What period of rap now sounds dusty and retro y'all?

Zigefresh

For me it's anything before 50s debut.

What's yours people?

SiriuslyHiii

I'ma 90's baby, so anything before 94 is just dated to me.

I barely like illmatic and RTD, but i act like I do so i can blend in with Hip Hop heads.

vslyke

Anything before Paid In Full.

Peezy_Jenkins

some 90's east coast rap, no hate

ROZAYTABERNACLE

Most shit before 00's. I still like 90's shit and some 80's shit but it still sounds dated. 00's might be to other people, but I'm nostalgic about that shit cause that's when I fully got into hip hop

ohhhla

None because I'm not faggot who relies on feelings and nostalgia factors.

Busta Carmichael

no day of the week will you catch me listening to, "i said the hip-hop the hibby"

fuc_i_look_like

anything pre mid 90s.

NoCompetition

None really. I was a lil kid in the early 80s. Sometime they play like "planet rock" in the car. Takes me back love that song and other oldies from the entire 80s. Probably cause i hear them so seldom they always sound fresh. I wouldnt wanna own those songs but to hear them every now and then is cool.

To me 1992 was they year before we went from the old school flow (Rakim, early Tribe, De La Sol,etc) to new school sound. Production changed up and became more advanced too.

88-93

Bklyn's_OX_KING

Neither, born in 81 and got mad love for the 80's but I'm trapped in the 90's type nigga. It was so Vintage, Nostalgic, so many iLL styles, so many classics I never get tired of it and will never sound outdated to me.... 00's was pretty cool and 10's seem kind of skittish but will probably turn out ok.

no day of the week will you see me listening to a nigga that starts his songs out by screaming "OHHHHHHHHH GAWWWWD, DO IT"

fatherless heathens.

"Come on baby bubba, come on, uh uh uh ha"

lmfao

lamontbdc

i wouldn't say a period but just certain artists in certain periods shit sounds dusty. Like Onyx shit sounds dusty to me now but that whole period isn't dusty

Alot of that No Limit shit did not age well, it just sounds low budget and mass produced.

lamontbdc

Yea the majority of no limit shit didn't hold up

BlackAX410

born in 92 I hate a majority of 80's rap. da way they rhymed just annoyed da fuck outta me lol dat hippy to the hippity hop shit basic ass lyrics wit basic beats didnt stand da test of time to me. Outside of Public Enemy, LL, SOME Kool Moe Dee, nd Kool G rap i cant fuck wit 80's rap heavy

32DaysOfInfiniti

Groups like Run DMC, Kid N Play, Digital Underground...

Also all the shit that was gimmicky and trendy seems old now, like Fabolous in the early 2000's and his style of dress, anybody rapping about throwbacks, crystal, Ja Rule, Chingy, Nelly...

Jermaine Dupri is also notorious for making dated sounding music from the second he puts it out

I hate threads like this. How come people are always trying to retire and shelve rap music all the time? You don't ever hear anybody talk about The Beattles sounding dated. Hell you have white artists trying to recreate that old sound and shit. You want to say the hippity hop shit is dated, but I'll put any of them old school cats up against some of these current stars! How can something sound dated yet a lot of these rappers steal beats and lyrics from the older shit?

ILL_Anvers

The 80's

Not hatin', most shit from the 80's just sounds wack to me.

I along with many others, think the Beatles first 2 years of music making (about 15 albums and 20+ million records sold) sound dated compared to the wrest of their collection...

Maybe you just dont have an eclectic enough understanding of music to realize this isn't a hip-hop exclusive question but this does happen to be a hip hop forum so why would we talk about what sounds dated in another genre?

You're just sounding butt hurt bro
