DJ Shadow - Why Hip Hop Sucks In '96 Lyrics

Vaporwave, before Vaporwave

Very aesthetic

This scream sci fi 🤘🏻👀

Every frame a painting STILLbrought me here

This is the sound of the first good hit of hash!

It's more than than Hip Hop & Rap sucking... It's about how the World Bankers colonize the world.
If there's guns in your neighborhood, it's because the Colonizer wants them there.
If there's drugs in your neighborhood, it's because the Colonizer wants them there.
And if there's garbage Hip Hop & Rap in your "hood" ... (psyche... culture... space)... it's because the Colonizer wants them there.

Aristotle once said:
"... You write the laws, but let me write the songs,
because the youth will act out the songs."

Life imitates Art. Dream higher than wearing Mainstream's Shadow.

I just figured out why DJ shadow chose this track for "Why Hip Hop Sucks in '96". Cleo McNett is obviously a skilled musician. We get that from listening to this track. He played each and every one of those instruments and dubbed them all together. Cleo was never famous. If you look on the internet, you won't find anything about him besides a few tidbits. Time will go on and nobody will ever wonder who Cleo was or care about the beautiful music that he made. The same goes for many other musicians out there. Hip Hop sucked in '96 because eventually record companies stopped making the good musicians famous. They stopped paying people with originality and started seeking musicians that played what they thought the mainstream would want to hear. THINK ABOUT IT.

Ian Kowalczyk - Then can you please explain why 90's hip hop put out all the monster classics that are still untouchable to this day? This era was the peak of hip hop talant. Plain and simple, Shadow majorly fucked up on the title of the song. And I never purchased another one of his albums.

Pikachu surprised face

You know, it's the moneeeey

Now if only I could replace the track with this one on my DJ Shadow record. I always hate how some of the best beats leave you wanting more and more of it.

Worst offender: Lockdown by Cypress Hill.

thats why they are the best beats

Sample: _There's a DJ in Your Town_ by *Samson & Delilah*

damn that's awesome

I suspect the people from back in the day found just what they were looking for. I know I did.  Awesome.
