your fav type/era of rap
« on: September 04, 2003, 12:12:21 PM »
with all these peeps on here luvin snoop collabo's with the neptunes more than anyone else I just wondered what everyone's fav type of rap is and what era.

my fav is definately westcoast funk rap, especially the gfunk from the period of 92-96.  That was when deathrow was huge, gfunk was huge, the bay was huge with sic-wid-it records, man those were good days.  Rap nowadays sucks balls, I don't even know why I buy new cd's anymore.  I give 95% of most new cd's a spin or two and then they sit on my shelf and collect dust.  I am afraid that I have already heard the best rap I am ever goin to hear in my life (not that that rap was bad, it was the best, just I wish I could hear more in the future).  It ain't even about music anymore, its all about business.  My prediction is in 2 years justin timberlake will have a rap cd.

Yep. Same here, although I also like the new Cash Money sound a lot. It's totally different, but I love it.

My favorite era is the one from '88 to. '93/94. I really like the old West Coast releases like King Tee, Above The Law,  Da Lench Mob, CMW, N.W.A or the first two Paris albums. Real lyrics and dark, reduced but still funky beats (like the ones Sir Jinx or DJ Pooh did). ;D

Man, that's so true - I feel exactly the same way.

You just got to be happy that you can still bump that old shit - hell, that's the beautiful thing about music: it's timeless. Don't matter if you hate Snoop's tunes with The Neptunes, you can bump Doggystyle til the cows come home ;D

If I've got to choose an era it would be 93-94, just 'cause at that time EVERYONE was hittin' - all kinds of styles co-existed peacefully. Look at that era and you got The Chronic, Doggystyle, 36 Chambers, Illmatic, Ready To Die, Southernplayalistic... the list goes on.

I like 92-96, but I really loved '94, especially the Ruthless Records sound then.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.

1988 - 1992

I hate how artists now format albums with 10 guest appearances, 20 tracks at over 70 minutes and intros plus skits.  

They had the right formula for a classics back then, 10 - 14 tracks, little to no guests, no skits.  Just pure hip-hop with no bullshit.

So true...those new albums sound more like compilations than anything else.
