Gen Z claims Hip Hop is “Progressing” so Name one thing current rappers do better than past MC’s?

[Elim Garak]

I don't think hip hop is global because of the artist it's so global because of the way technology has progressed imo.

No more excuses to look for music
ON A SUPPOSED HIP HOP FOURM

I’ll agree but I’ll also say that the genre is so over saturated with BS. I’m not even one of those types that tries to pretend that there wasn’t BS being put out during my younger years. The major difference is the cream rose to the top and the others wallowed in mediocrity and had no career. Plus, there was originality coming from each region. A lot of this shyt sounds the same.

The Coli is an outlier. The rest of the world really ain’t checking for a lot of stuff that I get put onto here. Take for instance Rapsody. Dope artist but who’s really fukkin with her music out here in the real world? Same with Mozzy. Don’t know a person in the real world besides a few white dudes I know really into hip hop who even know who he is.

As an old head today’s music is not bad, but you have to keep in mind hip hop is aimed towards teenagers and those in their early 20s of course you’re not going to relate to it in your 30s
Let the youngins have their turn
On another note there is variety of hip hop out there. I’m sure you can find an artist you can who’s music is dope.
YBN Cordae is a Gen Z rapper who’s music an older hip hop fan can vibe to his music.

It's at the point the genre should've grown and be ageless. We make so many excuses for the "immaturity" of the art form. Couldn't imagine someone saying that same shyt about Miles Davis and jazz or (insert rock group). And that's not me being an elitist with the immature line but name another music genre that puts an age limit on its artists like hip hop fans seem to always do?

Rock and roll
Pop music always catered to an younger crowd

But they never shunned their older acts and cast them aside. Even the most middling bands can still tour

I don’t get how this correlates with my original post
I just said hip hop caters to a younger audience. I didn’t say that was a good or bad thing.
It is what it is

Meld with the beat?

Most of the more popular rappers today are great at harmonizing with more "poppy" beats, and blending their flow with the beat. Some great examples are Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, and Lil Baby. Trippie Redd is another one.

They're great at blending more melancholic topics (like depression, drug use, suicide, etc.) into hard-hitting songs, which is one of the reasons why the shyt that they say goes over so many heads. Juice, Mac Miller and Lil Peep all rapped about addiction and such, yet it still came as a surprise when they died.

LMAO

THATS CALLED AUTO TUNE

Seriously

I don't think people actually like the new music

I still love stuff from 1993

From 1983

Outside of Hip Hop, songs last for decades. Some songs will last forever perhaps

But even among the "fans" of the new music, the biggest tracks from last year are totally gone by now.

If you tried to play the biggest hit from 2010 in 2021 people would revolt. They would be offended

So all these so called hits just magically become wack after 18 months.. Tekashi says out loud that his music is trash but his videos are fire.

That fool was the top artist for like a whole year. "Hit" after "hit". A big ass pile of trash

Or maybe your food doesn't taste as good as you think it does

Im 33, so i would truly say the answer to this is, if you over say 27, who cares.. No new artist are going to change my life, or ever going to make my GOAT list unless they are around for a long time, which means they are around long enough that they arent in the age brackets of the market hip hop should be marketing to: Exactly current Gen Z (97-12..) They will decide who are their legends are, and thats fine... I think my generation (millenials) choose some crappy legends too to embrace as main figures, that were not good for the genre..

I will say this though, and I would be happy to truly understand from those in gen z or close to it on here, what is it about your generation that still makes current hip hop a culture? I do not see anything that unifies one "to be hip hop?" Is it just being young??

Who did we choose as legends who were bad for the game?
