For this to be a hip hop website a lot of y'all older nikkas are so out the loop of new music its embarrassing. Like dude saying he hasn't heard a Drake album since thank me later. You haven't listened to one of the most popular artists in hip hop for the past 6 years? If all you want to do is complain about how much hip hop of today sucks without listening to it, than keep it to yourself, no one is forcing you to listen to it or have it on your mind. Stay stuck in 1995 if you want to, no one gives a fukk one way or the other about you opinion. You wanting to relive 90's hip hop doesn't mean shyt in 2015, and it won't mean shyt in 2020, 2030 and so on. The world moves on beyond your youth, get the fukk over it

the majority of the country isnt from new york. LL always got mainstream radio but they werent playing dear yvette. never heard krs on daytime radio. just like now kendrick is present but they not playing the art of peer pressure. big, unbelievable wasnt on no top 5 at 5. radio always played commercial shyt period. the raw shyt has always been corralled into a specialized show or not played at all. the shyt has never changed

Breh you're splitting hairs here. Dude said "radio didn't change". I said people like Pac, BIG, Wu, Outkast, BONE....people that could actually rap, basically as well as they wanted to in the context of their singles....got radio play.

Now you're talking about specific songs.

I never said they were playing a KRS medley on prime time radio. I said people nowadays will say a hit record, a club record, something that is played on the radio "ain't meant to be taken seriously" to deflect criticism....which is silly as fukk because every major rapper in the 90's had "commercial" songs I wouldn't have to issue a disclaimer for.

Lastly, a commercial song from the 90's is not the same as a commercial song from 2015.

Theres strawman's up and down this post.

Who is saying a "song isn't meant to be taken seriously? What songs are they saying this about?

A commercial song from the 90s and 2015 is different in what way?

If what you have today is unrelated to the Old School, how can we call both "Hip Hop"?

It's okay to disavow Run DMC.. I guess. But you have to divorce yourself from Hip Hop if you deny the roots of it.

The exact same criticism of old heads not staying on top of new rap can be said of new niqqas who don't bother to do the one on the history.

I for one am 20 but I grew up on 80's and 90's rap because of my father's tastes in music. So did a lot of folks my age, not every young person is clueless on old school rap. Who tf is saying they're trying to forget old school rap? Call current rap whatever tf you want if you don't feel its real hip hop, it doesn't matter. Just like motherfukkers wanting to live in the past doesn't matter. Time moves on. nikkas ain't still talking about disco or funk from the 70's. You think this is an argument that anybody will care about 15 years from now?

I think once u get older you just naturally grow out of the content that most rap music offers. When people say that "back in my day..." shyt they think they're referring to quality, when really it's just that shyt impacted them differently as youngins than it does as adults. 20 years from now the youngins today will be bragging about how dope this current era was

I am on the Hip Hop is Dead wave, but I check myself.

My folks told me that [sampling*] wasn't real music (*[insert musical aspect]). Said our shyt was ignorant. Too lewd. Too violent.

They have to defy the old thinking and dress and talk in ways that make us uncomfortable. We sure did.

Most instances of sampling only amount to reiterations of real music

wait wait wait i cant even let you speak another sentence. most of us are hearing drake without trying to. he's on the radio all day, all night. his face is plastered every where you go. the regular news is talking about Hot line Bling. The entire planet knew about him and meek. so please. Stop it. And if i were you, i would never try to defend this generation with a Fraud. use kendrick, use cole, somebody else. not the fraud. Not drake the cover band.
The fact that yall allowed a dude and his team become the #1 artist in hiphop where all he does is crews around looking for the next hot underground thing and then steals their vibe(their soul), and asks for some ghost written lyrics to put over that beat. This is what yall call a great artist. We are speaking chinese to yall if thats your #1 rapper.

i know yall want to defend your generation. but please do yourself a favor and never use this clown.
