What would you like to change about Hip Hop? (The Source Magazine 1996)

[Still Benefited]

Hip-Hop production being less advanced and inferior now is your personal opinion.

Also there are literally schools for audio engineering and music production today.

its a fact homie,it took more talent and knowledge of music to do what those guys did,they was playing real instruments after all breh


and those schools let anybody in,maybe school was a bad choice of words.....i mean something more like the X-Men school,where we take the brightest black musicians ,put them in one facility and get a Quincy Jones type nikka to show them how to come together to make classical hiphop beats.

and get a Suge type of nikka who wont let them leave until they do

It was so hard to get on in the 90s.

Before CDs and hard drives. We used to use ADAT (tapes) for masters.

High quality recording equipment was so rare and expensive, you had to be certified legit before you even thought about a studio.

Proliferation of pro tools and FL weakened the product.

 

[I love Latina women]

The focus on maintaining the integrity and authenticity of the music.

Then shyt got 100x worse and people stopped saying anything

Yup.

1. Pretty much everything that's wrong or immature being cool and pushed

2. Pretty much everything that's right or mature being corny and almost obsolete

3. The target demo being 16-24 and labels and artists only placating that demo with their music

4. Swag >>>> Everything

You got funk, R&B, Jazz and other forms of music that claim to be hip-hop, but only a few people is on hip-hop. A lot of people rap.
