Years later what are your thoughts on the ring tone/snap era of hip hop?

[AP3.0]

Not all my music I consume has to have substance with some lyrical content at the forefront.

Sometimes I like ignorant shit that doesn't have to make sense.

 

[5th Letter]

Then you're making two separate arguments

Is your argument the album as a whole is overrated

OR

Calling it a classic is overrated?

No I’m not. No one calls Macklemore album a classic. Imo the album is aight but no where near classic. Better albums from that year don’t get called classic.

Ok so you don't think it's a classic.. Cool

But to you, as a body of work, do you feel it's overrated?

Yes.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Man idc if it was good. Were the females at the parties/clubs dancing to it?

Yes

Was I behind said females while they were dancing to it?

Yes

You can't even answer if the music was good just tells me you know it wasn't.

 

[BlackRain]

This is funny because during this time is when you’d see an ass load of niggaz dressed alike going in tha club wit their “snap dance” crew throwing their snaps and dips to each other across tha club…

Tha era leading up to this was tha “grindin’ on females” era lol

Lol I mean niggas just did what people in the time before them did. People was coming to parties and clubs with prepared routines to songs. That shit ain't appear in all them 90s movies with anything hip hop themed out of nowhere.

 

[AP3.0]

Yes.

Ok

So like I said, you are making two different points

I can agree it might not be a classic but to say it's overrated as a body of work is where I disagree

 

[AP3.0]

Fam if you wanna keep rapping a cypher in a circle in the middle of the floor with ya niggas, then just say that

Nah…that was tha 80’s and break dancing crews lol

Don’t forget niggaz in tha 90’s were parodying people fucking on dance floor lmao

Was that music good, answer the question?

 

[dodge]

Lol the late 80’s had niggas grinding on bitches with that Ted Riley shit

 

[5th Letter]

Ok

So like I said, you are making two different points

I can agree it might not be a classic but to say it's overrated as a body of work is where I disagree

These were the best songs imo.

Spoiler: But FR

Nah but really I'm one of the oldheads too

I was too busy knocking them down after pulling chicks out of the club during that era

it was just too easy back then so I don't understand why my fellow oldheads got so much hate for the snap era

even the 40+ old mommas today still jumping for Boosie whenever "Wipe Me Down" starts playing

MYSPACE?! Lol…I was in tha club from Weds thru Sunday and running tha streets lol…I didn’t even find out about YouTube until like ‘07-‘08 smh lol

I’m not sayin’ I didn’t pull chicks in tha club durin’ that era…I’m just sayin’ I pulled girls in other eras that didn’t require tha females to be distracted by “snap n pop” boy groups to do so

 

[Word....Life]

Buuuut I WILL say I’m glad I was in tha clubs back then as opposed to now tho cuz I’m sure it’s whack af dealin’ wit’ fake asses and blickys wit tha extended clips everywhere lol

 

[MorganFreemanKing]

Nah shit was ass. Shit was so weak parody songs were popping up that were better then the songs they were parodying.

 

[Duwop]

Lol shit was fun
