The old schoolers hating on new cats really is lame

[BlackZilla]

That might sound ideal to you but most people would feel like they're living a nightmare if they have to go to the club and dance on bytches to A Tribe called Quest Some of you just have to accept the fact that people don't want to hear that type of music these days - that's why it no longer exists. Nostalgia is a motherfukker.

So people would have a nightmare is they hear Electric Relaxation?

Not even between rappers...but the genre itself. Niccas don't respect the game. I mean -

1) The elements don't matter anymore. I'm not even a KRS-ass "I am hip-hop" dude, but damn - graffiti is dead. Niccas is too cool to dance. DJing ain't what it used to be. Most people don't even know "knowledge" was an element. MCing is the only thing that matters...

2) ...which doesn't really mean what it used to mean, either. What happen to niccas freestyling? You ask a nicca to spit and he pull out his phone?? The fucc? Spit some bars off the top...

3) "Established" rappers not battling? Sheeit.

4) Before you even got a chance to rap for some real money, you had to be a nicca with clout. By that I mean, you had to pay dues and earn your burn. A nicca can make a rap, shoot a vid and put it on YouTube and blow up next month without having to retrospect the game.

"Progress" is all good. But just because something is "new" doesn't mean it is "progressive". "Progress" means taking something and improving it. You can't improve anything if you take most of the good stuff away from it!

First of Freestyle and Off top of the dome are two completely different things, Freestyle is when u got 16's you can spit on any beat and honestly you think your favorite rappers can spit some "It aint hard to tell" type of verse off top

Second you must not have been living in the real world cuz where ever I got there's niccas freestyling, battling and dancing against each other
Or Maybe you're too old to be around a young crowd to witness things like that but I can imagine it must suck to grow

Third DJ aint dead breh niccas just got tired of hearing vynil scratches Around my hood there's still plenty of Graffiti shxt breh Where you stay at?

who would not dance on girl to bonita applebum or electric relaxation? I cant believe what I been hearing on this board. some dude was even calling jdilla a no name whack producer. whack rappers got called out back then and put on blast. the difference back then was that the mainstream artists were usually the best mcs. you cant deny the classics that were dropped consecutively.

Really..you go from Rakim to Flocka and call THAT PROGRESS?!

That nikka is lost. Nobody has been successful at making one of these threads yet.

Tell 'em. There is not one broad in the club that wouldn't dance if "Hot Sex" came on because that sh*t go hard.

I dont think its about older heads hating on younger cats...i think its younger cats just coming out with an inferior product and the older heads telling it how it is....look how much love Kendrick Lamar is getting from older heads

First off....I been a fan of rap since 1988, "Mary Mary" was the first rap joint I ever heard, shyt changed my life

But this whole thing where old schoolers hate on all this new rap is straight up corny.

I still listen to Kane, Rakim, G Rap, EPMD and all that 90s rap

But I also like Flocka, Gucci, Jeezy, Drake and a lot of other newer rappers.

Is there anything wrong with that? Naw. It's called progressing with the times.

Rap was a baby in the 80s and 90s, not a lot of options and still discovering itself. Now it's emerged as a global art form and there are countless rappers trying to come up in a genre of music that's no longer just a means of expressing ones self but also a very good means of making money.

And honestly....how are the youngin's supposed to respect our opinions when we say "That Flocka shyt sucks, listen to EPMD for real rap"....they just gonna say "fukk you old man you don't know shyt".....besides, what did the elders say to us regarding Rakim? "That shyt is wack, listen to Donny Hathaway for real music"

Plus....rap has changed, a lot. "Paid in Full" had joints that were like 8 minutes long with 4 minutes of just instrumental, you can't get away with shyt like that today. Plus that production was a lot more simplistic. How a kid who grew up on "I Really Mean It" gonna think the Eric B. is President beat is fire when it's simple as hell to his ears? That shyt was groundbreaking to US, but kids today have a much different perspective on shyt.

I ain't trying to start any shyt, cause I understand the frustration of old school fans feeling like rap has changed, cause it has, so either stay left behind and be in the corner complaining that rap sucks now, or embrace the new generation of hip hop and realize it's never gonna be what it is but there's still a lot of dope shyt out there

To each its own... I like some of today's artist but just like back in the late 80's thru the 90's there are wack artist. So I like Kendrick Lamar, Currensy, Ab Soul, School Boy Q, Blu, and some others. Now the ones you named I really cant listen too because I don't like their crafts but that's me.

everyone that is old isn't an elder

Some of these old-school rappers don't deserve any respect

If you can't pay child support (scarface,rakim), if your smoking crack or have a serious drug addiction(one of the members of the pharcyde), if you beat your wife (big pun), if you pose butt naked in a magazine (big daddy kane), if your a fake mafioso (biggie,nas), act like a c00n on tv (flavor flav)

guess what, I am not going to respect u

Maybe you'll respect this neg rep then.

First of Freestyle and Off top of the dome are two completely different things,

back in the 90s when somebody busted a "Freestyle" most likely it was "off the dome" and you get laugh at or clowned if you spit a written.Rappers on Tv always spit a "freestyle verse" off their upcoming album as a preview to what your going to hear if you buy the album.

now you got kids breaking out cellphones in a circle spittin written raps thinkin its a freestyle session

frestyle sessions in the 90s sounded a lot like this...

[bangedher_wholesquad]
