Teenager listens to Mobb Deep for the first time

[spliz]

That’s hip hop though. It’s visceral. It’s a feeling. In the 90s when we were hearing all these songs for the first time that’s exactly how we reacted :prodigylol:
We didn’t talk about cadences and rhyme schemes, or try to analyze the shyt in some nerdy academic way. :prodigylol:
We said the 90s equivalent of “this shyt is hard Breh” :prodigylol:

Ionno fam. nikkas used to memorize and break down the rhymes back then. nikkas would rewind the verse if they felt somethin was fire or if they felt they missed somethin. When it comes to this kid if the shyt aint directly in his face its going fly right over his head. Son Nas flat said “I Gave You Power” is about a gun in the beginning of the song and the kid still aint catch it till like mid second verse. Lol

One thing that these cats right here do better than Kvng Guap is they actually try to dissect the lines and understand them. When Kvng Guap hears shyt he doesnt understand he either automatically tunes it out or he will say “its deep”. Alotta shyt flies over his head cause of this.

Exactly. These nikkas get it. This is that rewind factor I always talk about

Oh no doubt. We would definitely debate which verses were best and we would have that visceral reaction to crazy lines. But he does that in the videos. He stops the song and will repeat lines that he thought were dope.

My point is just that we wouldn’t get into super technical nerdy academic breakdowns in real life.

Ionno bro. I just think the kid is kinda dense. I mean he’s gonna be 19 this year. Some of the nikkas creating this classic music was his age. Prodigy was 19 on The Infamous. By the time I was 19 I had been writing my own rhymes for about 7 years. shyt just flies over this kid’s head and he doesnt really care to TRY to understand it is what I guess im tryna say. He just kinda lets it go. Lol

Some of it is slang and references to things that were before his time.
He might not be the smartest person.
But he’s smart enough to pick up on and appreciate what he can.

He said he’d never heard of Ghost before this and didn’t know where he was from
I’ll bet that’s typical for a 18 year old now I guess
