Any Old School Hip-Hop & RnB Fans On Here?
I just wanted to know if there's anyone on here who was, and probably still is, massively into the urban flavours of the 1990s. Back in the day it was pretty much the only thing that my friends and I would listen to. Rap, hip hop, swingbeat, RnB. And to get American import stuff was a VERY big deal. While a lot of the artists we listened to were American, during the late nineties, a lot of British artists started doing well in the mainstream charts. People like Eternal, Damage, The Honeyz, All saints etc. Those sounds were really blowing up back then.
If you've been following the news, you'll know that in more recent times a lot of the artists that were big names in the hip hop and rnb arenas have been involved in scandalous behaviours. R Kelly, P Diddy, Fat Joe etc. I think that's why …

What Are Your Views On Mainstream Music?
I was talking to someone recently about those pop music tapes and CDs we used to buy back in the day, and I told him that I stopped buying them when I got bored of mainstream music and became more interested in rock and RnB. And when Top of the Pops was taken off our screens, well that was my last link to mainstream music gone!
Admittedly I know very little about mainstream music these days. I'm familiar with certain artists but don't know much about them or their music. I personally feel a lot of mainstream music started to go downhill around late 2000s and I lost interest. I prefer to listen to the latest offerings from my fave rock artists or music from back in the day.
What does everyone else think of today's mainstream music?

I don't have a problem with mainstream music. In fact my kids who are under ten love it so it's just as well that I don't have a problem with it! I was born in the late 1980s so I grew up during the nineties and the music from that time is more my style. I'm from Seattle so naturally alot of grunge, rock, alternative stuff is something that I have a real connection with.
And while I do enjoy some mainstream stuff and there are some catchy tunes out there, I don't thing many of them will be as memorable as the kind of music that I grew up with.

I used to listen to a lot of hip hop and RnB. It's what a lot of us who were out clubbing most weekends would listen to. Back in the late 90s and early 2000s when I was going to clubs and raves and stuff, a lot of the really good stuff was still quite 'underground.' But there were a lot of British acts breaking into the mainstream charts.
