Yo hiphopdx I see what you tryna do and I admit some of those comments were off the wall but sheesh, you guys are really tryna equate mumble rap with 90s hip hop. Now I get you trying to side with the younger generation which is financially the best decision but based off the richness of the culture, you guys definitely know we have lost our clarity, creativity has been limited and swagger jacking is not really considered wrong in the game no more. Now I want to also clearly state that this generation has its own upper hand compared to the 90s but right now talent is watered down and the attention span has shrunken to its bearest minimum.
Hip hop of the golden era had many lanes its just one lane today and its fill wit a lot of misfits with no talent being push by some wacks who think they know music
Can we move away from all the hate creating arguments and do a breakdown on why Hip Hop Fans are the best and why the crowds at Hip Hop gigs are the best? Peace
What I found interesting, is when the album comparisons were done, they pitted lyricists from today versus lyricists from the 90’s. You didn’t see any mumble rappers mixed up in that comparison. Also, when groups like tag team, and 69 boyz are brought up, I personally, speaking for me and me only, look at them as exceptions to the rule. Where today’s lyrically driven artists are the exception. There more yachty’s than there are Kendricks. My kids love mumble rap, I don’t. But, all in all I appreciate Murs trying to keep the discussion open. We can all agree to disagree.
We have a whole different culture now than we had in the 90’s Rap is Commercial and not Counter Culture anymore. Our kids are apathetic, materialistic and self absorbed per capita, again not saying that did not exist when we were young, just not in the same ratios but all is a reflection of American culture as a whole with all of its sub divisions. All the things we hate in Hip Hop as Old Heads were present in the 80’s and 90’s now it has just reached its full maturation and saturation points. All of these kids want to live a Reality TV version of a a biggie album for their lives so us as the parent generation that birthed all this have to give recognition to the fact we created this shit. We let a media take over and keep the reigns on what is hot in our culture, we let a government who has no regard for us as anything other than a revenue stream have control and raise our children and we gave up on unity as a culture playing Red versus Blue on everything from the streets, to politics, to religion and sports. Start there and Hip Hop is still a Ghetto CNN just now it is the same as the current CNN has evolved into reflecting the culture of America…
Let’s keep this real simple…
yachty’s is fake (cringe worth music)
Cole is real (music made with conviction)
There is no elitist, no preference & no debate. You either get it or you don’t, it’s really that simple.
This discussion is getting old!, i’m gonna listen to what i like (i like the Boom Bap, hard midwest, G-Funk, good south hiphop like Scarface etc..) and so should you! Peace!
The amount of quality emcees in the 90’s > the amount of quality emcees present day.
The amount of shitty emcees in the 90’s < the amount of shitty emcees present day.
That's what it boils down to. I think the reason is in order to get on in the golden era, you had to invest a lot more time / money for recording music. Now kids can do it at home and throw it on sound cloud. So we're supersaturated with subpar hip hop because the barrier to entry is so low.
Man, I’m tired of people judging what’s real hip hop. Half the time it be the haters who damn album flop.
Bieber sells more…is he real hip hop? GTFO
Murs you are fake. What happened to the other guy who used to do the breakdowns he was better.
Man, I’m tired of posters saying who’s fake and who’s not. Half the time it be the grown man still livin with pops.
Cornel you are a fucking cornball ass mother fucker.
I agree, Bring Back Justin Hunte,
This guy is the worst!!

so I guess I cannot use greater than or less than sign or any type of apostrophe in the comment section. Nice to know.
