I'm 19 and I don't like 90's rap that much. It's like dudes just wanted to show how dope they were on the mic and too many people sounded similar...

With that being said, I've always liked pop music more than rap music and 80's pop>everything else imo:hubie:.

I was raised around Gucci Mane and Jeezy and southern hip hop, but I've always had an ear for good music...

To me, the 90's is severely lacking in depth because the true greats are the only one's that are brought up and referred to as classics. You never hear the 'floor' of 90's rap because it was just as bad as the worst shyt is today. Dude's just don't like to bring that up...

Like in West Coast rap. Dude's would say some of the corniest, most cringe-worthy shyt, but no one noticed because it was masked by a nice beat and the artist's cadence.


you don't know wtf you are talembout.

18 years old.

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?

Gucci Mane is historically known for putting out fast food music and your worrying about depth

If you want melody raps the wrong genre for you period, for you to not recognize rhythmic melodies in rappers flows just takes not paying enough attention, most times when people be saying shyt like this, they werent listening to the music correctly in the first place.

The 90's had fun songs though.









The 90's was full of fun. It wasn't only that but there was plenty of fun songs back in the day.

I don't see how you can call Neighbors by J Cole "fun" because that's more of a smooth track. That Drake song is smooth too. Nobody is dancing to Neighbors by J Cole, there's nothing fun about that track.

Didn't mention AZ specifically, there were 100s of other artists during that time period, not all of them were AZ.

I understand the 80's had classics that wouldn't have that reputation if they came out now but hip hop wasn't in those development stages i like to say in the 90's. Give me a good 90's song with bars that's not up to par with what you hear in todays rap.

You clearly don't know what you talking about .... yeah certain shyt sound the same but that's where it stops


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

:snoop: stop trolling- u ain't fooling nobody
