You obviously don’t pay very much attention to modern music , have you heard Kendrick Lamar ?

@@Moe.mp3 You obviously don't pay very much attention when it comes to reading , did you read the part where it said *"some rappers"* ?

"Some rappers" have always let the beat carry everything. This the music industry kid...

Yeah act like some rappers back then wasn't doing that tho​@@Im_Here2 hell atleast now we got flow when there is no lyrics... Back then not having flow just seems more excusable but it's not as catchy as a really good song you find from today

Because you have good ears for music 😊

Hip hop sounded like this up until about 01 02 … then it was over with.

Yup. This trap shit blows.

Same shit , man 👍🏼

The 90s just hit different in most categories.

i dont see the connection

​@@drizzo4669in the 80s a guy robbed the store in the 90s, he says Ps pops got shot trying to rob the corner store, in the 2000s, P is the cousin that helped the girl rob bro in the 2010s the federal informant is the guy that got shot in the shoulder

😂 damn same beat story, different flow

Nah, he didn’t

​@@drizzo4669 I'm glad someone explained it to you but how did you miss it? Listen to the lyrics, it's not hidden at all.

...I concur vehemently brethren! Off top of my head...Ghostface & Rae were two who embraced that element in the '90s

Respect to the ones who came before.

and Rakim!!

@@rudeboysw9 Rakim is a lyricist not a storyteller. "Mahagony"from the Let the Rhythm Hit Em albulm was probably the only time he told a story

💯💯💯💯💯💯

Lol! Right!

Stole a soda during a robbery 🤣

😂😂

Momma said cigarettes gon kill ya but I still smoke😭😭😭

That one got me too🤣😭

But they made it sound like it wasn't😭. That's why we loved it

Me too

@@dryames4319 I'll never forgive your generation for creating the absolute worst era of hip-hop.

“Ahh” 🤡

Dont be saying that man... you gotta talk about the 2010s​@1goldenratiopolitics

He sounds like Ice Cube in them all and obviously in the 1990s

​@pyeltd.5457 I thought he looked a lil like Cube.

Probably not a coincidence either. I feel like the 80s and 90s were a time when the idealism of the previous couple decades fell away and the myth of racial progress came crumbling down. Feelings of frustration and cynism make for good music. In that way 90s hip hop kind of mirrors the way punk music came about in the 80s as a response to Thatcher.

What? The 90's was the pinnacle of western civilization.

@@TheRealBlueSwan Literally was the peak of crime rates

terrible times can create great music

​@@TheRealBlueSwan take off the rose tinted lens my brother

This is one of my favorite things about when he does these videos across the decades. It’s so dope.

holy cow you're right

It can’t its foundation! No matter what it can’t go nowhere.

That's not boom bap tf

Glad it's comin back with Griselda and others today.

@@RawDawgginnitmusic is boom bap

@@alexlewiss8221 boom pap in your cheeks raw dawg!

2020 focus on absolutely nothing, trash, no talent, garbage, Rapploitation is what I name it!

You nailed it ! Good observation !!

20s - all combined thanks to Kendrick 🙌🏾

​@@YoungTCashgiving kendrick way too much credit just because he came out of hiding to do what a handful of rappers have been doing for some time.. seriously it's thanks to any other rapper🤦🏾‍♂️

Got me wondering what the next evolution is frfr

Oh wait, i just realized the guy who got robbed was the informant caught up, Pete later on!

I wonder what pete will have in store for him in this decade!

@@ndhart3213 Mumble rap about being locked behind bars most likely. Everyone else is doing it.

@@DJoka10001 ppl would have said that about the 2010s part in the 2010s especially reddit

​@@DJoka10001just ignorant

Listen to Conway the Machine, Westside Gunn, and Benny the Butcher. They definitely have some of that style

Nah we’re pretty good how we are rn with the whole Griselda movement

We got JID, Cole, Earthgang and coast contra keeping the art alive

@@Makaya9s Coast Contra is great, I also like Adam the Shinobi a lot. It's more dirty south/phonk style, but his flow and techniques are straight up fire

Then listen to my music

*Facts Doe*

Well, it was more authentic, the rappers were 99.9999% street dudes,not fakes who studied how to rhyme in their moms homes

Can't really take anyone seriously who disagrees. Unless they say 80s.

Agree 90s laid the foundation for the art. But it’s just funny/weird hearing those who didn’t live thru that period and actually experience hip hop evolve during that decade talk about it. “Punchline”? Lmao

@Aenigmakil yes,80s was pure storytelling, i think people just default to the 90s, cause that's when hiphop/RnB made love,and gave us the peak golden era

Styrofoam?

okay unc

@@Energyswordsunday2010 up music trash🚮

@@cookieman5987 true for the most part

Fr fr

Joyner got some fire tracks

Aggressive Steven by Aesop is pretty dope

Check out Mind Of A Saint by Skyzoo too. Best album last year imo

Isn't definitely not you probably just don't like the stories they are telling

Storytelling is by no means lost. Especially with the so-called "Big Three".

I heard more prodigy from mobb deep

Absolutely

More Nas imo

Nah, immortal technique

Defs Technique and Nas vibes with em twist endings

But completely in accurate of actual genres themselves

His transitions are pretty inaccurate! here's mine.. *80's Boogie fun disco block/breaking music (Transioning into concious rapstory telling.) *90's Concious rap story telling transitions into Gangster rap. *00's Hip pop! (Just straight R&B Rap/pop!) *10's R&B rap pop transitions into Club bangers (still pop) 20's Emo/Grunge Mumble rap (now starting to transition back to Gangsta hardcore drill rap.)

@@Future-Classic-ComicsStop repeating that nonsense. No one cares about your ridiculous “transition” of genres that you put IN TEXT.😒 It was about storytelling and the genre’s was about the type of flow used so it was accurate.

@@Future-Classic-Comics You did too much

@@jwdathefax377 Hyper sensitive much. Wow you've taken my breaking down of genres at full venom lol chill chill you nut job. 🤣

What about 1980's hip-hop.

All of them are the same story

you got any recommendations?

@@cyprian4869 have you really listened to the beat of single ladies by Beyoncé? Not a rap song but still a beat that is insane. If I think of anymore I will reply after work lol

​@@cyprian4869not OP any song made by Timbaland could come into this.

@@cyprian4869in my white tee sounds exactly like the 2000s beat

​@@playalocmumble rap

sometimes your opinion is a fact too.

@@FinalFlash2110 exactly 😂 “that’s just a fact in my opinion!”

​@CantTellYou haha exactly.

rappers dont seem to take the same pride in their lyricism anymore. I like the melodic shit thats popular now but they should also have something to say it and execute well. There are exceptions but in general they rap about lean, getting their dick sucked, being in the club, getting money and other hedonist stuff. It can hit hard but when it lacks substance when there’s nothing else. JID, Lupe, Kendrick, Denzel and Cole put effort into their craft though, out of the new gen guys

Best story teller ever

Yeah, get a better PC (jk, I know what you mean)

Yeah true, not all hip hop was like that but that was the style then overall

That Soulja boy shyt wasn't the whole 00's

@IStevenSeagal you right, im a 1985 millennial myself, but dem franchise boyz "my white T's" was 2005, so you were off by a few years tho, i still blame 50, wayne, jeezy for killing hphop, just like i blame my millennials for betraying nas for drake, betraying busta rhymes for future, betrayed bone thugz for migos, millennials are responsible, so imm a start being nicer to genZ since its my millennials that killed hiphop

@IStevenSeagal r/whoooosh , dude, i hate dem franchise boys you're so clueless, the song that crank lucas is sampling for 2000s is dem franchise boys song from 2005 i hate dem franchise "my white T's" i hate that song, i am identifying the style crank lucas picked for 2000s man, you're stupid

@IStevenSeagal yeah, 50 cent is lyrically garbage, lloyd banks was the real poet, lloyd banks was the EMCEE, fucking casual you are

Yea that’s when southern rap took over 😢

yeah cuz lil wayne

Sounds like a Lil Jon beat

Homage to the classic "cause Big L be f**king with more keys than a janitor "Da Graveyard", Lifestylez ov da Poor and Dangerous, 1995

what the name of that instrumental

Frr

Big L was my favorite storyteller. Casualties of a Dice Game is absolute 🔥

Agreed. 90s *mainstream* hip hop was the best era of *mainstream* hip hop but in the 00s there were TONS of artists who were influenced by those 90s cats that were impeccable MCs, unfortunately they were all relegated to the underground as the mainstream was taken over by outside interests who saw the profitability of hip hop and pushed artists who were the most marketable as opposed to the most lyrical. For example, I grew up in Boston, Id put the underground hip hop scene here from about 2006 to 2011 up against anyone. TONS of great hip hop music, MCs and producers were doing their thing here at that time. They just got no love from major labels or turned them down because they were better off independent or signing to a minor label. I suspect that there were dope underground scenes all over the country, and even the world, at that time that didn't get anywhere near the recognition they deserved.

@@tonyp1376 exactly bro. And a lot of underground emcees of the 00s rapped about that

Faaacts..that's cus after bout 2010 rap been the same.everybody sound da same basically after thet

Well we still got 6 years of 20s

Yeh cept the 2010's turned into that mumble shit!😂

2000s>

Kendrick Lamar?

Tall Tee wit da sticker 😭😭

Stop It! you was born in 1980...What song was popping in 1980? Boo!

@@ColtanFree I was relating to his style of rap..and in the 80s his name was slick Rick u smart mouth bitch

@@ColtanFree like I said alot of ish was popping then. If u knew ur history lil ninja u would know that. Slick Rick one of the best story tellers there is. That man hit every era correctly. And I stand on what I said smart ass

@@dawndawkins3846That point @ColtranFree was making is you were too young to experience or understand 8O's Hip Hop in its entirety at such a young age.

I was there (as a kid)… they didn't.

I was there (as a kid)...they did! People had come out of the funk of the 70s and 80s was peak fun. New music constantly. Technology was just good enough to make society fun, but not so advanced that it ruled us. We will have another era like the 80s someday, but it'll be a while.

The 80s was peak civilisation. It was all a ramp up to then and a ramp downtown since

saying this about a time you weren't in and over an 80s beat about getting shot over soda is crazy

@@user-jq1mg2mz7o I’m basing that off of footage I’ve seen from that era of people interacting with each other

80s flow sounds cold though 90s always detailed standards really fell You an ill spitter OG

Word up

00's and 10's mainstream for sure was that way. The underground on the other hand was still pushing substance.

Im not trynna be that guy but you guys like. Have heard of Kendrick Lamar? One of the most popular rappers of the 2010s...? Tf?

@@leaffinite2001they haven’t they don’t even know how to look for new music so they put themselves in echo chambers and say rap is dead when they don’t put in any effort to support rap of today or to keep the ones they cherish relevant. They couldn’t wrap their minds a triplet flow that was created in the 90s or auto tune which was created in the 90s and called it mumble rap then wonder why their generation doesn’t get respect when they should know first hand how to fight for hip hop because they were calling it a fad when it first came out those 80s and 90s rappers proved to the world we could make money (and that’s why the old heads are still touring because they didn’t see that kind of money back then) and we became the most popular genre in the world headed by people who started in the 90s like Jay Z and lil Wayne the argument is old and tired just like their generation is

90s was a dance with the devil immortal technique reference with the reveal at the end
