Vince Staples Critiques 1990s Rap; Noreaga & Tyler The Creator Respond

    Vince Staples took to Twitter today (October 28) to express his frustration over headlines that said he thought 1990s Rap was overrated.

    “I was born in 1993 in Long Beach, California and I don’t remember any of it because I was a baby,” Staples says in a TIME video entitled “Rapper Vince Staples Explains Why The 90s Are Overrated,” “but I’m pretty sure it was nice. …90s get a lot of credit. I don’t really know why. Biggie and Tupac, those are the staples of the 90s. That’s why they get the golden era credit. There’s not a 50 Cent in the 90s. They don’t even have a Kanye. Jay Z’s biggest song, his only number one happened a couple years ago.”

    The “Señorita” rapper responded to people criticizing him for being what they deemed disrespectful to the decade.

    “Niggas telling me I wouldn’t exist without 90s hip hop as if I don’t have a mother or father,” he says. “Speaking of such my mother apologized for having me too late to experience Keith Murray and shes sorry for letting you all down. In 1999 I was 7 years old and toy story 2 had just dropped you niggas really think I was worried about hip hop?”

    Noreaga was one of those who called out Staples for his comments.

    “Just don’t call something overrated if u ain’t live in it to appreciate its value in the 1st place that’s all!!!” he writes on Twitter.

    @noreaga I said I aint listen to it cause I didn’t I aint never talk down you tryna say slick shit thats corny,” Staples responds.

    Tyler, The Creator joined in on the conversation to agree that Staples , who are in their early 20s, are too young to have developed an attachment to 1990s Rap.

    “I BE THINKING THE SAME SHIT,” the Odd Future rapper says. “LIKE THOSE 90S RAP ALBUMS DO NOTHING FOR ME.”

      1. Yeah fuck this guy for having an opinion that happens to be different than yours. What kind of asshole would dare not agree with you on something as minor as music preference? We should all just relax and share a KFC box meal. It’s finger lickin’ good.

      2. Yea this dude a clown is one thing to say you not a fan of it but if you never heard it then what the fuck are you talking about. To me the new generation wants they respect but to disrespect the golden era is just clown shit bro. All eyes on me, Wu tang, Big L, Rap a lot, Suave House,. Yea all those 808 and base beats came from that golden era IE 36mafia. Get you shit together Bitch Staples.

      3. @col. sanders.. how they fuck can you not like 90s hip hop? especially as a hip hop artist.. i understand everyone has an opinion but holy shit lol damn near every type of subgenre and theme used to day spawned from how diverse and forward moving 90s hip hop was.

    1. dats what I was talking. fuck da 90s!!!… Lil Wayne, Ricky Ross and Drake wud destroy dem old ass niggas on da mic. swag

      1. LOL you trolling hard. Drake a fraud, Rick Ross a fraud and Lil Wayne a fraud…..he a 90s nigga too. Dumb ass

    2. *dats what I was talkin bout. fuck da 90s!!!… Lil Wayne, Ricky Ross and Drake wud destroy dem old ass niggas on da mic. swag

    3. get rich or die tryin >>>> doggystyle / if your reading this its too late >>>> enter tha wu tang 36 chambers / THA CARTER 3 & 4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jay Z’s ENTIER DISCOGRAPY. fuck da 90s. its all bout da young niggas. swag

    4. Tha Carter 3 is DA BEST SELLING HIP HOP ALBUM OF ALL TIME and the BEST ALBUM EVER CREATED. fuck dem old niggas. swag

    5. the dude is very immature. just a disagreement, fool was saying he’s from 2n crip. what an idiot. fools always want to show how tough they are are the slightest opportunity. even when it’s not needed.

    6. Not gonna bash him for his opinion because I’m sure he has a good amount of respect for the 90s. He’s collaborated with Common, Ghostface and a few others after all.

    7. i just lost respect for this idiot never would i listen to his music this is why hip hop is trash right now because of cocky self centered lil bastards like this.

      1. It’s definitely one of the best. Drake has dropped two classics in one calender year and a third is on the way. #viewsfromthe6ix

      2. this has been one of the better years but not the best ever lol. You sound like a clown @you aint hip hop. Drake hasn’t not dropped classic….mad overrated

    8. And as far as Tyler goes, I’m sure there’s some 90s rap albums he likes. He’s just being his occasional trolling self.

    9. yep that was a older man mature enough to say his differences and not let the shit escalate like it could’ve if it were two youngsters. way to go nore. Hell I don’t get a lot of the 2000 bullshit.

    10. Fuck vince ,tylor and nore.1 vince is straight pussy. 2 tyler is a fucktard. 3 nore is a buster. Rather bump ab-$oul vic spencer and a whole lotta real dope niggas not these weird ass putas!!!! By the way vince is mom a rapper huh mofo and yo daddy??? So don tel us bout ur folks wen u clearly talked about hip hip. Try nd b a beta rapper den b a bitcy yapper! Peace!

    11. I think this is a valid topic. Like sure you can see it and respect the 90s as art, but if you didn’t live it there wont be a connection. I think people who say hiphop is dead aren’t looking in the right areas, and are just referring to hiphop not being in the mainstream. The way to progress and move forward in a art is not to make the same sh*t over and over. So it is important to appreciate what has come before but not replicate it. The 90s will always be the favourite child out of the hiphop eras as it was the big gold rush, but new sh*t still bangs and we should be pushing progression.

      1. This is exactly the point. It’s like people don’t remember their parents talking about how rap isn’t music in the 90s. Guess what, your kids are going to say the same thing, and I guarantee you they won’t fuck with any 90s rap.

      2. SMH…. Who tf are you??? Like seriously who are you because everytime you type some shit you always try to sound like what you say is law. You cant guarantee shit nigga.

    12. Kids will being the same shit about Vince and Tyler when they’re past their prime! Everything comes full circle. Only a matter of time.

    13. Half the time them “old” ass niggas are the ones co signing your young asses so show a little respect before you start chirping. Yes it was Vince’s opinion but if he didnt know much about the 90s then why even speak on it? Its a common rule, dont speak on some shit you dont know. In addition, what he said actually could be taken as disrespectful. All the 90s had was tupac and biggie? Ok so what about WU? Bone thugs? You can literally go on and on with artist from the 90s who made an impact. Even the way he responds to Noreaga is ignorant. Who the fuck was talking about his city? The funny thing is i actually like vince staples but after reading this and the way he responded makes me not want to buy another one of his albums. Lol these young cats be two faced. They show respect in one interview then disrespect in the next.

      1. And thats why they always tell you think before you speak especially if youre going to disregard an entire era like that. Furthermore, think before you start calling OGs in hip hop Old ass niggas because all that does is make him look like punk.

    14. If now is so great or on the level of the 90s then why does nobody buy the albums and why do hip hop publications have a hard time deeming almost anything besides Kendrick a classic?

      1. In some regards to sales yes but the Internet been around 20 years itself. Still does not explain the hip hop publications

    15. Vince Staples is the most overrated rapper.. his last album got great reviews but I only liked two songs off of it.. Norf Norf and one other. Dude is mediocre as fuck. I prefer Slim Jesus over Vince Staples forreal.

    16. Raise your hand if you actually watched the Vince video. If you didn’t you don’t really know if you agree with him or not.

      As usual no nuance allowed. It’s REACTions all the way down.

    17. Not to mention there wouldn’t be a 50 cent without onyx they were one of the first to give him a shot he was in one of there videos in the hockey gear.

    18. Hip-hop music was in it’s prime in the mid 90’s, just like the NBA. Been downhill ever since. Now you got clowns like Young Thug, Drake and Nicki Manaj. It’s laughable. Hip-hop music/culture (whatever is left of it) is embarrassing now and seems to be run by the gay mafia. I’m just glad I ain’t growing up in this era, because hip-hop ain’t so cool anymore like it once was.

    19. I respect his opinion but I wonder how it felt to get so much love and help from 90’s rapper Common (see Kingdom and all the shows he opened up for Common) And I wonder how it felt to get so much love and help from 90’s producer No ID (see production credits on his albums)? It’s nothing wrong with looking back to move forward…Study your craft!

      point im trying to make is these young niggas who criticize the 90s are idiots. this nigga said no kanye? or 50 cent or um…jay killed the 90s
      no kanye—pete rock? jdilla? early pharell? timbaland!!?? fuckin gangstarr premo?
      no 50? 2pac, DMX,

      man come on bro…..

      why yall still fuckin wit this nigga who blatantly disrespect his culture

    21. people just have nostalgia for the era they grew up in that’s the way life works … it’s obvious that someone born in 93 isn’t going to have the same attachment to 90’s hiphop as someone born in 83. it’s not a bad thing and nore had no reason to chime in tbh

    22. I was born in 89 in Newark NJ I know more about 90s rap than I do of today and I listen to fucking music from the fifties that’s just me but I been knew poeple where like that they seem dumb because they don’t get how they sound unworthy of th work profession u think kobe dosent know who x Y z are in basketball hell no

    23. Man Fuck Vince Staples, dude is wack. Only reason we know who he is, because Earl put him on a couple tracks. 15 minutes about up son…

    24. Stupid ass young nigga. I was born in the 90’s too. But I know who the Four Tops are, Motown and Public Enemy is fool. Homey just do ya homework in this music shit or you’ll start thinking you some originator of the music. That’s your OG’s fault fo not teaching you about the history. You standing on the shoulders of giants. RESPECT the game and stop trying start shit with the OG’s in the game who say something to you. They got checked when they came in the game too. From what I hear about those times. A lot of these soft as rappers wanna b MC’s wouldn’t made pass 1990. Tyler need shut up. If you felt like that. Dude could’ve been said something. Not feed into what other dudes going through on some negative shit

    25. ya’ll so negative tell me wat they were driving in 90s compared to now everything is dope now than then he’s got a point

      1. Really? Music now is better than the 90s? LOL you’re more confused than Raven Symone. There’s no way in hell that autotuned, mumbling pop shit from Migos, Young Thug, and Future are better than Wu-Tang, Tribe, Outkast, etc.

      2. Niggas’ albums going platinum: Now that’s some 90’s shit because niggas these days are only good for a song that sounds like the last nigga’s song.

    26. I was just about to get into his music and I’m a old head. That shit out the window. Don’t disrespect the 90s. This generation doesn’t respect the music like my generation. We use to jam Isley Brothers, Al Green, and Marvin Gaye in high school. That wasn’t our era that was the 70s. Go back and research those albums. A lot of the lyrics back then shits on most of the lyrics now. Fucc this dude! Clown you better be glad the 90s era getting older shit like that could get you touched back in the day. Wreckless ass mouth.

    27. This type of conversation between the OG’s of Hip Hop & the new babies is a prime example of how the 90’s people have a far better head on their shoulders when it comes to having a conversation and stating an opinion. The wack artist that are coming out don’t even know shit about pay homage or dues in the game. It’s pathetic. I see mr. vince was getting overly sensitive and Coremega was just trying to state an opinion that had wait to it. Vince is fine to have his point about not knowing about 90’s and it’s importance but he should have probably stated his opinion in a matter that didn’t come across as talking down the 90’s era. Plus if he knew shit about 90’s he would know it was more than just Pac & Biggie, fucking lame VS. Tyler is just odd, nobody takes him seriously. #Won’tBeRemembered #WackRapBabies #DumbDownRappers

    28. This new era of rappers are all a bunch of super sensitive bitch ass niggas. I know a lot of the lil homies ain’t like that, but it’s a shame that you got some punk ass rappers representing ya’ll. Can you imagine this fuckin kid in Queensbridge saying that shit? Social media has made it way too easy to not have to be physically accountable for your words.

      1. Vince was very emotional. Its called passion for the artform of hip hop. I wish more people had that same passion for the game. that’s the problem now people value the money now

      2. I agree but his point was saying he dont remember it like that. It’s his opinion. Yeah he said some things that he shouldn’t but people acting like he committed a sin. I was born in 89 and dont remember 90s hip hop until late 90s. How can you relate to that when you are a child between the age 1-6 at that time? Thats the point he saying.

    29. I want to hop on twitter, But I don’t even have one of those. Anyway if you or any of your people from Long Beach are reading this. This is what I say to you, Fuck You! and Fuck anybody that agree with this lame.

    30. My brother was born in 99 Vince and understand the importance of paying homage. Some of these lil youngsters outta control smh. Learn the game or get you whack ass up out it fool.

      1. Are you seriously asking why someone respects an era they weren’t born in? Slap yourself for that stupid ass question. You’re supposed to respect those who came before you.

      1. Mr. Mike! That CD was the shit. I’ll have to dig it out and take it for a spin along with the South Circle CD from the year before. You forgot the best album from ’96, though… “Bow Down” by Westside Connection.

    32. And that’s why staples is only gonna be a one hit wonder that’s all…I never even heard of that dude until now lmao….what’s sad is that u from long beach I hope u know that Snoop is King oh and by the way snoop is still relevant and he dropped doggy style in the early 90s again he’s from long beach respect that Era know ur history my dude

      1. The crazy thing if it wasn’t for that 90s era. The west coast woundnt be respected. Nobody would car long beach. No chronic, Doggystyle, All eyes on me, Dog food, or Chronic 2001-1999. Dude is a fool….smh.

    33. He’s right though. People who listen to and talk strictly about 90s hip-hop are boring and corny. Those niggas are just as bad as post-Carter 3 Lil Wayne fans

    34. Joey badass, ab-soul, kendrick vince spencer, mick jenkins, chance the rapper, fashawn, all have respect and knowledge about da 90s….man shit I’m still going back to da krs-one/kool moe dee days bcos da is not enough time to disect and digest lyrics!!!!! So I got one question can vince kill canibus sticky fingers or lauren hill on wax!!!! FOH hell nah he can’t!

      1. You’re fucking stupid. Ain’t nowhere he said he doesn’t respect the 90’s. He just thinks they get too much credit. It’s like all of you can’t read. Lauryn* hill is one of his favorite 90’s artist.

    35. Vince is probably one of the realest kids out there making music. Did Nas co-sign him? Did Biggie make his career? Why the fuck he gotta show “the game” respect? This dude has been a Crip his whole fucking life, has been banging harder than half you kids on the internet who have the nerve to call him out for not liking 90’s rap? Are you for real? He’s self-made, and half you kids are stuck listening to music that is 20 years old. Grow up, this isn’t 95 anymore. No one thanks the beatles anymore for rock music, why are we still thanking those clowns from the 90s? Crab mentality.

      1. Get the fuck up outta here with your bullshit comment.

        1) most of the people defending 90s rap are largely adults so where do you get this kid shit from?
        2) people do still credit the beatles you dumb shit. There are a lot of artist who give credit to others well before their time. Speak for yourself.
        3)what does gang banging got to do with his comment?

        Youre just a disrespectful little shit who was never taught a thing or two about paying homage or studying history.

      2. He gotta show game respect because shit happened before this fool was born. He ain’t got to buy niggas cars and shit but speak on the past humbly. What’s wrong with that? How hard is that? Stop with all the crip and gang credit shit to be known in hip hop. Real OG’s know it ain’t cool and shouldn’t even be glorified. At this point it’s killing the culture. Besides these days dudes lyrics can be held and used against them in a case. So let’s keep talking about all the real shit and give the DA more evidence. CRAB mentality? Are you serious? You mad because people telling a youngin to respect the game and people who came before him? Seriously?! He might be self made in the streets but he not self made in the game. If it wasn’t for old school artist from east and west coast getting the music industry into hip hop nobody would even want to listen to him. Everybody aint like rap in early days. Calling the ol school artist clowns is just disrespectful.

      3. exactly what I was thinkin cuz, i cant stand niggas actin like biggie and pac paved the way for em when biggie and pac don’t sound nothin like the hip hop people makin these day and most these new artists grew up on hova and nas not biggie pac or eazy.

      4. Dumbasses, Biggie and Pac DID pave the way for people like him. You think Lupe Fiasco, Vince Staples, Tyler, Kanye or anybody out now would be here if it weren’t for the people 10 or 20 years ago? No one would know about the people today if it weren’t for the people who came before. Vince makes good music and that’s as far as he should go. His opinions don’t mean shit now cause he’s a rookie. Nas or KRS-One says something, listen. You might learn something. Stupid kids.

      5. You don’t have to like but disrespect. A lot of 90s rappers still got pull. Don’t get black balled. That’s y hip hop is fucked now because we disrespect the legends. Rock n roll respect their legends. So what are you talking about. Sound like he jealous of the Golden Era plus I doubt if he banged harder than the ogs from the 90s

      6. You’re truly a buffoon if you think people still don’t pay homage to the Beatles. SMH talking about banging and being a crip like that sh!t has any relevance to this conversation. FOH!!!

    36. I wasn’t born when Marvin Gaye Aretha Franklin Gladys Knight etc…came out but their music touched me when I was still young. These new weirdos don’t respect nothing but expect everything. Smh. That’s why I don’t mess with they music. I’m not a Drake fan but artists like him Wiz Big Krit respect the music before them period. Vince Staples gets no play in my ride. I never heard none of his music and I’ll keep it that way

      1. vince staples is the epitome of the standard jiggaboo ninjas walking around right now. the lack of respect for history, elders their community, or anything socially relevant.

    37. Its super funny how alot of people are pressed about opinions. This is the reason our culture aint shit lmao

      1. Well if he got an opinion why can’t everybody else have one and the real reason the culture is lacking because of lack of respect. He not bigger than hip hop son weirdo!!

      2. Yeah but what he said that was disrespectful?? His choice of words were not the best but he did not come out his mouth. You right everyone has one but to say he don’t have respect for it that’s different because people take stuff out of context.

    38. I was born in 93 but I still remember Fugees, Miseducation of Lauryn hill, Outkaast , Goodie Mob, UGK, Tupac. . . So much better than what I turn on the radio and listen to today. I feel like the reason is because the music was 100% authentic we actually played outside in the 90’s none of this social media shit

    39. Career suicide!!! Vince your career was as short as a leprechaun’s balls. Save that advance bro. You just lost your career. You sound ignorant. You were never good anyway..Just a bunch of hype..

    40. Vince Staples….TylertheCreator…..!
      Thank God I’m a 90s old Nigga….I like a lot of the New Cats …..But as far as the new cats go ……These to Muthafuckas ain’t Shit!
      Let’s Keep It a Flat Stack!
      OG

    41. I dont feel Vince or tyler disrespected the 90s they are the products of it. The reason i like Vince an tyler is because they remind me of that very era with authentic raw creative storytelling.. Be the change

      1. @Ze Thanks for your contribution to the discussion. Though this has been one of the better years for hiphop. Check out the Underachievers. Pro era. Cy hi…. Much love to you an yours

    42. this KID just honestly tried boiling 90s rap down to tupac and biggie. he sounds like he knows about as much about the era as suburban soccer mom

    43. Luke fought for rappers freedom of speech…Master P broke the mold on traditional record deals…Run DMC broke color barriers with Rock This Way…NWA shed light on police brutality etc etc etc…Its disrespectful when these people took all the blowback from white america so you can release your music today. So yeah they should get the majority of credit. Kinda like Malcom Martin and Ali

    44. Cmon you can’t take these guys serious they don’t know shit about hip hop music if they say this.dre 90s wu 90s tribe 90s snoop 90s nas 90s busta 90s em 90s jay 90s outkast 90s biggie 90s bootcamp 90s pac 90s shit i can go on and on this is ridiculous to say.

    45. I’ve never seen 108 comments I know somebody got shot after all this chaos. People be so reckless on dx. but really he must of said the right thing for all this attention

    46. NORE made himself look soft old niggas need to adapt. pac and big dead and nas can’t rap like he use to. drake is decent even tho he’s fake k dot and cole the realest young as in under 30 in the game. Jay and kanye are moguls so the state of hip hop is slowly becoming stable the only kink is drake but he’ll be done in couple years so only time will tell.

      1. Nore ain’t say shit wrong. The 90’s was the golden era. He commented on dog statement. That’s like some young nigga born in 93 saying MJ ain’t the goat. You can’t speak on shit you don’t have any knowledge of. That’s what’s wrong with these young nigga’s now a day. Everything that comes out your mouth should be wisdom. Not random bull shit. Peace!

    47. I think the 1770s are hella overrated.
      I ain’t got to do nothing with Mozart and Haydn. Who the fuck are they anyway?

    48. During the 1990s rap and hiphop music really blossomed, there was a lot of creativity.
      A lot of groups were able to make the music they wanted, wu-tang, a tribe called quest, smif-n-wessun.
      Rappers were really skilled, now with that trap/turn up sh!t it has become bullsh!t!!!!!!

    49. thats wack, straight up. i wasn’t able to appreciate most of it at the time either, but you cannot beat 93-96 rap. And then you’d have to consider 86-89 as next up. 2000s were dope, but not as profound or real. 50 cents run was legendary, but nothing 50 cent came out w/ is as good, as the top 10 albums from 93-96.

    50. i was born in 94 and nothing beats 90s hip hop for me

      shit I recently just spent $70 on an original Road to the Riches album hahaha

      if I didn’t like an era of music i would say “I don’t really like the music from that era but I appreciate and respect it” – fuck straight up disregarding 10 years of music that led to and gave birth to the music you like now

      respect to that era of hiphop and respect to those MCs,

    51. ppl may disregard the 90s due the quality of sound…technology was different back then..not to say 90s albums didnt sound great..just not as high quality of todays music with all this new recording and mixing equipment

      1. Are you serious? When you dont know about studio technology then SHUT UP. To this day analog studios are the.best in the world and.beats.digital any day!

    52. The rap that Tyler the creator and Vincent stables produce is bullshit period. The Hip Hop that I hear nowadays is bad. Lyrically they ain’t sayin nothing and beat wise oh my god ! And that goes for Kanye West ! Dig in the crates to the late 80’s and 90’s and you’ll see the difference. I ain’t hating just sayin !

    53. 100 people agree Vince Staples sucks? Thatd what you get when you name yourself after a office supply store lol fuckin clown ass motherfucker

      1. U Stupid. Negro Nice. But He’s A Young Banger From The Streets. Nigga Don’t Have Respect For Authority, Y N Da Fuc Wud He Care About The 90s.

    54. First of all who is this guy? Im barely 30 and this vince gay is talking mad ish about 90s and noreaga. Vince and tyler are super gay homos and they wouldve NECER made it in the 90s

    55. seriously NORE ain’t got no any skill to front and defend 90s. almost every single NORE song after CNN were bullshit.

    56. Maybe Vince Staples wouldnt suck so bad if he grew up on that real hip hop. Nore right this muthafucka grew up idolizing Lil Bow Wow it shows in his music lol

    57. Vince may be young but this lil nigga got the cro-magnon brow of an old man. Ya ol’ stunted growth ass, twerpy voice havin ass… Yeah I listened to his shit… and I can tell you right now that shit Kieth Murray spit in that recent cypher better than anything this foo will ever muster in his life. Fuckin twink.

    58. Vstaples is good BUT you can tell he dumb as hell. Catching hella feelings for no reason. You run fades? Sure homey.

      1. More like nore made him look even more childish. Vince gay gor in his feeli n4g s. You young imbeciles talk all that ish and thenget ur ass beat, happens every time!

      2. They’ll cross paths soon enough. IRAQ’ll make you famous, throw up gang signs like it’s sign language……. #CNN #WarReport #PayHomage #DoYaHomework

      3. I can definitely tell you’re young. NORE is a certified street nigga that has had a successful music career. He’d look stupid as hell goin gangsta on a kid. Vince probably thinks he scared him too, ya’ll young niggaz have no respect at all. Ya’ll the children of 90s club bitches.

    59. A real hiphop head knows about the 90’s and how superior that era was compared to this day regardless of age. If Staples truly loved rap he would know about this. I wasnt born when Illmatic dropped but I still know thats probably the greatest record ever made, because I took my time to listen to it. Thats passion and Staples clearly lacks that entirely.

      1. This new generation can barely spell or speqk english correctly. They think Kanye and Yubg Thug are genius and tgat nicki can sing and iggy can rap. We live in tge end of times

    60. A LOT OF Y’ALL NEW JACK CATS GOT THE GAME FUCKED UP AND DON’T NOBODY REALLY GIVE A FUCK WHERE NONE OF Y’ALL COME FROM OR CAME FROM IF YOU TRY TO MATCH RAPPER FOR RAPPER Y’ALL 2010 NIGGAS CAN’T FUCK WITH THEM NIGGAS FROM THE 90’S Y’ALL COULD’NT FUCK WITH BIG DADDY KANE, KOOL G RAP , LORD FINESS, ,BIZ MARKIE, REDMAN, NAUGHTY BY NATURE, LEADERS OF THE NEW SCHOOL, NWA , MACK 10 , ICE-CUBE, ICE-T ,THAT NIGGA TUPAC, AND DIGITAL UNDERGROUND, Cypress Hill, BIG PUN ,BOUNCE SQUAD YOU NEED TO HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR HIP HOP BEFORE YOU START TALKING ALL STUPID FOR REAL I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHY ALL YALL NEW JOCKERS EVEN TRYING TOO RAP BECAUSE A LOT OF Y’ALL SOUNDS MAD ASS WACK IT SHOW YOU BACK THEN THEY RAPPED ABOUT ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT STUFF AND NOW ALL THEY TALK ABOUT IS SMOKING DOO DOO ASS WEED AND BEING A GOT DAM FREAK

    61. Unfortunately hiphop is the only genre of music that has no issue with disrespecting the ones who came before them and paved the way, and it shows in the decrease of quality hiphop music. I don’t think you have to blindly kiss ass of your predecessors, but you should respect the forefathers of your craft, and that goes for any artform. And what’s with the inability to comprehend what’s being said…this dude says people say he wouldn’t be here and he references having parents as if people are talking about his existence as a human being…what a retard.

    62. IN THE 90S HIP HOP/RAP GAVE NIGGAS THE MEANS TO SURVIVE AND STAY ALIVE!! THE HUNGER WAS REALER THAN ANYTHING YOU COULD EVER HAVE IN TODAYS DAY! NIGGAS TODAY HAVE OUTLETS THAT CATS NEVER DREAMED OF IN THE 90S. 90S NIGGAS CUT FROM A DIFFERENT CLOTH! A REAL ONE!

    63. just when i was starting to like this nicca vince staples, he goes and says some dumb shit, such ignorance..how old is joey bada$$? and he understands what that era means..if you dont understand, just stfu, just dont let the whole world witness your ignorance in all its glory..

    64. i hope a 90’s rapper puts a beat down on his young ass, while forcing him to listen to all the classics from the 90’s …these young cats need to learn before they open their disrespectful mouths..

    65. “And I run fades”. Give them eyebrows a fade nigga. You ain’t no G. You just surrounded by so many bitch ass niggas that you feel like a shark, but really you’re just a minnow lil nigga, and we lettin you eat. M.U. is bi-coastal and active out in Cali boy, don’t find out. Private school ass nigga. Do that lil nigga like OG Two-Tone did that kid on the bus.

    66. Keeping it honest… Hip-hop music was in it’s prime in the mid 90’s, just like the NBA. Been downhill ever since. Now you got clowns like Yung Thug, Drake, Kanye, Nicki Minaj etc.. It’s laughable. Hip-hop music/culture (whatever is left of it) is embarrassing now and seems to be run by the gay mafia. I’m just glad I ain’t growing up in this era, because hip-hop ain’t so cool anymore like it once was.

    67. to me his statement is blah when i was 7 years old i remember my first hip hop song i listen to my uncle got me listening to Kool Moe Dee Wild Wild West and i remember his other song Suckers me and my cousin was in the basement listening and jamming to it so i don’t use that as an excuse. A real hip hop head would do their history and listen to hip hop albums that paved the way for other eras thats what people that love hip hop do. He Mention the Jay-Z didn’t have a big song til 2000’s i guess he forgot Jay-Z won a grammy in the 90’s. Kanye was actually out in the 90’s making beats for a dude name Grav and as far as 50 he’ll tell you his favorite artist used to sing check out My Melody.

    68. Man i actually didnt mind this guy.. but now he goes to say some dumb shit, make him look like an ignorant dumbass.. do you see athletes saying shit about the guys who played before them? nope. they all respect their elders, same should apply here.
      and he’s getting heat well deserved because he did say..
      “90s get a lot of credit. I don’t really know why. Biggie and Tupac, those are the staples of the 90s. That’s why they get the golden era credit. There’s not a 50 Cent in the 90s. They don’t even have a Kanye. Jay Z’s biggest song, his only number one happened a couple years ago.”

      i guess Jay, Nas, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep, DMX, etc and so on dont count? he dont know why its the golden era and hes a rapper? are you kidding me!?

      Tyler the Creator…. wont even waste my time

    69. Fuck this wack ass niggah*I bumped dude but now he can eat a dick*I was born in 83*came up on pac/wu/Keith Murray*but if your a real lover of hip hop you’ll go back & listen to the artists that came before*I did it with gangstarr/epmd/tribe/big daddy/rakim/masta ace*thts the issue with these young punks*eating off the culture with no respect to the cats tht paved the way*because it’s easy for them with the internet*fuck these culture vultures*long live the 80s & 90s*

    70. Now this dude all of a sudden claiming Crip!? Fuck outta here. First off he’s nothing special on the mic. Secondly you’re not even from a credible Crip gang in Long Beach (Insane Crips or Rollin 20’s Crip). Third stop trying to bang on the Internet…There’s plenty of other Crip gangs in LA and not to mention the Bloods and Pirus.

      1. It’s not all of a sudden. He’s mentioned his affiliation in songs it’s just not as often or blatant as someone like Snoop or Game.

    71. he has a right to his opinion but he just talked outta term. the 90ies were the creative peak in hip hop but u can’t expect a nigga to know since nobody schooled him. he just made an ignorant statement saying that a whole decade is overrated but in the next sentence he says he’s too young to know about it. how can you rate something you know nothing about? I’m a 80ies baby so i came up in the 90ies, and i never stopped listening to hip hop. to this day i always check out the new shit while most my homies don’t care nothing about it. it’s funny because i was just beginning to check out his music, and they wanna bill him as one of the ”smart” ones from this generation. maybe that’s what he’s rebelling against. it’s funny because him, tyler and some of these new guys got a strong 90ies vibe to their music. i’m sure that people like snoop lashed out the same way back then when they faced rejection fom the 80ies cats but it wasn’t no social media back then.

    72. He forgot about Dr. Dre, Wutang, Snoop, Tribe Called Quest, Outkast, Eminem, Bone Thugs and Harmony, Big Pun, Fugees, Cypress Hill, etc etc. Oh well, may he continue to go double plastic

    73. This dude is a bitch, you get checked and you claimin’ some corny ass gang shit, like Nore is worrying about that punk-gang shit. Get the fuck outta here. Fuck boy Tyler co-signing your punk ass. Go ahead, and make babies together.

    74. There was no 50 cent in the 90s…. wow. where would we be without candy shop and bisd? his opinion become invalid there. rap has never been worse. i wasnt into hip hop in the 90s either but there was so much more better material and the trash stuff wasnt anywhere near the trash of today either. its such a stupid argument anyway. people still play mozart. i have never heard a rapper who popped in the 90s discredit the 80s rappers. they all idolize them for paving the way and making great music.

    75. I respect him for being honest, golden era hip hop probably doesn’t resonate with people hugs age or younger. If u were raised by a single mom, u probably didn’t hear much hip hop growing up as most black women post 30 aren’t hip hop heads, they prefer R&B. Unless u had an older brother around u playing it, you probably just didn’t get exposed enough to learn to appreciate it. We also shouldn’t assume all rappers are hip hop heads. Some rap because they can and are good at it, they might not have a true passion for hip hop or music period. I’m sure there are many rappers with only a surface interest in hip hop who prefer to listen to other genres.

    76. Maaan, and you wonder why music nowadays is trash. only a fool would dismiss artists who came before. just a dumb kid looking for attention

      Lil Wayne n 50 first came out in the late 90s. the biggest rap artists of this generation

    77. LOL… You would never hear a rock artist or group disrespecting all those who came before them .
      In fact a lot of popular rock artists take pride in the fact that they are aware of those who paved the way for them . I though Vince was a little more intelligent than that but saying shit like “@fucktyler cause you not a old ass man” shows the ignorance of this mid 20s year old .
