Just curious...
What makes music good to you?
What is the last track you heard that make you get excited about hip hop again?

I think this was what they were talking about in reference to new board members...be nice guys.
I think that Black Milk is definitely doin dope things.
The new El-P album was very dope and honestly the first full album I have ever had of his. Gonna have to re-visit his older stuff.
From what I heard that Evidence LP sounds pretty nice. Gotta cop it.
Everything else I have heard lately has just been sub-par, un-original or straight boring. Kats need to really start innovating.

i like originality, ingenuity... something that moves me in some way. i find lots of shit really boring and some good overall, but few that really make an impact.. i like nobody's production style a lot, funky shit
1) music is good to me when it either transports me to another time and place or when it actually intensifies and enhances the moment i am in here and now. good music is some good shit.. so no matter how much music or shit you've had in the past, when you hear some good shit for the 1st time, there is a noticeable and instant high.. like the 15-year pothead stating "oh yeah.. that's some good shit right there" even though it will never compare to his very first high.
2) "take notice" j-dilla f/guilty simpson

Wow, how outta hand did this thread get? Because this;

is comedy.
A valid reason behind the whole hhid phenomenon is the fact that suburban kids who grew up getting trophies for riding pine on last place soccer teams are coming of age and acting like everybody owes it to em to care about the bullshit music and theories they've concocted over the couple years they've been seriously listening to hip hop.
This minor rant may be totally out of place and I respect what Access is doing on here, but last time I checked "feelings" weren't one of the four elements. I came up in more of a sink or swim atmosphere and that's how I prefer it because it separates the wheat from the chaff pretty quick, at least in terms of heart.
Some shit deserves a good sonning... and people are better off learning how to deal with it instead of being shielded from it.
Life in teh Sco must have really tested Patch's tolerance.

The other day, I listened to Fugees, The Score for the first time in months and it made me very happy. All I was trying to do was see what kind of new stuff y'all have been listening to that made you feel sort of the same way.

Actually I think the problem is the total opposite... real life is so great my tolerance for teh internets and it's hip hop bullshit is reaching a breaking point.
TM I meant no disrespect to you, aside from getting a hilarious visual of somebody "getting excited about hip hop again."

OK. Well this thread obviously didn't go the route I had planned. My phrase "get excited about hip hop again" wasn't meant the way it was interpreted. I was just trying to spark some conversation about the crap on the radio and real hip-hop. MY BAD!!! :)

Nah, kats who have been around for a minute just came from a different era of hip-hop. Sometimes they get real defensive and look for any excuse to try and "son" anyone they can cause they feel like their cultures been stolen. Which, in truth it kind of has. You can't take anything on this board too seriously. Hip-hop is alive and kicking, that's all that matters.

Most Definitely Hip Hop is Alive. It's only dead on the radio and tv.

yup...
alive in the form of
1. the underground scene
and
2. cats with longevity in the game that have been around a decade plus.
as far as radio and new mainstream shit goes, then yeah its pretty much on live support with the machine beeping and tubes coming out everywhere, in a straight up coma, the whole nine. but as we all know, 90% or so of hiphop on the radio is garbage and that percentage is steadily increasing.

good music to me is something i feel that has never been done before...not completely...and not as if i've heard everything either...but, if theres something new in a song, beats or lyrics or the way the two come together...its good to me because its different...it makes it timeless to me...if i can play something for someone and ask them what year they think it came out...or better yet..what decade...and they can't tell...its done its job.

It just reminds me of that "making the band" show where Puff Daddy of all people was tryin to school all those kids on the "roots" of hip-hop. He said you weren't hip-hop if you couldn't recite "the message" line for line. What if kats just have a bad memory? And what the fuck has P Diddy done for hip-hop?
