The other day I got back into listening to old school hip hop on internet radio. Anyway I’m reminded why I don’t like them or how they sound, it’s more annoying than anything else. It’s like rap for white people. Compared to standup acts like Public Enemy, Eazy E, KRS One or Digital Underground.
The Beastie Boys had a knack for putting out singles that captured the zeitgeist but still sounded distinctly like The Beastie Boys. But yah, from a pure rap skill perspective they’re not top tier.
