The honest truth is ... because you were raised different

shyt wasnt fun back then ... and now everything is fun and goofy


It was also the beginning of technology, so you were starting to stunt in your rhymes
another thing this generation has no clue about ... In the 90s you could have a car phone
and nobody else around would have even seen one. There were real levels to this flossing shyt

absolutely no gimmicks or computer programs to hold your hand
people actually hated eachother and fought
Drake in 92 would have been a different man :russ: cats would be at his shows trying to fukk him up daily
He wouldnt be the same rapper at all.. shyt was more real and dangerous
wtf?:lolbron:

Its true ... name some real shyt that goes on now?
In the 90s Bone Thugs stomped out their own members
nikkas werent getting along ... people were getting robbed
90% of groups hated eachother... People were jumping on stage and stealing shows from people
Nobody was dancing, people were fighting :russ:

There's a video of Redman and his crew punching the soundman for fukking the sound up ... whole place turns into a brawl
You had to walk into danger to be places :russ: People could have no reason at all to fukk you up ... it was a wild game :wow:

I said musically/sonically are you dumb? This not counting lyrics dumbass :mjlol:... I'm talking about song structure and the more artist side to music.... Hip Hop in the 90's had more imperfections and blemishes but those blemishes actually made the records lowkey ... Sonically Rap was still apart of the streets in the 90's and wasn't as advanced as it is now that's why people love it so much ...

Going back to op, really breh, the shyt you think is "melodic" is that vince staples shyt? sounds like they took some fl studio preset packs and put together a paint by the numbers trap-esque beat

This is how its done:



retarded drum programming, producer playing instruments, retarded syncopation, breaks and samples :blessed::blessed:

I been making my way through Jay-Z discography. I like Reasonable Doubt but vol 1, 2, and 3 are hella boring to me.

A lot of Wu Tang songs sound really boring to me.

They're just bars. There's no real melody. I'm sure if I printed out lyrics I'd appreciate it, but they don't sound fun to me. Fun songs to me are like Drake - 4PM in Calabasas, Kendrick Lamar - DNA, J.Cole - Neighbours, Vince Staples - Big Fish, etc.

I like some 90's songs like Ice Cream and Atliens, but I can't listen to a full album cause it gets boring. 4:44 >>>>>>> any Jay-Z album for me. Is it really that hard to enjoy stuff before your time?
It sounds like you are more worried about catchy pop music tbh which is fine. In the 90s most people weren't fukking with you if you couldn't actually rap lol.
