Title: Hip Hop has become boring, dont you think?
Post by: Que (signing off) on January 21, 2005, 01:43:25 AM: I hear a song or an album every now and again that I like. But rap music bores the shit out of me now . . .

Maybe its just cause im getting older?

Post by: Elevz on January 21, 2005, 03:19:42 AM: Maybe your problem is just that you don't like the 2005 hiphop sound as much as you liked it back in 1995 or whenever. I feel you on that one. It seems like classics aren't made anymore, but there's enough "good" albums out there right now. Maybe you're just getting too old, but I don't think so ;D

Post by: I`m Wayne Brady bitch! on January 21, 2005, 04:18:42 AM: Possibly one of the reasons of why you think it`s boring is becouse everything has been tried in the hip hop genre now . Every music genre goes through this , and in 2005 you CANT reinvent the wheel .
But I have to dissagree with you . There are alot of dope hip hop artists . It`s just like in every music type you find bullshit music . You just got to search for the good ones 8)

Post by: Que (signing off) on January 21, 2005, 07:38:06 AM: For the last year 90% of music I listen to and purchase is not Hip Hop.

I remember even back 3 or 4 years ago, I would love to listen to a Lil C Style album, now he's released one last year and I havent even downloaded, bought or listened to a single track off it. I don't even know if I can be bothered to download that new Daz album. I didnt bother getting any of the Snoop Dogg Chuuuch mixtapes, 213 album bores the life out of me. I think there is so much material around now, its just one thing after another, mixtapes etc. Westcoast rap has become sloppy imo.

I have more enjoyment in listening to an album released in the early 90's than all of the shit released nowadays. Appart from Jay Z, I always enjoy listening to Jay releases.

I just wondered if anyone thought the same about rap music today.

Cool.

Post by: Don Seer on January 21, 2005, 07:39:28 AM: lil styles album is quite nice :P
Title: Re: Hip Hop has become boring, dont you think?
Post by: Que (signing off) on January 21, 2005, 07:44:24 AM: Cool, I should check that. RBX one was awful imo.

I think 50 Cent, D12, Ja Rule and R&B rap has turned me off Hip Hop.Even though I love me some old P Diddy and Mase, strange.
Title: Re: Hip Hop has become boring, dont you think?
Post by: Don Seer on January 21, 2005, 07:45:05 AM: of the two recent RBX ones.. one was ok, the other wasnt..

i feel you...

there's still a solid amount of dope rap music, but my golden years are definitely over. compared to back in the day, i'm quite a different person, too.

but: i don't blame rap. it's just me.

Same here. There's still so many dope cds from back in the day that I still gots to check and enjoy...

Post by: SGV on January 21, 2005, 01:19:30 PM: I picked up The Team and Dirty Rats albums. Those are dope. Once we ALL get out of the old rapper phase, Hip Hop will become enjoyable again.

well all those you mentioned are very similar, you might just need some more variety.. some hardcore, some deep, some whatever.. the 213 album doesn't do shit for me neither, let alone the chuuuch mixtapes..

RJD2 - F.H.H. [Fuck HipHop (fits your current state of mind too. ), rjd2 is the producer, the mc is Jakki Da Motamouth, he's dope as fuck]
Doomsday Productions - 4 Minute Murda
Fu-Schnickens - Sneakin' Up On Ya
Gravediggaz - Today's Mathematics
Royal Fam - ACID

^^ some random really dope tracks from the top of my head, very different too, download em maybe it'll help you to get over the phase (which it doubless is, I don't think it's possible to be too old for hiphop, there's too much variety in it)

Post by: _That_Cracka_J on January 21, 2005, 03:35:06 PM: I quickly get bored with most of the new shit that comes out nowadays for sure. I'll listen to the CD once or twice, but then I pop that CD from 1995 or 1996 back in the deck and continue bumping that. IMO the quality of the music now is WAY down.

Post by: AlerG on January 21, 2005, 04:36:08 PM: i've always been into redman and erick sermon material but just in the past week got into the Def Squad album El Nino, that shit is so tight, the beats and rhymes are dope as hell...it's albums like that, that still keeps me interested...you should check the new canibus mixtape with nottz that shit is pretty tight as well, gives me high hopes for the nottz and canibus collabo album soon to be released, peace.

Post by: Bramsterdam (see ya) on January 23, 2005, 01:16:56 PM: I think you should get into some different kind, if all you're listening to is the mainstream, then yeah, that gets boring fast, gangstas bitches and gats on every song?

Get into underground ;D
Title: Re: Hip Hop has become boring, dont you think?
Post by: T.J. on January 24, 2005, 01:58:45 AM: i agree, it got very boring. and no i didnt listen to mainstream shit when i liked rap. get into the hardcore rock
Title: Re: Hip Hop has become boring, dont you think?
Post by: Drudge on January 24, 2005, 07:27:38 AM: Yeah, Hiphop is very boring to me. In fact, I haven't seen any impact on hiphop since Eminem's Slim Shady LP. That whole era, Mobb Deep, Rage against the Machine, Biggie, Pac, and others made you think... what's next? Lately, one song from a hiphop artist comes out give you a little buzz but nothing with longevity. I'm back to listening to Metal and Classic rock. Zeppelin, a life once lost, Meshuggah, with occassional flare up for old hiphop.
