No to that second question

towards god and community

we're gonna see 2010s nostalgia

nerd glasses

Pro Era boom bap hippie conscious revival
ASAP Cloud rap

It already had a resurgence in the Indie scene this decade.

But it's not going to break mainstream if that's what you're saying.

Be patient brother

streamers + music will be the definition. catch up

I'm tired of throwback s*** when it feels forced and has no inventiveness.

That being said, we need to see some new towns and cities take precedence.

Plus we need new sounds and drum patterns. New perspectives too

Someone is smart enough to

• crush the TR-808 drum sounds in hiphop since 2015-2020 to a Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross timbre
• bring vigor and strong moods back to chord vamps in rap bangers instead of these emotionless and sterile chord changes as of late

In more detail, boxy thin metal noise as the texture for dominant rap banger drums is tired as hell. The listener’s ear is tired of this. The same TR-808 sounds, the same Spinz 808, the same TM88 and Metro snare clap, the same Pierre claps, etc and none of the textures have evolved for the last decade plus. Like I said before it pervaded every region too

what would u say is the most recent popular example of the 'emotionless' chords?

More AI implementation

Musicianship
Swagger over nonchalant coolness
Competition
More diverse lingo
Less high fashion payola
Risk taking
Bridges
Pop crossovers
Song development instead of beat changes

An amalgam of alllll of rap history rolled into one era.

I think the genre basically fades into obsolescence as the Big 3 step back

I hate to use this as an example. Hard ass song, Rx hard as s*** but it’s a perfect example

A recent megahit

I hope we'll see a more organic mash of EDM and rap, basically taking it all the way back to the roots with house/techno + rap having a coming of age side by side. it's def been the big trend even w stuff like jersey club taking over beats etc and like lowkey DJs are bigger stars than rappers already, I think the next wave will be DJ + MC collabs where both are equally respected and rly give a live performance

also I think English rap will not be as central on a world stage anymore

Post post modern hip-hop
where rappers just auction off there valuables in rap form

Holllllld up this is a crazy idea

Real recession rap

ngl this is actually a dying trend if anything

what do you mean?

super adhd distorted and club influenced sound mixed with 2010s swag and cloud rap nostalgia.
travis scott will have a jerk beat on his next s*** and the kids will call it corny. young money datpiff era type beats and old 40 sound coming back.

Find a way to get a mixtape section on the streaming services as a free-to-use section. Let people upload tapes again, any beats, no monetization. Then use that as a way to discover/sign new talent and bleed them dry.

Basically back to the good ol days blog era

kendrick drake are stil the biggest rappers
