The internet, youtube, hip hop sites, myspace, facebook, twitter. Music is being heard and spread faster than ever before. The "demo tape" is obsolete, the struggle of a new jack is non existent, and music in general is evolving due to this. Remember when krs 1 got spat on by marley marl, and he came back with criminal minded and shitted on all of juice crew. Has that happened in the recent years of hip hop? Has the struggle and need to make yourself heard been as critical as it was back in the day? In my opinion I think the listener including all of us here are being way to lenient and dealing with "ok" songs and "ok" albums. Maybe its because we hear so much now a days and we have access to an unlimited supply of new music that we naturally grow to be "ok" with "ok" music. I don't know if its a bad thing or not, but to be honest I haven't heard shit that has had a big effect and was as groundbreaking as hip hop when it was beginning. Post your thoughts if you got any

I fully agree, i havent found an album in the last 5 years where i like more than 3 good songs on it. Its all just ok, nothing spectacular, nothing groundbreaking.

Quote (abanks47) 50 cent did it in a way with murder inc. Yeah I guess so, but I'm talking about the more underground music

Umm....good topic Adam....Not to sound like a dick rider or anything but the closest thing Ive listened to in the past years with any "groundbreaking" or "inspirational" music has been Shad..He made me see Hip Hop and life in general in a whole new retrospect.
I agree with u tho. Music that has an impact like it did in the golden era is nonexistent these days.
But then again...u gotta ask urself...back in 94' did Illmatic and Ready to Die get the acclaim they possess now or did it grow as time went on? We wont see any major effect of the music released now cuz its too recent and soon to have ANY impact at all.

Music really transformed me in the past 10 yrs, old and new school. JMT Violent By Design, Revolutionary vol 1 & 2, Cunninlynguists Dsicography, and BSBD as a group have really changed the way I see music in general and my ears are open to all. I think that a lot of the above are great albums and in some instances classics. I think its still pretty hard to get a break, i think its harder for some to stay passionate when they turn on the radio and hear BS playing a lot when the shit there pumping is crazy in comparison.

Come on abanks. You got have some standards bro, you can't just be open to all, because hip hop is about competition and just growing.

you also cant hold everything to the highest possible standard imaginable. Hip hop has grown and will continue to grow since the beginning which is why the sound is so different than it was in the beginning. it almost seems like (apologies if im wrong) like you want the good ol days back. never gunna happen, all music genres evolve. Im pretty proud on how hip hop has grown, not too proud that the bad hip hop (IMO) is on the radio and the good has to be searched for but it is out there and some of the beats and rhymes spat today are always getting better. also what do you mean i gotta have standards? are you implying that i have none? Theres tons of music that I do not like for many different reasons. i listed 4 artists combining for about 10 albums that spanned 10 years?

also forgot to add nomak and nujabes. the wave of japanese hip hop producers are amazing and also IMO some of the greatest music in the past decade

honestly i've found its the albums from the big artists that everyone expects to be good that are the ones that turn out to disappoint. its the more underground artists that i've enjoyed more. also think about this, i bet if half the "ok" albums of today came out in 1989 they would be considered classic

agreed, i think its almost harder to find good music today since as you put it theres such an over abundance of it out there today. were force fed a lot of BS until we can see past it and see the good shit
