Hip Hop is Evolving. Will The Booth do the same?

[JUSTIN HERBERT]

Did you post the wrong video? That wasnt a group. It looked like a solo artist with a band.

That fukk boy slickback has no incling idea of what creative fresh hip hop is

He has the worst taste in music on this board

Plus he’s an eagles fan so he has this high horse complexity that bytches when people don’t agree with his stances on music

 

[Wacky D]

its DEvolving

 

[Mac Ten]

Man,

Hip Hop is evolving in a good and a bad way.


We have Full time goons using the genre for nefarious purposes nowadays.

U didnt see Mobb Deep continue to diss Pac after he died or Jay-Z releasing that diss to Pac at the Apollo on Wax.


On the Flip side, music is more assessible these days plus many of the OGs like Nas and Mr. Snoop Dogg are still contributing to the culture.

Me personally, I'll still give the newer rappers some burn.

For some reason, Ive been listening to a lot of these cats lately:

Est Gee
NBA YoungBoy
Lil Uzi Vert
Boosie(Support the real)


As far as females goes,


Ive been listening to a alot of Latto and Glorilla.


Cardi too.



I cant listen to Meg, shes just annoying

 

[Mac Ten]

nikkas on here still having Nas/Jay wars. Lol @ evolve

"Some beefs are everlasting"...


Nas

 

[Mac Ten]

You need to help beat white supremacy breh. You won't do that listening to Key Glock all day

Let's see where you'll be in 15 years

Chill dawg..

I actually fukks with Key Glock.

Hopefully, they arrest the punk who really killed Dolph.

He didnt deserve to die.

Dolph was one of the few rappers that I believed.

Nas

Jay is Nas' biggest stan..

He's gonna still find a way to compete with Nas and rewrite history.


I dont buy it.

 

[DaveyDave]

Because of good advisors/managers, and great business decisions, Nas is in position to release the music he wants to make.

The few peers he has left, who entered the industry around the time that he did are not in his financial position. Rappers and producers.

If they are still making new music, they have to tailor it to current styles and tastes.

I followed Nas' career from the Zebrahead soundtrack.

I believe if more artists from Nas generation just had some consistent releases and got some quality beats then they would build a following and a loyal supportive base. Not everyone will be able to be like Nas and have a producer that can play that fine line between old and new like Hit Boy can but as long as the beats are good quality they could do something.

So… no the Coli won’t evolve like I said lol.

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

I can appreciate something is artistic even if I don't get it. Lot of rap I don't consume but is still dope from a a quality perspective.

But garbage is garbage regardless. And that's not to say all music today is garbage, or no garbage was released back in the day.

Take Utopia for example. It's been panned critically across the board. If hip hop is evolving to that, then that's an indictment on the genre.

Other genres have peaked and fallen from a quality perspective. Every jazz head knows when it peaked. Rock heads know. And so on. Why should hip-hop be different?

jazz is actually having it's best decade since the 90s IMO

as in actual classic albums being dropped

 

[Conan]

Who cares? What’s the obsession with a “zenith” and comparing new eras to the past?

It’s not even fresh discussions it’s the same threads about the same albums and events from the same artists echo chamber of repetitive conversations.

nikka I do

I don't engage in most discussions on here, they're tiring and repetitive (the Jay-Z DMX thread should be nuked with everyone in there). But I'd love to engage with fresh quality hip-hop, and that's harder to do today than it was in the past. Why wouldn't I care about a great genre trending towards mid?

If the answer is "you ain't searching hard enough", that's the point

[Playaz Eyez]

I been eating good on older and newer artists for a long time, especially after I finally hopped into streaming (late 2017).
