I know I would love to hear you re-bass some of the true OS rap. as it was a bit weak on sub bass in the beginning .....

Some rap is good....others I just don't bother.

Since the 90's, it has blown up. And still seeing new artists on a yearly basis.

2 Live Crew, N.W.A. pretty much carved the road for the rest.

The 90's was the best...

Todays rap/hip hop is pure sad and hard to even listen to.Not because i'm old school but because there's just nothing to it..

I grew up on stuff like 2pac, Biggie, Nas, Snoop and Dr. Dre from back in the day, Tribe called Quest, Hieroglyphics, Wu-Tang Clan, Raekwon, Jurassic 5, Dj Quik, immortal technique, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Ice Cube, Dilated Peoples, Dead Prez, Blackalicious, Supernatural, Sole, Slug, Deep Puddle Dynamics, Atmosphere, Binary star, Bone Thugs, etc..

These days I'll pretty much listen to anything because they have hard beats. It was all about who had the harddest lyrics when I was younger but I feel times have changed alot since then. There are still up and coming rappers these days that is still keeping the hip hop alive with the old school flavor still. Like Kendrick Lamar and J Cole. Hip hop is not entirely dead yet but it's definitely not the golden age anymore.

I listen to today's rap for the beats only. There is no message or depth in too much of the music. I understand music evolve with the listeners.
STORY TELLING:

I have to agree with you on this one, don't do it like this any more.
