I bang classic Hip Hop like it's stylin' right now. <BR/><BR/>I can't get into what's the shit right now.<BR/><BR/>I tell you what though, both Nas and NYOil are putting Hip Hop on notice with work that is both conscious and entertaining. <BR/><BR/>Chuck D is working very closely with Nelly on his new project.<BR/><BR/>It will be very interesting to see how the flow goes from here on out.Mizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05814749205814356113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31413491.post-39335549677190906112008-07-20T20:14:00.000-04:002008-07-20T20:14:00.000-04:00devil's advocate here. i love old skool hip-hop, a...devil's advocate here. i love old skool hip-hop, and not a fan of today's version...but then, you know how they say music is steadily evolving and "growing" and it has always been the case that the originators of an artform are not impressed with the current state of it. When rock changed and hair bands dominated in the 80s, i'm sure the fans of 60s rock were sick to their stomachs. and so it continues. <BR/><BR/>I prefer Rakim, McLyte, Brand Nubian and the like...they're still hip hop to me. But we have to face it...we're the OLDER hip hop generation...and just like with almost every other genre of music, the torch has been passed. We might not like it, but we don't have to listen. We can force our kids to listen to old stuff...like our parents used to do...and they'll hate a lot of it and think it's uncool...like we used to do...and then, when they hit our age, they'll revive it all over again because they'll shake their heads at hiphop in 2030.Papier Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07960620022982227174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31413491.post-14335243998583139692008-07-20T16:31:00.000-04:002008-07-20T16:31:00.000-04:00Yep - real hip hop.Yep - real hip hop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31413491.post-59647574984085819452008-07-20T11:54:00.000-04:002008-07-20T11:54:00.000-04:00You just described perfectly the reason why 75-85%...You just described perfectly the reason why 75-85% of my listening is jazz now. When the quality of GOOD hip hop went downhill I bailed gradually.<BR/><BR/>Like you though, I can't give up on it completely. I loved it too much and keep waiting for the artists, record companies and the general listening public to get a clue. A "new" song is basically a stolen old beat. What happened to creative sampling? Unfortunately most of my listening is old material.<BR/><BR/><B>Rakim is king.</B>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
