this is one of the laziest, most cliched threads I've seen in a seen minute . ..which is impressive cause generic "let me vaguely whine about contemporary rap" threads are to this board what the pick and roll is to the NBA . ..threadstarter ain't even pretended to flesh out his idea or respond to counter arguments in any meaningful way... like, what exactly is it that you're saying ? who are the hipsters? the artists? the media ? the fans? do the plethora of endless hood rappers out there not count because you don't like them or seemingly are willingly ignorant to them?
