Don’t know why people have this obsession for new stuff when there’s always more older and better quality stuff to uncover. Just think of it this way, ITunes and YouTube didn’t even exist in the rap golden age. So think of all the great music you either didn’t have money for or didn’t hear on radio or otherwise passed around from friends or exposed to by word of mouth. I only say that because once I post the music I listened to this year the inevitable response is like “haha Infinite you just now listenin to blah blah blah” but I guarantee there’s no way all of you could’ve given full attention to every quality release of the golden age. There’s not even enough hours in the day and some may have not even been born when it was released. So I say that to say this—while ya’ll was fuccin wit the inferior music from an inferior era above I gave my attention to uncovering more gems from the past...O.G.C — The StormGangstarr - Hard to EarnBlack Rob - Life StorySoopafly - Dat Whoopty WooHeltah Skeltah - KnocturnalBlack Moon - Enta da StageWhodini - Back in BlackNas - I AmRakim - 18th LetterNoreaga - N.O.R.ESame way with Sports really... I’d rather watch an old Tyson fight on YouTube then watch that shitty Anthony Joshua (A.J = Always Jab) Ruiz 2 fight that got a lot of press. And if not for Pat Mahomes being with the Chiefs I would pretty much be done with the new NFL, NBA, and MLB I’d rather watch and old Bulls game from the 90’s or late 80’s Pistons/Lakers on Youtube

I agree on the post about older rap to an extent (I got that Soopafly album last year too!). I mean, only recently have I purchased and heard a Spice 1 album in full for the first time, and the majority of music I have bought over the past few years has been older releases, but I do balance it out by purchasing a few new albums too.On this topic, I'm surprised no one has Tyler, the Creator's IGOR album listed in their top 10. I thought it was a fantastic album and a strong highlight from last year.
