Some stuff literally sounds like the decade it was recorded in. There's music from all eras that sounds dated (or ahead of it's time) and usually that's directly related to the talent of the team who recorded it and how well the technology is used.


The technology used to record motowns hits is very run of the mill in 2017 but it's timelessness comes from all the ingredients being perfect.

A good example is DMX he has plenty of stuff that still sounds fresh but there specific tracks ( or more specifically beats) which sound very,very dated
and well...cheap.

While 2001 was/is recorded in such a way that whether you're playing it in 1999 or 2099 the shyt'll still knock.

Like what?

The keyboard beats from the late 90s.. I loved a lot of that music back then.. Now not so much.. It's the only time period I don't really care to revisit..

I might rock with it for nostalgic purposes but I don't go back and listen to the Death Certificate and feel nostalgic. I genuinely just still enjoy the shyt out of that album..

That's the best way I can describe it..

[Tribal Outkast]

If you really want to bring up outdated shyt, look no further than



Etc etc etc

 

[Sauce Dab]

Go into a Ludacris thread. A lot of posters say it in there

 

[the cool]

I see people use this to discredit hip hop legends



How does a classic "not age well"


Good music stay good music


The chronic takes me bacc to 90s Los Angeles

The infamous puts me in 90s NYC



If anything the new shyt that's out now will age terrible


No one in 2040 is gonna play some famous dex and be like "oooo I feel like I'm in 2016 "

The two albums you mentioned aged very well tho

The two albums you mentioned aged very well tho

This. Those albums don't fall into the "didn't age well" categorie. Compare that to an album like Dmx "flesh of my flesh" which was the shyt when it came out and is barely listenable today for a more accurate example. As far as RTD goes, it is true that sonically it didn't age too well, because a lot of its beats were really generic. It has great songs that stand out, but also songs like "me and my bytch", which even at the time was subpar production. That doesn't diminish the impact it had when it came out, and i wouldn't go as far as saying it aged terrible, but it isn't like the chronic where you put it in 25 years later and it still bangs the way it did when it first came out.

 

[The Notorious K.I.M.]

@ the narrative that RTD didn’t age well based on 2 bars

Your bytch knows every word to Juicy and Big Poppa

Juicy and Big Poppa sample songs that were already classic.

Exactly. Dudes mad some of their favorites get listed is all

Aged horribly= This once sounded dope, now it's unlistenable.

I think the OP is referring to sounding "dated", which basically means it sounds of its era and sounds old compared to modern sounds and styles. It doesn't mean it's not of high quality, just that it's not something that sounds modern.

Also true

nikkas be talking about "music doesn't age" but use adjectives like "timeless"
