IN RESPONSE TO THE THREAD TITLE
i like old-school hip-hop
you know the old-style, kinda-rap-songs where the back-beat was 4-6 sec on a loop, the back-beat was actually in-the-back of the vocals, where you could actually hear every individual word clearly with no kind of voice-changing auto-tune bullshit, NONE of the words repeated, and the words actually told a coherent and interesting story
as an example
i used to have on my cell-phone the super-long version of "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" with all the extra verses that never got onto TV, and even longer loops of instrumental in between each verse, where this song was about twice as long as what you hear on TV
yes i will actually read SOME of this thread, at some point in the future
