What does "aging terrible" mean

[SoulController]

song is close to 30 years old, very crispy. talking to a woman doesnt age, and the beat still hot making this timeless



this song was liked by many in the year 2003, try to listen to 30 seconds of that beat. its fukking terrible

Get Rich Or Die Trying aged terribly.

Good god

GRODT as a whole minus a couple tracks fits this mold.

 

[old boy]

thing is i wasnt a GRODT fan at the time so it didnt "age terribly"

compared to the mixtapes Fif was putting out the album couldnt compete

i look at it like this, if i liked it then i like it now. i dont care how old the beats are. they dont get terrible all of a sudden because of technological advances, thats crazy.

Some shyt has a nostalgia feel also

And that doesn't mean it's a classic just becuz everytime you hear it you think of that summer back in 1994

 

[Here Comes the Pain]

Biggie`s albums is probably the most well aged music in hip hop.

Horrible opinion to the person that said it aged horribly.

mmlp1/grodt sounds dated, illmatic sounds fresh and timeless

Not "Halftime".

 

[ThaRealness]

When its money driven in the shyt wont age well

I’ve seen nikkas on here say GRODT aged terribly...

who said that dumb ass shyt?

 

[The Blind Man]

Couple things.

I always thought future generations decide on "classic" status.

This usually highlights important pieces of art which have been missed in real time. Hip-Hop reanimated catalogues of forgotten musicians, across multiple genres and turned them into classic artists.

Using that metric, if something didn't age well, its simply not a classic. Does that make it less of a personal favourite, of course not.

Forcing classic status on something usually breaks it.

MMLP and GRODT are examples of albums that didn't age well. I never liked GRODT all that much from the jump, but that's whatever. Illmatic, as classic as it is, is definitely dated though.

It was in some thread, multiple people were saying it

Lol. I forgot about this song. shyt still slappin.

 

[7th Letter Specialist]

I think alot of times its more the listener than anything else. Its albums that were the soundtrack to my youth that I would instantly trash today. Or songs I couldn't stand back in the day are making their way into my regular rotation

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Some of those old sampled joints sound even more rich and refreshing than those new trap shyts.
Most Trap shyts today won't be played in 2040 but some of the boombap and soulful stuff will i think.

I still think genres like Soul and Funk have aged better than most Hip-Hop in general.
