Vince Staples: "90s Music overrated"

[Flight]

Vince trolls a lot but I'm not surprised by him saying that. He didn't even give a shyt about rap seriously until a couple years ago so I'm not surprised he doesn't care for the 90's. Rather him be honest about this than do some fake nostalgic act.

Vince Staples sucks

 

[Ghost Utmost]

Yeah. You can't dis the widely accepted Golden Era of Hip Hop and follow that with Bow Wow accolades.

"German cars are overrated. I never drove one, but I had this Hyundai when I was 19. I loved that Hyundai."

Let's keep it 100 though... Pushing all the mainstream shyt aside (Lil Bow Wow and 50 Cent can ) Dilla, Madlib, Kanye Just Blaze, 9th and Alc, really took hip hop to another level, musically.

As a hardcore hip hop fan, discovering alot of 2000s classics for the first time, like Lord Steppington, Connected, No Poison No Paradise, A Cold Day in Hell and some of Dilla's more obscure stuff... it's hard to go back to the 90s

I mean you compare an album like Dah Shinin, or Hell on Earth to the kaleidoscope of creativity that is Madvillainy... shyt aint even fair



Legends never die though - No one will ever be able to emulate what RZA and Dre did in their prime

I'm so confused by this post. How can Vince be trying to discredit Nore, when Nore was the first one to comment on Vince's choice of music at 9yrs old?

I thought that him saying that no one was messing with East Coast artists back then was petty and a lie. This would be the early 00s, he's talking about. I get why he'd retaliate after being called out by NORE tho. I think he's just trolling or following in line with the current mentality of youth to dismiss anything pre2000

Vince Staples doesn't know shyt about hip hop history

 

[head shots101]

Lol who is Vince Staples? I'm assuming he's born in 98 if bow wow is is favorite rapper......these rap dweebs man...

 

[NotaPAWG]

He said Bow Wow was the first rapper he listened to. That is not comparable to Young Thug wearing a dress or ASAP Rocky talking about racism doesn't exist anymore.

This is crazy that there is a 3 page thread on this considering that Vince Staples's entire discography is about the socio-economic hardships of black minorities.

im 30 and hes right

Who starts listening to rap at 12? Lol. I was listening to rap when I was 4. That's my first recollection of it. Y'all act like you have to be a preteen to get into music. I got my first rap album when I was 5-6.

Right, I was listening to Richard Pryor and on kind of shyt that wasn't for kids at like 6 and 7

80s baby, flattop me my nikkas

 

[Edub]

So what are u saying?

 

[Uncle Kendrick]

This is my problem with these wet behind the ears breath smelling like similac dudes. They jump into an art form that's well established and they act like what they spittin is groundbreaking. These new nikkas need to humble themselves and understand why 90s hip hip is revered as the golden age. It's not hype the music during that time speaks for itself.

But on the same token, a person that didn't grow up in the era also holds no credibility in trying to say it's overrated, because they didn't experience it and are purely speaking in ignorance.
