Bands or artist people love to death and whenever you try to get into it you don't see the big deal. This even includes folks you respect or at the very least understand why there is a lot of respect around them.



Prince
Yo La Tengo
Neutral Milk Hotel
Radiohead
Rilo Kiley
J. Cole (aight, kind of a lie, dope albums but no replay at all)
Bob Dylan
Van Morrison
Grateful Dead
Nas (all albums past the first two or three)

Well, actually, not really, I remember being geeked off yo mtv raps with fab five back in the day and even then I was "eh" on KRS. I get that hes good and I respect his contributions but I've never been compelled to listen to a whole album nose to tail

became legendary, and even everything that was trendy. We weren't huge Dipset fans like NY was, especially bc of their improper use of gang culture, but it's no way that we would dislike a KRS, BDK, Kool G, Rakim, Run DMC, Slick Rick, etc etc. I'm not sure how many heads knew the Philly rappers like Schoolly D, but yeah.

even though i totally disagree. i love krs-one but i can see that maybe his style(s) may not be for everyone.

if you are going off of a couple songs i would recommend listening to any bdp albums. if you have listened to whole albums...i ono

Also you kinda 'had to be there' I guess.

But Edutainment hit 32 on the wypipo charts which I think is kinda dope. I feel like he was peaking with those 2 albums.

"...Whateva, man..." (c) Redman

I respect his place in the game and actually dig on a good amount of his and BDP's songs ... I think it's his voice that's always bothered me. So I guess he doesn't really fit "no matter how hard I try" cause I've come around a bit on a lot of his music. I just don't love him like a hip-hop head like myself should and typically does, I guess is what I mean.

I want to be more into his music because he produces, but I don’t get anything from it. I think I’ve seen both of his HBO docs, and some in-studio stuff on YouTube, and it just does not move me in any way.

I liked Tetsuo and Youth but I couldn't listen to it more than once

Basically all new rap other than a select few like Rapsody, Kendrick, Vince Staples I don't like. Been playing my shit from the 90's and early 2000's. After Sean Price passed away and other dudes got old there just is nothing for me.

I liked that new Evidence album mainly because it sounds the same as it did 15 years go

The Black Panther soundtrack so far is good

and red hot chilli peppers- anything after bssm

He oughta let Earl Sweat do a whole album.

with Vince or Danny or both.

Vince has gone in a different direction with his last two albums but I'm still digging it. That stuff he did with No I.D. and earlier is hard to knock or top imo... and my only real complaint with Danny is that sometimes I feel yelled at too much by his frantic ass wasted self... mind you I wouldn't have it any other way.

a full album by Earl w either would be fire.

- Little Brother's first album (I don't actually blame them. I realized I had started losing interest in Hip-Hop by the time their album came out, but everyone here loved it to death for obvious reasons.)

"Headphone Masterpiece" was like some off the wall demo album from some wanna-be Lenny Kravitz who thinks like Kool Keith, when I first heard some tunes I knew people from here were high when listening to him or got some "hey I like amateurish rock" vibe in them.

You right on not paying much attention to suggested artists on OKP these days, when trap artists started getting hyped around here I knew the old heads were gone and the new era of ThatSite-ers were posting now.

I'm a Kool Keith fan but I know 80% of what he puts out is garbage, I just like the diamonds in the ruff songs here & there.

Also who is the Asian sounding D'Angelo kat you were referring to?

i see how: Boogie Wonderland fits there, but do yo include "september" or "fantasy" or "serpentine fire" too (those are big, but i dunno if I'd call them disco-y)?

past that, you don't do their ballads either?

like "reasons" or "cant hide love"?

I cant trust them.

other songs too Big Disco-y.

Keep your head to the sky).

I dig Fantasy and Got to get you into my life but the rest I am probably skipping almost every time.

A couple of things:

1. I've told folks before I've have a blind spot for certain late 70s stuff because my parents never got into it (though everyone else's parents I know where into it). I think it's because my parents were slightly older than my friends parents (My dad was into Jazz and his idol is Marvin Gaye and my mom only loves Motown stuff). Though I dig Isley Brothers, Rick James, Maze, Cameo & Roger, because my dad liked certain funk groups from that era, truth be told, I wsa kind of late appreciating acts like Chaka Kahn and Stevie Wonder because they weren't that big with my dad. And my dad seemed to hate Disco.

2. I can remember being young and liking September or Let's Groove but true to OKP form is I end up hating anything that becomes too popular. I get bored with a lot of Wedding Party songs. I rather hear the deeper cuts from Michael Jackson, Prince or Stevie. I can't listen to Beat It, Billie Jean, Signed, Sealed, Delivered or Purple Rain.

3. There are probably deeper cuts of EWF I would appreciate, but never took the time to check them out. Anyway, happy for OKP to school me on EWF.


Anyway, this is my dark shame, my cross to bear.

SLick Rick was more nuanced, and Rakim was more 5% butthe both pre-date Nas in reppin' street shxt.

I didn't know how grimy NYC was til I heard THAT shit. By the time he dropped Live and Let Die the 'hard-rock' era was coming on and EVERYBODY was basically on some 'it's hard out here' shit. And he was early with the Mafia references..before SHallah and Starks

There was no more Chubb Rock, Dana Danes or any of that $hit. No happy rap. It was the era of 'shit is mad real'.

Also Big Pun's flow owes a lot to Kool G. That rapid-fire multi-syllabic rhyme scheme shxt was HIS.

if you not into that type of rap, it's not for you.

Road to the Riches was the penultimate'I-don't-wanna-be-a-bad-guy-but-look-at-my-surroundings' song of it's time.

>I have to make this confession but my only association with

Listen to what he was doing with different rhyme patterns and schemes back in 1988. And it wasn't punchline rap. He was telling stories all throughout. He was just as if not more advanced than Kane & Rakim, he just never had the radio hit. I think the lisp kinda masks his gift. Similar to how Mase's lazy flow takes the focus off of how well crafted his rhymes were.

i think im starting to turn the corner on prince but not quite there yet

pretty much all of country which lately i have been finding a lot of people really are into

i dont think i keep track of artists i tried but didnt like so im sure theres an actual list i could make but i would need to get a list of popular artists and see which ones i have actually tried listening to.

Like to see an artist drop an album that you think is the ultimate best thing going and then there next album is BETTER than what you thought was the best thing ever?1!? That's a hell of a run...but that was his run for a minute.

never heard a song of hers that made me want to check out her albums. enjoyed watching lemonade but no interest in hearing any songs again. dont like her on features/collabos.

mad props on her success though.

not big on pop in general

i do not check for her at all and I have a bias towards her

however

I have been caught way way WAY off guard when I'm just chilling at the barber or some spot and a song comes on and I realize that she is backed by great producers, great engineers, great song writers and she has a great set of pipes. It just kind of sneaks up on you
