Yeah, it's just generally less conducive to weird tribe mentality. I cringe whenever someone calls themselves a "redditor" or a "/b/tard" or what have you
Rare enough that I had to rehost it on YouTube just to keep it out there. I know nothing about the band themselves, but this song has always struck a chord with me
There's so much stuff out there in so many different styles that I really can't imagine how someone could possibly dismiss the entire genre. Most people start out with late 80s-early 90s Jazz Rap like De La Soul and the aforementioned ATCQ, but unfortunately a lot of people also get stuck there. Hip Hop evolves exponentially, and there's so much crazy stuff coming out in both the mainstream and underground (terms that are quickly becoming irrelevant) that there's gotta be something relateable to you somewhere. I guess what I'm saying is anyone feel free to ask for suggestions or recommendations. I live for that kind of shit.
I have to believe it's been dead for quite a while, simply for the fact that the only time I ever hear it mentioned is when someone brings it up for nostalgia
I'm a pretty big fan of the feeling you get when you step into a hot shower after waking up on a cold winter's morning. Nothing better.
