Jo Koy - Hip-Hop vs Mumble Rap

  • beat this! (apr 30 - may 1) signup begins in...
We need to get some of these kids on boom bap beats, nobody wants to see old men rapping so we need to kidnap a load of kids, strap them to chairs and force them to listen to boom bap for 24 hours a day until they submit to our demands. Strictly for science mind you, no funny business.
Lets make wordplay and intelligent rhyme schemes great again. I propose we beat them around the heads with dictionaries and thesaurus's until it sinks in.

Hopefully mumble rap and the like dies a hard death soon enough.

This would actually be a fun experiment.

I do feel sorry for the younger generation since they'll never experience how it was back then. For me it was just the little things like going to a venue and seeing the turntables on stage just sitting there under the lights, it was awesome to see. Then having a bunch of local acts open up the show was dope too.

From what I see at live shows now, they seem to be watching it through their phones lol. Makes no sense.

People don't want to miss anything so they miss everything so they can record it all with shitty audio so they can say they were there. They weren't really there though, they just turned up.

If we had smart phones back then we probably would have recorded stuff too, so I understand that's what they do now, but they're just missing out. I've got plenty of memories of the shows I went to, and I wish I had them on video, but it's okay that I don't.

Hell no, I was too busy rolling joints, drinking far too heavily and standing right next to the biggest speaker in the place. Its a wonder my ears still work and my liver too.

The tinnitus was real for a good whole day after anything I went to.
mine wasn't too bad, but lately after everything i go to it steps up another level - even wore earplugs to the last 2 things. bit jarring now ngl.

Also don't know if it's cause im listening in my vsx a lot --- i don't think i have them particularly loud or anything, but who knows.

Gotta be careful with headphones
 
If Keith Richards is still alive there's hope for all of us.

Makes me think though - I've been to way too many shows that had horrible sound. It was the typical soundman guy boosting the bass because it's a Hip Hop show and then the rappers all yelling to turn up their mics.
I've never had more trouble rolling a joint than at a Tim Westwood event, that shit was always bouncing all over the fucking place. Shame he got a bit touchy feely, I miss his sound system.

For me the issue is always these people who boost the high end just this nasty slashy sloshy snares and hats shredding your fucking ear drums. People who boost high end are scum
