Feel the same, pal.

It has lost its edge and soul, somehow trying change the game. There's nothing wrong with new styles and format, but these days, nobody has anything interesting to say and almost everyone sounds like they're copying each other.

I'm bored of today's 'Hip Hop'.

I'll just keep 'Diggin' in the Crates' til something catches my ear again.

Pro Era and The Underachievers, absolutely. Quasimoto and Young Fathers are working checking out too.

Not a fan of Action Bronson so much.

A Tribe Called Quest - The Low End Theory

That's not really new hip-hop, is it? It's a massive player in the genre, and probably one of the biggest jazz-rap releases of all time, though.

It´s timeless and I missed "at the moment" part. It´s more hip-hop than Jazz that´s for sure but yes the low end theory is very much influenced by jazz or rather be bop.<br /><br />-- Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:33 pm --<br /><br />

Do you like the album yourself?
