Is Hip Hop a joke?

Yeah, 3 Feet High and Rising is De La Soul's third best album at best, and FoaBP is shit compared Nation of Millions, weird picks OP you're right.

FoaBP aged MUCH better than Nation of Millions though. Second best HH album of the 80's behind Paul's Boutique

Why just bitch about some rap albums? There's way more superfluous shit on there to support your claim (which already seems to miss the stated goal of the project) like children's songs and sports broadcasts.

The fact that you're singling out rap reveals a deeper motive, either trolling or legit white kid jealousy.

Fear of a Black Planet and 3 Feet High And Rising are incredible records. Straight Outta Compton not so much. It's a shame N.W.A. ended up being the most influential of the three groups.

Public Enemy has aged pretty poorly. 3 Feet High is the only album there that still holds up.

You are a joke

>Stockhausen
the National Recording Registry is mainly focused on preserving American music and culture. Stockhausen's had a huge influence on American music but no more than the huge influence he's had on non-American music, let the Germans preserve him

>John Cage
from my understanding his most influential work (aside from high-concept stuff like 4'33") was in aleatory music, preserving a "definitive"
recording of any of those pieces would defeat the point. I'm sure those compositions are well-preserved elsewhere in written form

>>75092918
You clearly fear the black planet

>>75092918
music is subjective

>>75092918
How about we have someone who DOESN'T have a heavy bias against hip hop judge these albums, hm?

I agree with these 2 people.
