If it's pre-1985, the vast majority of rap/hip hop fans won't have a clue.
Michael Brooks
Not true.
It depends on how much of a die hard fan you are.
DJ Qbert has lots of old records from guys such as mantronix and so do a lot of the most famous and dedicated turntablists.
Dominic Flores
If you believe in the elements of true hip-hop, it's essentially street art & doesn't exist anymore
Ryan Murphy
What do you mean?
Jack Cox
why do you hate people who don't know about early hip-hop when most "die hard hip-hop" neglect entire other genres instead.
Adrian Brown
No they don't.
Most die hard hip hop people know about at least funk jazz and early electronic music too.
Hip hop exposes you to a wide variety of genres.
Lincoln Moore
I mean the graph/dancing/mixing breaks w/turntables & rapping literally on the spot
John Gonzalez
Still exists.
Mumble rap fans would say it's lame and ignore the foundations though.
Logan Gutierrez
No, they don't. At best they listen to Frank Ocean or The Weeknd and think that they listen to "R&B". Literally all of the hip hop fans I know are "I don't listen to guitar music" tier plebes. t. someone who used to be like them
Robert Reyes
I bet you don't even go yo record stores.
You don't know shit... Also there are plenty of hip hop songs with guitar riffs.
Easton Murphy
I know.. they consider it corny
Colton Jackson
DJ qbert is said to be one of the greatest turntablists and hip hop fans love him.
