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

[Blackout]

True sampling and especially g funk was a way for the new school to connect with the old.

But now with the repetitive computer generated beats the connection is cut.

My like of funk is why I want to learn how to play bass guitar

 

[mobbinfms]

We need the funk

A lot of cats really have no music IQ or any type of database to draw from. People hardly dig for or discover music on a mainstream level.

If it ain't in your YouTube recommended

Can't any of the streaming services provide curation and history?
I grew up in the Bay Area. Our radio stations played classic hip hop records, Prince, MJ, freestyle, r&b.
Then I would watch Rap City and every Wednesday it would be Old School Wednesdays so I got exposed to shyt from the 80s that I missed.
Artist comes on the show? You see their old videos too.

 

[Blackout]

A lot of new rap is taking influence from rock indie and punk

That’s it actually

Older rap took from black sources

This new school are taking from white ones.

Rap has lost its soul

 

[Take It In Blood]

for me personally it's the lack of advanced lyricism, robotic sounding autotune, mumbles and adlibs every 5 secs

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

 

[cartierhoe]

But nikkas hated on TPAB

 

[KENNY DA COOKER]

Stir Fry by the Migos is the funkiest song right now on the radio

 

[L. Deezy]

I always wondered where the new rap generations “trap” sound and production came from? If it didn’t derive from older black music (funk) or even 90s early 2000s rap then where?

this is true...

especially the live show

 

[CrushedGroove]

I know Shade45 and Kid Capri on Fly47 on Sirius does segments where they play a hip-hop joint and then mix in the OG song it was sampled from. I think more DJs, from radio to rec center, should do this to keep the history and appreciation going.

I do this with my kids all the time. I got FL and show them how the song they like is chopped up and I let them add drums. That's how my son learned to play keyboard.

 

[Poitier]

The Youth have made something for them not you flabby old heads.

Get over it already.

Repped for great parenting

Music appreciation is life appreciation

 

[tuckgod]

this is true...

especially the live show

Breh....

I can’t even watch these nikkas live.

I’ve seen Freddie Gibbs, Schoolboy Q, and Big Krit on stage jumping around on that white boy shyt looking goofy as fukk.

Hard to take them seriously after watching them like that.

I blame Kanye’s fakkit ass.

 

[FlyGuy]

We know it's for them. We're worried

The Youth have made something for them not you flabby old heads.

Get over it already.
