I feel like we are gonna have a golden age. It’s either gonna be a mix of lyrical and experimental rappers, or the traditional lyrical sound is gonna combine with the opium sound adopting its production as well as flows.
I think too many people want too many different things for their to ever really be a golden Era ever again. But I also feel like that's why you can't really say if it has peaked or not, just that you don't vibe.
there are lots of different types of hip hop now it should be easy to find what you want. I would say we are in the golden era in fact I think we are leaving it, and people will only appreciate if when it is gone
HipHop is constantly evolving and is as good as it's ever been. There are so many amazing MCs out giving 110%. If you'd rather focus on the handful of artists you don't like instead of just finding and supporting what you like, that's on you.
You’re absolutely right.💯 Hip hop is constantly evolving, and there’s always incredible talent out there pushing boundaries. It’s all about tapping into the artists and styles that resonate with you. Everyone’s got their own taste, but supporting the culture as a whole is key.
Check out LaRussell from Vallejo California. Dude is making revolutionary moves in the indie rap scene, straight up throwing concerts in ppl's backyards all over the western side of the country. He's gotten co signs from vets in the game and is well connected in the industry. Done collabs with a bunch of indie artist and legends as well like Too Short, E40, and Timbaland.
The Sugarhill Gang is an American hip hop group formed in Englewood, New Jersey in 1979. Their hit "Rapper's Delight", released the same year they were formed, was the first rap single to become a top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, reaching a peak position of number 36 on January 12, 1980. This was the trio's only U.S. hit, though they would have further success in Europe until the mid-1980s. The trio reformed in 1994 and embarked on a world tour in 2016.
I think the 2010s was out last Golden Age, however you never know when and where the next big thing will come from, I expect it anytime this decade to blindside us all
It peaked in the 90s (between The Low End Theory in 1991 and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 98). But its greatest year was 88 with Eric B & Rakim's Follow The Leader and Slick Rick's The Great Adventures of... and 94 with illmatic and The Sun Rises In The East. In my opinion 🤷♂️
Those years were stacked with creativity, but hip hop’s ability to keep evolving is what makes it timeless. Every era has its gems, and that’s what keeps the culture alive.💯🫡
@@hiphopbakery Of course, there's gems in every era for sure. But I think the genre reached its cultural and aesthetic pinnacle in those years. It happens with every genre of every artform. I'd argue that Jazz's peak was in the late 50s, but there were still gems in the years that followed, and it was still evolving. But I don't necessarily think that what it evolved into captured the cultural sweet spot and soul of the period between Swing and Hardbop (also known as Modern Jazz). Similarly, the Boom Bap era, married the ideals of Hiphop at its 'purest' and highest aesthetic level. I think about a story that Eric B told, about him and Rakim hearing what a teenage Nas was working on with Large P, and Rakim telling Eric that they need to step it up, as this youngster is serious. The outcome was the album, Let The Rhythm Hit Em. A 17 year old Nas inspired Rakim to stay on his grind with his craft and push his pen, to keep elevating. That's the golden era. It should also be noted that Rakim's approach to rapping was inspired by a live performance of a rendition of My Favorite Things by John Coltrane's quartet, which his brother hipped him to. That's not talked about and explored in depth, in Hiphop circles. Arguably the greatest emcee's rap style was inspired by a 1960s performance by one of Jazz's greatest and most important figures. And let's also remember that Miles Davis sought out the Boom Bap production of Easy Mo Be, after hearing a track on Words From The Genius by GZA.
I think it can come but it’s gotta get support to last.. I personally am trying to get something like this started now.. I learned how to do everything from write songs, make beats, shoot videos all self taught.. It’s a process but if people keep allowing the lables get the most money they try to ignore us still..
People just wanna be pessimistic about Hip-Hop. Niggas been screaming about it being dead or dying for almost 30 years now. The truth of the matter is, the industry is dead but Hip-Hop, if you're not too lazy enough to actually look around has as much to offer now as it ever has, for the most part, they just aren't huge acts because of the industry and because many of them have chosen a more DIY or DIY-adjacent approach. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug
Starting off with Little Brother made me subscribe. But Thing is people don’t know where to look or overlook the good shit. That or they scared of new sounds or ideas. Made a mf listen to Navy Blue’s Top Shelf Off Top freestyle (please listen if you haven’t) and they were completely was blown away that hip hop is still well and alive. Just depends on where on how hard you search and the sound u like.
If enough people will go back and start purchasing albums they didn't have from the Golden Era that are still available on Amazon, we can recreate it, but a lot of people don't listen to old stuff. #cdshawn
Great Video. I will say I feel the Golden Era feels like has been from like 2018 til now. So many underground acts that learned from the 90s have been pushing hip-hop forward God Fahim, Mach Hommy (Dump Collective) Conway (Drumworks) Benny Butcher (Black Suprano Fam) 38Spesh & Che Noir (Trust Gang) Westside Gunn (Griselda), Earl or Mavi (Bask or Avant-Hop) Roc Marci & Hus KingPin (WaveLords) Mickey Diamond & Snotty (Umbrella Collective) Rigz & Mooch (Da Cloth). Also & Flee Lord, ETO. I legit think there are like 100+ dope artists currently. Like there are too many to list
@@hiphopbakery Lol. Most of my day is spent listening to underground hip-hop. I could make a giant list of people (if you like). There have never been as many talented artists releasing music all at once (in my opnion)
Nah. Most Rappers today Have No Strong Aura. To have a Next Golden Era u Rappers to have have Both Top Tier skills and a Strong Aura/Cool Factor to them
We've actually been in a second golden age for awhile now... and I say that as an old head (42) who grew up on HipHop from '89 thru the '90s and then thought most everything in the 2000s was trash. Artists from my generation who grew up on the classics, and many of those artists we grew up on, have made HipHop a grown man's game. All the best artists are over 30 or 35 yrs old Just don't listen to the radio! Almost all the good stuff is underground. Griselda, Black Hippy, Armand Hammer & billy woods and Elucid solo, Mach-Hommy, YOD, Fahim, Pusha-T, Black Thought, Nas, 38 Spesh, Ransom, JID, Common, Vince Staples... and on and on.
There will be another golden era or prescious metal era. Talent will be showcased as music reflects economic & political issues. The rise of independence will emerge as new artist break free from the system of control of sound, lyrics, distribution, event/venue and marketing. Today's younger generation (teens) can do all areas of development on their own, and that will influence the generations before & after.
💯The next era could bring a whole new wave of creativity as artists break free from traditional constraints. It’s only a matter of time before that raw talent and hunger shine through, especially as music continues to reflect the world around us. The future is looking promising!
There’s a shift and a new golden era is around the corner… Remember a GENERATION of rappers died over the last decade (Pop Smoke, Juice, Mac, Speaker Knockerz, XXX, Peep etc etc). That’s who was supposed to be next. Now we have a new class of MC’s coming in, some older and some younger. Some men and some women. It’ll be different than any era prior with shades of familiarity.
That’s a powerful perspective. Losing those artists left a huge void, but it’s interesting to see how the new generation is stepping up. It feels like we’re entering a time where diversity in styles and voices is leading the way, men, women, older, younger, everyone’s carving out their own lane. The blend of new energy with respect for the past could definitely create something special, maybe even a new golden era like you said. Hip hop’s constantly evolving, and it’s exciting to see where it goes next!
@@hiphopbakery it’s hard to kill something that is becoming the common denominator in every bit of popular music from classical to country. A genre that cannot spread itself to thin no matter what due to its origin being sampled/borrowed music. If it stay authentic and in the hands of those that will empower its potential, it’ll remain. Long Live.
With these new generation, the sound is there , but is the message. People trippin' on Kendrick making diss tracks on songs , that don't give off party vibe... Sametime if you was to put a message in a song that does have a vibe to it, where you can dance or groove. Will, they catch the message, or just be deaf to the kick, not even the stare no more. It's seem like it all about the kick, and not even the rawness of band , originally from the essences of military , second line & carnival. It's more, from electronic music. Not knocking the electro wave. I'm kid born in the heart of it. Still, there was #soul and a familiar #rhythm Hip Hop didn't created chit. But we did re-invite everything. What made the music great, is being able to re create what you liked, or heard, in a way you like, where that era can understand, but still leave the essence , as artifacts, so the generations coming up, can find the roots which helps the music you create be timeless and classic. Gotta be a STUDENT FIRST... Everybody wanna be the professor. Forgetting they were once students too.
Clive Campbell (born April 16, 1955), better known by his stage name DJ Kool Herc, is a Jamaican American DJ who is credited with being one of the founders of hip hop music in the Bronx, New York City, in 1973. Nicknamed the Father of Hip-Hop, Campbell began playing hard funk records of the sort typified by James Brown. Campbell began to isolate the instrumental portion of the record which emphasized the drum beat-the "break"-and switch from one break to another. Using the same two-turntable set-up of disco DJs, he used two copies of the same record to elongate the break. This breakbeat DJing, using funky drum solos, formed the basis of hip hop music. Campbell's announcements and exhortations to dancers helped lead to the syncopated, rhythmically spoken accompaniment now known as rapping. He called the dancers "break-boys" and "break-girls", or simply b-boys and b-girls, terms that continue to be used fifty years later in the sport of breaking. Campbell's DJ style was quickly taken up by figures such as Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash. Unlike them, he never made the move into commercially recorded hip hop in its earliest years. On November 3, 2023, Campbell was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in the Musical Influence Award category.
@@hiphopbakery This from the horses mouth. What's crazy my cuzin, may his soul rest in peace. Lived literally across the street , from the place he refers to as the The Plaza Tunnel. I still walk passed it, when i see my ex. ruclips.net/video/YBFcSYn78oI/видео.htmlsi=xzZnwjKpLRGehU0r
All music is done whenever everyone else understands that there is sonically no where else music can go... Until there are no longer 12 keys to arrange from or another way to make music is invented outside of this older method than all music is finished... Facts... Basically all the best midi is already used. Thats the reason music is nothing but annoying noise in the present...
I often think we've already experienced the best it can ever be in most genres of music and film. I don't expect something or someone greater than the magnitude of a Prince, MJ, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Aretha, Miles Davis, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimi Hendrix, Sarah Vaughan, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Brian Wilson to come along and profoundly impact popular culture. As far as bands go, Radiohead was the last one that expanded the possiblities of where music could go. If there is a talent on the scale of a Jeff Buckley, I haven’t seen or heard it (with the exception of Jacob Collier). In Blues, there is an incredible artist called Kingfish, and he is just about as good as it gets but his music isn't anything I haven't heard by past Blues guitar legends. In Hiphop we've seen the best already.
@@hiphopbakery from 92 - 2012. That was the era. I dont think there will be another (Golden era). To me, it sounds like, the last 15 years, is just repeating what was done in the Era, stickin to the scripts. What is hip hop today? Fashion, money, cars, gays.. Everybody is a Artist, even tho, they cant paint,draw,sing or create anything. Why is looks more importent then lyrics?. And what about sound? Hip hop had a unique sound, today it’s fused with whatever works. As a BIG fan of rap/hip hop, i dont like it.
@@hiphopbakery 💯💯 my music is on all streaming platforms under “Jus NBL” , 5 projects that goes in different directions and a couple of non album singles, I’m dropping new music very soon
I just feel like there’s only so much that we can talk about the Ghetto rags to riches experience🤷🏿♂️ Sonically: We are in the Modern Age. Lyrically: Pop Rappers don’t care.
@@ArKaneAcrumProductions who you got.... And what I meant specifically was that hip hop got compromised once major labels realized they could pimp it. The days of full creativity were over by 96.....no more sampling any and everything you wanted...no more saying whatever you wanted now that white folks listening and buying....no more being original since making money became the focus and not being dope. And I definitely meant 30 years ago....not 20
@@deonlepharaoh we are having a golden age right now, actually. We got albums from smino, JID, denzel curry, saba, isaiah rashad in the past 2-3 years, the underground right now has artists like Prettifun, Dani Kiyoko, Che, xaviersobased, nino paid, kp skywalka, boldy james + more that are all making music that ppl love and/or pushes boundaries
@@ArKaneAcrumProductions I'm aware of most of these and listen to... haven't been into mainstream since the internet entered my daily life. Not saying there aren't any great artists today but to me, hip hop died the day the split between mainstream and underground occured. It was golden when they were all united before there was a difference between the two.
I get where you’re coming from, but I think there’s a lot of talent in the game right now, just in different lanes. Artists are blending genres, experimenting with sounds, and pushing lyrical boundaries in ways we haven’t seen before. It might not be as obvious or mainstream, but there’s a whole wave of innovative artists keeping the culture alive. You just gotta dig a little deeper sometimes.
@hiphopbakery if there is the public won't champion them the labels sure won't. Tue culture is not involved in the music now so that is why we will see the same things over and over again.
Maybe its my age but the golden era to me is the 90s and maybe early 00s. There has been good hip hop since the golden age but with this age of garbage auto tune and fake gangsters with tattoos from head to toe who used to be strippers and prison wardens lol and "rappers" with rainbow coloured hair looking like clowns, skinny jeans and mumble rappers etc it has put a massive stain on the whole hip hop world. So this downfall to me has been happening since around 2005 around that time and just been getting progressively worse since. Just not good rapping, commercialised cheap trash, trash beats the works but yet they're hits smh. Its a shame but thats all part of the big plan to seduce young generations to like dumbed down garbage, easy music so the music execs can make easy money. Good news is, good hip hop still exists the likes of Lupe Fiasco who's been around for a while now but he helps keep it alive, J cole, Kendrick Lamar, Ab Soul to name a few. Then you got rappers from the golden age the 90s like Nas who's still going strong after all these years top 5 dead or alive, speaking of which you got the Lox still here and keeping it alive and more old rappers keeping it alive but they're not going to be around forever.
I feel you, the 90s and early 00s were definitely special, and it’s true that a lot of mainstream hip hop today feels way different. But like you said, artists like Lupe, Kendrick, and Cole are keeping the torch lit with that real substance. Speaking of Lupe, I just dropped a new video on his impact and the new album Samurai. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, check it out when you get a chance!
@@hiphopbakery Yes bro! Only listened through it once recently but love it, need to listen to it more, solid album. Been listening more to his last album before it, drill music in Zion, amazing top notch stuff and Samurai sounds abit similar. Samurai kind of revisits food and liquor abit to me when I heard it.
Rap has been around for 50 years! its time for something Different!. What! people are going to be still Rapping 10 years from now?. I wish it would End!.
@hiphopbakery It set zero trends and they have to manipulate numbers just to make people believe it's popular. Everyone sounds exactly the same coming put the south. Only people that were lyrical were goodie mobb, scarface, mjg & 8ball, ugk & a few more. Raps on deaths bed because of south music. No disrespect but the southern music genre needs to go away and it will not be remembered when it fades away.

True Hip Hop is like jazz, it might never get the credit for changing music, but without, we stuck.

@@hiphopbakery This from the horses mouth. What's crazy my cuzin, may his soul rest in peace. Lived literally across the street , from the place he refers to as the The Plaza Tunnel. I still walk passed it, when i see my ex. ruclips.net/video/YBFcSYn78oI/видео.htmlsi=xzZnwjKpLRGehU0r
I think 2010s was the last golden era and it ended around 2015
Specifically 2012 - 2014
@@MADSCIENTISTGONESANE6166 2011 -15 bruh you gotta go look up those albums that drop within that time frame
Shi say as soon as that "Gucci gang" shi dropped it definitely changed after that
Hip Hop Madness intern must’ve put in their 2 weeks notice lol

All music is done whenever everyone else understands that there is sonically no where else music can go... Until there are no longer 12 keys to arrange from or another way to make music is invented outside of this older method than all music is finished... Facts... Basically all the best midi is already used. Thats the reason music is nothing but annoying noise in the present...

I often think we've already experienced the best it can ever be in most genres of music and film. I don't expect something or someone greater than the magnitude of a Prince, MJ, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Aretha, Miles Davis, Whitney Houston, James Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Jimi Hendrix, Sarah Vaughan, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Brian Wilson to come along and profoundly impact popular culture. As far as bands go, Radiohead was the last one that expanded the possiblities of where music could go. If there is a talent on the scale of a Jeff Buckley, I haven’t seen or heard it (with the exception of Jacob Collier). In Blues, there is an incredible artist called Kingfish, and he is just about as good as it gets but his music isn't anything I haven't heard by past Blues guitar legends. In Hiphop we've seen the best already.
No, there was one Golden era, the stuff today is trash
I dont think everything was trash
Like some of albums in todays is reallly good
Check out THE MYOM FAMILY
What era is that in your opinion?
To everything generation music differs and we think each other's stuff is trash
@@hiphopbakery from 92 - 2012.
That was the era. I dont think there will be another (Golden era).
To me, it sounds like, the last 15 years, is just repeating what was done in the Era, stickin to the scripts.
What is hip hop today?
Fashion, money, cars, gays..
Everybody is a Artist, even tho, they cant paint,draw,sing or create anything.
Why is looks more importent then lyrics?.
And what about sound? Hip hop had a unique sound, today it’s fused with whatever works.
As a BIG fan of rap/hip hop, i dont like it.
Where could this golden era be coming from?
People keep forgetting the "golden age" of today are mostly dead or locked up.
Praying for peace🙏🏾
It’s peaked … and has honestly gotten repetitive.. last really good year for hip hop was 2015/16
Are you just considering mainstream? No classic projects since then?
Yep
Probably another golden era because imma be one of the artists that’s dropping dope music
Say dat!!! 💯. I hope so bro, I’d be buying tickets🫡
@@hiphopbakery 💯💯 my music is on all streaming platforms under “Jus NBL” , 5 projects that goes in different directions and a couple of non album singles, I’m dropping new music very soon
Nas da Golden Child
No argument 💯
Peaked in the 90s then went on a decline ever since. Don't kid yourself 😂
The peak was the 90s
💯
I just feel like there’s only so much that we can talk about the Ghetto rags to riches experience🤷🏿♂️
Sonically: We are in the Modern Age.
Lyrically: Pop Rappers don’t care.
Good point💯
Hip Hop is dead today. We're in the p$%y era rap now.
The peak was over 20 years ago...along with the golden era....next question
I can put u on game rite now og!!!
@@ArKaneAcrumProductions who you got....
And what I meant specifically was that hip hop got compromised once major labels realized they could pimp it. The days of full creativity were over by 96.....no more sampling any and everything you wanted...no more saying whatever you wanted now that white folks listening and buying....no more being original since making money became the focus and not being dope.
And I definitely meant 30 years ago....not 20
@@deonlepharaoh we are having a golden age right now, actually. We got albums from smino, JID, denzel curry, saba, isaiah rashad in the past 2-3 years, the underground right now has artists like Prettifun, Dani Kiyoko, Che, xaviersobased, nino paid, kp skywalka, boldy james + more that are all making music that ppl love and/or pushes boundaries
@@deonlepharaoh trust me, it's a whole new world out there. Mainstream I would say is lacking, but the underground is as healthy as ever
@@ArKaneAcrumProductions I'm aware of most of these and listen to... haven't been into mainstream since the internet entered my daily life. Not saying there aren't any great artists today but to me, hip hop died the day the split between mainstream and underground occured. It was golden when they were all united before there was a difference between the two.
What do u see that is making u think that we are approaching another golden era. U crazy. Nit enough artists that are talented
I get where you’re coming from, but I think there’s a lot of talent in the game right now, just in different lanes. Artists are blending genres, experimenting with sounds, and pushing lyrical boundaries in ways we haven’t seen before. It might not be as obvious or mainstream, but there’s a whole wave of innovative artists keeping the culture alive. You just gotta dig a little deeper sometimes.
@hiphopbakery if there is the public won't champion them the labels sure won't. Tue culture is not involved in the music now so that is why we will see the same things over and over again.
Maybe its my age but the golden era to me is the 90s and maybe early 00s.
There has been good hip hop since the golden age but with this age of garbage auto tune and fake gangsters with tattoos from head to toe who used to be strippers and prison wardens lol and "rappers" with rainbow coloured hair looking like clowns, skinny jeans and mumble rappers etc it has put a massive stain on the whole hip hop world. So this downfall to me has been happening since around 2005 around that time and just been getting progressively worse since. Just not good rapping, commercialised cheap trash, trash beats the works but yet they're hits smh. Its a shame but thats all part of the big plan to seduce young generations to like dumbed down garbage, easy music so the music execs can make easy money.
Good news is, good hip hop still exists the likes of Lupe Fiasco who's been around for a while now but he helps keep it alive, J cole, Kendrick Lamar, Ab Soul to name a few. Then you got rappers from the golden age the 90s like Nas who's still going strong after all these years top 5 dead or alive, speaking of which you got the Lox still here and keeping it alive and more old rappers keeping it alive but they're not going to be around forever.
I feel you, the 90s and early 00s were definitely special, and it’s true that a lot of mainstream hip hop today feels way different. But like you said, artists like Lupe, Kendrick, and Cole are keeping the torch lit with that real substance. Speaking of Lupe, I just dropped a new video on his impact and the new album Samurai. Would love to hear your thoughts on it, check it out when you get a chance!
@@hiphopbakery
Yes bro! Only listened through it once recently but love it, need to listen to it more, solid album. Been listening more to his last album before it, drill music in Zion, amazing top notch stuff and Samurai sounds abit similar. Samurai kind of revisits food and liquor abit to me when I heard it.
This is obviously the worst era of hiphop ever, there’s no golden era in the 2020’s
Rap has been around for 50 years! its time for something Different!. What! people are going to be still Rapping 10 years from now?. I wish it would End!.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 to the title. South music has been trash since its enception idc what nobody says.
I respectfully disagree.
@hiphopbakery It set zero trends and they have to manipulate numbers just to make people believe it's popular. Everyone sounds exactly the same coming put the south. Only people that were lyrical were goodie mobb, scarface, mjg & 8ball, ugk & a few more. Raps on deaths bed because of south music. No disrespect but the southern music genre needs to go away and it will not be remembered when it fades away.
