    I like gates/future and thug a lot to an extent but agree with this. A lot of their work sounds the same for me (esp production) and the mumbling is hit or miss for me. They are the few of the best artists right now tho and would take them over the cheap copycats like yatchy/designer

    Wu tang has like what, 8-9 group albums? Ive listened to about 6-7 of them and i'd only rate 36 chambers higher than 8/10

    Gfk has a great discog cant deny that


    Raekwon has two great albums and a bunch of terrible ones

    Method mans my favorite in wu but tical is his only good solo album and its honestly not that great.

    Gza has liquid swords which im not a fan of by any means

    Ins deck never put out anything that impressed me

    And the rest pretty much speak for themselves

    You are probably 15 year old.

    @ThyNeighbour not sure of Thug but I don't find him really original tbh.. for that matter I do like thug/gates/future. It's not an insult (like youngthuglover calls dust rappers) just not my thing I guess.

    90's, not only because of the quality of music, but the overall atmosphere.

    I mean, I'm sure 2010 is fun for a lot of fans, because of how accessible music is to you, but to me, it was much better during the 90's, when you had to wait for everything.

    We didn't have social media, youtube, or albums at our finger tips. You had to go out and buy the tape/CD. You had to look in the booklets, find what albums were dropping on that label, and wait until they did.

    Having a bad album, meant it was a huge deal, just as if it was a classic.

    Like you'd only have a certain amount of money to spend on tapes/cd's, so you had to make it count lol. You couldn't just download 10 albums a week and pick and choose favorite songs.

    If you bought tapes, you HAD to listen to the entire tape. You couldn't even skip tracks.

    Music videos were a big deal. And you really only could watch them when the shows came on BET/MTV that showed them. You couldn't go on YouTube.

    I mean, when you guys hear about a great battle, you can search on YouTube, and boom, you can watch it, replay it, dissect it, etc.

    I STILL have not seen the DMX vs Jay Z battle, which was like a legend.

    Artists didn't have a bunch of interviews that you could watch at any time, or social media outlets to pour their hearts into. We literally just knew these guys from a few interviews we saw, and what was said on their music.

    It felt iconic to watch Biggie, Jay, DMX, 2Pac, Nas, Wu Tang, Outkast, Eminem etc.

    You'd talk between your friends about a certain artist making an appearance on MTV, BET, late night, or on the radio.

    Now, that s--- isn't a big deal. Back then? It was a huge deal. You'd have to wait for the show, from whatever outlet, and you actually cared about the questions and answers.

    I mean, I'm happy for the 2010's, it must be awesome to have your favorite artist release 2-4 projects in a year, and for them to be SO accessible...

    I'm not trying to discredit the 2000's and 2010's, but the era was totally different.

    It's like Jay Z said on Volume 3... About opening up a tape or a CD. "Yeah, I know you just ripped the packaging off your CD... If you like me you readin the credits right now"

    It's hard to explain to the younger generation. It was just such a fun time to be a hip hop fan. I'm sure you guys love that things are so accessible, which is cool.

    When Napster first surfaced, I thought it was the most amazing thing ever. I definitely loved downloading albums instead of buying them, and I continue to do that.

    However, looking back, I think that's why I loved the 90's so much. Everything seemed so much bigger, more iconic. You were more in awe of rap. At least I was.
