I think its the vocals that didn't age well. I don't care much for Koopsta Knicca and some of Lord Infamous melodic vocals like that anymore either. They beats still go hard.
exactly. I used to shyt on 3 6 Mafia because I thought their vocals were trash and the mainstream stuff I always heard/was recommended to me sucked. The Booth gave shytty recommendations because 99% of people here don't really listen to hip hop like that. It's only when I dug into underground vol tapes that I started seeing why 36 deserve their respect. Some of those early beats still go hard as fukk.
The fukk do Bone Thugs bring to the table? Vocally they were shyt. and their production was shyt. End of story.
