the new music, I actually enjoy a lot of it.

My only problem is where is the diversity?? Everybody keeps putting out the same shyt.

It's a "damned if you do, dammed if you don't" situation for these youngins:

Do 90s revival shyt = Old heads call it biting, say if they want 90s shyt they'll listen to 90s shyt
Do present day shyt = Old heads call it garbage, say they'll stick to listening to 90s shyt

Nah breh, don't make this some young brehs vs flabby brehs type shyt because I'm only 21 and I think all these new rappers is retarded. It's no more amazing lyricist and the "lyrical" dudes we hold in regard today only get those accolades because everyone else sound like monkeys with auto tune. We praise people like Kendrick but honestly him and current rappers like him(besides Earl Sweatshirt, that boy beastly) would only be average at best underground rappers back in the day.

Which is why I respected Odd Future, Danny Brown, ASAP Rocky, Childish Gambino and Chance The Rapper, they said fukk that and made their own lane.

Well rappers are definitely more creative nowadays.

And why do motherfukkas have to be "lyrical" to be good anyway. Some of our greatest rappers were not lyrical at all.

"Lyricism" as a whole wasn't even something that hip hop was built up on. Rappers from the 80s weren't lyrical miracle. That was only a staple on the east coast when Ra came thru for a couple of years.

Then west coast music came thru with more emphasis on bass, synths n musicality. Dre n Eazy weren't spitting multi's n doubles

like many other trends this genre has gone thru. Being lyrical was a fad. And something that should be seen as a side dish rather than a main requirement

lmao dont talk sense these old nikkas cant handle the truth

 

[Pifferry]

Depends on which artists they're hating on.
