I don't know if I'm reading too much into it or if it even was intentional at all but I like how you ended the video with Dr. Carter by Lil Wayne. The entries before it were all about "hip hop is dead" and how its a shame while Wayne's song is more positive and ends with him basically saying "hip hop isn't dead"
0) good call on the last pick! i has completely forgetten that song! 1) i think the “WHAT THEY DO (the WITH TEXT) version)” music video deserves mentioning🤣. if you havent seen the version of the roots’ video with the subtitles, IT is the one to watch. it’s a brilliant parody of P Diddy’s vision for hip hop. by 1996, many of my faves in their 20s were “oldheads,” based on their conservative views about rap music (Gang Starr, De La Soul, Jeru tha Damaja). i remember people being passionate about there being a difference between rap & hiphop. some still are 🤦🏾♀️ smh. one of the first songs in this vein that i liked was “i used to love her” by common (1994). resentment, anger, and bitterness can inspire great art. but usually, by the time the appropriate creative usage for the anger is found, it has likely already poisoned its carrier-the anger’s first casualty. since nothing can stop time from marching on, when we allow (the music of) our pasts to define us, it’s normal to feel rejected and abandoned. oldheads want to focus on what’s “wrong” with the new, because people having less people honoring what was good about the old threatens to invalidate what it means to “be,” on an existential level.
The Jive Turkey isms of it ALL!!! As a early 80s baby/90s kid! This makes me feel 👴🏾👴🏾👴🏾... Black & white TV with a switch board (no remote control), rotary phone, Etch A Sketch, Game Boy sh*t of it All lol 😅

Dr.cartel really one of the most unique song in hiphop the concept is crazy and the beat bulid up also a very great It's actually reminded me with great song for jayz called Dopeman from volume 3 .
It’s all about what u in a mood to hear now days..it’s sooooo much music that we now have options id rather listen to shit I can vibe to rather than conscious bs
I've been living my life perfectly fine for the past 15 years not playing GTA 4 or GTA 5 kid. I don't have plans on buying GTA 6 either. Is that some huge deal I should be worried about too ?????
@@laborless I believe you......but I'm good lmao. I'm not about to download GTA 5 because everybody thinks it's an amazing game. I've never been interested in playing it and I'm not about to randomly play it now lol. I'll stick to my Atari and playing Asteroids at my local corner store.
I've seen a lot of people say that LA and NY are actually really mid/trash and "If you think those are good games then you're just blinded by nostalgia" I haven't played either one since I was kid but I don't remember any problems with them lol.
@@AmiriHipHop I remember NY having major glitch issues but I still managed to beat it multiple times. And playin as Snoop Dogg in LA was always so funny for me as a kid.
Young people, if you want to end an argument with an old person on music, bring up Onyx. Aaaalllaaatta fumbling. The music was well put together but holy shit. Just all the worst messaging . I was 13 when it came out and listened. 😢 I was whistling "push it" at 9 or 10. Us older folks ain't shit either.
Imo while Carter 3 IS overrated I think Carter 4 and 5 are WAYYYYYYY worst.. The bigger point imo is while 3 and beyond are suspect Carter TWO has NO SKIPS… And yeah I have went back through Wayne as a adult I agree a lot of stuff was trash cause it was so random but he said it confidently lol.. Carter 2 was the last time he actually TRIED and you can tell tbh..
Yeah i even massively disagree with that. Carter 5 is a very overhated album. It has Wayne's more personal and heartfelt songs on it. And Carter 2 is LOADED with skips as well. While it does have some of Wayne's HARDEST tracks like Get Over, Tha Mobb, Fly In - Carter 2 - Fly Out, Hustler Muzik, Receipt and Best Rapper Alive, there are still several songs on that project that are just "cool" and that's it. I seriously don't see how you can listen to songs like Weezy Baby, Oh No, Lock & Load, I'm A Dboy, and Mo Fire and say those are all great songs. Tracks like those 5 for sure bring down Carter 2 in my opinion.
@@AmiriHipHop They blend in to the "ascetic" imo.. It's like good kid madd city.. Not all songs are hits nor fire. However for the direction of THAT album it was a perfect fit.. It's how I feel about the Carter 2.. Afterwards.. 3 and forward just were too randomly thrown together imo..
@@ktdagoat1289 Aesthetic is the word you were looking for lol. But yes I totally see what you mean homie. Those songs fit the overall vibe of Wayne being a young street dude/hustla from New Orleans. A man that was finally making his own strides in his career instead of being attached to Cash Money all the time, he was releasing his own hits and carving his own lane. I TOTALLY get that. My problem is that they "blend in" to point where they just become generic and forgettable. Another song that I didn't list earlier but I honestly think it's just a mid track is "Hit Em Up". That entire song is just about dealing with snitches in the hood and letting people know that in the streets, if you run your mouth too much you gone get dealt with. And that's my problem. Most of Carter 2 is gun bars and talking about violence in the hood such so it becomes very repetitive. Hit Em Up is literally just an "ight" song. It's not "fire", "great", "fantastic" none of that. It's just "cool". That's how half the songs on C2 are to me. Just "cool" street bars.
As a old head 44, We don't just listen to "These new niggas fucking the game up!" songs lol. But it's hilarious seeing young folks perspective. That said, the Mid 2000's was TERRIBLE. Mainstream and Underground. It wasn't like 2024, where you can just go find the hip hop you love EASILY because of the internet so you don't have to bitch and moan about it as bad. But I get it, Our generation doth protest too much and did a lot of the same shit. My only critique, you trying to make GTA IV and V "Old head" shit lmao! I played those True Crime games. LA was TRASH, NYC was a classic and had the real NYC street by street (was funny. going past friends neighborhoods). Sleeping Dogs is trash. And For us my age, Lil Wayne was polarizing. Some loved him, others like me thought he could flow, but he wasn't rapping about nothing for real, just putting words together real slick. So I agree with your LIl Wayne Take 100%

It's actually reminded me with great song for jayz called Dopeman from volume 3 .
Whaat I gotta revisit The Carter video, I thought you woulda mentioned Mrs.Officer at the end that my song right there 😂
You've never heard me say that I think that's a good song lol.
9:27 It’s funny because people say Em’s music play in the clubs but ignore that this is the type of people that club music appeals to
Drake tried to claim he brought singing with rapping. When Bone Thugz originally came out with it. How many rappers were/are influenced by Drake?
Hip Hop by DJ Khaled feat. Scarface and Nas would probably be a good fit for this list.
I must admit I didn't know where you were going with this but it's definitely dope thanks for the great content
One song that fits the description of this video is “I Miss The Game” by the Problem, Hustla; Cassidy
Carter 3 was amazing for its time but it definitely has bunch of skips. Let the beat build is lowkey the best song to me on C3
😂😂 😂
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks that about C3. 1, 2, and some songs on 4 >>>>
same
Excuse me ✋ I accidentally stepped 🥾 on your white sunglasses ⚪️🕶️ We don’t 🚫 wear those over here 🙅 This is hip hop 🎤
It’s all about what u in a mood to hear now days..it’s sooooo much music that we now have options id rather listen to shit I can vibe to rather than conscious bs
I’m going to show my dad this. 😂
When he said sho ya right i spit my drink out 😂 we not that old bruh 😂😂😂
I'm surprised to see someone finally call that out lmao.
Hopsin even made a skit on one of his albums called “no words” that touch on this too lol
Why do we act like RAP is the only music we listen to / the only music that we created? We created R&B , JAZZ, SOUL, NEO SOUL, BLUES ETC
17:37 😭
Nah you know what ? Soulja was actually right on that clip. Rare w
Yeah I guess that would be one of my biggest unpopular opinions because I actually agree with Soulja's point on that too.
Old heads ain’t bumping that blame myself too much autotune lmfao
People from the East Coast can’t stand Snap/Crunk/Southern hip hop especially dances Crank Dat.
I fucking hate all that whack shit
Nah that’s the older generation that grew up in the 80s/90s
Yup Em is right, if the lyrics are tight but the melody ain’t hitting, I’m out😭😭😭
Fr. If the lyrics are hitting but nothing else is take that shit to a spoken word open mic or something.
Fr if all you got is words write a poem or something
