Not familiar with that much older rap, mostly just outkast but every mobb deep song ive heard sounds ultra modern. Flow, beats etc

Is all 90s rap like this or just them

Havoc being a phenomenal producer helped. It depends on what you mean but yea Mobb Deep always had understated forward thinking production vs what was at the top of the charts at the time.

Interesting imma have to listen to the infamous soon

Also does kendrick have these guys as a big influence. Their s*** really sounds like kendrick songs lol

havoc a top five producer ever

I don't recall if he has mentioned them in interviews but I wouldn't be surprised at all now that you mention it

but musically i think u can attribute this to the minimalism of the beats and the fact that trends weren’t really followed

the fewer elements that can tie a sound directly to the past, the less dated it will be

Might hv misjudged early hip hop

Layering

Ive heard some tribe

What I heard was quite forward looking as well

the infamous and hell on earth always hit during winter time. gonna be time to play them soon

90's was peak rap. But yeah listen to Tribe asap

Ive heard the most popular of their songs nothing else but imma add it to the list

i honestly can’t listen to old school hip hop anymore without feeling cringe

don’t shoot me

2 other great albums with dope beats from the same year too

Pharcydeee these guys i listened to a fair bit a few years back when I discovered them through googling that asap rocky song

From what I remember what i heard was crazyyy tho

this is a dope ass Mobb deep song that's not on any of their albums, one of their best

How is it cringe?
