he spoke facts.

when he said there is nothing out today that will be played in 30 years, made me think, is this the longest in a year Hip Hop has gone without charting?

Longest it's been in 30 years.

That said, I'm not surprised.

Here's the thing, nobody probably thought:
Soul
Funk
80's Love Songs
60s and 70s pop
Disco
Rock
etc.

Would ever fall off either, but here we are. Trends don't last forever.

Whatever the next wave is, hopefully it brings more positivity and less acting like a grown ass rebellious bad kid to get attention.

I'm glad rap is not charting.

Once everyone stops obsessing about the sales/charts and accepts a living off music instead of everyone trying to be hip-pop stars with fashion spin-off and branding; everything but music, maybe the music can become less fukking trash.

Much like is happening in TV and movies now, people aren't taking risks and are just rehashing the shyt that works because they are properties with a certain level of expectation to recoup. So everyone just playing copycat to ride the wave when that's never been what rap is. It's anathema to the whole identity of hip-hop entirely.

90% of these nikkas ain't even rappers. They're autotuned chorus-harmonizers specializing in part-time 4-bar freestyles and full-time drug use. Adlibs get repeated more than the 'bars'.

I honestly feel like ever since that 2015-2017 stretch of incredible releases, hip-hop and r&b basically peaked and been sliding.

Drake - Views, IFRTITL, WATTBA
Rihanna - Anti
Beyonce - Lemonade
Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
H.E.R - H.E.R
King - We Are King
Jay-Z - 4:44
Tribe Called Quest - We Got It From Here...
Big Sean - Dark Sky Paradise
Kendrick - TPAB, Damn
Rae Sremmurd - Sremm Life 1, Sremm Life 2
Travis Scott - Rodeo, Birds In The Trap...
SZA - Ctrl
Bryson Tiller - Trapsoul
Young Thug - Barter 6
Future - Beast Mode, DS2
The Weeknd - Starboy
Dr. Dre - Compton

This was also when Apple Music came out and all the big names were doing radio shows on there and interviews.

Music was banging then. Even all the hype around big concerts and festivals like Coachella had FOMO and electricity in the air.

Now, while there have been hits the last five years and we've had some impactful new artists additionally, but nothing is really touching those albums nor that stretch.

That era was a vibe before all the type beats era when everybody just started downloading FL Studio and watching Nick Mira (who has actual talent) youtube tutorials then getting placements with artists for $100 beats. Now it's all recycled and people copying each other the second a new sound comes out.
