can someone give me back the urge to listen to all those new rap cd's? not joking, i really used to be interested in anything that'd drop, unless it came to really wack artists, now i don't even bother downloading no more...don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to jump on the it-all-sucks-so-bad-now bandwagon, because i often think shit's aight when i listen to it, but somehow i just ain't feelin 95% of what's comin out in hiphop...it feels like it's just the same old unchanging shit based on the same patterns, even when it's decent...funny thing is i realized that a long time ago, but i used to be like 'if it's dope, fuck it', but now it actually gets me pretty bored unless it's one great song.

anybody else feel that way? Again, I'm not trying to whine about how it sucks like many people do, this year's been ok for hiphop, not like '95, but not worse than i expected. still, i'm kind of starting to stop caring, only album i really want to drop is Nas'...generally hiphop for me is, after being a fan for many years, losing much of the appeal it used to have...btw, i know other people who feel that way in real life, too

I feel the same way.  Years ago I couldn't wait for an album to drop.  If possible, I would pick it up at the local music store down the street early cause they'd release them on Fridays.  I'd even pay $15 for the CD on Friday when I coulda just waited till Tuesday and got it from Best Buy for $10!

But I feel ya cause I think some songs on newer shit is tight (not as tight as it used to be), but I get bored with them quickly.  I used to have all the new shit that came out memorized because I listened to it so much.  It is very rare nowadays that I listen to a CD long enough to barely learn the chorus, rather the whole song!

I'll pick up a brand new album now on Tuesday, play it for a few days, and then I end up popping something from '96, '94 or '95 back in the deck and continue to bump that for a week or more.  For the most part, I just don't get into what is popular now.

i love men who take pictures with their booty's out:

Don't worry about it Kill, thats perfectly normal. There was a point in time where even I questioned my love for hip hop. You'll grow out of it by next year at least.

Kill:
lol, we'll see :)

(i mean, there's both...people who go through a phase like that and get back to lovin it and people who kinda start listening to other stuff/feel other stuff more and stay like that...i know both...yes, there's also those who think they're too smart. however, i'll see how shit's gonna be in a few months, guess i just won't post quite as much in hiphop topics on this board, but i ain't leavin or anything...still gonna be the most active mod in Outbounds lol.........peace)

I always keep different music on me, because there are times when I just don't feel like listening to rap music. I love hip-hop, but once in a while I just need to kick back to some Motown, or some oldies, or some Jodeci. Ya' know. And don't worry about the not looking forward to CDs. I am the same way, have been for years. I still love hip-hop, but I really am only looking forward to very few CDs. I bought Jada, Kanye, Ghostface, Mos Def and Talib this year, and am looking forward to Xzbit and Nas at the end of the year. But other than that, I really ain't look forward to anything. Before I bought the Black Album last year, I didn't buy a new CD in like a year, so don't trip. Unless it's tight, I ain't buying it.
