Never. Ive always been appreciative of other genres

nah fr i thought the exact same s*** when i saw the thread ”that’s the whitest thread title i’ve ever read”

kill jay z resonated so much first time i listened to it. that and the title track

Bro back in the 80's there was a phenomenon that musicians were making music solely with the intent of appealing to his taste. He was the Fantano of his time.

when lana del rey is ur most listened artist

i fw this stuff heavy too..

i am white tho, hes not wrong but like i should have named the title "outgrown popular rap"

You gotta learn to appreciate other genres & dig for new s*** some you don't experience rap fatigue

Probably the last 2 years.

Rap is really has the lowest barrier of entry of any genre and the amount of average or below average artists emerging and getting hot really shows it.

it troubles me how unself aware you are

Song in OP hard

this too

Feel bad for ya

Robert really a GOAT

I used to read all his s*** when I was younger

ok but here me out, im a big music guy.. i listen to almost every genre lol..

i was just talking about rap

"unself aware"

what?

There wasn no rap fatigue to be had in the 90s or 2010-2016

Its really just late 00s and late 10s that have been especially mediocre

Tbh this was a powerful year for underground rap. I feel like a lot of big things are happening rn.

Griselda put out an impressive album as a collective. Benny the Butcher had a dope album. Westside Gunn had a good album and tape. They got cosigns from Jay-Z and Drake and it feels like they're on the verge of blowing up.

Mach-Hommy and Tha God Fahim, while not as invested in expanding their fan base, stay going hard with their dump of releases..

Earl's friends - Mavi, Maxo, MIKE and so on are doing their thing.

Roc Marciano put out a dope ass album. Danny Brown with Q-Tip was special.

Your Old Droog put out 3 projects and each one was better than the former. Blu did the same thing.

The veterans are doing well. We had a bunch of solid projects from their side.. Little Brother, Gang Starr, Common, Nas.

Bandana goes without sayin.

I don’t think I’ll ever outgrow rap music but I’m not feeling a lot of this melodic street rap. S*** is so formulaic/derivative outside of like 3/4 artists.

i dont care about u at all

More unnecessary ktt drama

BECOMING!?

I always liked Christgau because of that. His ratings are weird as well. As opposed to a pitchfork article or Fantano video (i.e. some bloated mess of buzzwords), I never feel like I can guess what he's going to give an album which is cool because I feel like I'm looking at someone else with their own taste instead of someone hardcore pandering to 15 year old Kakks for Internet money.
