i think to be a “cool rapper” now is to have the spirit of 2pac, the rapping ability of kendrick, and the aesthetic of carti. once a nigga is able to combine all of the above it’s over

I kind of wanted to make this thread before and kind of ask about the "de-blackening" of rap music and death of Hip Hop culture but Idk what it would even look like.

Lmao no it is young for sure! I just have noticed a shift in culture amongst a certain age group.

nah this s*** lame asl lol

not a serious post but u can see how easy it is to s\*\*\* on things and dismiss stuff nowadays

The de-blackening of hip hop is a good way to put it. Like I said, what new slang words we even got from hip hop? I would even argue that a lot of young people idea of “cool” is lame. I feel like the internet has made it corny to compliment and big somebody up because it’s looked at as “glazing” but slandering somebody dead relative in a Twitter argument get you all the retweets. Too much cornball Jamal behavior being promoted

it is funny that they used to clown people who stayed inside now a ton of rappers are terminally online

I will say bruh got his own movement. They been pushing peace in Texas, his hairstyle been a popular thing for people to get, and I can tell he not tryna be too influenced to do dumb s***. But overall I do agree with what you saying

people talk about gen z as if they’re like 15 oldest gen z are like 28 rn

lmaooo noo the one that kinda looks like riley freeman

That Cade Cunningham s/o made sense to me because you'd expect him to be a boring dude but when you see how he actually is & how he talks he seems like he might be a cool dude

i hear you. do you think the word you're looking for is boring? There is an element of novelty to a naive audience that will propell the next gen but theres also something that seemed sonically unique about say the 2016 xxl class. n id also think there was a connection with the previous gen of rappers? and that overlap kinda gives some semblance of continuity in the genre with hints of a monoculture. think that fails to be the case rn but for a number of reasons

lowkey i'm p out of touch with new stuff partially cus I can't tell what theyre saying and i think its a lil...bland. i can't find myself to thing anything fakemink says is cool or that he says it in a cool way but the beats r ok. IDK!

You gotta be careful when you say stuff like this though fam
A statement that can be interpreted to put down some black Americans & big up some non black Americans in their place is just fuel to the fire of anger in them FBA/ADOS niggas hearts

but also... Eff black immigrants who do actually disparage & look down on black Americans because they don't understand racial discrimination & systemic racism as much because they grew up in all black places

had to clarify, to keep them ADOS/FBA 🦝 off my back

I’m actually gonna make a video on this right now to better explain my point lmao

You're not wrong but this really goes back to the blog era

these carti biters are killing me man lol I dont stan the guy but hearing like wlr derivatives is kinda boring to me idk
