View Full Version : generally rap music from the 80s is terrible
as an outsider who didn't live during that era i can't even enjoy that sh1t. its just plain bad music. i feel like you have to be sentimentally attatched to 80s hip hop to actually listen to it and feel it. yet i can listen to motown classic sh1t today and love it. what does that tell you about 80s hip hop? how classic is it really?

the majority of 80s music across the board does not seem to stand up with time....however some of the fashion has.

its amazing that you say that seeing how 90% of the beats heard today are using 80's drums claps and percussions

Enough said...
I dunno what music from then you heard, and I know some of it is not great by later standards... but you could say the same about any era depending on what music it was you heard. If I was just now gettin' into hip-hop and I heard some sh*t like Digable Planets, I'd think the whole early-90s were wack. But since I know better than that, I know that's not the case.
Co-sign dude talkin' about the production too- that sh*t cracks me up when niqqas act like that's some new sh*t that wasn't also done in the mid-to-late 80s.

yea ..its funny when people talk about things they dont know about.
You say "The 80's" like its all the same. You cant compare 1980 to 1985 to 1989 the styles are all completely different.

People in the cul-de-sacs don't count. Their interpretation of 80s rap is Tone Loc and Hammer.

To me a good portion of the music from the 60s-70s- 90s seem to hold up better.

2000's have just as many one hit wonders as the 80's
Lumidee, D4FL, Shop Boyz, Mike Jones, Bonecrusher...these names is gonna ring bells for years:dry:
And Big Daddy Kane made terrible music with wack beats on his first two albums? LL made garbage? Public Enemy? BDP? D.O.C.'s album was trash with trash beats from Dre?

Everything before 87 is unlistenable to me. I didnt grow up with it, I dont care. Its lyrically awful and they all used the same samples

The question is how is it holding up against time...how much of it has eternal replay value.

Let's see... when there are entire radio shows, stations, parties, etc. DEDICATED to the '80s, I'd say there's clearly enough.
It ain't like '80s music is some cult sh*t that only a limited audience still care about. Anybody who grew up in that time, and even people who didn't happen to love music from then.

Aiiight dude... you seem to be one of those niqqas who're never gonna be wrong. YES, the '80s produced lots of one-hit wonders, but so has EVERY decade. The '90s produced lots of 'em too, or do you not recall that? This decade definitely has produced lots of 'em, or do you not recall that either?
You're using examples like that's the only people who were makin' music. Yeah, skip all over Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, Lionel Richie, Anita Baker, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, New Edition, even Billy fukkin' Ocean... just to bring up Oran "Juice" Jones. Come on dude.

I do very much know what Im talking about. They used plenty of samples back then. I dont really fukk with the live rock guitar sh1t either. Its just me dog, you dont have to agree. But until Rakim and KRS came along OLD school doesnt really do anything for me. I have infinite respect for the old acts, I just dont fukk with em

you said "Before 87"
But on the whole samples werent used before then. Not until the Sp12 was released - it was mainly drum machine beats until about 87.
i was there im 32 i remember the time. Not saying you have to like it but artistically its miles ahead of 90% of anyhting in the past 8 -10 years

why is this in beef zone?
Lets see:
NWA
Run DMC
LL
Rakim
Public Enemy
Slick Rick
2 Live Crew/Luke
Melle Mel/Grandmaster Flash
Queen Latifah
Jazzy Jeff n Fresh Prince
Krs1/BDP
Ice T
MC Lyte
maybe Audio 2
The majority of those folks had hits in the 90's too. I say rap from the 80's was n still is good. Just the first 7 alone on that list u can say survived into the 2000's. And I didnt even put in any one-hit wonders...maybe....cant remember really some of those....
