      There are not too many albums that have come out in the last decade that you could say haven't aged well. It's not even been 10 years ffs. You need a lot of time to determine whether an album hasn't aged well, once you determine defining characteristics and sounds of a particular era and/or music movement. The hip hop scene is not really that different from the day it was when GKMC came out. This is as reactionary as the people who said GKMC was a classic the day it came out.

    There is no defining hip-hop song of the 90s, the genre had too much diversity, and saying one song is the defining song, only could be valid for the specific style that it would be categorized in. Saying a Dre or Pac song is the best, doesn’t show the boom bap or jazz rap of the East Coast and vice versa.

      Supreme Clientele. That album is the last truly 90s hip hop project. Even tho it came out in early 2000.

      I've met plenty of kids who loved both. It's more like the casual rap fans who never listen to full albums that can't get into Kendrick. I mean I'll admit, even I didn't like the singles off of GKMC back when I first heard them cause they made no sense without context. Nowadays rappers rely on singles way more than full albums, so it's rare to meet kids who can comfortably talk about their fav artists' whole discographies. Then again, it's rare to meet music nerds in general.

    A bassline (also known as a bass line or bass part) is the term used in many styles of music, such as jazz, blues, funk, dub and electronic, traditional music, or classical music for the low-pitched instrumental part or line played (in jazz and some forms of popular music) by a rhythm section instrument such as the electric bass, double bass, cello, tuba or keyboard (piano, Hammond organ, electric organ, or synthesizer). In unaccompanied solo performance, basslines may simply be played in the lower register of any instrument such as guitar or piano while melody and/or further accompaniment is provided in the middle or upper register. In solo music for piano and pipe organ, these instruments have an excellent lower register that can be used to play a deep bassline. On organs, the bass line is typically played using the pedal keyboard and massive 16' and 32' bass pipes.

    As far as the vinyl thing goes, I get vinyl for the same reason I still get CDs for my car. So I can have a solid copy of the album I love so I don't forget about it. In this age of streaming its easier than ever to just go from one thing to the next, forgetting about an album as soon as its no longer relevant. So buying vinyl combats that, for me. I never got the sound quality thing, but it feels awesome to have a solid item, wrapped in artwork, always there to remind me and bring me back into that album that I deemed good enough to buy.
