The absence of Funk's influence is a big reason for the disconnect between old and new Hip Hop.

I don't even fukk with 69 like that or make threads about him

It's 2018 the 70's was 40 years ago, nikkas still sample, but the young gen got they own shyt stop hating on the youth, hip-hop is youth music and doing the same shyt from decades ago is backwards.

Last time responding to you.

Read through the thread and learn something or don't.

Either way, shut the fukk up.

As usual, you don't know what you're talking about.

What does any of that have to do with this thread?

This ain't a thread dissin youngstas or bigging up old shyt, I'm just making a point that I think the absence of a connection to traditional Black American music, especially the grooves and basslines of Funk music, is the cause of the current disconnect between younger and older hip hop music consumers.

You know folks can't enjoy a thread unless they're arguing

That's nothing new...

Nobody said that never happened

What we are saying is that back then taking from black influences was the main move unlike now.

Keep up bruh

So you saying now artists are primarily taking from white influences and rock/punk music?

A few alternative rap artists who enjoy rock music pop on the scene and now y'all hyperbolize shyt like the whole rap game is on that wave.

Speaking of being exposed, I had people in my life put me onto things.

Oh, you like that Jay joint? Peep his first album.

Oh, I bet you ain't never heard DMX like this.

That melody is hot right? Look where it's from.


Music is only for listening now, you're not really digesting/consuming it. I pride myself on being studious, but I've seen a lot of people pride themselves on ignorance

Breh...

That is exactly what made me fall in love with hip hop music and culture.

I can appreciate all types of music because I was a fan of hip hop first.

I couldn't even listen to a project for the first time unless I had the jacket liner notes in my hand studying everything from the records sampled, to the writers/features/producers/engineers, to what studio it was recorded in.

Then being able to cross reference all that information and constantly being put on to more and more dope shyt..

Repped.

Not really sure what this has to do with anything as De La, by their own admission, was rapping over samples nobody else would use or even think of at the time. So his point still stands.

A lot of us older cats were late to the internet movement, and by the time we got our footing, youngins was already on some way other shyt, so the shyt we was talking about was foreign to them.

and thats why the old heads should fall the fukk back and let the kids do them. Who gives a shyt if these kids aren't into funk. Let them do them.


Also..

i was on the internet in 1999...I dont relate to this post. I come from the Blackplanet and Napster era.

My boys and I were actually discussing this. Most people who are "fans" of music are genre fans. They like a certain sound. If you love hip-hop you just become a music head period.

Why would old heads fall back from a genre our generation started that's been around 40+ years?

It would be like 90's teens telling 70's cats to fall back from disco. It makes no sense whatsoever.

I'll tell u why.

Because Funk Master Flex who saw the 70's once spoke about how 70's cats was looking at 90's cats as not doing hip hop like how it originally started. But aint no one gonna tell a 90's cat what they were experiencing wasn't real hip hop. Same rule applies to this generation.
