Lord Jamar Blasts Idea That '90s Hip Hop Lacked a Kanye

- With a debut album on Def Jam and while making headlines for his outlandish commentary, Lord Jamar seemed to miss out on the buzz surrounding freshman rapper Vince Staples. The Brand Nubian rapper tells DJ Vlad that he isn't aware of the budding Long Beach native or his statement that the 90s are overrated because they didn't have a Kanye. After getting a good laugh, Lord Jamar blamed people for making sales more important than quality or impact of culture within the genre. "Trying to put a critique and a standard on Hip-Hop that is more Euro-based than it is Afro-based." He explained, "All these idiots are the first ones to always talk about how much they sold, and all of this dumb s***, as if all of that matters when it comes to the quality of Hip-Hop."
Watch above as Lord Jamar and DJ Vlad go through the "Kanyes" of the Golden Era above.

Sales will NEVER beat impact or quality!!! Vanilla Ice sold a lot of records!!!
ice ice baby was a catchy song
+Tristin Gunn Lol, good analogy.
The best selling rappers are Eminem, Kanye, biggie, jay z, Andre 3000...think there's a direct correlation between sales and quality
+reali reddoot There's a direct correlation between sales and good marketing get it straight. If any of the rappers you just named had stayed indie they'd still be making quality music, just without the sales. There's countless quality artists without the big corporation push, that consistently put out amazing work. Real heads will know this
+Randy Marx the artist who creates the work has a direct hand in its marketing. So whoever does that well, it's a success upon them conveying their art in how it's intended to be delivered. Makes them better artist to me. Any "indie person" that fails to do so, there's a reason their indie. If you think artist don't have an executive hand in the marketing of their music, than you greatly underestimate them. That would at why you have that silly view
Quality > quantity Wtf is vince staples saying, 90s hiphop is amazing
the 90's didn't need a Kanye
The Kanye of the 90’s was Andre 3000
@@selfishstockton6123 no. 3Stacks was a poet. Like Nas and 2pac.
Kanye used ghostwriters. Dilla, Pete Rock, Q Tip all were Kanye production wise.
@@tayluc777 First of all he did not use ghost riders second of all the credit all his ghost riders third of all he made beats for it almost every artist that was a big in the early 2000s so don’t sit here and try to fucking discredit Kanye
Q-Tip was the Kanye of the 90s.
Or DJ Quik
+Firstname Surname Kanye of the '90s WTF does that even mean?? As far as record sales? Personality? Mainstream notoriety? Marrying whores? What does it mean??
+David Duarte Vince Staples didn't really specify on it, not sure if he meant rapper/producer or what
It's an insult to Q-Tip in my IMO. Way more talented than Kanye
+Jason Blade college dropout is the best album of all time. but over all q tip contributed much more to hip hop
This is the only genre of music that shits on its legends
I have never seen linkin park say 80s Rock was trash
I never seen Taylor swift say Dolly Parton era was corny
Vh1 stopped doing the hip hop honors tribute smh
That is literally one artist. A bunch of rappers pay homage to the greats in their songs. How are going to label Hip hop as whole because of an unpopular opinion
+highlander2107 Rockers look back on hair metal and laugh about how the hair was silly and corny, but they don't diss the music itself or the artists, just the aesthetic. Probably the same way future MCs are going to look back at the bling-bling era and laugh but still respect some of the lyricism.
+aloof_aquarius Punk artists talked shit about 70s rock all the time. Grunge talked shit about 80s. Indie talks shit about mainstream music all the time.
+aloof_aquarius We dont support each other, thats the problem
Not true,rockers started doing that shit too,as well as this new era of r&b yell
The 90's didn't need a Kanye!
exactly
Thats right even though he was out in the 90's
Kanye had the 2000s his work from 2001-07 cannot be denied 🙅♂️ other than that he’s been trash
Lmao at all🤣🤣
I mean no generayion needs a kanye
Man.. the 90's had Pac, Big Nas, Jay, Busta... to name a few. What tf we talking about?
+Michael Achterberch Na, Ive been posring bruh.. The January list is on DNA vs Brizz Rawstein, but whoever manages the URL page moves the comments around so you might not see them after a few days. I don't know why they do that.
Bruh thats just mid-late 90s. Early 90s had Tribe, De La Soul, Gang Starr, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Digable Planets, just to name a few! Man, I forgot how on fire the East Coast was!! Smh. Im not gonna lie I used to be one who thought 90s hip hop was overrated as a teen (I'm 23 btw) but as I got older I learned to appreciate hip hop for what it was and started to discover all the different styles and sounds that were coming out at that time left to right. Especially when you compare it to what it is now. Dead. Smh a couple of years ago i probably wouldve agreed with vince on this because of my ignorance, but seeing how much worse hip hop has gotten just since this interview makes me appreciate THEE golden era even more now.
@@jaimenunez4503 Don't sleep on that Boot Camp Clik either, bruh. Black Moon, Smif-n-Wessun, Heltah Skeltah and O.G.C. (Originoo Gunn Clappaz) all classic debut albums that were among the best NYC hip hop of that time, especially Black Moon's Enta da Stage and Smif-n-Wessun's Dah Shinin'. Then you had the Diggin' in the Crates crew and their affiliates: Lord Finesse, Big L, Showbiz & A.G., O.C., Herb McGruff... You had Das EFX and their completely unique brand of hip hop. All three coasts: west, east and south (don't get me started on that old school Memphis rap), were absolutely bangin' in the 90's.
A Kanye ?
Who and the fuck is Kanye ?
facts lol
+Black Koshinomi his concerts are nothing but preppy white boys and metrosexual brothas.
Yeah I'm trynna figure out what he means by that too
The artist behind amazing albums like late registration, college drop out, graduation, and my dark twisted fantasy.. Uh hu
***** right lol
Eminem can spit though
+Dirty Rag true
+Dirty Rag holy fuck he absolutely does. don't get how people listen to his stuff
*****
woooord lol. his stuff is definitely linkin park-ish.
+Jehovanny Garcia I know Em is the best. Jamar that was a bad comparison.
He just hates the fact that a white rapper is better than him
Spice 1 is a legend out here in the Bay. Props to L Jamar for knowing about it.
90s didn't have a Kayne,man please.kayne was in the 90s,he was just a beat maker,to wack to come out
Niggity niggity nine!
FOR THE YOUNGINS THAT STILL DON'T GET IT.
Rappers focused more on being unique back then. That's why the music sounded better as a whole. Busta Rhyme, Nas, Das Efx, etc.. are all from the same city but they sound nothing alike. Back then it was blasphemous to sound like someone else unless you were in the same group. Groups like Outkast, Bone, and Wutang had members that used the same rhyme style but no other rapper outside those groups used that style without getting called out. In today's music, everyone uses the same flow and cadence leaving us with a saturation of the same emotionless bars over a good beat and catchy chorus.

You say 90's hip hop like it's a person. Kanye has a better discog than a lot of rappers from that decade.
+You Dont E.N.O Better in what way?

+yusef21595 Thank you
I'm 21 and listen to nothing but classics from the 90s, wtf was Staples on???? Qtip from atcq is kanyes mentor... Consequence(qtips cousin) helped Kanye write shit for all his early albums tf lol
90s may not have had Kanye, but they had something better...a 2pac
Everything was better in the 90s how we lived what we watched the music we listened to...
You said it right and concise...90s had tupoc. But listening to lady jama all i hear is racism from him.
90 era is what put Hip Hop on the map. Era where rappers were intelligent and they were themselves. Even though i don't listen 90 era Hip Hop, i can understand why it's called a Golden Era.
+Dou ahou If you don't listen to 80's and 90's hip hop. You are not really down with hip hop. Then you are a pop music lover.
+MrStaano words of wisdom!!!
MrStaano No, you are just down with 2000's Hip Hop.
Dou ahou
or too young to understand.
Dou ahou I am down with 2000's hip hop?
The 90's are overrated? LMAO! We had a 2Pac. Fk a Kanye. Shoot. The 90's entertained every single genre of music. Nobody really sounded the same. Vince Staples just has low standards for music which is why his "music" is underperformed and overlooked. That boy was born in 1993. That says it all. I don't like having music debates with people younger than me especially if they have no music vocabulary and aren't open to learn.
RIGHT!!! Not even just Tupac...We had a Timbaland, Puffy, Master P, Dr Dre, Rza, Dj Premier, Dee and Wah, Damon Dash and a Jermaine Dupri all who say a vision and executed on it. I mean what artist now really have any vision rather then making the latest dance or club record. Even underground artist like Vince Staples lack personal originality. To be specific Kanye is technically from the late 90s and blew up in early 2000s...so he's not even really in Vince Staples era.
Wait didn't rappers like Biggie and Tupac sell MORE albums than Drake and Kanye?
Tupacs biggest album sold over 6 million while tupac was alive.
Drakes biggest album only sold like 1 million.
TheFutureKing ya but they didnt have the internet like it is now back then. and trust me im not saying drake would have sold more all im sayin is u cant compare sales then n now at all
Cap drake is the seconds most selling rapper ever

I usually don’t waste my time with non-positive state of mind people like you and with bad faith. When I say 90’s Hip Hop Legends I’m talkin’ about artists that marked the 90’s (since it’s the subject of that video). I’m not talkin’ about when the artists began to rap. Many of them marked the 80’s and the 90’s as well. Eric B. & Rakim had 2 albums in the 90’s and were touring during that period. Beastie Boys : 3 studio albums in the 90’s (more than in the 80’s),… If I wanted to mention only the artists that began their career in the 90’s like Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Mobb Deep, Nas,… there still would be some people like you who would tell me “They began to rap in the 80’s but were still not known…” or “Where are Public Enemy, EPMD, LL Cool J,… ?”. They all marked the 90’s ! We used to see them on Yo! MTV Raps during that era… I could make a list of only 90’s artists (who did nothing in the 80’s) without Wikipedia ! I’m an old school head. Everybody understood what I meant about 90’s Legends except YOU. Even Lord Jamar mentions these 80’s-90’s artists… That will be my last comment. Peace, Unity, Love & Havin’ Fun !

I mean, the funny part is I'm still forgetting people, and everyone I listed isn't just some rapper of the time, they all have classics and produced some of the greatest albums and songs ever. Ever. E-V-E-R.
And you think Kanye came along and did anything special? Lyrically he can never hold a mic with these guys and as a producer he's just a product of the computer era. Dudes have been sampling shit forever. What, Kanye samples are more "artistic" or something? Get the fuck outta here.

Preach King.
+Lord Jamar You know how these dudes do they talk out of their ass to get attention, that controversy sells bullshit
+DalexDorchester Yeah you probably have lol
I like Young Pharaoh. I just think he just needs to add some methodology and critical analysis to his studies. He's all over the place sometimes but he's definitely sharp.
The 90's aren't overrated, that's the true golden era of hip-hop & it always will no matter what ..
the funny thing is thst it would have been the exact opposite for most of these rappers these days.. they'd be starving in the 90s.. in reality if kanye or young thug was in the spot light back in the 90s wearing woman's clothing and wanting people to call em jesus ..the 90s era would have chewed em up and spat em out like a bad taste 😂
Kanye doesn't wear women's clothes
First of all anytime a newer artist tries to dis the 90's they are clearly just salty bc they know it's true. The 90's had literally some of best music and movies and just media and entertainment pd. Now the fact of the matter is most current artist don't even make good entire albums anymore, and idk if they can. It's acceptable to have 2 or 3 poppin' singles and that's it. Please I was in the car with Drake and other day listening to Drake's new CD and I SWEAR I did not know when the songs were changing. It all just sounded like one long ass song. That same slow melody with that slow ass generic steady drum beat, sing-rapping on every song. Wack!

no they came in the 2000's
jamal bryant nope, for dilla checkout slum village which their first record came out in '96 called Fan-Tas-Tic Vol.1 and madlib was in a underground group called C.D.P. in the early 90's. Look up madlib's return of the loop digga record where he showcases his favorite cuts he made in the 90's.
I think what Vince was really just trying to say was that 90s hip hop didn't have an impact on him because he was just a kid in the 90s. The 2000s music was bigger to him because that's what he was listening to growing up and that's the music he enjoys. Rappers like Kanye, 50, Wayne, and even bow wow (he said it, not me) are more important to him because he remembers when they blew up and their biggest songs/albums dropped. I don't think he was dissing 90s hip hop, he was just saying that music doesn't mean as much to him as the 2000s stuff
That's what he should've said then
@@NorthPhilly-zr7xc thats what he should say because everything he said was lies lol Kanye is overrated
I've been saying for the longest time that a platinum record ain't shit to having a dope album. I'd rather have a dope album and go gold than have a shitty platinum album.
90s will always be the greatest. its not about sales or being popular culture. its about it being the best quality music over every other decade
VINCE STAPLES IS ACTUALLY DOPE, IM SURPRISED BY THIS STATEMENT
word? he nice ?
+Khalil Young yea he pretty good fam
Why you always typing in caps??
Uncommonly Dope keyboard is broken
so what if he doesn't like 90s rap? there is no rule saying you must like 90s to be a rapper.
People in the 80's and 90's, truly Loved Rap music and the Hip-Hop culture. They woke up and feel asleep with it on their minds and heart. You don't see that
kind of love for Rap and Hip-Hop in these artist because they are only in it for the money. Not to mention the record labels are only interested in putting out and promoting certain kind of Urban music, which that in it's self is in a high level of destruction! They will rather promote the hell out of Young Thug instead of Nas or J.Cole. This generation LACKS imagination and Pure Raw Talent, therefore you are and will be stuck with Trash.
Bruh put 90's rappers in todays era raping about killing and selling dope you would still say this shit lol
This generation doesn't have a Tupac, so what's this cat's point.
Kendrick Lamar? J Cole? Vince?
@@robertcooper-norris4094 Not even close. Don't compare them to Pac.
Talking Thrones you drunk
Tupac’s interviews were deep he had the wisdom of a 50 year old at 21. There won’t be anybody that real and complex, he was one of a kind!
Robert Cooper-Norris don’t even compare those ppl to pac
the 90s was the best decade for rap, r&b, hell black entertainment period!!!!!!!!!! everything started getting real bad after 05' 06'
People forget the black Renaissance of the 90s. Where black culture had a new conscious movement, black entertainment found new heights and was seeing success in ways never seen before, it saw the beginning of black owned or black run properties in my lifetime where I first saw the idea of black people owning their own content (didn't always plan out that way unfortunately). It's probably why we had so many classic and quality albums in that decade as well.
@MadDilla ATCQstarr I haven't said anything about the 80s? He specifically said the 90s was the best and I explained reasons I enjoyed that era. If he said something about the 80s I would comment on that too.
Foreal man . 05-06 was when the south really started taking over and its pretty much been downhill from there...a couple of bright spots here and there with dudes like J. Cole, Kendrick, Joey Badass and a few others but for the most part, I would say 90%, maybe more of rap today consists of STRAIGHT TRASH!!
Hip hop in the 90's was indeed the best. As far as RNB it's pretty close, cause the 70's and 80's also had sum amazing RNB music.
There was more authentic & quality Hip Hop in the 90's Than there ever has been in the last 15 years. Vince is insane talking just 2pac and BIG. Blacksheep , Brand Nubian you can't name all the artist who didn't sell records but made classic albums back than please! Long Live Hip Hop period especially 90's hip hop!
90's was the era that built hip hop to what it's been able to be today.
Why does everyone forget the south --- OUTKAST! is what we grew up on in FL
Jamar laid the hammer down here, damn truth!
What about Q-Tip, Dr Dre, Jay-Z, Tupac? Kanye even admits to jacking drum patterns from Dre and we know how much he was inspired by Tip.
+Cris LeRoi Exactly, even RZA too. People also forget to include that Consequence ghostwrote some of Kanye's best work.
+Dirty Rag so does Dr. Dre
So why discredit Kanye so much if a legend like Dre does/did the same? You don't think that some of the other "legends" from the 90's did the same thing? Producers and rappers alike?
+Dirty Rag the reason I brought Dre up is because he does the same thing Kanye does and you're ragging on him for that. I'm not against cowriting/ghostwriting nor writing for someone else nor using beat makers to help a producer out but it seems like there's a double standard on your behalf. I could be totally wrong and I apologize in advance if that's the case but I also mentioned Dre since you mentioned other artists as well.
+Dirty Rag 48 laws of power ,We'll remember Kanye west not the helpers
It's insane. It's like saying rock music from the 60's/early 70's is overrated. Stupid ass shit.
Talking about sales... fuck sales. It's about timelessness of music. Dope music is timeless. And there are a loooot of timeless 90's joints.
90's had no Kanye?? Im glad there was no Kanye in the fucking 90;s. Nas...Tupac..Cypress Hill, De la Soul etc etc he named them all in the vid. Mad competitive times.
The 2000's also had many dope joints..
It's so stupid it made reply to myself.
kanye isn't even the best rapper in this era
***** lupe fiasco, kendrick lamar
one of my favorite Lord Jamar interviews
Who the fuck said that hip hop lacked a Kanye West in the 90s?
I like Kanye but some of y'all really act like that dude is a god

that doesn't mean we think he's a god maybe we just think he makes good music fuck head
Glotaku ! Did I ever fucking say he sucked?
Wrath Of Yen no you said people think he's a god
thinking someone is the best doesn't mean you think he's god that's some dumbass shit. If you think Tribe is the best does that mean you think they're god? no stop disqualifying opinions with false shit just because there are a lot of people who think Ye makes goat music
Glotaku ! And I fucking stand by my statement. SOME PEOPLE ACT LIKE HE'S A FUCKING GOD
+Glotaku ! Ummm no people legit think dude is a god lol production wise he is but rap-wise? Not even. His old stuff was on point though and that snippet he dropped recently is mad cool....but none of it is god-level
Real talk agree 100% with Lord Jamar. Unless you grew up listening to 90s Hip Hop the Golden Era you won't understand, I remember classic albums dropping baking to back constantly!!
These young cats don't respect the culture and understand that all the artists before them have paved the way, It just fucks with me that nobody seems to know there Hip Hop history!
**BACK TO BACK**
Who the hell is vince staples..one of the staples singers?
BWAAAAAAAAAAAH! now that made me almost spit my juice out
He's good but he sounds ignorant
Amon he’s actually one of the best lyricists right now doing way better than your bum ass
I mean that's facts 90's didn't have a Kanye but that's because hip hop wasn't as huge as it is now.
Is DOOM considered as a 2000's artist? Because his best work happened in the mid 2000's i.e Madvillainy.
Well he had a good amount of music out in the 90s
his catalogue goes back to early 90's w/ KMD....and getting better w/age
Stan Spliff I know that but his better albums like MMM Food were released in the 2000s.
Stan Spliff ok we can debate that even though Madvillainy is critical acclaimed and he most successful project. I know DOOM does not have hits but the songs he play in his shows are from the mid 2000s.
+xSalamz 90's rapper with a 2000's resurgence.
The 90's had a Biggie, a 2pac, a Wu-Tang, bruh.
90s was the best time to listen to the dopest lectures....#schoolingyourass
early 2000's were dope after 2006 albums became scarce and lack of quality...
Agreed all da way as a matter fact I'll say after 07
Pac Biggie Pun Wu Tang Nas Snoop Dre Big L etc... I could keep going. The 90's destroys the past 16 years combined
Vince who? Staples? How bout he staples his mouth shut next time he thinks about saying some dumb shit like that.
+Xavier Miranda lol
There's plenty of great rappers today too and the game is more diverse than ever. Y'all some nutriders thinking the 90s was perfect and putting it on an untouchable pedestal. Were you even old enough to appreciate it at the time or you saying it because everyone else is?
Thinking today's music sucks and old music is better is a closed minded way to look at music.
julchu0 b4 u judge..just listen & compare the music back then & now..u will see there is a strength & unity also a conscience back then musically...now a days music aint bad its just lacks some vital ingredience...
+Seanie T I've listened to plenty of 90s music and used to have the same mentality but at some point you realize how bad this kindest is toward music. Artists should be able to progress and change as they see fit. Holding everyone to one standard is stupid.
Hip hop isn't missing anything in fact it's more diverse than ever.
Salute Lord Jamar!! I agree totally
I remember being at the record store stuck deciding what album I wanted to get! Shit was wild in the 90s I miss it!
Absolutely! Jamar. Thank God for u. For real. What we need now is truth not perfection.
This nigga Jamar always find a way to bring shady into the convo lmao

Was expecting a better interview with that title. It delved into Jamar just saying artists that where out in the 90's.

What he said at the end is SO right..I listen to Hip Hop of this generation, but for the longest time there's really only been a couple albums per year I look forward to...seems hard to believe now, but in the 90's it was more like from a couple per week to a few per month...... & SO many singles too
my man Jamar keepin it 100 as always!!!
saying the 90s is overated is like saying Kanye Em and Lil Wayne are better than Rakim,Nas and BIG L
Saying the 90s is overated is like saying Muddy Waters, Wrath of the Math and Da Shinin were average LPs
Fuck Sales
Saying the 90s is overated is saying Nicki Minaj is better than Lauryn hill or that ASAP is better than Souls of Mischief
Exactly my brother. Finally, a RUclips comment that makes sense!
I swear to god once I heard Vince Staples make that comment I lost respect and I aint fucking with any of his music. Its one thing and say that he dosen't like the 90's because its not his cup of tea to listen to but having to be ignorant and say "there wasn't a kanye in that era though!" if you can't respect the history of the culture then don't bother having to keep progressing as an artist. Plus Kanye west was obviously influenced from the 90's hip hop era so no 90's hip hop, no Kanye simple.
+Vic Robbins vince didn't say the 90's were overrated and he also didn't say they need a kanye. This is an example of Vlad not doing his research and purposely spewing bullshit for views.
Why you so concerned with dude's opinion lmao why this effect you this much?
Free Gucci Mane I'm not concerned on really his opinion but I just didn't like the way he came off he seems to be more disrespectful to the culture than having to say "Oh I dont like listening to 90's Hip Hop". He just comes off underappreciating what he has. So which is why I don't fuck with him. That's just me and you dont have to agree either
Vic Robbins He said he didn't grow up on 90's music regardless dude can rap and he usually just trolls in every interview so you just thinking too deep into what he had to say lol.
2:50 thought my Internet was buffering but Jamar just froze for time hahaha
When he said when there album dropped every car that drove by was playin it Great point Jamar 👍
Lord Jamar = Truth
We got all the talent and inspiration from the 90's era because 90's studied the craft from the time before and heighted it. 90's was the last era of the originators and innovators. That's why artist from the 90's era can hop on a song today and nobody questions whether or not they'll kill it, it's already been proven by their legacy. If these artists didn't hit then why are you excited still when an old head from then agrees to do a feature with you. All I see is a bunch of videos where these new kids are constantly thanking them for even rocking with them over and over again. See how long these new kids last after the fame drops, it's gonna be very few. I still rock with Pac, Biggie, Bone Thugs, Snoop and Dre till this day, two of them are dead and still miles ahead
Big Pun was in the 90's...end of story for me
Jamar ain't lieing though...
Big pun in the 90's was dope as fuck! The 90's was the best of hip hop . Today's hip hop is bullshit . Mumble rap.
And RIP Sean price!
I personally agree with you but you have to understand that people born after the biggie and pac days they like the new generation of hip hop and consider that the best, it's just their opinion, it's not right and it's not wrong.
+Vuzy Dube this generation of kids don't want to think that's the problem that's why they like these bs artists. They wanna hear a beat and not listen to the lyrics. My day it was about lyricism , I miss that. Now we have ppl dressing up in skirts and shit , it's ridiculous and a joke. There will never be a rapper that comes out of this generation that is considered a great like biggie and tupac or pun or big L. Never!
But majority of these bs artist are just ones you can get turnt up too and another thing hip hop has changed a lot like hip hop has its own sub genres and is all about expressing yourself that's why you see males dressed up in skirts and talking about dicks because they're expressing themselves there's not much we can do as why that's what hip hop is about. personally I don't consider Big L as a great nor Tupac as a rapper but as an individual yes
+Vuzy Dube big L was an amazing lyricist . Many rappers have spoke about him . Jay z was gonna sign him right before he died. Hip hop has died ! People now will sellout just to sell records and that's sad.
I say 2003 was the downfall, "Get Rich Or Die Trying" was the last albumThat I can honestly say was the shit, I was a kid then BUT I just an album by quality, if you skip threw most of the album then it's horrible, period
I think T.I's KING was the cutoff to me. 04-12 was hit or miss albums imo
yeah, mostly a miss though
What about 'The Documentary'? That was 2005 and is on the same level as GRODT.
That was a great album as well, a lot of material for that album was originally 50s though. Sings such as "how we do" & "hate it or love it" were originally 50 songs giving to The Game. Don't get me wrong even without those tracks it would've be a good album still but it wouldn't of been as successful on a commerical level with those being the two lead singles you know?
lol wtf heaps of great hip-hop has dropped since then, Madvillainy, Common - Be, The College Dropout, Late Registration, Cunninlynguists albums, Ghostface Fishscale, Donuts, Hell Hath No Fury, Lupe albums, The Roots albums, Below The Heavens, Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, Kendrick shit
and that's just off the top, 50 Cent isn't fucking with DOOM, he's not fucking with Black Thought, he's not fucking with Ghostface
hahah i love seeing all of you eating this up, Vince is straight up trolling and you just getting all riled up, bravo Vince
When he mentioned multiple classics dropping on a single day, "Enter the 36 Chambers"/ "Midnight Marauders" came to mind, 11/09/93. Kind of crazy to think about. Unfair.
Kanye is a product of the 80s and 90s
Yo Lord Jamar should just move to London. Get a flat in Brixton. He says he likes "AFRO" based hip hop. Gerald Jacobs and Jay Prince. I honestly think Brand Nubian would fit right in. Brixton is closer in culture to Harlem,Jamiaca Queens,Flatbush than Los Angeles.
How was OutKast not mentioned when you guys were listing off 90s rap artists? The Roots?
Yep we in Philly played one for all or any brand Nubian
There are Tons of young dope MC's.
The 90's were better tho
Strongly agree
Real talk Jamar
The 90's didn't need a Kanye. The 90's had Nas, Mobb Deep, Biggie, WU-Tang, Snoop, Fugees, Jay Z,Tupac, Dogg Pound, Jeru the Damaja, Gangstarr, Redman, Keith Murray, Eric Sermon, Epmd, Eminem, Mad Skillz, BlackStarr, AZ, Outkast, Rass Kass, Chino XL, Black Moon, Heltha Skelthah, LL Cool J, Lil Kim, Mase, Puffy, Master P,Lox, DMX, Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, CNN, Ice Cube, Common, etc. The list goes on and on. Kayne wouldn't of made it in the 90's. I'm 36 and I grew up on 90's hip hop, and I listen to hip hop in this era. This era of hip hop is no comparison to the 90's hip hop. That's a fact. If you 22, 18, or 26 years old and you're trying to compare the two eras, it's impossible, because you didn't live through it.The 90's hip hop was even better than the 80's. In the 90's, their were so many good rappers, and their were so many classic albums dropped. The best hip hop albums of all time came out in the 90's. Anyone whose followed hip hop for over 20 plus years will admit to this. Also, the 90's did have stars-Tupac was a star,Snoop, LL Cool J, Master P, Biggie, Method Mad, etc., so what is Vince Staples talking about? These rappers were stars, and were even bigger than Kanye West. I respect the younger generation, but I don't respect when a younger person criticizes a certain era or time frame of music when you weren't even around to experience it. That's like me criticizing what Martin Luther King Jr. did based on what I read in books. Well, what I read in books is different from what Jesse Jackson may have to say about him because Jesse Jackson actually knew the man personally, and he lived through that time. You can't judge or criticize something if you've never experienced it personally; you can' t assume or just go off he-say-she-say
@djvlad hey man, what happened to all of the Star and Lord Jamar videos?
Didn't have a Kayne?!??!????!!!!! Get the F outta here TF?
Vince Staples ain't shit he don't know nothing about hip hop.. Smh my generation is so lost when it comes to hip hop..... I'm 20 years old and I know about real hip hop the 70's 80's and 90's was the golden era and no other era will be better and I was born in 95 and I can tell you that 💯💯
+Q Sosa Yeah im 20 too and I don't get how you gon shit on your own generation of hip-hop. stop listening to the fucking radio then you can see how many dope artists have came out past the 90s. I can list 10 easy.
+Royal .Z bruh you're right it's plenty of dope artist from my generation I know that but let's be honest here this generation isn't fucking with the 80's or 90's.. I don't even listen to the radio I been stopped doing that.. I'm just saying this generation doesn't have shit on the 90's..
You guys want some cookies or biscuits?
+Freddy Placencia I like my milk and cookies 😂😂😂😂
+Royal .Z shit on it? lmao it is shit.
I keep thinking the video pausing he goes so still in between talking lol
I hear that marketability talk Mac Dre was a big sound trend setter but didn't hear him on the radio either.

lol the look on Lord Jamar's face as soon as the clip comes on.
EVERY clip.
When he was asked about the 2000's the first group I thought of was Little Brother (and the rest of the Justus League).
This is old news but Vlad did not really give a detailed explanation of what Vince said about 90's hip hop. Vince did not say the 90s was overrated because they did not have Kanye. He said the 90s is a bit overrated because Pac and BIG was apart of that era but the other music created was not that great.
+xSalamz which is a bullshit statement.
+victor duncan W
+victor duncan which one? "because the 90s did not have kanye" or "90s is a bit overrated because Pac and BIG was apart of that era but the other music created was not that great."
+victor duncan Right
Either way he is still wrong. Pac and BIG may have been the biggest stars of the 90s era, but they weren't making the best music. You can't equate popularity and stardom to quality of music, which is what Jamar is saying. How much did Illmatic, Low End Theory, Reasonable Doubt, One for All etc sell? But you can't find many albums that can compete with those.
This Vince guy whoever he is, is so wrong. I would say that after Kanye's first album he is one of the rappers who are destroying hip hop
Did you actually hear/read what he said
Money Man Vince? No i assumed he said what Vlad and Jamar were talking about.
No they got it all confused
Kanye destroying hip-hop? Lmaooo
Marcus Clough Yep he is making bullshit music. He is a fucking pop queen these days,Kanye Kardashian
you forgot outkast
Lol I don't know why but I LMAO when he said "Shit, Snoop!" 😂😂😂
Who the fuck is Vin Staples?
Nowhere close
Who is This Jamar nigga?
A nobody mediocre long beach rapper
Get out of my face with that !! I agree 100% with Lord Jamal !!!! Who is Kanye ???? That insult to all the legends from 80's 90's Hip Hop Man !!! That is one the reason why can't deal with these young little punks today man !! These kids have no type of respect at all !!! I nothing against Kanye or Eminem , but they would not have made it in that era !!! For the simple fact that there was way too much talent back then whether there it was east, west, north or south !!! Even Jay Z was a small fish in that era !! Get out my face with B.S. !!!!! That is why I don't even listen to these wack kids today !!!
+Raymond Elie There was a time where people bought albums for the whole record not single !!! Please !!!
+Raymond Elie That kills me when these kids act like there was no creativity back then !!!
We invented creativity !!!. These young cats be acting like Kanye invented that shit !! If it were't for the cats in the 80's or 90's there would be no Kanye or an Eminem with any type of inspiration !! They got that from my era !!! Back then there was such a thing known as the underground !! That's why if you really wanted to get that respect !! You had to blow up in NY !!
+Raymond Elie Like I said I have nothing against Kanye , but don't sit there and tell me that the 90's are overrated and Kanye would of had it popin !!! Get the hell out my face with that garbage !!!
80's and 90's, the best decades of hip hop!!!!
when 50 came out every car was bumpin that shit
Probably the only interview of Lord Jamar's that I liked overall.
