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

[The Exchanges]

20 years from now nikkas gonna be like, 2pac? He overrated.

I haven't heard one Nas song.

Drake got classics.

The dumb are mostly intrigued by the drum

maybe when you get older you will enjoy it more, and to be honest listening to jay z vol 2 or 3 if u wasnt around back then , the albums might sound a little dry in the present

music is feeling

Why does this rant sound familiar to me? ...I smell an alias

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?

I'm pretty sure you're an alias...might be time to do that check

Im 37, and I can't listen to a lot of the new stuff out now..Its generational. Not a big deal.

Music has changed, and tastes have changed. Nothing wrong with that.

You answered your own question within your statement. You like your music "fun"... Your a "Funboy" OP.... Your 18 too...which is young but doesn't necessarily mean anything because at 14-15....I was already in tune with the majority of the shyt nggas were talkin about (outside a few adult transgressions). The majority of you younger nggas (not all) are just cut from a different cloth than the previous generation.... minus the rampant drug-use. Rap/hip-hop is a forever evolving genre. We set the trends and the tone, as much as naysayers hate to admit it.... 90s hip-hop is goin on 20-30 years old. Producers and artists have progressed the sound ten-fold since then. So obviously shyt gonna begin to sound outdated. A lot of shyt I loved, as late as the mid 00s' has finally started to sound a lil outdated to me (albeit they're still classics). It starts to become too much a gap sonically. Bars and content has taken a vicious downfall but the sound (beats) never stopped progressing. I think its easier for people that came up in that era, to hear the music on a different level than a young ngga today....because we remember the energy it had then or what it meant at the time. That energy could never be replicated today. Same way you "fun" nggas will talk about a Drake or Uzi 15 years from now..... Only difference is we weren't in to that "Funboy" shyt 24/7....

nikkas wasnt singing like that back then if you looking for that you gon be disappointed

"They're just bars. There's no real melody"

That says it all, no offence.

 

[frush11]

Funnily, I think most kids, would like early 80's hip-hop, if they actually gave it a try. Its a lot more melody driven. Very clear and concise rhyming, not bars heavy.

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Nothing wrong with bars and nothing wrong with melody ... You could argue that musically hip hop is better now ... Sonically it's improved and the music even from soundcloud artist sounds professional asf........ That said 90's hip hop still was grittier .. the street element .. The imperfections that made records actually perfect

 

[Metal Face]

Lol I'm 20 and it's easy for me to enjoy stuff from the 90s.
Maybe you're not into hip hop like that bruh.
