Off Topic This Is Why Most Rappers Today Suck
I agree that the quality, thought, and originality put into those at the time was way better than it is today. I guess my point is despite the increased abundance of shitty rap, I'm still able to find new stuff that I enjoy. Not necessarily because of it's musicianship, but because I can zone... -

it’s easy to remember all the good stuff and forget the bad stuff. It’s that weird memory bias. But it’s always been the same. Again you’re just exposed to more of it because anyway can become viral quickly. But they won’t stand the test of time. -

Has become? The entertainment industry has always been that . -
Off Topic This Is Why Most Rappers Today Suck
I bet you knew a few producers, like everybody else.... I doubt you could tell exactly who made any beat at any time in history by sound alone. You would have already known the group (death row, bad boy) and known the producer that way. Most of the stuff at the time sounded the same too. The... -

Even in the 80's rap was oversaturated. I think the beats were ripped off then more than they are today. What was unique was the subject matter. Which is why you had political and funny rappers. But even then they were still rhyming the same words together. There was only a few that stood out... -

That's because in the 80's when rap was blowing up, everyone wanted a piece of the pie. It became over saturated into everything like cereal commercials. Sure it was creative and unique, but because there was so much to explore and so many people were trying to do their own thing. But it wasn't... -

I agree 100%, honestly maybe I’m just F’d up. Maybe that’s why I’m able to enjoy the music despite these horrible truths . I will say I agree that most of the music put out is bad, but I still like combing through them to find the few gems in between. I guess that’s why I turned towards making... -

I can see why all of these things would put people off of rap. For me though, I’ve stopped caring about subject matter because you find those things glorified in movies, video games, etc. I’m not some self righteous dude that can’t enjoy ART because it’s “harmful to society”. I’m obsessed with... -

The environment is definitely more hostile than ever, especially with a higher availability of stolen guns. But I wouldn’t chalk all that up to “rap lyrics are bad”. Give me an example of a lyric from today being so much worse and violent than a lyric from the “golden era “ of hip hop -
Off Topic This Is Why Most Rappers Today Suck
Yeah I see what you mean. I've taken long breaks from hip hop and jammed to some funk, rock, metal. Mainly because I found myself bored with what was around. But I'm embarrassed to say I've kinda liked some of today's rappers. I think people just can't get over that it's no longer about having... -

What do you think of NWA or Wu-Tang? These lyrics don't cause you to commit violence. I think these kinds of lyrics are a harsh reality of whats going on in these communities and people like "the real sh*t". If you wanna blame anybody blame humanity. -

I've found myself listening to rap now, not because of lyrics, but because of the beats behind them. Unless it's someone like kendrick or cole, I really don't pay much attention to the words themselves. If the lyrics aren't very creative but sound good with the beat, I like it. I guess I've... -
