Who the posters in here 38 and up

Older heads, so why did Public Enemy's influence fade out while NWA's image was pushed extra hard?

CRACK COCAINE. Corporate influence. PE was dangerous to the status quo. Their music fell off a little too and it retrospect it was Flav and Griff's fault. Niggas liked NWA cause they weren't up on the Geto Boys who were on that shit when Dre was draped in sparkly catsuits BUT they actually offered social commentary too. They were conflicted but the shit was genuine. NWA felt like something fresh and they had a degree of semi-social consciousness on the first joint but then was just disgusting on the Niggaz4Life shit. That shit was on purpose though..

I know I can't hate the young cats for what they l listen to, it's they era. My era came and went , and yeah I reminisce, who don't, like these same cats will do in 20 years, part of life, you remember what you enjoyed

People don't realize that you really do stay attached to the music of your youth. There's actual reasons for it and why it imprints in our brains so hard. In 20 years alot of dudes in here will find themselves remembering some shit now they don't really like and realize it wasn't as bad as they thought lol or just the opposite that it wasn't as good as they thought

Mos Def, it reminds you of certain things, what you were doing, into and people you met. My pops is 76 and he'll hear a song and can tell you exactly what he was doing at that time when he was bumping it

Real shit ..

Albums I'm copping now are mostly 99/2000/2001 and 2002 even '03 both HipHop and RnB and just for nostalgic reasons

Even the music I thought was meh a decade ago, I've re-visited. ..

All this talk about y'all mamas being 30s and 40s kinda lowkey turning me on. I want to hit somebody mama off the IC real talk. I'm a fuck around and end up one of y'all niggas stepdad sitting around in a wife beater taking my frustrations with Jay Z out on y'all with a belt.

38...I don't do politics on here, but I do agree with threadstarter's opening post..

 

[king hassan]

Don't mind old heads in here, 56but act like grown man, not like immature muthafuckas. Tired of 40+ dudes still talking about how they in the streets

I know all the old homies on here talk about work familyand normal b.s. never heard one mention street shit

 

[Kalecrunch]

NWA influence and changed not only Rap but Entertainment in general. It helped set the stage for what can be states on wax and even film i think.

"scram kid, ya bothers me son..."

Nah but I'm 40 doin what cats my age do... i'm always in slow motion, dig? A nigga my age is supposed to be loungin, cruising through life steered off into the pimp lane.

I'd be damn if I was some age 20's introvert spending the best of my youth years on a forum complaining about why us older heads are still posting. (think about that for a sec)

I would think you younger cats would be the most casual of posters being that you're too busy getting real life experiences under your belt instead of hearing about it in social media. None of this shit was around when we was out there in that scenery you cats only hear about but could never recreate or emulate.

Been there, done that, game over...

If you not a big dog get your puppy ass off the porch!

Ya'll talk about it while we live(d) it.

Sometimes I think the Older Hip Hop heads failed the younger ones in terms of schoolin them about dope rap, influences, etc. Back in the day We had credible publications and Dj's music programming, and music personality's etc that gave you a guide to what's quality and it also guided other artist for the most part.

I'm 46 and proud to have made it this far. I've seen a lotta shit come and go as far as hip hop goes and I enjoy being involved in passionate debates or conversations about hiphop.

Actually they were doing that but the audience changed and younger cats were on something different. That's how it goes in all music forms. How jazz went to blues, to r & b to funk to hip hop. But as new things usher in people say the older stuff was wack. Sad to say, but that's how it is

Yeah well there was a thread last week about the hottest 80s rap albums and I'm one of the few people that contributed to it. I mean, the IC got a classics vault but they refuse to add any 80s rap albums, like as if 5 Mic classics started with The Chronic.

For me, the most humbling thing about the internet is being able to go back and find stuff that came out before my time. I grew up in the 80s but I was only a kid. I graduated in 91. But there's stuff on the internet like Ego Trip's book of rap lists that lists all the hot sh!t from 1979-1998. I can remember getting those mp3s on a data file and spending the next couple of months trying to make sense of all the stuff that came out in the early 80s that I didn't really remember firsthand.

Also, we all know that Hip Hop started in the parks in The Bronx. But there's so many live shows from 80-81 that people taped in the early days at clubs like The Audobon Ballroom, the T-Connection, The Ecstacy Garage, The Executive Playhouse, Harlem World and The Fever. Tapes like these give you an idea of what a Hip Hop show was like, how people rhymed, the difference between the freestyle MCs and the more polished crews that had routines. If you've heard the Kool Moe Dee vs Busy B tape, just imagine there's hundreds of tapes circulating like that and in the early days, cats in The Bronx and Harlem used to buy those tapes like we buy mixtapes and albums now. Mind you, there was no internet back then so if one of your buddies had the Busy B vs Kool Moe Dee battle on tape, you'd want a copy of it and you'd probably be willing to pay $10-$20 for it.
