Why can't I enjoy 90's hip-hop?

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

I understand your young nikka trying to justify this piss poor hip hop generation
BUT stop it !!!!
with your nonsense, damn near every fukking rapper sounds da same
unlike the 90s when you heard a new rapper for the 1st time one could tell where they was from
east coast, west coast, down south, mid west

stop trolling- u ain't fooling nobody

I never said the quality is better , I said the musical side is better (melodies/song structuring) nikka I could care less about hearing a rapper and knowing his regional sound that was always the dumbest shyt in hip hop to me. Kendrick Lamar sounds a lot similar to Meek Mill And Meek sounds very similar to XXXTentacion and XXXTentacion sounds exactly like Mac Miller You sound like a dumbass b

This show you how mentally, physically and spiritually low this generation is. I'm 40 years old 88 I was coming to age at 11 years old, I was listening to NWA, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Kane, Eric B, Too Short, Ice T, Grew Up listening to The Furious 5, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Whodini, Cold Crush Brother's etc.

Some of these artist was your age dropping classic albums touching Grown Man topics, you guys have no hope

the thing is i love reasonable doubt. i love ilmatic.

vol 1, 2 and 3 i just wasnt feeling. there were no songs on there like can i live, dead presidents, feelin it, etc.

Real talk, I was there and even I wasn't feeling the vol 1, w, 3 either.

A lot of younger cats around your age seem to gravitate towards dmx's first two albums so you may wanna give that a shot.

I also recommend it was written and the infamous

 

[GeeEffKay]

I feel bad for you then. Keep trying though cause there are so many amazing albums to go through.

Don't underestimate how the lack of R&B music in today's world is impacting these kids taste in "hip hop"

In the 90's' we looked to Mary J, Aaliyah, Montell Jordan, Blackstreet, 702, etc. for upbeat urban songs. Grimey hip-hop was balanced out with happy dance tunes

Now cats are relying on Drake, Rae Sremmurd, Future, Uzi Vert, Fetty Wap, for that lane, and it's held against you if you don't have melodies in your rhymes. My lil bro told me a long time ago when Drake first got hot, that you can't judge him with the 90's standards for MC'ing. These artists are different.

Is it really that hard to enjoy stuff before your time?

You not being able to enjoy early underground hip hop because it lacks melody is understandable if you grew up on today's hip hop.

Being melodic wasn't something that was really praised back then.

You were more praised for how hard, rugged, gutter your shyt sounded.

As far as the quoted line, I was born in '78 and a lot of the music I love most was made before then.

I LOVE Jazz from the 40s - 70s, Soul music from the 50s - 70s, Rock music from the 60s - 70s, shyt pretty much all genres of music made in the 60s - 70s.

My 2 Egyptian friends love Nas and Mobb Deep and all that That tells you all you need to know

And just What the fukk is that supposed to tell me?




All it tells me is that they have better taste than you. Sonically speaking


@The Exchanges quoted you but he's probably laughing just so he doesn't feel dumb.

A couple are but they're kinda more with the whole soundcloud emo druggie shyt like X, Lil Pump etc. Rest are black. I fukks with Drake before the last album.

Congratulations, you have more black friends than @A Tribe Called Quest ™

Shouldn't be a big surprise though because he lives in Saudi Arabia or some shyt like that.

Never really get the age/"before my time" excuse either. I'm 24 and didn't really start showing a serious interest inmusic until I was 14. I listen to 90s shyt more than anything from the last decade. Hell, most people here mistake me for an old head

Why do you old heads get so caught up in the newer generation liking what they like without bombarding them with your "well back in my days" stories?

Looking objectively its foolish to compare the generations. The culture is different, the technology is different, the drugs are different, the attitudes are different, the parents are different, America is different, the world is different.

old heads just repeating the same cycle the parents who didnt fukk with hip hop did in the 90's.

Our era is dead...get over it.Let the kids like what they like. I gaurantee you same old heads would respond the same way if I bombarded you with old school jazz music from the 30's, 40's and 50's. If I went in speaking about how music was better when Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker and Billie Holiday was running shyt ya'll would eventually repel from anything i say and revert your attention back to loving 90's hip hop no matter what I say about old school jazz.

Let the kids have their era.

I remember a few years ago ever rapper was literally using the same structure with punch lines like "If I was at the mall you know I balled chemo." that's when I basically gave up lol.
