I dont agree, this beat is so chill and smooth and lack of jnstrumental, you can rap under the beat, unlike other other beats where you try to syncronize the rhyme to the beat, here you can freestyle. I guess the technique its to rap under the beat and only upon at the ryhme of the verse. Im no expert, but do love the beat too

"While they be losin the race tryin to chase mass appeal..." Did u not understand the message of the song? 😉. Definitely also recommend "Hip Hop Fury" by GZA (1999) for a similar track that makes people quiet. You'll love it! And I've been to Amsterdam. Cool city. Nice people. Very trustworthy. I'm American from Los Angeles. I remember this one cab driver I had in Holland back in 1999 put on Kool Mo Dee in his CD player when he realized I was American.

This beat right here is classic. this is when real hip hop was alive and kicking. miss this era

Jorge Perez speaking the truth

[@thefogiscoming00]

Jorge Perez i wish i could've lived during this era of rap. Im only 14 but man am I glad my dad showed me this golden music. It bothers me that some kids my age disrespect these legends and they dont know much so theyre ignorant because their parents just never showed them or their parents are extremely young

[@davidr3359]

I'm a California dude and I'm sorry, but NY hip hop dominates any other region, especially during this 90s era. Pac, Dre, EZ, Snoop, etc have some great tracks, but doesn't compete with Nas, Guru, Rakim, AZ, Mobb Deep, Big Pun, Big L, Biggie, etc etc - so many legends that were leagues above the rest.

[@rochekalifa2074]

true true was coke vs diet coke

[@spiritualNaz]

I been telling ppl for years that NY hip hop in the 90s is like the galactic force literally every rapper and every rap group was different and lyrically gifted.

[@thienypham2738]

Even some abstract hip hop artists like Aesop Rock and Death Grips too, both also from NY, of course not just mainstream rap dominate

Sure you right. It's a shame that what ever you wanna call it had to come to this. I don't know why some people call it Hip-Hop when it's not. Most of these new cats from this generation that are either mumble rappers or trap rappers don't come out saying that their what they really are cause maybe their ashamed and knowing they'll get rejected for not being real

When you have a chance check out *Noveliss* from Clear Soul Forces from today's generation. He's one of the few who keeps his art old school. Check out his track One time i guarantee you'll like it

[@emanatingf]

@@frankmaseda3627 Exactly but there's way more than just him. First of all there's every other member from his group that deserve props who are Ilajide, L.A.Z. & Emile Vincent who have solo careers also. There's Mad Squablz, VI Seconds, Mega Ran, SkyBlew, Ethereal Universe, Sammus, Denzel Curry, Joey Badass, Chris Roach, Supreme Flows, Barlitos, Yakuza Moon, Kendrick Lamar, Bas, Isaiah Rashad, Bishop Negru, Me (soon as I'm an aspiring innovative Poet & MC) & many more that have yet to be discovered even by me *that are all over the map Worldwide.* *There's a whole world out there & the more you look beneath the surface & Dig In The Crates the more gems you'll find.* I believe this generation *(as someone who's apart of it, I'm 16)* gets very overhated, misunderstood & generalized instead of being treated & respected fairly as Individuals who are worlds apart from each other mentally, intellectually, mindfully & in many other separating, distinctive ways. There's way more to it than what you see by the naked eye.
