Hip-Hop Thread [ARCHIVED] Genre • Page 530

I doubt I'd like it

 

I listen to a lot of different music, just don't think jazz is for me

Part of why I haven't listened many older albums is because its more modern genres that I'm interested in

 

A lot of classics meant a lot to me even if I got there late, including 80s rap. To be fair, not only was that long before streaming when music wasn’t as available, but I also had friends who started digging at the same time, so we had those shared moments.

 

Also Logic and Eminem, whatever else they may be, are hip hop artists whereas Lil Dicky is a racist parody act, so yeah, good call.

 

Coltrane is sick

 

Someone at my work loves Lil Dicky and yes he is insufferable

 

I see that and raise you...

 

Coltrane is sick but Ornette Coleman is goat.

 

Also the Logic and Eminem song is Mountain Dew rap. Terrible.

 

There was a time I only listened to classic soul and it the best time lol

 

Actually kinda like this

 

Also I've listened to Bruce Springsteen's early albums so my post isn't 100% accurate, there's probably more I'm forgetting, but there isn't a lot pre-1990 that I've listened to

 

These last few pages have been a wild ride

I think if you grow up listening to a bunch of modern music, going back to the source - in so far to what’s “influential” - might not seem as groundbreaking because you’re already desensitized to particular “innovations” or whatever. But conversely, good music is able to stand on its own.

 

I grew up with parents that only really listen to Rockabilly, a genre that I have no interest in, so blame them lol

 

They also really HATE hip hop

 

Well, that's a big piece of the puzzle haha

 

Yeah my dad loved soul so that was an easy in

 

My sister is named after Buddy Holly. So glad I wasn't born first.

 

I can't think of an 80s rapper/group other than NWA

Give me the best 80s rap album to listen to

 

Beastie Boys, Run DMC, Public Enemy, Tribe Called Quest haha

It Takes A Nation Of Millions is probably the best

 

I don't think this is for me lol

 

No worries, I'm just always surprised when people only listen to recent stuff because I was never like that but like what you like

 

Try Geto Boys. LL’s first album is great too.

 

Watch Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix too.
