I don't understand this whole, 'ageing' thing with music?

[CELL]

Ohhhh so because it came out 10 years ago you can't listen to it because something 'aged' badly?

Music changes, why does your taste? Stop dikkriding waves and listen to whatever you stupid ignorant children.

 

[Zach Lowe]

All that means is that the music was following trends of its time and as a result sounds bad now that the trends have changed

with the exception of few artists, i still bump earlier cds i was listening to dmx first 2 cds the other day, the same for ludacris, especially lil wayne imo with some artists their early material is their best i can't get on board with some of the bs thats out now guess its cause of my age cause im 33

Heard some old wu tang/rza on the combat jack show today, ain't listened to wu tang in ages.

Music nearly blew my mind like the first time I heard it.

Music that, 'trends' and lacks originality sounds horseshyt from the day it comes out. It doesn't need a decade of fermenting for us to realise.

Because all of the garbage out now I usually go back to older albums and them shyts sound beautiful.

Just went through Redman's first 3 joints and couldn't stop had to hear them all consecutively

Drums were much harder back then

much better than this kind of shyt



sounds comparatively like a crackhead banging all over the pads on his MPC

Embarrassing rap fans just love hating on anything they don't love

 

[SoulController]

some does, some doesnt

theres shyt from 2006 that sounds dated (chipmunk samples) but Follow the Leader is 3x as old and is timeless.

They only say this because they weren’t around when it dropped….it’s their way of shytting on the past because they weren’t around to comment on it with any semblance of foundation.

Cause, yunno, in TODAY’s hip-hop, reverence for the past is considered ridiculous.

 

[Jerz-2]

And anyway, this isn't exclusive to rap.

Depending on the PERIOD that a piece of music came out, yes, it most certainly can sound dated.

So what.....they don't think some of those hair band songs from the 80s sound dated as fukk now? Don't think 90s grunge sounds dated? Don't think some mid-1980s R&B - complete with synthesizer backing - sounds dated today?

I came across that old Michael Cooper album while downloading MP3s to my phone (yunno, the one with "Dinner For Two" and "Oceans Wide" on it?)...I was like "OH shyt, THIS WAS MY JOINT!"

I played them shyts, man....

Synthesized hell.....

I think the terms mean that the music was hot back then but you cant listen to it now because it just doesn't excite you anymore.

This happens with songs made off of a trend...like "Lean wit it, Rock wit it" was a hot ass song back then cause I was in the parties/clubs and it was fun to listen to...it was a fad.

Im older now and that fad expired so I don't get that hype off the song unless its nostalgia. Now music from 2pac, Biggie, Scarface, Jay-Z and Nas are, in most cases, songs that age well because the styles weren't based on a fad. Its based on emotion and creativity which never go out of style.

Music. timeless. every genre has classics from all decades. I don't think anyone who's heard music just somehow wasn't exposed to previous generations of music. If that's the case, what are you doing letting them hold a conversation with you?
