people simply don't respect as a music, and don't know how to talk about it as a music. The MUSICAL aspect of hiphop is underrated, partly because cats focus on the MCs, and not the producers. Sit down and talk music with Premier, or Organizied Noize, or DJ Toomp, or Kanye and see what you get...these cats aren't just fuckin around til something clicks. They actually KNOW WHAT THE FUCK THEY'RE DOING,lol.
What's crazy is, the last decade or so has seen a shit ton of change in the MUSIC of hip-hop, even if you solely focus on the flexibility that comes with using DAWs. I remember cats buying weird synth lps JUST to sample open moog notes and spread'em on a MP.
Now,I got like 4 different GREAT moog emulations on THIS laptop, along with every synth my 70's icons rocked.
That's made a HUGE difference on the music. MASSIVE. But, you have to know music, and stop pimpin hiphop to see that
