How many Rock bands do you like that were new in 1995 or 1996? I can't think of any. Rock sucked in the mid 90's and it was time for a change.

music is more about the money these days and what's new and what's going to sell more albums and make us more money.....i think rap is bigger now because in the 90's and even now all you here and herd was depressing music sometimes its good, but if that's what a generation is only about ppl are going to get tired of all the complaining and look for something else

I think Rap is starting to die off, slowly and painfully... unless the song in
is actually considered a good rap song by people who like rap.

Let me guess, it is.

Well, most Dirty South is pretty bad. But there are always people on the cutting edge of Rap keeping things interesting.

Hold on, you also got to give credit to rap during those years. There was some good rap out during those years. Those were the years of:

Snoop Dogg's Murder Was The Case Soundtrack

DJ Quik vs MC EIHT

Bone Thugs N Harmony

2Pac Me Against The World

KRS-One's "Step into the World" Rapture video came out.........which got me into breakdancing.

Enter The 36 Chambers

Return to the 36 chambers w/ Brooklyn Zoo

Ghostface Killah's Ironman

Tical

Only Built for Cubin Linx

The "Above the Rim" soundtrack which debuted Warren G and Nate Dogg

Outkast's SOUTHERNPLAYALISTICCADILLACFUNKYMUSIC

And the album that we have just discussed was released in 1997....WuTang Forever

yah..

to sweetness..

not all grunge bands are bad...

man I really hate rap, put a 'c' at the beginning of rap and what do you get CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HA! How original! Haven't heard that one before!

:lol::lol:

but, this does bring me to a quote from one of my biggest idols:

"Rap is crap, crap is Rap, and you can't spell crap without Rap so Rap must be crap." - Layne Thomas Staley.

However..

I dont agree with it..

there is some good rap music out there..

Its just the listener has to put down that fear of something new.. :rolleyes:

That's the quote I was thinking of.

So tell me, in your opinion, who makes good rap music?

I think Indie Rock took over in the 90s, bands like Oasis, The Verve, Blur, Morrisey, Ian Brown etc.

But credit to Rap music. To overthrow such a powerful genre of music was a great achievement...but i think rock is making its way back now...

Outkast.

Probably the greatest group of the 90's. Andre 3000 is a fucking genious, awesomely funky rap music. Love it.

I guess it's like every type of music, you get good and bad in each, rap has probably been spoiled by the commercialism that surrounds it, and everyone trying to break into the genre because it's popular. Also that type of music gets too much airplay (imo) so people get sick of it!

I agree with New Rose, I do like some of Outkasts songs, the tunes are great and Andre 3000 is a lyrical genius, I love Ms. Jackson and Roses
