what ive gathered from watching way too many reaction vids the last few days from teenagers, old people and people that have never listened to rap:
they love Pac...his voice, his subject matter, his flow....a few have teared up over Brenda's Got A Baby and Dear Momma in particular...and they seem to appreciate him as a lyricist which i love cause the "2pac aint lyrical but you feel him" shyt be killing my soul
they kinda meh on Biggie...until they hear Notorious Thugs which then puts them onto Bone, who they are mindblown by...Ive seen multiple reactions like that.basically wondering how Bone could rap that fast and still be lyrical
they think Nas is dope but hard to follow..love the flow, just dont know what he saying most of the time
they respect Jay but dont like him and its mainly because they really only know him from Magna Carta and a few have said his voice is wack
then they hear renegade or takeover and start to change their mind
the fukked up thing about Jay is his catalog is largely inaccessible, so kids are judging off his flabby years and clean singles
most that never heard of WuTang react to Cream...prefer Deck over Rae
they also flip out over bars and beats that i think we take for granted cause we grew up in that era....and they aint really heard or hearing shyt like that right now
and now i need a long ass break from the internet
Bone had some shyt back then
cats starving for well crafted beats and wordplay in a world where everybody got the same 3 styles and you can only tell them apart by how goofy/retarded they look.
