some dude said in my barbershop that almost all '80s rappers rapped about the same shyt..

[wizworld]

dude was around 24 probably and he said '80s rappers rapped about the same shyt. he said that rappers like Rakim and Big Daddy Kane just rapped about rapping or battling nikkas or saying they were better than the next rapper. he then proceeded to say that Slick Rick, and Kool G Rap were the only rappers to not about the same shyt other rappers were rapping about.
the old heads sonned his ass real quick tho


what you think brehs ?

That's ridiculous. All these artists I listed below blew up in the late 80's. If you can look at this list and still think everyone was rapping about the same stuff, you're an idiot.

Rakim
Boogie Down Productions
De La Soul
Public Enemy
Too Short
Ultramagnetic MC's
NWA

That's music and life in general

Shiit we talk about same shiit all day and everyday

 

[Flav]

85 to 95



The best ten years of HipHop.

 

[CHICAGOrilla]

He ain't lyin tho

What else did 80s rapper rap about?

Don't say the message either because that the only one.

Edit: I take this back. I just read dude post and I ain't know De La Soul, NWA, and Ultramagnetic MC's came out in the 80s

when you really analyze it most genres speak about the same things over and over...the delivery and presentation is what makes it appear different.

 

[Prince Cairo]

85 to 95



The best ten years of HipHop.

Hell nah

 

[nawshus]

80's rap is awful.​

 

[Nobodyknows]

Whether that's the case or not (I've not listened to enough 80's rap to comment on that..)
I'd much prefer it. It brings out the competitive spirit the genre doesn't have right now

 

[avon barksdale]

so all these 80's songs sound the same

Just a few examples to dead this silly ass discussion.

Melly Mel's last verse is still one of the greatest in hip hop history.














Can y'all spot Lauryn Hill?
