90's rap is the sh*t! I think the difference is that 90's hip hop artists were, for the most part, hungry and broke. So since they did not have the advantage of big budgets which, as a rusult, kept them from being lazy. I think the biggest difference between Rap music now and today is that when you listen to 90's hip hop...you can feel the music and message more. Even if the message is ignorance, it is still authentic and that is what makes it all worth listening to. You can also tell in the quality of the music. Today's rap is more like a job to these dudes. SHow up at a studio...nod my head to the producer's wack beat...smoke a blunt...get in the booth...spit some adlibs...spit the rhymes that I wrote on the bus on the way to the studio...tell people how hot it is...go home...do it all over again tomorrow. THat sh*t ain't hip hop...that's working at a factory!
The Rap Hater Pic of the Day:
Today's Pic is the Chessboard from the GZA's Liquid Swords (1995) album liner notes. Awesome Picture! Wu-Tang made it cool to play chess and promoted intelligence in all people no matter what you are doing with your life. Even Ol DIrty...Sometimes.
