old heads are we out of touch with current rap - page 7

Why TF y'all can't ever do your own work when it comes to music?

I always see these type of comments on here. When did music listeners get so damn lazy?

Hip-hop fans used to do the work when it came to having good music in rotation. Making homemade mixtapes, buying source magazines just for the unsigned hype spotlights and the album ratings so u can check their sh1t out

Now all I see is "post 10 links bro"

n1gga open your apps

most people think the music from when they were in their late teens to mid twenties is the best and music went downhill immediately afterwards ....

.... because those are generally the best, most fun, responsibility free years of a person's life

This…
i assume you’re old enough to have witnessed the golden era, digging and making tapes… the labor that went into all that built something.

The newer generations grew up with the internet, spoon fed convenience… if any of them had the hunger for knowledge their digging wouldn’t take much more than going down the rabbit hole.
Hip hop became popular culture and not everyone is a ‘ hip hop head’

The answer is yes, and I don't care

The algorithms on streaming platforms have gotten pretty good, there's a lane for everybody. The only reason to complain these days is if you care about what's popular

Im not talking about no singles my man… like wether nba puts out a single for radio, a freestyle, or a fu#king street record I don’t care he is trash to me and is a punch in rapper, and that’s what I mean I don’t enjoy a lot of new rappers actual raps, I don’t like how they put sh1t together it’s sloppy and half assed, I enjoyed hip hop when u had to come wit it and originality and unique sh1t was comming from all parts east coast west coast down south it didn’t matter people actually took time to create and make something dope that’s going to stand the test of time

Lil Wayne punches in too, but you can't ever tell because he actually understand bars and when to end his lines.

Youngboy's music sounds like trash, it's almost like he's intentionally making his bars too long and punching in before he finishes saying his last word. It's trash and it does not sound good.

I know what u mean tho a lot of new rappers do that, you end up hearing the follow up bar before the first line is even finished, that’s jus trash performance and letting the engineers bandage it all up the dudes who mix this sh1t are the real mvps forsure

What I think Youngboy is doing is trying to on the song in the OP is rap 'aggressively' without a real flow, but forgetting that he actually has to follow the tempo/bars & beats of a song. It just winds up sounding messy and unorganized.

A real engineer would tell that n1gga to stop doing that sh1t, because it winds up sounding like a bunch of copied and pasted bullsh1t. Who wants to listen to a bunch of bars that are sound cut tf up and incohesive?

You can crossfade and shorten the length of each of recording, but there's only so much you can do with a bad recording/performance. Theres no excuse for someone as big as YB to still be recording music like that.

well said!

and when it was way WAY back - you had to stay up until 2 in the morning to record a rap song off some radio station all the way up on the dial ... you'd be afraid to move because it would cause static trying to tune in that little a$s radio station that played rap one time slot a week lololololll
then the next day in school you had that cassette and you were a hero!

LOLOLL

Why get on here then ? Just to slap posts and suck off some rapper?

we need to get him banned.

Right , cool n1ggas done got banned for nothing but these weird n1ggas get to go wild on here everyday
