I'm not being nostalgic, I was barely alive for most classic hip hop and I'm white as poo poo, it definitely wasn't a big part of my upbringing or childhood It's good because it is good, not because it's old, is my point I guess.

Toxxupation posted:Wildstorm was pretty neat, but the 90s outside of the best rap there ever was until the mid-late 2000s when KanYe/etc hit the scene and made people stop the faux gangsta rap bullshit that poisoned the early 2000s were pretty much a cultural wasteland. Television, video games, comics, music outside of rap, all just...a deep, deep embarrassment. You are fundamentally wrong. Based on this, I'm going to assume that, like WickedHate, you are too young to have actually experienced the 90s.

Alaois posted:have you ever like, actually listened to any of it you loving drooling lobotomy patient The nineties was the decade that saw the releases of albums like Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Liquid Swords, The Score, Doggystyle, The Chronic, 2001, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Illmatic, Ready to Die, Aquemini, AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted, The Diary and Black On Both Sides among many others. Even if you only listed Wu albums the nineties would still be the best decade for rap.

90's gave us Gen X's cynicism and sarcasm which was a perfect response to the 80's bloat and greed. There is a reason Nirvana was seen as the final nail in 80's hair metals coffin. In other words the 90s ruled.

drat y'all put some effort into your chat thread ops Every decade has good rap and bad it's just that like everything else we've had time to weed out what's good and what isn't with the older stuff and people come to the conclusion that a cherry picked list = this is all that ever came out at that point

Lencho posted:Your favorite band is Hollywood Undead. Well, they used to be. I hated their last album for the most part. Now I'd be more likely to say my favorite band is Blue Oyster Cult, the Black Keys, Mindless Self Indulgence, or Tub Ring. As far as metal goes I like doom metal a lot, like Electric Wizard or Uncle Acid, though I grew up liking more power stuff like Dragonforce and Hammerfall. Nile is some good poo poo too, and I think their death? I have a hard time distinguishing between death and black metal. JoshTheStampede posted:Genres change and that's good but it's not like you have to like every iteration of every genre. I like old-rear end country music but can't stand New Country, for example. God, yes. I can think of a few songs labeled country that I like but even they don't feel country at all. Johnny Cash is where's loving at man.

You guys talking about country music should check out Old Crow Medicine Show or the Steeldrivers, not everything being recorded this century is crossover friendly garbage designed to let people in red states who make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year feel like they're still redneck.

Oh, sure, I'm aware. When I say 70s rap was bad I think it goes without saying that it's a broad generalization and I realize there are exceptions to everything. Just like there was a lot of bad poo poo in the 90s, too, it wasn't all Wu-Tang Forever.

CapnAndy posted:End Me Scoob, your username/avatar/text combo has been haunting me. It is genuinely disturbing and I think now is finally the time to ask: Where is all that from, why is Velma desperately begging for death from Scooby Doo? Oh, it just came from a game of Quiplash. I found the art somehow and paid for the namechange/avatar, and a few ideas have occurred to me for cycling out different characters there, but I've never found art of the other characters that's so haunting in the process to work there. I really wish someone had a good Fred. That one is probably the darkest. site posted:drat y'all put some effort into your chat thread ops Realtalk: this was a recycled piece I was trying to pitch a while ago before a site went under, which is why it feels kinda flaky in parts. Dexie posted:Was Milestone's stuff collected in trades? I'm assuming if so they're out of print. Rhyno posted:OP's OP reminds me that the bulk of the original Static series was never collected in trade and some of those final issues sell for $25+ each due to the low print run. I don't know if digital has fixed this (I don't really have a device to read 'em on, so I don't look) but at least the last time they tried was infuriating, because around the mid-2000s when they shoved Milestone's cast into DC for maybe half a year, they promised they would begin reprinting trades of those older series as an archival thing. Now, keep in mind, these were series that ran 30-50 issues in 4 main books, with a few miniseries or events like Long Hot Summer. From memory, only two came out (Hardware got one trade, and Static the other), they were wildly incomplete (the Static one had a couple of origin issues and then his final miniseries), and they have never spoken on it since. To add insult to injury, the "wrapup" two-parter they did to polish off the line and give closure around that time, Milestone Forever, got hosed with on release (art and dialogue were changed) and never collected, period. Being a Milestone fan, doubly so as a Static fan, in the 2000s onwards, was a constant chain of kicks to the dick.

I really enjoy the way Piskor will pop in on someone who is going to be important for a panel or a page just like "he was doing some things before he got big." HHFT rules. Can't wait for Vol. 3 and 4 to come out.

Aphrodite posted:What year did "Word Up" come out? That decade was when music was at its best. 1986. The biggest song that year was "That's What Friends Are For" by Dionne Warwick and Friends (said friends were Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Gladys Knight). The number one album that year was Whitney Houston's self-titled debut album. A hard rock version of "Word Up!" was also a hit for a Scottish band called Gun in 1994.

Huh. I really like Ramos, now and earlier, and I also really like latter-day Bachalo which is similar. It's obviously very anime-inspired and I don't really like anime very much (despite my username), but something about that graffiti-style art they do I really like. It's way better than the photorealistic stuff like Deodato/Land/Whoever, to me - at least when people are drawn making surprised faces in a cartoony way it doesn't look like a Tom Goes To The Mayor sketch.
