Jeru is a legend

It's crazy bc the top tier producers of the 90's - RZA, Dr. Dre, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, Havoc and so on are literally pioneers and musical geniuses who created unique and iconic styles.

When they listen to rock they want it to be experimental and noisy, then when they want to rap they get intimidated by anything that isn't some easy listening sing song s***.

for sure no denying that.

but i think lots of the younger people don't even care to go back for that type of stuff.
with some hip hop records you really needed to be there to fully grasp it i guess

I wasn't there at all I only started getting into that grimey 90's s*** in my early teens, about the same time I was getting into classics from all the other genres and it blew me away

Some albums took many listens to click, but when they finally did it was totally worth it. I guess that kids today are just lazier, plus they're afraid of getting "clowned" by their KTT and Discord buddies

but are those 90s hip hop albums mentioned in op not also highly regarded by anthony fantano, pitchfork, thefader and rateyourmusic

i think there was just this big shift in how people consume music nowadays compared to even like 10 years ago when kendrick and all them came up...it felt more organic
ppl appreciated it more but now idk you would think with streaming making it easier than ever to get access to all the old s*** ppl would go back a lil more, and yea some do but most just rather stream the same 3 songs from the same 3 artists all day lol

idk back then there was something rare about it ig now its just dust to most.

bringing in the DUST

Them boys racist & faint of heart

Yeah there seems to be some weird generational gap

My friends who were listening to hip hop in the early 2010's really swear by that 90's hip hop s***, but those who started listening in like the last 3-5 years can't get into it at all except for a few

You wanna know why? Because in the eyes of their white 19 yo friends, Chadster, Digby and Bradford, who listens to Frank Ocean and Arctic Monkeys - 90s rap is "cringe" and "outdated" while the f***ing Smithes and Pixies makes "timeless classics". Those people don't enjoy either of those genres, but they do enjoy looking like a smartass in front of a forum full of nerds, or in front of their lame, basic friends; so they search on google "top 10 indie/prog rock albums of all time".

I'd rather listen to some garage indie trash from bandcamp instead of a "classic" I don't like, just to impress someone. At least the bandcamp s*** I'll kinda like.

yeah some time between 14 and 15 there was a shift

Because they white

Shield's experimentation with guitar tone would be influenced by sampled sounds employed by Public Enemy and the Bomb Squad, which Shields described as "half-buried or muted, a real sense of sounds being semi-decayed, or destroyed, but then re-used."
