Its an expensive habit but wiz & currensy got these dudes spending extra trying to fit in for some girl scout cookies etc when you can just go to the hood & get some kush, sour, haze, & reggie = mid, i hate when ppl say mid is an upgrade from reggie just to up the value :smh:

Thank you. I've been feeling this way for years now.

I don't care if a ***** is getting paid. If he sucks then he sucks.
Stop it. Now.
Name 5-10 rappers right now making good music. Who's names aren't Jay-Z, Eminem, Kanye West (he ain't even making god music anymore.), and haven't come from the 90's/early 2000's...


This whole "being lyrical isn't everything excuse is a cop out to let these subpar ****** come in a release this trash. Yeah lyrical technicality ain't everything, but LYRICS and the message/story behind them are.

And there are less than a handful of new ****** who are doing it on a decent level anymore.

****** making songs about the same **** on every album. Drakes whole damn catalogue is about how he wants to save ******g strippers and how he eats with italians. But this is who ****** are looking to for good music? This is the standard? Cause this dude can make catchy hooks and can hold a note?


**** that ****.

There's more to hip hop than being able to rhyme. And thats all most of these new ****** can do.

Just curious...

How do y'all who grew up on late 80s/early 90s rap define a rap artist?

I'm very interested in generational gaps.

what i look for in a good rapper is the ability to excite me with his/her usage of the english language

whether by telling a story while staying within the flow of the beet or by coming with original new ways to rhyme 

lyrics >>>> production 

hate when these new school rappers come up with a half witty line and repeat it 67 times through out the song by making it a one line hook

I don't think you've actually listened to enough 90s rap to even form that opinion. I think you should simply say you don't like the 90s rap you've heard and stop there.

It definitely does cover emotions and other aspects of life that we experience. You'd just have to really dig in the crates and listen to a lot of rappers and groups from 1990 to 99. So I'd say that was a gross generalization.

1) This is just flat out wrong. I've probably listened to as much if not more 90's rap than most and own probably more LP's of 90's rap than most can/could account for. I still have a crate full of cassette tapes of 90's rap that I used to collect. S/O Slauson Swapmeet.

2) Do you know how many rap records came out in the 90's? As with any genre in any time period, It would be impossible to listen to everything, therefore a generalization on the genre would have to be made if one were to try and draw a conclusion about said genre.

I'm not saying listen to everything or for you to take on the task. I'm saying because you haven't listened to everything let alone enough you can't make such a gross generalization to support your opinion about why you dislike 90s rap music. It's false and misleading. Also you're not drawing a conclusion of the genre, just a period in time of the genre. It's one thing to say Rock sucked in the 90s but it's a whole other unreasonable thing to say it sucked because it lacked the depth and reach to cover different emotions and aspects of life we all experience.

You can go ahead and belief 90s rap doesn't cover those aspects of life but it doesn't make it true.

I'm a bit lost on you collecting 90s rap music and now saying it just sounds bad to you but maybe that turn of the century rap really changed your opinion, at least sonically (**** maybe your speakers were busted?), especially the part about it being more versatile from a writing perspective. Wise Intelligent is rolling over in his bed.

Unlikely.

I'm not really sure about that, cause during Lil John's run, he was only a fraction of a lot of variety in the radio. Today's mainstream radio is basically a monopoly. Everybody seems like they're under the same label, using the same producers and recycling the same songs and beats over and over.

Agreed.I can't tell the difference from one song to the next.

This website (besides the things it does right with charity) is mostly just filled with superficial idiots who idolize a Nike sign. Spending hundreds of dollars on shoes over and over again to be gaudy and show off in public. When in reality, 99.3% of the public could care less about what you wear feet.

While kids from Indoensia make your shoes for cents everyday and Nike exploits your intelligence by charging you 200$ for a shoe; apparently it's wrong or taboo to discuss fake shoes in here, you'll get banned. Why should you get banned? At least you're directly putting money into the pockets of the less fortunate. Rather than filling the pockets of those geezers in Oregon who won't supply jobs to our Americans, but sure as hell have no issue taking advantage of your feeble little minds.

Thus shoe culture is a joke, and if you're over 20 years old and still involved in this - please don't have children. Spare the world.
