When we were younger it was considered cool as hell to dig into old school hip hop. We would show off playing an older song our friends didn’t know. This generation I don’t get it. These dudes can’t look past yesterday.
me and my friends would listen to whatever we found laying around the house lol we were limited on CDs so we would get curious and listen to our parents old tapes. gen z has so much new music pushed on them and they don't have time to go back unless they really want to.
@@mikeillgaming4224 I’ve been meaning to listen to Public Enemy for some reason I just never got around to checking out any of their albums but i figure it’s about time now lol
@@nvm7191 yeah it's about that time lol .. we all loved slick Rick, especially the song runway.. I bought a 91 Pontiac Sunbird and the previous owner left "the rulers back" in the tape deck🙏🏾
Anybody on here, including your cohost if they don’t understand how you have to know the history and study what became before you to be great at your craft or just to be a part of the culture did something wrong and for them to convey that message to the youth is even more sad
This just shows the adolescent mindset of people it doesn’t matter if albums came out before the year you were born whenever you realized that you love music or especially if you’re going to be a artist then you go back and you listen to music what year you were born to listen to Miles Davis and Duke Ellington and all types of things that came out 20 and 30 years before we were born doesn’t make sense to say that you shouldn’t study the great that came before you
They should listen to the whole album and this guy who sang it doesn’t matter he’s definitely a clown when I see you older guys make statements like this. They just want to sound relevant to young people.
Hip Hop is so unique from other American genres. I think it could also stem from the lack of cover culture in Hip Hop too. With rock, Jazz, and country they have a cover culture that keeps old songs/albums. Any young person wanting to play in these genres they have to engage with their classics as almost a right of passage. Anyone can grab a microphone and starting spitting, which isn't a bad thing but it does make sense.
Great point. But there are lots of remixes/ covers of old songs in hip-hop too as well, but most of the time, people don't even know someone is redoing an old song.
Boat is a herb, but not because he just listened to Hov. Truth be told I don't know if I ever listened to a KRS or Kool G Rap album. Just now started checking out full Wu Tang projects (they're not as good as the hype). I dunno maynes, plus he got 16 more years of music to go through than I did at his age. That's a lot of 💩
From wutang, I would mainly check out their debut album “Enter the Wu-Tang” with the songs CREAM and method man. It’s ok for it to feel underwhelming. Some old school music needs context because every rapper brought a new sound to the current moment that might not be understood as innovative today but it was then. Wutang was the first to have mad heads with different voices all in one single group/album. People argued who the best was from the group. They also the first to bring all these funny karate flick ad libs. Early 90’s has some of the best hiphop imo. 2pac, nas, tribe called quest, naughty by nature so much more
@RapPhilosophy I was around then I just didn't mess with Wu like that. 36 Chambers is their debut not Enter the Wu. 36 Chambers was aight, I can see why some people like it. I was more so talkin about their solo works though.
@@OldBaldy504 not just our own. Ton of white casuals who are elitists, mainly guys who listen to Kanye, Kendrick, Tyler the creator, who do that disrespect.
@@MrASAPAB yea but if it was just white casuals I would be fine. It's people that say they are part of the culture that don't know shit that annoys me, Black, white or other.
@@OldBaldy504 I feel you bro. But a large portion of them are white casuals. Not all, but most. The type of dudes to say a garbage album like some rap songs is better than illmatic.
