I know when I started listening to rap one of the first albums I got was 36 Chambers and Ridin' Dirty. The first rap I liked was Mobb Deep's "Hell on Earth", and various Cash Money songs. That was in '98

Cool Buff Man posted:What the gently caress does this even mean Apparently you were the only one who didn't get it so you must be the problem. It means exactly what it says - a few artists who non-rap listeners like, but ridicule others with similar musical content. Stop being a dipshit and go away. E: OF is the exception. Hence my last question: "What is this about?". It's a shame I had to spell that out for you. John Brown fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Apr 1, 2013 |

Fun Times! posted:It's popular in genres of all things to get your introduction from the classics. I know when I started listening to rap one of the first albums I got was 36 Chambers and Ridin' Dirty. My first foray into rap included the fat boys, run dmc, and that thing called MTV just starting to go nationwide*. By the time 1993 came around, I had seen the "Chessboxin'" video and even had a friend who had 36 Chambers on CD, but at the same time my heavy rotation consisted of Dre, Snoop, Geto Boys, Ice Cube, Das Efx, EPMD, Onyx and the like. Oh, and Bone. I was more interested in that than hearing any Wu-Tang, which I finally got into when buying Enter The Wu-Tang from a used CD bin in 1997. Hell, I didn't even get into The Notorious B.I.G until his second album dropped; there was so much other stuff going on at the time, even in the mainstream. I remember getting a copy of Ridin' Dirty second hand from a kid who said "someone left this CD in my car". I had seen the CD in record stores, but had no clue what they sounded like. This was 1997. UGK weren't even getting national radio play, so I had no clue who they were. Oh, but in 1993, my whole thought was "who the hell wants to hear 9 people rapping on a track?" because that was highly unheard of. As far as big posse rap crews go, I see that Hiero came out in 1991. I knew who Del was back then, but I was unaware of the crew or songs until the mid-to late 90s. Onyx and Bone were already pushing it with crew members. And I never really got into ATCQ other than seeing their videos on MTV or BET. *mtv started out in 82 or so, but wasn't carried by all cable services, and even stereo sound was a "new thing" for television cardedagain fucked around with this message at 22:12 on Apr 1, 2013 |

ashgromnies posted:Byron Crawford is black and influential and he was calling out Ross for the rape references and hasn't mentioned the violence at all. Crawford was calling out Ross for saying he never talks about rape. He was actually going really hard at the people who were complaining about Ross. I mean have you actually seen his website? It's 70% twerk vids and white girls with big tits. Also sucks about the sound at his show, although not sure if his poo poo is really optimized at all which could be part of the problem. What songs he actually do? Anything off Blackland 666? hobbez posted:You should have to post a good or better song every time you post in this thread. Not sure if we're ready for those deep cuts. Cube also fell of years ago, this isn't really anything new. Also Rack City was really nice, but it had about zero to do with Tyga. Most of the songs Future is on he definitely is a large part of why they're good. I didn't really get his stuff at first, and even now I don't think it's all amazing, but dude does have an interesting sound and manages to actually separate himself fromgeneric autotune singer/rappers.

Chief Keef is cool too, I think he does some autotune rap or at least singing rapping stuff. But everyone else, jump off a building. Edit: Kanye gets grandfathered in. He taught dudes how to make autotune hiphop. T-Paine started it but Kanye gave dudes lessons. Now, "rappers" are making the same lazy songs over and over and if another person shows me some new rap and its a dude moaning with a robot voice, I should be allowed to tell them to gently caress themselves. temple fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Apr 1, 2013 |

Sure, he's had some bad stuff but Cube is pretty legendary (overlooking the disney stuff, but can't blame him it was probably easy money.) I wouldn't say he fell off, he's had a good amount of good albums. They probably aren't doing as well as they were before thought.. His Everythangs Corrupt, which is the other single from his upcoming album (the other single being Crowded which I posted earlier), is pretty dope in my opinion. Which is why I was looking forward to his album, but Crowded is bad.. Anyhow, here's some classic Cube.

You know whats even worse than Tyler creator being a childish meme raperapper? This poo poo:quote:"The agency is a way to stay true to Tyler and not do endorsements, but to allow companies to use his creative energy," Clancy says. "There's a demographic out there that corporate America has lost, but Tyler has managed to build a brand around it."

John Brown posted:Wu-tang? Wu-Tang are possibly one of the most easily accessible and successful rap groups of the 90's whose work represents rap at its best, with great samples, rhymes and a lot of fun. It is how I got in, it is how many will get in. When you look for a gateway for something in the past, one place to look is on the internet, and a lot of the internet will dictate the best time in rap as being in the 90's, and that will inevitably point to Wu-Tang (it might also point to Tupac, or B.I.G., but finding the Wu is going to happen soon). That is why people say they are a gateway to rap fans. Also, I prefer God Hour, not Wu Hour. However, I would not say Wu-Tang as a gateway is anything like OF as a gateway. Most people I know who use Wu-Tang as a gateway usually go through their backcatalogue, then work their way through to other artists of their day who are remembered as good, then work forwards. Only time will tell, but I don't feel like fans of OF are going to be fans of rap in the future, they are going to touch it, but not take it on. OF don't really, this is my opinion only here, have the same quality or surroundings that OF have. Fans of Wu-Tang will point you to more stuff of the same quality when you look to expand, however, where will fans of OF point you? I can't really think of anyone else who produces something like they do, they are their own weird little thing in rap. However, I am probs wrong on this, possibly in part because I dislike OF.

You already are in the old school if you start with Wu. As for OF, you might dip in Kendrick and maybe some other underground artists, like Danny Brown or Lil B. Its easy to look at the current artists and find that OF are in a class of their own.

I don't hang out with any teenagers anymore because that'd be weird. I would imagine when getting introduced to a genre you would find something current and work your way back, no? When I first actively listened to rock it started off with Linkin Park, who were the biggest band at the time. From there I've been working my way back through the greats while simultaneously staying current. I don't get why anyone 16-21 would go so far back and not find something more current first. NWA's style of rap is so much different than today's that it amazes me they are still a starting point for non-rap listeners.

Hey everyone, let me tell you about how to get into rap in the most logical way: I personally listened to Linkin Park at the very height of their popularity, and then began to delve into more and more classics while still listening to Linkin Park. Therefore it's patently ridiculous that a young person would listen to the wu tang clan, and I can't fathom why they would listen to such old weird crap .
