Old Man Rap

[Jonny_Paycheck]

The problem with Old Man Rap up until this year or so is that it's previously been completely taken up by the rappers' verbal shaking of fists and yelling at younguns to get off of their proverbial lawns.





Now that dudes are beginning to rap about life, and things other than rapping itself, and how terrible new rap is, it's becoming a bit more tolerable.

Shouts to Beat Butcha from the UK for producing that Sean P track, definitely not an old man rap kind of beatmaker...

The beat is the worst part of that song, it sounds like someone is fighting their axe murderer on top of a pipe organ.

One of the things I like about Sean Price is that he basically raps Old Man schitt over Young Dude beats. They're not always good... this one's cool but not great. But dude is just live on the track and kicking some hilarious schitt. P!!!

The beat - DJ Signify had this cover of Soul Condor on his Signifying Breaks mix, if any one knows what I'm on about, is this the same sample? Weird 'Inca' acoustic guitar business...





anyway, Kool Keith. Huge fan of his early work, he's always stayed true to himself (whichever self that is, dude seems a bit skitzo), but not really feeling this. Last thing that he did that I really liked, and still rate is this w/ MF Doom:

I ride/rode for the Heltah Skeltah reunion album which I guess makes me a fan of Old Man Rap. I also still think that Kool G Rap could make another great album.

Has anyone else checked (Or has it been posted in this thread? The clips are not showing up in my browser)?




I got it from emusic today after seeing recommendations and hearing one or two youtube clips. I like it upon first listen, there's just something about the vibe of it that (to me) sets it apart from all the similar, dull old man raps releases. But most likely, if you don't like Marcberg, you won't like this.

With direction and good production - he probably could.

dooms shit almost alwaysholds up imo. hes got endless good rhymes and picks nice sample based beats.





sadat looks old and sounds old. that video made me sad. made me think that he actually always sounded like an old dude rapping, but it used to work a lot better. for real he sounds like he needs to chase kids off his lawn.





that wu joint is cool...decent production. i thought slim charles killed cheese though?!!! they got him rapping?





and that dres joint was very old man rap in a good way. like some clark gable cary grant cognac in the nyc penthouse old man. dres is a suave dude with a good flow. but its called Black sheep and Lawngs not in the video??? cmon son

REAL old man rap = dropping your first 12" at 61 years old.

I remember feeling tracks off of this when it dropped. Old man rap classique?

Definately. Old man rap has been "a thing" since at least 2001.
