    Only Underground Hip Hop excites me, but I stopped listening to mainstream ages ago. If I'm forced to listen to the radio, I just switch to another genre if it isn't underground. Mainstream doesn't have any positivity to it 9 times out of 10, and I can't understand a word they're saying.

    70s,80s,90s up to maybe 2005 is all i listen to. S.P.C, S.U.C, classic West Coast, Memphis (3-6, Zirk, Squeeky etc) florida bass music (Dj Magic Mike, PEB, Fury, etc)..i loved the feelin of goin to the local mom an pops store in the 90s thumbin thru cassettes and cds, the smell of the cd, reading the paperwork, goin to the car an bumpin the jams. Im not listenin to too much nothin new unless it comes from the classic artists.

      But to answer the question, I still get that 90s feeling when new K-Rino music drops, I literally sit with earbuds in an listen to each song multiple times examining every word and topic. I feel music is art and good art will provoke emotion, the words will paint a picture in your mind. Iv got crunk, mind blown and had tears in my eyes listening to K-RINO's music. Press pause, rewind and think "I can't believe he jus said that!" Only emotion I get with these new age artists is "mannn turn that ish off, ain't finna embarrass me bumpin that!"

    I pick and choose. My dad said that the music you listen to in your college years is the music you will listen to for the rest of your life. I tend to agree. I was born in 75. I discovered hip hop in the late 80's. I discovered all the genre's of heavy metal in the early 90's. I was enamored with Houston rap because of the Geto Boys of course but continued to dig deep after I bought The South Park Psycho by Gangsta NIP as one of my first blind buy tapes. Ive been buying and talking about your music ever since. Thank you brother!

    Nah. So I decided to make my own rap songs. The industry is corrupt. They modified the natural 432hz songs and add extra material in ultrasound in their songs...
    They promote darkness whereas we should promote light for people to heal and feel better.
    Those who pay attention know it.
    You're one of the few rapper out there that I like cause you speak the truth. Besides, I kinda miss the scratches in rap music and good old positive songs like in "I can" by Nas or "work it out" by Jurassic5... 😂
    So, may rap music be more conscious and thanks for all your work! 😊
    Peace!

    There are so many good unknown rappers around the world that we don't know about. And almost all of their favourite artist is Tupac. 😂 In our country, if i have to choose just one, i wold say Ghet(from velenje, slovenia). He is special. I bet if he was from America, he would be a millionaire at least. He has got his own funny special flow.

I actually had the nerve to watch and listen to Sexyy Redd's new song today and I was just sitting and looking at the screen, like what am I listening too. Luckily, K-Rino you have an extensive music collection and I am still going through your catalogue and that is exciting. I will say, there is some new music out by RZA that I have been listening too.

    I am 40 now. As I got older, I realized life is too short to waste time listening to music I am not absolutely in love with. I fell in love with rap for certain styles and niches. I stick with the good music from late 80s to 2010. I don't waste time with new music anymore with only a few exceptions such as K-Rino and Spice 1. I honestly have no interest in 2nd Generation SPC. Even the newer stuff by SUC is not the same as in the past. Respect of the OG's is always at the utmost, but I don't find their new music appealing. I decided in past years to focus on the music I truly love. Life is short and there is nothing new under the sun. There is only so much to rap about, and then it gets redundant. I also have dreams and goals in life I want to achieve. I want to leave a legacy, God willing. So rap music does NOT excite me as it used to. This is why there is nothing more important than God and striving for a better world. "In a perfect world..."

    Nah, I don't get excited about Rap music anymore but I still enjoy listening to it. I agree that Rap music has become over statuated and there are still some great new and older artists that are putting out quality music like yourself (You're my all-time favorite emcee and my Top Five of all-time are K-RINO, Rakim, KRS-ONE, Jeru the Damaja, and Killah Priest). Also, I agree that we don't have to buy or listen to everything that comes out. I have narrowed down the Rap music I listen to as follows (No profanity, No N-word, and has to have Positive and Thought-Provoking Content). So, now when I look for an emcee or song if those boxes don't get checked I'll skip over the song or artist as a whole. If I really like the song but there is profanity or the N-word in the song I will buy the song and edit out the profane language. The reason those are my "NO-GOES" is because I view music as a mantra and I don't want certain words or thoughts to live within my subconscious. Since the late-90s I've actually listened to a lot of Christian rappers even though I'm not a Christian myself just because they usually check all my boxes.

  • @tmgtrapmobgodz
    @tmgtrapmobgodz Месяц назад +2

    Hip-hop and Rap two different types of adjective...rap wants to be included into hip-hop because it's a show or word skills. But not the same messages. People chose rap to be a type of battle between the people. Hip-hop was a battle against outsiders....public enemy, was hip-hop....Rap is an untamed message without any real problem solving...k-rino sometimes you had your moments to be Hip-hop and rap sometimes but you always gave a great depiction. People are influenced by money because it is cool to battle their own people. Trap and drill isn't hip-hop either because it has its own agenda...example, r&B isn't country singing? Or folk singing? People want to make hip-hop part of their claim. Detergents are different types as example.

    My friend from college is writing a PHD paper on how rap did what English poets thought was impossible: push rhyme further when it had already become the mainstream opinion that rhyming was passe. Of course, that same friends who was my guide into the world of loving rap, like yours/Big Pun/Wutang, is also totally dismissive of the current state of rap today. I argue that there's still the underground keeping the poetry alive, but the mainstream has definitely lost the thread.

    Forums, facebook groups, reddit and other websites, little hip-hop communities like that online often know about hidden gems.
    But yes, the game is oversaturated, also lets not forget today's society isa huge consumer and that reflects on everything else including their music choice. Most people dont care about a single artist, they only care about 4-5 songs they put in their spotify playlist of that artist. There's youtubers that became rappers just for the stardom, the clickbait and fame and kids who watch them wanna be like them for the same reason.
    The game has shifted in ways it's easier to start your career as social media influencer and only then become rapper after your build a core audience in the internet than the other way around. And it's understandable because in content creation you could attract anyone's attention on any topic compared to when making a song.
    Just like the news, if you watch the news you notice they use the most basic general language so more people can watch it. It's a bit the reason why simpler rap blows up that easy as well, when hip-hop started it was only us nerds who knew about the genre, it was our own thing, now the whole planet knows the genre exists and they can mold it to their liking based on how they react to the content.
    We have lot of inner problems to fix as a degrading society, before we can fix hip-hop and what type of music dominates. How are you gonna teach a child to ride a bike if he never had roads to ride on?
