This is Dadrap. Following the same concept as Dadrock, it subsists entirely on good word of mouth and marketing.
I feel as though it survives based on the nostalgia it illicites from the production quality.
Good record imo tho, one of the first hard but fun/silly rap albums at the time so yeah
Implying 7th Chamber isn't fuckin' ace
Maybe for other classics but this is literally one of the most consistent rap albums of all time. No flaws at all.

The proper term is golden age of hip-hop
>>74160535
and 65-75 was the golden age of rock
>>74160547
i'd tighten it up a bit 66-73 but i agree
>>74160547
>>74160656
Golden age is 78-95

Everything pre-Paid in Full (including some stuff on PiF) is dad rap. 99% of stuff after 1987 is too similar to modern hip hop to be dad rap.

Oh yeah because A Tribe Called Quest and 21 Savage are sooooo similar.
I actually just listened to this completely for the first time two days ago
Shit's fucking tight, doesn't seem aged at all considering that sampling soul music is still wildly popular

I'm talking mainline stuff not specific sub-genres.
As an example the difference between early LL Cool J and any given 2pac record is far greater than the gap between any 2000's or 2010's record

dadrap is an oxymoron because blacks aren't capable of being father figures.

Anyone who says the term dad rock and dad rap should never be allowed to discuss music.
I am not even one of those born in the wrong generation losers just someone who appreciates music from all different eras.
This album has a raw energy that is genuinely timeless

Biggie aint dadrap
Nas' mafioso stuff is, but Illmatic is timeless
Hov's Reasonable Doubt is kinda dadrap, but Blueprint and Black Album are timeless
