I don’t know which era is back then. Don’t know the full specs of these deals but guys were moving units 25 years ago. Corporate money is better now and smaller artists are more tangible but a dude like noreaga sold 700k records his debut album. Artist budgets were wild. Advance $ was ridiculous. Producers were getting huge $ for beats.

Mad Oak used to be my spot to go watch Warriors gamesDidn’t know so many other NTers go there too. I stopped watching games there when you had to start getting there hours early just to get a decent spot to sit, otherwise you’d have to stand the entire time; is it still like that?
I miss the atmosphere, but I’m too lazy to go through all that effort to watch games these days
I slid to Mad Oak earlier this year in March. An NTer recommended me to go. It was a nice vibe in there. Caught the Dubs vs Spurs game that went down to the wire but they ended up losin when Spurs scored off a missed free throw with like 2 seconds left. Drinks were good and food was decent as well. Will double back again soon.

Giorgio, I spent 26 licks.
I’m too sexy.
My neck, baguettes.
Molest me, caress me
I’ll let you, todayski.

You can pick out trash lyrics from every era. It’s old head energy saying music is better from the past. It’s young dude energy to dismiss older music. Just need to enjoy what you enjoy.

Rappers weren’t getting paid less back in the day, it’s just easier to get your cut now…You don’t have to jump thru as many hoops and depend on some big label to cut you a check

You're missing the mark. Those early rappers are basically Bob Cousy. Bob Cousy shot 37% from the field for his career. Bob Cousy wasn't nice. He was just lucky to be there.
That's just me though everyone can cook and do what they want. The beauty of the iPod Era is that you are the curator of your own playlist for the majority of your music consumption.

Fair point.These two
So if someone has subpar lyrics and people think they are a GOAT but they never proclaim THEMSELVES to be lyrical assassins, that is superior to someone else with subpar lyrics who is also considered a GOAT and also said they are a master wordsmith?

To be clear, I'm not dismissing anything current. My point is simply that nothing has changed. My point aligns with what you're saying, that it's foolish to say 'Now is better!' or 'Back then was better!'
I do hate... HAAATE... autotune, though. I'll die on that hill.

Yup, all those hippity hoppity dudes. It doesn't move me personally, can't rock with it. Respect their contributions though they were the foundation and all that... but its trash to me.

That’s fair. That’s before my time. My first exposure was DJ quik, cube and DEATHROW. Then some LL. That made IMO has aged well. At least some of it. But then I’ll still check for a new artist too. Trying not to be a young old head like
nick.

It’s hard to compare the super early days tho, that was just the start and everything was new…Shout out to the OG’s for laying the foundation

All I'm saying, on this recurring topic, is some old heads revere this era based off sentimentalism and nostalgia as if it was peak era whereas it was just the beginning or early stage of this culture.
Were there some good MCs? Some of the greats. Were there trash rappers? Way more than the 40+ crowd's willing to admit.
This era we're in has wack and terrible rappers too
