whar era of rap is worse the hammer /vanilla ice era or the 50/nelly era - ProjectCOVO.com Global Forum

Since you cats on this site hate everything 50 an nelly have done for hiphop an think that they are wack an corny as fukk do you think hiphop is at its lowest point?even lower than the early 90s when hammer an Ice sold 10s of million of records also add markey mark an I will throw in black eyed peas so whats the verdict what era of hiphop is worse to you sohh cats

I don't know because during the Hammer era I was too young to care, I loved Hammer's stuff.

On the other hand I hated Nelly's sh*t.

Hammer didnt spit nursery rhymes over exspensive no limit beats to my knowledge.

The "Nelly" era.

The Nelly and 50 era is worse because we don't have the Native Tongues around now to keep things fresh

Once again, no one ever rapped about old mcdonald and his farm until the late great Nelly the cow

Sorry but "might as well have fun cause your happiness is done and your goose is cooked" doesnt make for fresh, despite good production and that i like the way you moved was a total lets sell to the spanish market move*plays some horns*

Quote: : the roots ,talib an mos an Kanye an outkast have all been in this era to keep things "fresh" Talib's career has been a downward spiral since Train of Thought, Mos Def hasn't released anything noteworthy since 1999, The Roots have released 2 albums since 1999 and neither of them have even been top 10 in their respective years.

Kanye is doing his thing, but comparing him to the entire Native Tongues posse is laughable. By the way, no one is saying that Hammer and Vanilla Ice were better than 50 and Nelly because they weren't....it's just that the rest of Hip Hop has fallen along with Nelly and 50, while it was better than ever at the time of Ice and Hammer.

90-92 Uhh when did I ever say I was listening to Hip Hop during that era?

I'm going by observation of the albums that came out at that time.

Let's see, proabably 7-9 during the Hammer and Vanilla Ice era.

What does that have to do with me knowing about the Native Tongues? You do realize that people can actually GO BACK AND LISTEN to older music, right?

You do realize that music exists in tape and CD format, and it can be reflected on by a later generation, right?

You do realize that there has been a large amount of literature written about Hip Hop, right?

You do realize you got mf doom waving a machete in your avi right
