Knight Barida Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Rap songs of old are made of hard punchlines. Lines that would make one stand up from their sit to give a clap. It seems it is not the same nowadays with rap about drugs and money being the in thing. Don't it sound strange, or am I the one overthinking this?

killamch89 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 It's definitely been watered down since the early 2000s. In addition to that, most of the modern rappers aren't talented in any way whatsoever. Knight Barida 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is more like most modern rappers are just talking about women and drugs without making songs that connect more with the soul. I've missed those raps of old, I am telling you.

Heatman Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Yes of course, rap haven't been the same since long 2000's. Today, all they focus on is using half naked ladies to dance and throw dollars around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 (edited) We’re definitely long past the days of NWA and 2Pac. There’s a few that are talented as hell, but the other 98% are the most untalented “musicians” in rap that have ever picked up a mic.

Shortie Posted May 27 Share Posted May 27 You are not overthinking at all. Rap has definitely been watered down compared to how it used to be in the 2000s and it does a lot of the time feel weird to listen to, even sometimes something we don't tend to listen to due to what is being rapped about either.

I mean issues and talks that are not relevant. What is the purpose of doing so? That is exactly what I don't know at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ja sa bong Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Sadly, rap is no longer what it used to be. It's only a few guys that can really rap today. The rest are just trying to get by. You know real rap when you see it especially seeing Emenim sing recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
