      @jmaguire2232 Před 23 dny +140

      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.

      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

      @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

  • @davidnelson5381
    @davidnelson5381 Před 6 dny +1

    I see the following definitively. Pre-turn of the century: Styles flowed, and the storytelling was able to occur vividly because instruments were used and timing was necessary for all aspects involved to succeed.
    Post-turn of the century: Instrumentals are replaced by computers and buttons. Dynamics are erased in favor of repetitive time signatures and songs designed to fit a time window for maximizing profit. Fuelling this are industry metrics reflective of the singular 'best' musical composition for achieving devoted fan commitment without providing a variety amongst performers in order to minimize costs and increase profits without actually improving the content. To do so, content, therfore, must be rigid, brief, and incredibly easy to consume. It also must be flashy to grasp the short attention spans of modern fans. The result being a static package with embarrassingly, overly-extravagant, shiny wrapping.
    However, this past 18 months have yielded hope via a resurgence in legends of this game. Something along the lines of, "And motherf*ckers act like they forgot about Dre," perhaps. ✌️🎵

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
