• Early Age Rap (90s)
    50 replies, posted
I myself, love this age of rap. This is when all of the big names were doing their thing, like Nas, 2pac, Biggie, A Tribe Called Quest, ect. So, Facepunch, what age of rap do you like? Present, early 2000s, or the 90s? I personally hate present rap, besides from Childish Gambino, and Joey Bada$$, there both very good, actually great rappers.
You're awfully generalizing here... Present day "rappers" have their equivalents from back in the day, including some of those you've listed. If you want to talk Hip-Hop then that's another story.
you say you hate present rap yet both your username and avatar are a reference to tyler, the creator nice one dude.
I try not to limit myself to "ages" because it's generally the listener's fault if they can't find anything good from a period
you uh you do realise rap was around WAY before the 90s, right? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAnojTvyc0g[/media]

Music, including rap, is just music for me. If it's good, it doesn't matter when it was made. I guess in general I would rather prefer some of the older stuff, but that's not to say everything today is bad.
I prefer the older school of rap like Eazy E, Biggie, Pac and all the others but lurking around in the HipHop/Rap thread there are some alright people around now, it's just the rappers now are not talking about gangs and other shizz like that anymore.

Childish Gambino sends pictures of his dick to innocent fans on snapchat I wish i was joking but I know that this happened Also if he wasn't Troy from Community I'm fairly sure he would probably be a lot less anywhere but he's tumblr-core because Community [editline]1st April 2013[/editline] This thread should be hijacked for the beat generation [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaoXAwl9kw[/media] because gil scott heron
no one would give a shit about childish gambino if he wasn't on community also he isn't talented

YOU don't need to like community to like him but you would not be aware of him if he was not on this show, since whoever told you about him would not, etc, it goes all the way down the line

Just shut the fuck up.
again you're completely missing the point rofl

I didn't even know he was on Community until Camp had already been out for months.

this repeated argument is going to consume the music section, I can tell [QUOTE=Onirik;40123723]even if that was true how does that make an artist less enjoyable[/QUOTE] Point is that there are a lot of better rappers out there who are failing simply by virtue of the fact that they're less marketable than Donald Glover who is famous in a billion other aspects so has a pretty easy ride I have no opinion on his music because I've never listened - it might be good or it might not be good (I think I've heard one song and liked the beats but didn't like the rapping) but the point is that Childish Gambino is well-known basically because Community and the whole jack of all trades image perpetuated by tumblr even if you didn't find out about him through Community there is no denying that the vast majority of his audience did and that's how he got so big so fast, Community is tumblr-core and so is Childish Gambino
