There is NO hip hop album from the 80s I can listen to in full

[SirBiatch]

Your thread title is you can't listen to any album from the 80s in full.

Your comprehension is weak. As usual.

And rather than reading the posts to get the general gist of what I've been saying, which everyone else seems to understand, you shoot from the hip. In desperation to discredit anything SirBiatch says. as usual.

Thanks

I listen to a lot of genres too and they age just the same as rap ( which btw shouldn't be seen as negative )

As far as lyrics go most new rappers are pretty damn simplistic from a lyrical stand point (especially the ones in the mainstream). Kane, kool g rap, krs one, and rakim would rap circles around some of these new cats.

I strongly disagree, old school rappers are basic rappers, some were advanced but most were simpler than now. It's like at the advent of rapping people was still trying to master it down. You can't tell me kurtis blow and and people of that era are lyrically at a higher level than today's current rappers. I mean if you ignore the mainstream artist think of all the artist that are underground cult favorite multi syllable wordsmiths that don't get exposure , that level of lyricism wasn't around back then. People skate by on reps now, snoop dogg for example is one of the worst rappers but he is a known entity so that doesn't get brought into question.

Other genres age way more gracefully, not even sure how this is arguable. but your opinion

The reason being they sound dated is partially because you can tell most of them were not recorded in nice studios owned by big labels. Once the big labels saw it could be a huge money maker you started to see the quality of the recordings shoot up across the board. You had people who weren't just talented but also professionals get access to expensive sound equipment, writing pools, etc.

Theres people on here who front like they are listening to Melle Mel and the Furious Five all day, every day so I get part of the premise of the thread. I don't think most people on this message board listen to 80s albums start to finish on a regular basis.

Not one. Front to back. Can't do it.

The great albums that we all talk about (e.g. Criminal Minded, Great Adventures, Paid in Full, Straight Outta Compton, etc) all have 1, 2 or 3 blindly brilliant songs where EVERYTHING comes together: perfect beat, perfect flow and perfect rhymes. You've probably heard those songs already because everyone shared them and duped the shyt out of them.

But for the most part, there's stuff that feels straight up dated, out of place and/or 'filler'. Not always in a bad way. The turntablism on Paid in Full is OK at times. The innocent jokey songs like "Super Hoe" on a hardcore album.

This is a big reason why 90s rappers are so revered. They became ALBUM rappers as opposed to vinyl rappers.

Agree/disagree? And is there an 80s album you can play in full or close to full?

Someone asked what albums you can listen to in full.
You listed 5.
I followed up about that assuming that you were just giving a few examples. Nope, those are the 5 albums that meet your very high standard for listening to albums in full.

What am I missing?

reading comprehension. Are you autistic or something?

In case it wasn't super clear, I even spell it out again

And don't get me wrong - it's not like there is NO value in listening to Criminal Minded top to bottom. There's definitely value in doing so.

I"m just not gonna rush to play it endlessly like I do Supreme Clientele, Illmatic or even certain tracks off Live.Love.ASAP

How would you get the idea that I've never even heard these 80s albums ONCE? Especially when I say there's value in hearing these albums at least once top to bottom.

Then again, your first comment in this thread was 'negged' and then you tried to get cute answering Fred's question that was directed at me.

so are you done or you want to keep dancing in circles?

I guess Neneh Cherry (Eagle Eye Cherry's sister) was more 1990s BUT she had an album drop in the end of the 80s, Raw Like Sushi, that was nice. Everyone always credits Lauryn as being a beautiful writer, singer/femcee, and spoken word artists but that mulatto beat her to it, by almost a decade

True to everything you posted, especially the bolded.

I'm gonna tag @mobbinfms because he's been missing the clear premise of this thread. Bless his confused little heart.

Where did I ever say you NEVER listened to any of these 80s albums once. I'm assuming you've listened to any 80s album you're discussing here at least a few times to know which songs you like and don't like. Aren't you saying that after listening to them a few times to get a feel for them, you can't listen to them in full?
And what does "there is value in listening to Criminal Minded top to bottom" even mean?
You singled out Criminal Minded and tried to shyt on Super Hoe of all songs
Classic controversial title troll thread from you breh

And as usual, Billy Ocean contributes nothing to the discussion other than the word 'fakkit', 'troll' and '1 star.' Especially after seeing his girlfriend slobbin get pummeled in discussion.

 

[mobbinfms]

And you the first one to criticize someone for using smilies instead of engaging in discussion.
Enjoy that L breh.

When it comes to you, that's all that needs to be said. You a f@ggot troll that needs to be 1 starred every time you post.

 

[Billy Ocean]

Plus you a coward.

 

[SirBiatch]

Too bad you lames (@mobbinfms and @Billy Ocean ) can't go back in time and prevent this thread from being made. Be happy that at the very least, you can 1star and say dumb shyt from the comfort of your computer.

What's said has been said. It's been a great discussion and many agree with my stance. Sorry if that makes you feel defensive.

Best of luck to ya.

Now if we can get back on topic that would be nice.
