Feb 22, 2024I always felt Hip Hop was starting to decline when it comes to relevance.
Nice to have some data on this.
Feb 22, 2024·1 replyIm sorry but im blaming this on the absences of niggas we needed like kendrick, rocky, and even hov. Lmao they let a bunch of vultures in and now the whole genre is a tiktok fyp

Hip Hop needs another superstar and more new sounds
This means we need more artist to experiment and need different sounds to hit mainstream.
There needs to be new trends.

Newhousealso so many of the big rap acts from like 2012-17 just fell off the face of the earth
like a lot of ppl on here correctly predicted would happen but some of y'all told us we just weren't adapting
The niggas from those years are actually the ones that are pushing the genre forward the most
Feb 22, 2024Nice it will be how it was when I was a kid
The fastest rap falls off from the charts the lbetter
Get these phase cacs out of here

Why not instead blame the biggest selling rappers for not pushing the genre forward artistically instead?
Feb 22, 2024ilgnddont worry cuz Kanye is so back
You mean the 46 year old rapper who went Indie and burned bridges with half the media.
Don't think he's a good example to use when talking about today's hip hop lol.

Mr AmericaEnd of capitalism/ end of the world
That might play a role innit
Feb 22, 2024Is it losing relevance? With Billboard constantly manipulating their charts?
- Feb 22, 2024
This might be a win for rap fans. I think this is part of the reason we're seeing a resurgence of very specific regional styles and imo that's a good thing. It's cool when you can hear a song and tell immediately what city it's out of. I like seeing ppl building off each other in that way.
Having just a couple ppl at the top w huge streaming numbers might not have been great for rap in the long run. Imo that's why a lot of the guys in that position now sound so derivative, no local scenes to add flavor
Feb 22, 2024·1 replyGood. These new niggas yall be hyping up on this site are trash.
Maybe this will make niggas actually try to make good music instead of the lazy s*** niggas be putting out these days.
The ktt2 hypebeast lost.

but the opium truthers and plugnb stans on here told me i was old and washed and everything was actually just fine
this can’t be true
Feb 22, 2024its okay, we literally just repeating 2000's era again, in 10 years once SAINT WEST, NORTH WEST, GEKYUME, ADONIS and the CARTER TWINS step into the scene, RAP will come alive again

Granted I'm not too amazed by a lot of new stuff I hear rn but there's potential for great stuff to happen in this climate. I think Ganger is an easy example of this
Feb 22, 2024Not surprised and commercial Hip-Hop deserves to fall from grace tbh
Feb 22, 2024Free YoungBoyHip hop is more than billboard charts. We never grew up caring about that s***.
Yall are just hip hop flavor pop twitter smh

The current era of rappers don't know how to make club hits, simply put.
We are in a period where rappers are just local gang members that have no real talent, no personality, nor know how to make catchy music. They are just rapping out a studio in their house for fun, no true passion. They didn't grow up obsessed with writing and creating music they just got bored and figured they could do it. The output they make appeals to a very specific demo (usually the hood in their local city). It's not music that appeals to a widespread mainstream audience.
Jack Harlow got the #1 song right now because he is a rapper who knows he isn't from the streets so he isn't trying to make a song about shooting 7 people. He focusing on making a catchy club hit.
Kanye, Drake, Cole, Kendrick, etc had so much appeal cause they weren't just portraying the generic trap king & jailbird image. That stuff does not go far and only appeals to a very narrow audience.
Feb 22, 2024White s*** is just cool now that's how it is fr. Been saying it for a while. Mfs dressing like outdoorsman or Seinfeld characters, Golf is cool, white basketball players going crazy, everybody trying to tap into some white people s***. It's white szn full force rn.

I literally have the exact opposite opinion as you lol
Most of the best rap music of all time is literally just guys rapping for fun that aren't worried about being "catchy." That's like the root of the genre wtf
Also why are u saying "jailbird" are u like 65?

You hyping up niggas called Phreshboyswag and saying Ice Spice isn’t good?
She’s legit a breath of fresh air, unlike any of the SoundCloud knockoffs you named
They're both bad. Thats the problem.

The point is we talking about superstar talent, and y’all bringing up third generation SoundCloud offshoots with pedophile accusations. Y’all are proving our point
