Hearing Cypress Hill described as old school hip hop just made me feel old 😆

We were a big greying crowd at their Roskilde Festival 2019 gig. No denying we're getting old but we can still rock out.

[@Squirrelconga]

Haha! In like 2010 I was managing a restaurant and listening to funk. One of the kids says: "this is cool! ..do you like hip hop?" I said "I do! I like old school hip hop, though" She goes "oh! Me too! Like Biggie n' Pac, n' stuff?!?" I was like "no. Like Run Dmc, Beastie Boys, Dana Dane." 🤣

Lex is very accurate. The local skater/stoner kids when I was growing up (in Cape Town) wore baggy pants with chains, and loved both Cyprus Hill, and Beavis and Butt-Head. They have the same vibe for me.

It's amazing how the generation born in the 90's and beyond know nothing about anything before they were born. I was a teen and the 80's and I was aware of music from the 70's, 60's 50's, probably earlier. Wasn't just me, everyone was in the same boat. There's definitely a reason(s). Wish I could figure it out.

[@antimonycup7066]

@jeff We had less choice. And because of that, we raided our parent's vinyl stash too. To find something fresh and new, you'd have to read obscure zines, go and actually listen to records in the 'wrecka sto', or get tipped by friends. Not even radio or tv so much, especially before MTV Late Night. And if you did find something that might be good, that's a whole week of allowance right there. Kids today have a million times more choice, and it's all basically free to listen to.

[@Dreyno]

I’m astounded by the ignorance. Even kids who consider themselves knowledgeable about music seem to have the flimsiest grasp of anything pre-2010. The entire history of recorded music at their fingertips and they don’t even scratch the surface.

[@musicmucker]

​@@Dreyno That incredible access to everything, along with the constant bombardment of so much new music (the most promoted of which is more deliberately engineered to be appealing), is why so many younger people have that ignorance. They aren't limited to a finite number of curated radio stations. It is like feeding a kid dinner every night by turning them loose in a vegas buffet with no supervision. You can't be surprised that they only eat desserts and never try seafood or vegetables.

[@Travelinmatt1976]

I think it has to do with music turning from physical media to digital. I would pull out my parents old records and reel to reel tapes all the time. It was physical. Kids aren't looking for their parents old Zune and zip drives, and they probably don't work anyway.

The song is built around many samples: a drum break from organist George Semper's cover version of Lee Dorsey's "Get Out of My Life, Woman"; a sample of James Brown grunting from the opening of his song "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud"; a sample of the line "insane in the brain" from Cypress Hill's own song "Hole in the Head"; the opening keyboard from Sly and the Family Stone's "Life", a sample of the line "I think I'm going crazy" from the Youngblood's' "All Over the World (La La)" which concludes the track and the most prominent sample throughout the song, a repeating sample of, in which DJ Muggs initially claimed, a pitched blues guitar,[6] although shortly after, he changed his story and claimed that that sound is a horn..

To what Lex was talking about, not having a feel for the era... the 90s weren't just one era. 1990 to the first half of 1991 was still holding on to the late 80s. On the east coast late 1991 through early 1993 was another era, but in the west, 1992 started off an entire era with The Chronic that lasted most of the decade. In the east, 1993 was when Wu-Tang "Protect Ya Neck" and Nas "It Ain't Hard To Tell" hit and then Big's "Juicy" and Illmatic in '94. That was an era that last until '98 or '99 when the Cam'rons and Eminems blew up. In the South you had even more regional diversity where early 90s Rap-A-Lot and Florida bass dominated, then Outkast took over in the mid-90s, and No lImit took over in the late 90s. And in the mid 90s you had a coast to coast indy underground movement that kicked off with groups like Company Flow (El-P of Run The Jewelz) and branched into labels like ABB and Rawkus which brought us Dilated Peoples and Blackstar, which artists like Evidence and Alchemist, and Talib Kweli and Mos Def came out of. Eminem was even working with Rawkus for a split-second. And this is a brief overview so it's even more complicated than all that, which I'm sure some commenters will go to the pains of pointing out below this. Whatever you're gonna post, I'm aware. I'm trying to sum up here. I can't cover everything. lol But yeah, if you can't get the feel of the 90s, it's because there is no one feel of the 90s. And most artists were trying to bring their own vibe to the table. It was cool to have your own sound back then. Versus now where everyone is emulating the same three people.
