Lol that's great.
i wonder if i'll ever be able to really appreciate current rap like i do the past stuff.
everyone talks about how over-saturated the genre is with new dudes, but i only dig maybe 6 artists total. not sure if it's because i'm just stuck in the 90's or because i just don't feel like dudes are putting in enough effort these days. i hate how it's more about the image than the actual content. overproduced beat + catchy hook = $$$, and it seems everyone knows it and uses it as a cop-out to make papes instead of actually putting blood sweat and tears on the track like it used to be.
i wonder if it's going to change or if it's just going to get worse. i guess only time will tell.
fortunately for me though i have such a vast collection of older rap/hip-hop i don't think i'll ever get sick of listening to it. shit, i've been bumping memphis stuff religiously for like 8 years now and know every track by heart yet i still feel like i'm listening to some of it for the first time. with new releases i can barely get one full playthrough before i'm bored of it. don't know if that's indicative of my tastes of just the state of the game. maybe both.

They burned B.o.B. out so quick. And then you look at how P$C, Young Dro, etc. did and yeah.
At least he has creative freedom at Def Jam.
being that jaded must be difficult.
When your taste is all occult and death that, suicide this, it limits your options.

This is one of the instances where I'm happy that I grow tired of stuff quickly. Pretty much forces me to look for new artists.
I mean, how many times can I re-listen to Papoose and U-God's classics, right?
Papoose about to drop 2007's AOTY.

Dudes in here talking about chakras and shit.... and that Jay over Nas as the G.O.A.T. ...ya'll have lost your minds.
is having standards for what you like really being jaded though? i mean i don't listen to pop music because it's garbage to me because i don't appreciate a single aspect that goes into making it, or the final product, not because i'm jaded. i'm not necessarily saying "rappers should make 90's rap", i'm just waiting for dudes to do something on that level again.
and ftr when i said i like 6 dudes i didn't mean in total, i meant current artists putting stuff out.
like if i grew up listening to the beatles or something and then turn on the radio one day and keep hearing limp bizkit on repeat i'm going to be like what the fuck is this? this is not what rock should be...
recon you're like a half-assed troll but i'll give you a response anyway since i'm typing so much... i don't only like horrorcore shit, i like all the good shit from NY - even some current stuff from there, i some southern rap like z-ro and 8ball and all them, not so much west coast shit, but a lot of east coast rap. the triple 6 and jak progresso does tend to get more play from me though

I wasnt trolling, thats just all you ever post, plus the occasional bay rapper. I know you like the classics, I was only referring to modern rap you like. Im really not trying to rile you up or troll you.

B1G i get what you're saying, but its hard to not have a time capsule of who you were/what was goin on at the time - took me a while to accept it but i can't rightly seperate shit like that in my mind
like, i love tribe for the same reasons i did in the day, but hearing Midnight Marauders brings so many feels
TIMELESS
im sayin tho

Just your tastes and glorification of he past.
i don't consider that having standards. there's just faaaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much shit out there these days to only be enthusiastic about a few acts.
there will always be good music & bad music, you just have to know where to look to satisfy what you want.
I feel music will continually get better and better anyway, production & technology gets better & competition gets higher and higher. it sounds like you almost shut off music made now, you have to have an open mind and learn appreciate certain things. i used to hate shit on the radio until I actually started listening to the radio, now I love most of the stuff I hear & I have an appreciation for what it takes for a song or artist to even get on the radio and the quality of production that goes into a hit

I kinda agree with Recon on that's all you ever post. I mean I was surprised as hell when you linked a Mike Jones song at some point.
I would recommend something, but I only know you like that dark shit lol. That you seem to have well covered already

Agree. I went through a conscious rap-fuck-mainstream-shit phase til I realized that mainstream stuff has value to it, and sometimes there is a reason why underground shit stays underground.
Pilot Talk by Curren$y is a modern classic. It will change your mind about modern hip hop
Word. You ever listen to MOTM?
the worst phase a rap fan will ever go through.
Yeah I do post that shit often but you see on occasion I post about various other stuff I'm listening to. I don't ONLY listen to dark shit, it's just like that's my staple out of my stuff. I'm open to everything unless it's just blatant lowest common denominator music, which unfortunately most the current stuff is. If it has tact I'll check it out, and if a dude whose taste I trust recommends it I'll definitely listen.

Im going off dark liqours right now. Been on the vodka for the last 6 days and this shit is a game changer.
Im talking about being in the city off my fucking face on the stuff, waking up the next day with no hangover in sight. None. Tired as fuck with a mouth as dry as a nuns vagina but no headaches or dodgy stomach or any of that usual stuff.
Oh and in the club this weekend, no hip hop getting played, DJ plays the Foreigner song and transistions into this version. Shit was so live, hadnt heard it in years and the circumstances made it even better.

No, the worst phase is listening to only mainstream radio. A good balance is best.
Yo dude, look above, you missed a chance to shit on MOTM.

Real Talk right here.... Shit opened the door to me appreciating this current generation of nice rappers. Not for nothing these young dudes are the first group of young rappers to come correct since the 90's.
Ken Masters happens.
