blow me, ken. you listen to the worst rap music i've ever heard.

the 90's ruled. Binary Star, Dr Octagon, Goodie Mob, Scarface, the Ghetto Boys, fuggin Def Squad and Keith Murray and Eric Serman's solo shit, Warren G.

i love all that shit.

but i'm old, i suppose. i really hate most of the shit i hear these days. hate it.
 
it was funny when we were talking about how your uncle loved goodie mob.

you know what? i don't want to be your friend anymore.

you make me feel old.

I'm enjoying this thread. Sorry to interrupt but I really like reading these responses; it takes me down nostalgia road. Sorry, kind of emotional time for me since a lot of that music shaped my life and just made it more enjoyable during the times.
 
Wu-Tang clan ain't nothing to fuck with. Jeru the Damaja Smashes everyone on the intelectual circuit. Big Poppa smashes anyone on the mellow gang circuit. and Ice cube Will swarm on any mother fucker in a hardcore uniform.


I like dmx too

and you know what? i think the OP should have said -- do you have any new york rap because once the south came up and made rap into a chorus heavy thing i started to hate it. because that's really what you're saying by saying "90s flow" 8(

He's kinda right though. The South killed the golden era with that shit. I still got mad love for the dirty tho.

Someone start an 80s hip-hop thread?

well... if you're saying OutKast killed the golden era, i'm super happy about that. i'm into rap being populist, danceable, something kids rhyme along to, strippers to work to. strippers can't work to Wu Tang Clan. the snobbery of Right and Left Coast rap bothers me, and maybe snobbish isn't the word, but the things boys in Meridian, Mississippi are rapping about are things i care about, not things that are happening in the bay area. there are plenty of 'backpack' rappers to keep carrying the torch for that kind of stuff, Aesop Rock and Saul Williams and Sage Francis and Non Prophets all the Rhymesayers crew. I think in another rap thread captainballs said something about 'I don't care how many triple sow cow double rainbow flips Immortal Technique can do.' kind of sums up my feelings imho.

ALTHOUGH i love that there is so much god damn rap music that we can talk about what kinds of rap music we like within the subgenre of subgenres. i like southern rap, and then my favourite southern rap music is trap or bounce.

trying to keep it on topic... i will always love this song by Non Prophets : Xaul Zan's Heart -- i m not hard on women, i put my hardon on women!

Fuck Roxanne Shante and her annoying high pitched ass voice ;P Queen Latifa Sings as well and is sexy as fuck.
In other news though this might fit better in the 80's. Guess who's hosting Afrika Bambaattaa at the end of February?

As soon as I posted that I knew I should have added a disclaimer for them and some others, e.g. 8ball/MJG, UGK, Triple Six. I was referring more to the chorus-heavy 'club-banger' groups.

The signal-to-noise ratio in hip-hop has declined steadily over the past decade so it's getting harder to find quality rap and its almost non-existent in the mainstream media. So sure, good for Dem Franchize Boyz and the strippers that dance to them but I'd just like to see a group like Tribe Called Quest or Ultramagnetic MC's make the charts again. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic though. These kids nowadays with their hippity-hoppity rap music.

Anybody mention that one good Jurrasic 5 record? That was great.

I'm listening to the new T.I. mixtape that dropped last night. Its fine, better than half the shit in this thread, anyway. And anybody worth their shit knows that that chorus heavy franchise boys shit is over now, and the Souf has moved on to doom-and-gloom Hard in the paint style trap hop. DUH.
