The more i think about it i prob wont let my kids go to public school

I really wish i was 16+ in 2008 that time just seemed so fun to be alive and active

It's Was Wack Never Let Your Family See Your Hoes.

Basically me I think I was 15. the autotune started kicking in that year like peak Wayne and Kanye the swag at the time? cell phones didn’t completely take over our lives yet

Let it rock

What a time to be alive...I was 16 in 2008.

Hardest and grittiest cod game of all time dropped that year to.

World at War.

Almost feel bad for the kids out here. 2000s might have been the last decade were s*** was RAW and LIVE

It was amazing man. Summer before I turned 18 Carter 3 dropped sheeeesh

We had EVENTS

Q you didn’t respond to my iPod tirade.

dude on depop sent me an offer i couldnt resist

theyre women jeans but theyd fit me regardless

i looked up the brand and theyre some women designer jeans scored $200+ jeans for $50

Ehhh I just still don’t think streaming “killed hip hop”. Theres nothing about this form of consumption that suggests to me that it’s the reason s*** got worse. I listened to one album today practically all day long on Apple Music. Is streaming convenient? Sure. Is it so convenient that it makes people lose attention span? I don’t think so that’s more so a phone issue overall. If music is good it’ll get streamed, it’ll make money off merch, it’ll make money off tours etc etc. I still think the direction of hip hop is the natural course it’s supposed to take. Like I said before, jazz and rock were both the dominant genres of their time and both lasted roughly half a century. Rap has really squeezed ALLOT of creative juices out if you think about it. The more it grew, the more cliques it invented which splinters the overall genre. It’s less of a monoculture than it used to be. I will say streaming did open the door wider for artists to enter the game so there’s an oversaturation to it but I still think if the music is def good enough it’ll just catch on. People love sharing music no?

This just in- you can tell people to suck a fart on IG and it won’t get flagged

Oh I’m not saying it killed hip hop but more. There has been one event level album this year. One. This used to be a monthly thing

Exactly. Rappers & the music industry squeezed out all they could from the genre. It’s not streamings fault though. Great albums still come out during streaming. The fact that there was this 1 event level album just goes to show me that streaming isn’t the problem it’s the culture itself. That album made it thru so what’s stopping anyone else from creating an eventful album? Rap is dying for more innovation but we’ve reached the point where AI is becoming a thing and AI is the very last human invention. Everything else will be invented by AI. We’re imo at the end of times anyways so I think it makes sense that things are the way they are right now.

Jazz fans HATED smooth jazz when it was growing in popularity. But that was the last subgenre it really produced

Look at the end of rocks reign, the 2000’s was s*** like nickelback, Creed, nu metal etc. the kids love this s*** and I don’t mind it but I’m pretty sure the music had a bad rap. Also forgot emo was 2000’s too

I think rap is just at its natural end. Even if streaming was never invented and we were still using CD’s I don’t think rap would be very far off from where it is now

True! IMO the end game of streaming is ai music once people are too far gone to tell the difference or care

I keep seeing s*** about whistleblowers walking away from millions because they think that AI will kill us all in like 5-10 years. Probably even sooner.

Yeah it’ll make us stupid then dependent then kill us.

I have to fart so bad but im in the window seat..

Roll the window down and put your ass out the side then let it rip

Have you ever seen 2001 Space Odyssey?

“I’m sorry Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Says a lot about you if you enjoy watching that “comedian” that goes around singing in autotune.

Of course.

Would also recommend the Sun eater series it touches on this a bit.
