    I love all forms of hip-hop whether it be new or old tbqh. I don't like the idea of people calling each other dustheads or trap packers like as if you're cheering on a sports team.

    Hip Hop is youth oriented and more about the present. The younger generations believe in this the most. They're mostly focused on whatever artists they grew up listening to and whatever is going on now. Of course, in a few years, the artists they like will be considered "Old School" and the cycle continues. It's probably a big reason why I think the future sustainability of Rap music is bleak. This is one of those genres where Old School rappers tend to be viewed unfavorably. Other genres tend to worship their older artists. I grew up in the 90's, so I grew up on those records. I also learned to appreciate the 80's because that era came first. It's true, it's a dated sound but that doesn't mean that it holds no value. A teenager or person in their early 20's, the 2000's is viewed as Old School.

    And people who only listen to new s--- while rubbishing the old stuff is just as bad imo

    Seems like according to many you can only listen to one or the other when it's perfectly fine to listen to both and enjoy it equally.

    I'm really not sure who are the worst;
    Those that think the Golden Age was better and discredit anything that comes out of it
    Or
    Those who think modern rap is better and discredit anything older.

    Simple minded folk.

    There is absolutely no reason why you can't enjoy everything. Hip Hop has been cranking out classics since the 80s up until 2015. And I'm sure more will follow.

    Everyone itt delusional af speaking as a youth who hangs out with only other youth, I can say with absolute certainty that kids today don't "hate" older rappers, the only backlash you'll see is people on forums getting mad at annoying a--- real hip hop heads. There's nothing malicious about enjoying your generations' sound over the previous one, that's been happening to every genre forever.

    my personal reason is mainly sound quality. it irks me to no end when things sound genuinely old. Add to that, that a lot of the production of old school sounding hip hop just doesn't appeal to me on any level and I'm left with nothing...

    drax youre a little b---- to attack someone that actually has depression like that.
    and its blatanly obvious its an alias.
    because if youve just been lurking and know the entire backstory of the website
    youre the BIGGEST fa---- on here.
    and if youre just an alias trying to stir the pot, youre an even bigger fa---- for being too scared to do it on your main account for fear of being banned or ethered or whatever it is your queer a--- cares about

    usually when you start bringing someone's personal issues or hobbies (such as music) into an argument, it means you're having trouble coming up with a valid argument and are clearly irritated

    Just a reminder everyone, the guy saying things like;
    (i tried to quote this next one but he f----- the whole post format up somehow)
    He's 13 and he's really wise with a huge insight into the matter of hip-hop and generations. He would know a lot about music from the 90's because he wasn't even alive till 2003. Everyone prepare to be blessed by the most pretentious c---- alive :rejoice:

    Nah it's actually the best, smartest, and most consistent. 13 seasons and only a handful of mediocre episodes.

    Apparently most of us don't like music and hip-hop isn't original anymore
