In the eyes of the general public, all hip-hop is usually classified the same way. Labeled as the poison of the black community because nowadays, most hip-hop lyrics all sound the same generic way, always talking about money, women, cars, drugs or some kind of problem that all these rappers before or then they continually have each other. But what this new generation doesn't know are the positive and creative flows that were spit out not so long ago in the 80s and 90s. Rappers of the past like Tupac and Ice Cube both had moments where they had to show their thuggish side, but both had reasons or a call to arms for it, and in fact were sympathetic to the issues of that era as well as the society in which they grew up. Also, even though some new school songs sound really promising, the old school songs are still always great classics that anyone nowadays is sure to hear. As a result, new school hip-hop is very diluted and has no originality about it. . They even went so far as to eliminate old school rhythms and rhymes and turn them into many of the unpleasant songs heard today. Old school hip-hip songs have always had important characteristics that distinguish each artist and make them unique, which has inspired some of the best in the game like Snoop Dog, Eazy E, and Biggie Smalls. New school hip-hop lacks a positive message that is not conveyed to today's generation. The only thing you can translate from today's hip-hop is that you have to stack the paper, make it rain in the club and what kind of car to drive. Old Hip-Hop tried to instill ambition in ghetto kids because, let's face it; many believed that once born in the neighborhood he was... middle of paper... within the infrastructure of the song. In contrast, one major distinction between the two was that modern rappers use more elaborate patterns; while the old rappers limited themselves to following fairly simple patterns. By far the most obvious deviation from the two would be the sudden shifts in lyrics. In conclusion, since the early 1970s the hip-hop boom and craze will continue to increase. Despite such criticism, regardless of the fact that most people simply associate the two together and undermine the progress that hip-hop has made, its popularity remains largely unchanged. But I guess it's these haters who always bring the most ingenuity, and in this case it was the evolution of hip-hop as a whole. So, to understand the present, one must look to the past to fully grasp the concept of new and old school
