New Rap Is Equally Good To Old Rap

Cardboardbox · 11-14-2012, 03:40 PM

I feel that, contemporary rap music is just as good and consistent as old rap
I would argue that nostalgia is holding back on the appreciation of modern hip hop.
Also that Mainstream is equally good as underground but that's another battle

I agree and disagree. Mainstream rap is different than it use to be...and yes nostalgia is holding me back. I like some of the newer rappers out there. Lupe isn't new, but in respect to the history of hip-hop he is a relative newcomer. He is somewhat of a throwback, but at the same time has his own spin on things. I like what Hopsin is doing, but we will have to see what his new album brings to to the table to see his true talent (when and if that will ever come out). MGK can be inconsistent, but his flow is always on point. In the end, there will always be new rap that is just as good as the oldies. The best performers are always few and far between and we will be blessed with a few gems every generation.

Hahahahaha! Stop trolling.

wait are you saying that new rap is lyrical. because old rap is lyrical

HeathSchneibolk · 11-19-2012, 09:16 PM

First I am not trolling...second old rap is just as lyrical and new rap is. I am just saying that I grew up with the older songs and have fond memories of them, which makes me inclined to like them more than the newer stuff. But as with every genre of music, there is always a ton of music constantly coming out, but only a small percentage of it is actually good.

You are talking about new rap which i confess liking more that old rap too, but you are using as references some of the dumbest rappers you could possibly use. Lupe is aight, but Hopsin? No, thanks. MGK?!!!!!?????? LMAO.

Mr MFN eXquire and Big KRIT are the emcees you might wanna check out.

The only contemporary rap I actually like listening are Cunninlynguists, Brotha Lynch Hung, Aesop Rock or Busdriver. Hopsin is good and no he's not that bad but... there's something missing. He makes good beats but I would like more visual or abstract lyrics from him. His lyrics and flows may be too pedestrian.

My first experience with Kendrick lamarr was that Asap Rocky song and he was waaaaaaaack

sockhead · 12-09-2012, 01:35 AM

Don't judge Kendrick off that a$ap track, i didn't like it either and im a fan of both asap and kendrick for the most part. i think the styles of production have changed the most since the 90s and now which is what makes me a bigger fan of modern rap. you can still find good lyricism if you look for it but its usually not present in most mainstream rap
