Anyone else EXTREMELY bored with Rap nowadays?

[How Sway?]

I think this current crop of rappers are far more talented overall than those from the "In My white Tee", "This is why I'm Hot", "Oh I Think They Like Me" era. Everyone is hungry and truly wants to leave their mark on the legacy of hip hop. Sure we still had great albums from the likes of Jay-Z, Nas, and Outkast, but the quantity and quality is better overall right now. Also the diversity. I don't think someone like Drake or Chance The Rapper could've made the splash they're making now back then.

Diversity?? nikka there was much more diversity in 03/04/05 than now.


Alotta nikkaz now sound the same. them and kendrick are the only cats who bring something different to the table if you ask me. And even drakes music heavily drew off Kanye's 808&Heartbreaks album without the auto-tune. Its almost as if he based his career off that album.

But yeah Hip hop is better than it was maybe 3-5 years ago

 

[Poitier]

LOL RnB is in the worst shape.


This dude really said Jazz and House

What Indie Rock is better than old Radiohead?

Yall dudes lost. Either you listen to old music or you listen to new rap. New anything else is just the old stuff but worse.

Yeah, I don't agree. At all

Strictly Old Reggae, Old R&B and if i do listen to hip-hop it's either sirius xm backspin or shade 45 sometimes

Ive been trying to get into Regaee lately but the person I can listen to on the regular is Bob Marley, Peter Tosh aint bad either tho.
Got some other suggestions, preferably the old school stuff

 

[The Dust King]

didnt even bother checking for the past few big releases as everything sounds the same now.
Trap is really killing hip hops soul imo.
just waiting on the new Lil Ugly Mane and (hopefully) the new blu record and i think thats it. Drake sux btw.

went from killah priest album being GOAT to yeezus to daft punk

now 3 months later hip hop is boring

this thread is filled with wannabees and fairweather fans

you can literally never run out of new hiphop with the internet.

for godsakes listen to some old school sh!t

how you get bored of the universe and you only been to one country on one planet??

this genre was blessed with some of the worst "fans"

 

[How Sway?]

yeah R&B is even worse than Hip-hop right now. Atleast hip hop has gotten a lil bit better with Kendrick and J cole IMO at least improved from his last album.

R&B is just wack period. And it aint like rap where if you go on the internet you can find some shyt thats buzzing that you might like.

With Most r&b it's mainly just regulated to the radio and what I've been hearing on the radio while driving is

Some people need expand their horizons a bit. Talking about the same 10 rappers all the time. So many dope underappreciated emcees droppin dope tracks all the time. Just gotta dig a bit. Stop relying on your favorite old artists.

 

[Blackout]

I go back and forth between rap and alternate metal.

These youngins out here LOVE a lot of the rappers this forum can't stand.

I think there's a boredom in music. Miley Cyrus doing what she did would have been 10x bigger 10-15 years ago. The industry is jaded and it's waiting for a Ricky Martin at the Grammys moment let alone a Nirvana moment, where one event changes everything. That's why this forum clings onto Kendrick Lamar's Control verse so much. We're dying for that shyt to change how everything works. The reality is that by the end of the year, nothing will really change. Until then, everyone will be bored, these youngins will like something else and we're gonna be mad.

It's never gonna be the same again. Once you come to grips with this, you'll deal with the current state of music a little better.

Oh yes the classic "I have more of an eclectic taste of music than you" thread

and this.

let it go, fellas. adapt and evolve. Stop trying to force yourselves to find and like something amid all the stuff you feel is trash anyway. You don't like the rap music given to you, then dont take it.

find the kind of stuff you like on your own.

The problem is the attention span of the consumer and how fast artists are dropping music


its way to diluted than it used to be

This was an historic summer in hip hop history.. For the first time in hip hop history there was no summer anthem

been like this since 2003 (mainstream) and 2006 underground. Rap is so boring and wack now but i sure do got to give it props for putting me on to other genres since it's full of wack shyt... Found alot of new artists and music i wouldnt ever dare give a try back in the 90's
