@@bleath2111 Could also look up Baltimore brothel blues. People been making music about sex and partying over 100 years. It's not the content in lyrics that a lot of people find wack. It's the music and effort that goes in that is so apparent with different forms of hiphop. I hear some where I can hear the artist pouring their soul into the music and others that sound like some talentless dumbass got really high and went into a studio with nothing but bs to say on the mic and some how gather an audience with a bland mediocre beat and nonsensical lyrics.
So I knew dude was bad when I saw his most recent video calling Kendrick’s new album “trash” the day after its release but he’s actually way worse. A person who puts Kanye, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne on a “worst rappers of all time”-list simply shouldn’t be taken seriously about anything regarding hip-hop ever again.
He changed his mind on that list later. Also what's wrong with thinking Kendrick's new album is trash 🚮. Music is subjective. Just because someone doesn't dickride Kendrick doesn't mean that they have bad taste in music.
@@joebidenjr5902 The problem wasn’t really him calling it trash. For me it was his embarrassingly poor reasoning for it being “trash”. It was just a bad take and as Duplee proves in this video, that dude is clearly no stranger for the absolute worst hip-hop takes
I completely agree with you, sure he has stated that he has changed his opinions on these rappers more positively 2 years after the video, but I still think that doesn't change the fact that he has these opinions to this day. But I am still going too be subscribed too him because I do still really like some of his video ideas and opinions, even though some of them are pretty flawed!🤣
The fact he talked about how new schools only talk about drugs, crime, cars, violence, sex, alcohol. Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia were rapping about Satan and drinking lean. DMX was on hella drugs and talking about violence, crime and partying in clubs. 2Pac loved rapping about weed and henessey. Eminem’s early content sparked big debates of misogyny and violence in hip-hop. NWA had guns in all their videos. Wu-Tang Clan loved to rap about money and capitalism and crime. 2 Live Crew’s music was considered too sexualised and obscene. DJ Quik said “if you don’t make dollaz you don’t make sense”. Lil Kim, Missy Elliott and Salt-n-Pepa were all very vocal about sex in their songs

@@mortezz1268 Digga so true, hab das Gefühl das gerade Eminem in Deutschland absolut vergöttert wird und so getan wird als wäre er der unangefochtene Goat und unerreichbar. Dabei hatte Eminem nh krasse Prime, 1-2 wirklich gute Alben danach, aber hat seit fast 10 Jahren kein gutes Album mehr released…..
@@timenderling939 wirklich schlimm, ich war vor kurzem auf ner Party wo einer behauptet hat Eminem ist der beste rapper jemals und ich hab dann angefangen mit ihm zu diskutieren und gesagt dass Eminem seit Jahren keine gute Musik mehr rausgebracht hat und dass er lange nicht so erfolgreich wäre wenn er nicht weiß wäre. Immer mehr Leute sind auf seine Seite gegangen und am Ende war ich der einzige der gegen ihn argumentiert hat gegen so 5 Leute die alle sehr wenig Hip Hop hören aber mir was davon erzählen wollen, dass Eminem der beste rapper jemals ist. Am gleichen Abend hat ein anderer gesagt, dass Logic der beste lyricist aller Zeiten ist.
I used to watch his videos thinking he's someone's like 60 year old uncle on facebook (which made the clownery a bit more endearing) the fact that he's in his 20s is insane
Wait what he’s in his 20s? Lmao I thought he was my age and at least in his 30s. With the way he talks he sounds like he’s got all this knowledge on the genre and the years to back it up. And I mean he does to a certain extent. More than a majority of the mouth breathers in his community at least, but I wouldn’t say he knows or understands the genre better than some people do.
@@YouGot2BeKitten I dont know hes a strange little man. I dont trust a guy who says Lil Wayne's the worst rapper of all time or who says YBN Nahmir's discography is stronger than JID's based on... math when he says hes a hip hop historian for sure though, putting aside the dogshit mentality of rejecting all contemporary rappers as bad musicians
This man said the new generation talks about women, jewelry, violence, and alcohol and then claims 2pac is one of his favorite artists like he didn’t also talk about the same shit 😭😭😭
Lmao almost every old-school rapper talked about those. And if you talk about pills, Eminem is the god of pill-popping so Idk what these stans mean by "bad influence of new rappers". They just need a strawman.
Also, he compared MM&TBS to All Eyez On Me saying "double album my ass, it's shorter than TPAB" and "2Pac made AEOM, 27 tracks, in 2 weeks, while Kendrick had 5 years". Like if All Eyez On Me was perfect and it didnt seem like the tracklist was composed in less than a month
@@cynicalip nah all eyez on me is an amazing album with only like 3 or 4 filler songs on it which is impressive considering there's 30 damn tracks on that record lmao
@@joemomma6317 no, It fucking isnt. It's a drag to get through, Pac didnt have the versatility to carry on a 27 tracks Biggie did it WAY better on Life After Death. And it had less tracks too Also, AEOM has the worst version of California Love for literally no reason
And he removed Ab-Soul from his worst rappers list. Y’all are going after him for outdated videos, it is the equivalent of trying to cancel someone for old tweets that they posted when they were younger and don’t even even stand by what they said.

@@bke8073 he removed Kanye from the worst rappers list and has him on his top 50 now! What part of that is hard to understand? I think you are just blindly hating on the guy.
@@bke8073 the only people being dumbasses are people like you, Duplee(only because of this video), and anyone who’s blindly hates HHU. You people definitely support cancel culture. Y’all are exactly the type of people that would get made fun of in Grand Theft Auto.
Duplee hit the nail on the head about the young old heads having an idealistic view of the past (how they imagine it) rather than how it actually was. My ex gf is an Eminem stan who’s convinced that he is the greatest rapper of all time and constantly says that she “prefers old school hip-hop”, yet she’s never even heard of Wu-Tang, Big L, Rakim or any of the old school legends - except for Nas, whom I literally introduced her to lol.
It's probably less that they prefer "old hip-hop over new hip-hop", and more that out of touch people just generally prefer things they recognize. But they were out of touch THEN too, so their scope is limited. So the format usually goes, "I don't like (insert new thing), I prefer (extremely popular thing from 10-15 years ago)." Art, music, movies, etc. These people are everywhere.
This is embarassing to say, but hip-hop universe was actually my introduction to rap music. When I saw his "mumble vs lyrical rappers" lists I formed my own bias against the " mumble rappers " without even listening to them. Since then ive come to appreciate all styles of hip hop, and I think his newer takes especially saying that kendrick lamars album is bad because it didnt have sales is ridiculous. So apparently drake stans are idiots for using his album sales to justify him as a goat, but hip hop universe is a genius for saying kendricks album sucks because it didnt sell that much? And yea he is 100% an old school rappers stan, he put eminems MTBMB as album of the year when it was released despite there being over 100 albums better than it that year.
Hhu didn’t say that kendricks album was wack because it didn’t have sales. He says it was wack because he flowed like a mumble rapper, the beats sucked, and the message sucked. All you kdot stans do is just move the goal posts because kendrick flopped
Honestly the same thing for me. When i was around 10 years old i really liked the rap god song, Then I saw a video of him listing the best eminem songs, then the best rap songs in general and so on. As much as I strongly disagree with his takes today, I have to thank him because I would've never gotten into hiphop if it wasnt for him.
@@kyloren9588 duuude same and the whole MGK beef I was on the edge of my seat lol im lowkey nostalgic now. Probably why i defend em more since he was such a big influence on me when i was younger
Thank u for bringing up young old heads. I was at a party and these dudes were bumping strictly 90s shit in the corner. We went over there and they were all decked out in hypebeast shit, we asked what they were playing and they all just looked at us and said "y'all dont know real music huh."
Man I was literally about to type “I’ve got German, Scandinavian, Russian, etc. ancestry in my background and this guy is _still_ the most aggressively white-“ *AND THEN “HE’S GERMAN” POPS UP. I AM* *_DEAD._*
What kinda "real rap fan" hates on Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q and YG????? These are guys that are the mirrors of the 90s style and could have a legit career in that era. 💀
I agree with the last point. Non americans who haven't witnessed hip hop and rap in general are more likely to have this kind of perspective or opinion. I'm saying this because I'm an Indian and I was introduced to hip hop through Eminem and Tupac. And when Eminem came out with Kamikaze, i also developed this mindset that new school rap is not "real rap". But thankfully after listening to a lot of new and old artists, I'm no longer like that. I think we should listen to whatever we want to listen to and let everyone else listen to what they want to listen to instead of giving out our opinion which obviously no one cares about. Anyways great video. A good end to a really good series. Kudos!
Hip hop has always been the cool genre bruh. Oldschool hip hip always used to be cool but those cancerous corny oldheads are giving oldschool hip hop such a bad name and make it look corny asf and it genuinely saddens me
I once had an argument with this guy about whether or not Uzi is a talented artist. He asked me to list some deep or clever bars and I listed about 15 and all of a sudden he turns around and says that all of them are about ice and girls so it rendered them as invalid even though only one of them actually did so (“tried to boost my confidence and froze my hand off” from the Lucid Dreams remix). He’s really fucking biased and I don’t believe he actually listens to the music he criticises in length. This man has clearly never listened to Die Lit or LIR2 or Barter 6 or DS2 or Drown In Designer because if he did he’d realise mumble rappers can be really fucking fire Also this mong put TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY as the 100th best rap album
@@cynicalip I can’t decide my favourite Carti project because they’re all good. For Uzi I’d recommend LUV vs the world and then LUV Is Rage 1 & 2. If you don’t like any of those projects then Uzis probably not for you but if you do then I’d highly recommend getting deeper into his music after that
Befo they had beef they were cool, made a couple songs together, even got a video of them freestylin together, so out of everythin, dude at least got somethin right 💀💀💀💀
I ruin him in every debate we have. He’s not an idiot on the genre but he thinks he knows more than he does and don’t even get me started on his community. Those mfs are stupid as hell. I’m so tired of debating what makes someone a great rapper and having these brainlets tell me Eazy E and Dr. Dre are the goats when they didn’t even write their own fucking rhymes.
If you seen his rapper bracket selections to decide the best rapper of all time you’ll get a brain tumour or something, he put random battle rappers beating people like Pusha T 😂
@@navstan3867 exactly. And almost all of them are from the 1980s and 1990s, most of which are pretty standard albums and one of them is Vanilla Ice. It’s in the same vein as putting Rappers Delight as the 11th best rap song ever even though if the Migos made that fucking song he’d hear A HIP A HIP A HIPPY A HIPPY HIP HIP HOP AND YOU DONT STOP NOW ROCK IT OUT TO THE BOOGITY BANG AND BOOGIE TO THE BOOGITY BEAT and immediately dismiss it as trash
@@navstan3867 he put Kanye as the 11th worst rapper even though College Dropout, MBDTF, KSG and Yeezus (even though I’m not a fan of Yeezus) are all things that exist. He eventually took it back but I can assume he took that back because he found out that College Dropout was made in 2004 and everyone knows that if you make an album before 2005 it’s automatically a good album
14:00 holy shit dude, PREACH. this is a huge problem even outside of hip hop, like this is the same shit that goes on in the minds of those "I'm only 12 years old and I listen to Guns n Roses" kids in RUclips comments. the more videos that are made on this topic, the better. hell, someone should do a fucking psychological breakdown on people with this mindset. it's actually kind of fascinating how much better they think they are for listening to old music.
@@imanolvides3185 yeah I had a Beatles phase when I was 14 and I got dangerously close to thinking I was better than everyone else. Glad that didn’t last long!!
you automatically think people that listen to older stuff think they are better than you that's your mental image of us but not necessarily true, i am relatively young (23) and i like the older stuff just because that's what clicked with me rakim, nas, biggie those type of cats, the new stuff sounds kinda shit to me, except some artists kendrick, cole, diggs to mention a few.. frankly i don't give a shit what people listen to.. but the problem is when I voice my opinions and say what I like and what I dislike i get bombarded with 'oldhead' and 'living in the past' comments, so both sides has their share of hypocrites
I remember seeing that video of his where he attacks Joey Badass for joking about being better than Pac. Or when Wyclef said Young Thug is the new Pac. That man was soooo much in his feelings, that shit was so bad, it was hilarious 🤣🤣
I think one of the best "real old-heads" is Dr. Dre. He said in an interview that he hates people who hate on the new generation, and they sound old as hell. And that while he personally doesnt listen to a lot of it, but understands why people do, and doesnt hate on it.
I’m actually a hip hop police officer and it’s a crime to impersonate a hip hop historian. I’m going to have to arrest him and send him to hip hop jail where he’ll get hip humped.
Purple hearts is one of my fav tracks off of mr morale and the big steppers. His critique was that ghostface killah "outrapped" kendrick on his own track. What kinda insecure ass, macho ass take is that? 😂
23:04 proves this 😂 imagine if metalheads acted like this "hrm achsually you see I measure the death growl category with this new formula I created, by measuring and combining 3 other categories, deepness - scratchiness - loudness..."
Trust me it's not just rap there's so many elitist In the music scene or just art in general yk there's so many people just listen or look at to classical art and dismiss anything that's not classical as just the dawn fall for the art world
Hip hop was not serious in the early stages and it became the art form of presenting opression.... Some will be sensitive about hip hop.... I prefer someone to learn Music in general before they talk about any genre, that makes a qualified opinion without bias or emotion.... This whole video is just an emotional guy responding to an emotional guy, there's a good reason why people take Fantano's opinion very high!!!
@@killerbug05 Metalhead ABSOLUTELY do that , they listen to some Djent wankeri and go "See, this song switched time signature 15 times per minute but you're probably to dumb to notice, i suggests you go back to your basic 4/4 indie bullshit" And then on the other side there's the Black Metal and Death Metal community who are like "This shit wasn't recorded on potatoes? In the trash it goes!"
I saw his video on kendrick lamars new album and he went on a stupid long rant about kendrick stans. He sounded sooo irritated and angry for some reason and you kinda get the idea of what kind of person he is. Not a very pleasant one.
Haven't finished the video yet, gotta go to bed it's almost sunrise but I gotta say, Duplee has had a crazy evolution in content. From Fantano compilations to entertaining, thoughtful, and straightforward video essays. I've only seen a handful of these but they're great. Keep it up!
My jaw DROPPED when ab-soul was on that worst rappers list because I guarantee he is more lyrically skilled and dense than ANY rapper hip hop universe listens to. Like obviously most of his entries on there are god awful but if LYRICS and BARS are ACTUALLY their main concern with music, then they would LOVE soul.
@skateo rdie he's kinda right tho. The average rapper back then wasn't trying to have an artistic evolution with every album back then. You had 1 unique style that you'd do and that was it. Nowadays theres much more demand to evolve as an artist rather than just doing the same thing over and over again
@@rakanuaki1812 there were plenty of shit rappers in the 90s, its survivorship bias. throughout of all of musics history the majority of aspiring or even signed artists are mid or shit, we only look back on and care about the good ones because thats who matters to us.
Hip hop historian then starts talking about how Hip Hop used to be educational. Puts every new mainstream rapper in the top 50 worst. The way this dude panders to the old heads is so brain damaged. It's like he looked up best rappers of all time on Google, clicked on an article written by an old white dude and ran with it.
"my content is as shitty as anybody's" INCORRECT. It only took my one video to subscribe to you, and now binging your channel. Your editing is fantastic (especially your more recent videos), your topics are grabbing. Your content is much better than anybody's
I hate The fact that hip hop universes comments are so supportive. Like nobody on that worst rappers ever video has even called out the fact he called modern day rappers F*gs. And some of them say they almost cried at that cringy Tupac X biggie crap.
Maybe they just find it funny. I personally just never cared and like some of his summaries. I just don't like any Eminem video he makes since he is a literal god to him.
@@ThePhreakass nah man people legit think he’s right about everything he says. They don’t find it funny they just like that it validates their opinions.
Hip-Hop Universe is some German dude, his first language isn't English and everything he knows about hip-hop Culture has came from a screen. Not that that's bad, but just bc people enjoy Hip-Hop doesn't mean their going to understand Hip-Hop Culture.
He's not only German but probably also Turkish. Pac is revered widely by people with migration history within hiphop as they are often discriminated against. Not only his strong focus of transporting values and his view of women gave a strong sign that he is a 'pious' try hard Muslim. He thinks he needs to keep Hiphop pure because he also obviously thinks it is bad for society as a whole and it is threat to his way of life. He is one of those people that are the least self aware because how many years of mental gymnastics do you exercise to ignore all the lyrics by old schoolers, that he himself adores, that promote violence, drug selling/use, misoginy and materialism. The counting of rhymes and such was the dead giveaway that he is from Germany because that annoying shit became a thing in the last decade by fans of battle rap tournaments. Most rappers they like make garbage rap that rhymes just to rhyme mostly without thinking much about flow, delivery, beats and ironically message (values). They are generally frowned upon by many here but they lack the awareness that music relies on much more than syllables. Summary: That guy is a bozo that lives in his own bubble he created, which he must not let burst.
Putting Tyler rocky and ye on a worst rappers list is crazy and I personally do not like lil Wayne but he’s definitely not one of the worst rappers ever
@@bretwojarski5842 its reasonable to dislike his music, but putting him in a worst rappers list would mean putting him by tom macdonald, dax, and hopsin, and even if you don't like tyler you have to admit that is miles better than people in that tier
Hip Hop Universe said hundred of times that his worst rappers of all time list is really outdated and he said that if he will make a new version of it it will be really different
The 90s is personally my favorite hip hop era but as a true hip hop I also love people like Future and Young Thug. A true hip hop head loves every generation of hip hop. There’s room for everything!
that clown is very educational and that's probably why he has almost 1.5 million subscribers compared to this channel, he doesn't make videos calling other channels out but actually posts videos about the history of hip hop.. even though I don't agree with him sometimes still more enjoyable than this crap defaming other people
So, just based off of the couple of artists he put on his lists.. It just looks like he has pretty much every rapper on there. Are we sure this Hip Hop Universe guy actually likes Hip Hip?
@@killerbug05 well you clearly a baseless claim. Making baseless claims is exactly what the type of people you falsely accused HHU of being would do. The irony at it’s finest. And baseless claims are also a racist and sexist trait.
It doesn't matter which album drops, cause if Eminem drops, it's AOTY (according to Hip-Hop Universe). He also called MR&TBS trash, cause he didn't like the sound of the album, but then, he hates on "mumble rap" even tho the only thing it does is sound good... What really pissed me off tho was his Astroworld tragedy post. He said R.I.P to the people who lost their lives (which is completely fine), but he had a picture in the background with Travis Scott and the lyrics : "it ain't no moshpit if it ain't no injuries". He can't miss a opportunity at taking shots at "mumble rappers". Completely tasteless... You defenitely nailed it with this video Duplee, especially witch chapter 2 and his complaining about violence
Cmon now...mumble rap doesn’t sound good. The beats are debatable, but the vocal performance? Hell no! Also, did he actually claim that mumble rap sounds good?
@@badmeetsevil6163 There's no "mumble rap" if you ask me. He just calls literally everyone that isn't lyrical nowadays a mumble rapper. Most of these so called mumble rappers don't even mumble... The vocal performance of many "mumble rappers" is great : just look at Travis Scott, Young Thug, Carti etc. It's all subjective tho...
@@cash5512 don’t think any of them sound good. Young Thug sounds like he has a seizure on the mic, and I don’t consider Travis Scott as a mumble rapper since he doesn’t “rap”, he “sings”. Even so, I’ve tried forcing myself to enjoy his music, and for the most part, I just can’t. All of his songs are completely drowned in autotune. I’m fine with autotune in small doses, but when every single thing is autotuned, it just sounds repetitive and boring to me.
Look, I watched HHU from 2019 or so, and, cringy list topic aside, I didnt think he was so bad. I mean, he said he actively despised everything Eminem dropped before Revival and after Encore, so he isnt completely blind. And then I watched the first 3 installment of the Old-School vs New-School series and the second Worst Rappers list and those videos truly gave me physical pain. The preachy shit he put Especially in the Worst Rapper video was terrible
I get that he prefers old school rap, which I personally do too, but shaming others and instantly saying everything new in rapping is bad and mumble crap is corny af, like I personally like a lot of new school rap songs, even tho I much prefer older rap, but I ain't shaming no one for liking the new stuff, cause it's way more diverse
"Old school"... He's heard a small sampling of major label rap within a decade of the entire spectrum. He doesn't even know what old school is, and which old school is dope. I do hate all of this nonsense he does, but for good reason. Nostalgia isn't really a factor when what you digg spans decades. They are caught up in some hypercontrarian elitist Dunning Kruger addled smug narcissism. I love all of these bad influences being prevalent in music, I just like them done correctly, with sick wordplay and devastating delivery. X-Raided 'Unforgiven', Gangsta Dre 'Here Comes The Night', Young Droop '1990-Hate', J-Mack 'Movin', Crime Boss 'Conflicts & Confusion', C-Bo 'Tales From The Crypt', Brotha Lynch 'Season Of Da Siccness', Sav Sicc & Bleezo 'Twin Evil', Killa Tay 'Snake Eyes', Do Or Die 'Headz Or Talez', Woodie 'Demons N My Sleep', Lyrikal Warfare 'STL's Underground Kings' - All of these albums are pure treasure, and the music is timeless. Because something is new doesn't mean it's going to be good or better than something that's new to you because you haven't heard it yet. And vice versa, because something is new doesn't mean it's bad. Plenty of OGs continue to make new music that destroys, and some newer cats pop up and actually tear it up, too. I will admit, I am not really excited or confident about checking out brand new rappers. But I know multiple generations of folks love every album I mentioned. There are a lot of fads in rap, and styles that fizzle out. I have always hunted for stuff that never gets old. Nobody has a right to whine and cry about what is missing in rap or what is too prevalent, or saying definitively who is the flat out best, whether anybody's lyrically savvy these days or not, when they haven't even heard anything but what's fallen into their laps, or what's on the charts, or got/is getting major promo and expensive music videos... You're judging from an extremely small pool, and if you want to compare all of the artists within that shallow pool, okay, but that is not even close to enough of a sample size to say anything definitively about rap or hip hop and not be full of shi+! I always felt like, if you REALLY love this stuff, you'd be compelled to dig and drag the depths, through decades of countless artists and albums, to find the treasure. This cornball new old head poser doesn't care about rap at all, to be crying about nobody making anything he'd like, or there being a limited amount, or nobody likes what he does... Man, his tastes are completely generic, and he isn't even trying. If you loved rap, you'd be excited to discover some gems, and be down to dig even a centimeter to find stuff there is no shortage of
I’ve been subscribed to his channel since 2016. He used to upload unreleased versions and demos and leaks of old 2Pac and Dr. Dre songs, and other old school songs. Then he started making beef analysis videos and then lists and evolutions. What his channel is like now came around 2018-ish. You can see how he started tolerating new school rappers more and more but you can kind of tell he only did that to appeal to the masses. He’s never really been about new school hip hop. Not even the Kendrick’s and Cole’s
bro this series got me dying lmaooo. ngl, i was in my junior year when kamikaze dropped and i was a hugeeee stan. i still loved lil uzi and many other new artists but i used to watch channels like no life shaq just to circle jerk my wannabe old head opinions and whatnot. its so cringe its not even funny. but even back then, i never understood this whole "using a taste in music to feel surperior" to someone kinda thing. regardless i was watching this without being logged in on a friends computer but holy shit man this was so funny i had to log in.... this is absolutely absurd haha you earned a sub tho keep the great content comin
In 2014 there was a huge wave of German YT Channels analyzing Rap Songs with score metrics for each category. There were many online video rap battles were people created their own music videos and rap disses against eachother (Rappersin, Juliensblog...). Being able to perfom well in all certain "metrics" was generally valued more than making a good song and helped you to get favored by judges + earn potential prize money. This created an online culture where people were obsessed with old school Hip Hop + analyzing rap by "metrics". While most people went on to listen to US Rap and got closer to the source of the culture, this dude definitly stayed in that old mentatlity.
It pains me to say I had this hating mumble rap phase. But then I grew out of it. This guy didn't. I started listening to early Tyler music, then Earl, kendrick, Kanye and now I have a pretty huge palette. Thank god, I made those decisions.

So I knew dude was bad when I saw his most recent video calling Kendrick’s new album “trash” the day after its release but he’s actually way worse. A person who puts Kanye, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q, Lil Wayne on a “worst rappers of all time”-list simply shouldn’t be taken seriously about anything regarding hip-hop ever again.
He changed his mind on that list later.
Also what's wrong with thinking Kendrick's new album is trash 🚮. Music is subjective. Just because someone doesn't dickride Kendrick doesn't mean that they have bad taste in music.
@@joebidenjr5902
The problem wasn’t really him calling it trash. For me it was his embarrassingly poor reasoning for it being “trash”. It was just a bad take and as Duplee proves in this video, that dude is clearly no stranger for the absolute worst hip-hop takes
I completely agree with you, sure he has stated that he has changed his opinions on these rappers more positively 2 years after the video, but I still think that doesn't change the fact that he has these opinions to this day. But I am still going too be subscribed too him because I do still really like some of his video ideas and opinions, even though some of them are pretty flawed!🤣

@@starmanda88
Me too bro. My point being, Eminem stans aren’t really hip-hop fans. They’re just Eminem stans.
It's probably less that they prefer "old hip-hop over new hip-hop", and more that out of touch people just generally prefer things they recognize. But they were out of touch THEN too, so their scope is limited. So the format usually goes, "I don't like (insert new thing), I prefer (extremely popular thing from 10-15 years ago)."
Art, music, movies, etc. These people are everywhere.
He is the greatest rapper of all time.
@@cedricsankara9809 theres a lot of people that only listen to one rapper like Eminem or Logic, I find it really odd.
This is embarassing to say, but hip-hop universe was actually my introduction to rap music. When I saw his "mumble vs lyrical rappers" lists I formed my own bias against the " mumble rappers " without even listening to them.
Since then ive come to appreciate all styles of hip hop, and I think his newer takes especially saying that kendrick lamars album is bad because it didnt have sales is ridiculous. So apparently drake stans are idiots for using his album sales to justify him as a goat, but hip hop universe is a genius for saying kendricks album sucks because it didnt sell that much?
And yea he is 100% an old school rappers stan, he put eminems MTBMB as album of the year when it was released despite there being over 100 albums better than it that year.
Hhu didn’t say that kendricks album was wack because it didn’t have sales. He says it was wack because he flowed like a mumble rapper, the beats sucked, and the message sucked. All you kdot stans do is just move the goal posts because kendrick flopped
Honestly the same thing for me. When i was around 10 years old i really liked the rap god song, Then I saw a video of him listing the best eminem songs, then the best rap songs in general and so on. As much as I strongly disagree with his takes today, I have to thank him because I would've never gotten into hiphop if it wasnt for him.

I agree with the last point. Non americans who haven't witnessed hip hop and rap in general are more likely to have this kind of perspective or opinion. I'm saying this because I'm an Indian and I was introduced to hip hop through Eminem and Tupac. And when Eminem came out with Kamikaze, i also developed this mindset that new school rap is not "real rap".
But thankfully after listening to a lot of new and old artists, I'm no longer like that. I think we should listen to whatever we want to listen to and let everyone else listen to what they want to listen to instead of giving out our opinion which obviously no one cares about.
Anyways great video. A good end to a really good series. Kudos!

Not only his strong focus of transporting values and his view of women gave a strong sign that he is a 'pious' try hard Muslim. He thinks he needs to keep Hiphop pure because he also obviously thinks it is bad for society as a whole and it is threat to his way of life. He is one of those people that are the least self aware because how many years of mental gymnastics do you exercise to ignore all the lyrics by old schoolers, that he himself adores, that promote violence, drug selling/use, misoginy and materialism. The counting of rhymes and such was the dead giveaway that he is from Germany because that annoying shit became a thing in the last decade by fans of battle rap tournaments. Most rappers they like make garbage rap that rhymes just to rhyme mostly without thinking much about flow, delivery, beats and ironically message (values). They are generally frowned upon by many here but they lack the awareness that music relies on much more than syllables.

@@cash5512 don’t think any of them sound good. Young Thug sounds like he has a seizure on the mic, and I don’t consider Travis Scott as a mumble rapper since he doesn’t “rap”, he “sings”. Even so, I’ve tried forcing myself to enjoy his music, and for the most part, I just can’t. All of his songs are completely drowned in autotune. I’m fine with autotune in small doses, but when every single thing is autotuned, it just sounds repetitive and boring to me.
Travis Scott is not a mumble rapper
@@Darkstar_Dayne I agree, I see him as an autotune singer in the same vein as T-Pain
The gobbling is insane
Look, I watched HHU from 2019 or so, and, cringy list topic aside, I didnt think he was so bad. I mean, he said he actively despised everything Eminem dropped before Revival and after Encore, so he isnt completely blind.
And then I watched the first 3 installment of the Old-School vs New-School series and the second Worst Rappers list and those videos truly gave me physical pain. The preachy shit he put Especially in the Worst Rapper video was terrible
Bruh "Think of the kids" meanwhile Biggie was rapping about robbing gas stations and shooting mfs, and had an entire song about how to deal crack.
HHU acts like there wasnt abominably bad rap music in the 80s and 90s
I get that he prefers old school rap, which I personally do too, but shaming others and instantly saying everything new in rapping is bad and mumble crap is corny af, like I personally like a lot of new school rap songs, even tho I much prefer older rap, but I ain't shaming no one for liking the new stuff, cause it's way more diverse
@hezmo940 More diverse? Hahahahahahahahahahaha
Only if it's outside the mainstream!
"Old school"... He's heard a small sampling of major label rap within a decade of the entire spectrum. He doesn't even know what old school is, and which old school is dope. I do hate all of this nonsense he does, but for good reason. Nostalgia isn't really a factor when what you digg spans decades. They are caught up in some hypercontrarian elitist Dunning Kruger addled smug narcissism. I love all of these bad influences being prevalent in music, I just like them done correctly, with sick wordplay and devastating delivery. X-Raided 'Unforgiven', Gangsta Dre 'Here Comes The Night', Young Droop '1990-Hate', J-Mack 'Movin', Crime Boss 'Conflicts & Confusion', C-Bo 'Tales From The Crypt', Brotha Lynch 'Season Of Da Siccness', Sav Sicc & Bleezo 'Twin Evil', Killa Tay 'Snake Eyes', Do Or Die 'Headz Or Talez', Woodie 'Demons N My Sleep', Lyrikal Warfare 'STL's Underground Kings' - All of these albums are pure treasure, and the music is timeless. Because something is new doesn't mean it's going to be good or better than something that's new to you because you haven't heard it yet. And vice versa, because something is new doesn't mean it's bad. Plenty of OGs continue to make new music that destroys, and some newer cats pop up and actually tear it up, too. I will admit, I am not really excited or confident about checking out brand new rappers. But I know multiple generations of folks love every album I mentioned. There are a lot of fads in rap, and styles that fizzle out. I have always hunted for stuff that never gets old. Nobody has a right to whine and cry about what is missing in rap or what is too prevalent, or saying definitively who is the flat out best, whether anybody's lyrically savvy these days or not, when they haven't even heard anything but what's fallen into their laps, or what's on the charts, or got/is getting major promo and expensive music videos... You're judging from an extremely small pool, and if you want to compare all of the artists within that shallow pool, okay, but that is not even close to enough of a sample size to say anything definitively about rap or hip hop and not be full of shi+! I always felt like, if you REALLY love this stuff, you'd be compelled to dig and drag the depths, through decades of countless artists and albums, to find the treasure. This cornball new old head poser doesn't care about rap at all, to be crying about nobody making anything he'd like, or there being a limited amount, or nobody likes what he does... Man, his tastes are completely generic, and he isn't even trying. If you loved rap, you'd be excited to discover some gems, and be down to dig even a centimeter to find stuff there is no shortage of
"Of course he's German" 😂😂😂😂
You know, at first I was like " ha ha this is funny" until 5:22 and I was " okay... WTF"
Rap commentary beef. Love it
"We Died for You, We Gave You Everything" is the funniest shit I seen in a hot min.
I’ve been subscribed to his channel since 2016. He used to upload unreleased versions and demos and leaks of old 2Pac and Dr. Dre songs, and other old school songs. Then he started making beef analysis videos and then lists and evolutions. What his channel is like now came around 2018-ish. You can see how he started tolerating new school rappers more and more but you can kind of tell he only did that to appeal to the masses. He’s never really been about new school hip hop. Not even the Kendrick’s and Cole’s
He genuinely has learning difficulties, and thats putting it lightly
As a german this guy is not representative of our taste lmao
He's not German nor is he from Germany

bro this series got me dying lmaooo. ngl, i was in my junior year when kamikaze dropped and i was a hugeeee stan. i still loved lil uzi and many other new artists but i used to watch channels like no life shaq just to circle jerk my wannabe old head opinions and whatnot. its so cringe its not even funny. but even back then, i never understood this whole "using a taste in music to feel surperior" to someone kinda thing.
regardless i was watching this without being logged in on a friends computer but holy shit man this was so funny i had to log in.... this is absolutely absurd haha you earned a sub tho keep the great content comin
In 2014 there was a huge wave of German YT Channels analyzing Rap Songs with score metrics for each category. There were many online video rap battles were people created their own music videos and rap disses against eachother (Rappersin, Juliensblog...).
Being able to perfom well in all certain "metrics" was generally valued more than making a good song and helped you to get favored by judges + earn potential prize money. This created an online culture where people were obsessed with old school Hip Hop + analyzing rap by "metrics".
While most people went on to listen to US Rap and got closer to the source of the culture, this dude definitly stayed in that old mentatlity.
maaaan, finally someone speaks shit on that channel out loud
18:22 "Tell me you're sexist, without saying you're sexist." moment ngl.
Great video man
Nah I gotta see this dudes playlist
Bro new school rap lyrics are too explicit?? Listen to dead wrong💀
Fucking any Lil Kim song😂
It pains me to say I had this hating mumble rap phase. But then I grew out of it. This guy didn't. I started listening to early Tyler music, then Earl, kendrick, Kanye and now I have a pretty huge palette. Thank god, I made those decisions.
