Hip-Hop has been dropping 20-30 great projects every single year since 2014. So unless one of my favorites are dropping, Nas, Common, Thought, Clipse as of recently, I’m not going back in time 95% of the time
Understandable
Not sure why mainstream feels the need to make 4-5+ minute tracks for an entire album
It was normal before peoples attention spans turned to s***

Can't relate. There's a lot of gems in older music that hit different as you're living in different settings and growing. And many albums are seasonal for me too. Like I'll always run through The Infamous in the winter time, along with other 90s albums. I have a pretty good balance of staying grounded in the present while also still living with albums of the past. Plus there's a lot of "new" music from back then that I still discover

CD sales and Million dollar budgets for music videos were normal too

My man!
It’s just what I do. Why listen to artists who make albums full of skips??

I completely get it. With a kid and responsibilities now, I don’t have the time to throw on a Roots + Mos + Fantastic Vol 1 & 2 playlist for nostalgia sake like I did 5 years ago during the Pandemic. But just because they were doing something 30 years ago doesn’t mean that also has to be the standard for Rap today
so you listen to every album, every time, from track 1 to its ending?
Yeah unless I’m interrupted from listening to music during my day or if it starts on an intro that’s not a full song
Once I’m free again I’ll continue the album from where I left it

At least a lot of examples on here where Cole utilized all that time too. I don’t think a song should be long for the sake of it but it does low them to stretch out their creativity and vision. I get pissed seeing 2 minutes songs all up and down an album these days just screams phoned in
TOS & TFO>Cole's 2010s albums
Hmmmm
Seeing people hate on Cole for being “performative” is so interesting to me. I think it’s a lot of younger folks that can’t relate to what “normal” was for the millennial generation. I think it’s honestly made me resonate with this even more because honestly this is like a f*** yall imma do me and my vision type album which I appreciate in an era where it’s very easy to just meet the quotas of trap beat standard features talking bout nonsense

Yeah normal raps hit when you get older imo. Cole perfected that daily rap vibe that’s universal for everyone.

Performative is just the new buzzword that people on the Internet like to use.
A lot of this is f***in hard boys.
