But no one wants to ever bring up 80s rappers? These guys are pure energy, it’s all they have. What they lack in lyricism and flow they make up for in literally just shouting ABAB rhymes over f***ed up roland noises. You want energy? Listen to the message. This man is fed the f*** up and is hornacing pure raw unadulterated energy. Beastie boys ARE energy. Afrikaa bambaataa made a career out of space energies. I know some of you guys say “oh dadadadada 80s are wack” but NO. THEYRE NOT

“oh dadadadada 80s are wack”

Anyone who says this just started listening to hip hop in the last four years

Well I went to the hat store today and I bought myself a hat AHA HA HA

That’s a bar. I bet it was a crazy leather hat too

THESE. ARE. THE. BREAKS.

80s aren’t wack but Afrika Bambaata didn’t make himself a career, he had one hit, another kind of important song, and didn’t put an album out until 6 years later

Who tf hates on 80s hip hop you made some s*** up

I agree and disagree. I feel like a lot of people view the 90s as the “golden era” and don’t see a reason to bother checking out anything older than that. I know a lot of people who have been listening to rap their whole lives but find the entire sound too dated to listen to which honestly, fair. But you can’t deny these guys are doing wild things

Bro now THAT is energy

Lolol fr s/o that man Kurtis Blow hope he have a good day

I’ve heard a lot of it in real life. Haven’t heard much on here but that seems to be because it almost NEVER gets discussed as far as i can tell

that dude not getting the quote he wanted

Idk any serious hip hop fan who doesn't at least kinda like any 80's rap

It's just the casuals and hypebeasts

You're mistaken: energy and hard s*** being said is what niggas like. If it's just niggas saying whatever and it's loud idgaf

peak 6ix9ine is a decent example

Did you just compare our forefathers to 69? That’s foul

Also how is a song like sucker mcs not saying hard s***? The whole era was about saying hard s*** In leather suits with gold chains the same size as the rope tied to lobster traps. No disrespect but I think you may be a teensy bit out of line

Not a single word in what I just said, said "compare" I literally just gave an example of what i was talking about

why

I didn't even say 80s niggas weren't hard I was just specifying that energy is not all that niggas care about, since the title says "everyone always wants to talk about energy" and you said verbatim "80s niggas are pure energy. It's all they have."

deadass just tried to start an argument with me over nothing

“What they lack in lyricism and flow they make up for in literally just shouting ABAB rhymes over f***ed up roland noises“

i’m not sure this would convince someone lmfao

I wasn’t trying to start an argument, and I didn’t mean that’s all people care about. I just don’t understand what you were giving an example of. The thread was to appreciate 80s rap energy and if the 69 comment wasn’t a comparison, I just don’t see how it pertained to the thread. No hatred brother, I think we’re just both on different pages I get what you’re saying now.

Would also like to point out I did NOT say that verbatim because I would never say the n word. God bless

It would convince me if I had never heard it

Also sounds like a very loose DG description

this

i can understand not fw 90s hip hop
but 80s hip hop?? just hating

You want to talk drop? The guy on the right is wearing cowboy pants and no pants. Now that’s drip

dude its not about the energy its about the C A D E N C E

Lmfao true
