Hip Hop is in a really strange place.... Deep Dive...

[Sad Bunny]

The NEW genres that Are running Shyt on the charts right now ....

What lingo, clothes, and styles they got the world Rocking with RN? Just curious...

They influence people in plenty ways. Have you ever seen a Taylor Swift concert lol
They aren’t paying all of these pop artists money for nothing to promote these s.

 

[tuckgod]

Our music is always better when the rest of the wotld isn’t paying attention.

That’s the music that’s appreciated later and held in high regard later, but ignored when released.

It’s when our music is the current popular music,
and we have to water our shyt down to sell to the rest of you lames, is when it loses a little flavor and creativity.

Hip Hop/Black American music are currently in great spaces.

 

[Pure Water]

Everything sounds the same to me . I checked out early probably after gkmc . I check out some stuff tho clipse ,Dogg pound ,nas

Damn nikka, you 60+?

 

[BK The Great]

When shyt like this isn’t talked about you know things are bad. You got to dig deep for good music nowadays.

Cool, I hear you. Just name me a few cultural influences they're making in the U.S, like Clothing ,styles, slang, Lingo, swag...

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran got the whole U.S dressing, talking, acting a certain way?

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

I’ll tell you why

This Kendrick, Drake & J Cole period has overstayed its welcome

Kendrick & J Cole hit the scene like 15 years ago there’s a huge obsession over these guys when they’ve past their creative peaks and their best output is behind them

On top of that honkeys have probably grown bored with the shoot em up bang bang they’ve broken down to a molecular level.

Rap wasn’t meant to be lead by old nikkax stuck in their ways

Youth breeds ignorance & innovation

 

[Finesse]

Not really. There are a whole bunch of artist that the youth follows. You just dont know em because hip hop is not as pushed by mainstream as it once was.


The Osamason's, Matt Ox's, Nine Viscious, etc. etc.


These dudes aint even underground either, Nine Viscious is signed to YSL. Its just that there is clearly not a push for hip hop by the mainstream machine anymore.


The scene is still healthy and thriving tho. New artist popping, innovation, flows, visuals, etc. the whole nine.

 

[King Poetic]

On a commercial level

Whites and Hispanics are not buying these regional ass drill rappers and the females have no crossover appeal with all that my puzzy juicy, ass is phat same ass lyrics…

Also you have 1,000 rappers from each state saying the same shyt a nikka in one region to the next region…

 

[Tasha And]

Lets be clear, hip hop died again

 

[Khadafi1982]

I think most of y’all like too many crossover main stream artist.

I always been a fan of more UNDERGROUND hip-hop which is truly that….

HIP-HOP.

I just discovered some cat named Gekibot and I’m feeling his shyt….

Reminds me of some shyt I used to listen to from 2001-2007

This!

I’ve been underground since 15 years old. Only enjoyed commercial rap when I was in clubs with girls around. Even today, I enjoy discovering from time to time new artists or artists from the mid 90s putting out unreleased material. My kind of rap is alive.

Yea…..

Im sorry…. I just think 80% of the main stream shyt or “club” shyt that people stan is garbage.

I typically hate “radio” music and barely listen to radio.

Underground artist… the may never win awards, they may never have platinum albums or get mentioned in all the blogs.

but old Justus League shyt, Cunninlinguist, MF Doom, Aesop Rock, Madlib, JDilla, Black Milk, Blu & Exile, Declaime, Deltron 3030, and etc


this nicca Gekibot feels like a throw back to that

 

[No1]

There’s a lot of overthinking going on. The big dawgs in hip hop dropped last year. No big new artist with any hype in hip hop dropped this year - other genres had the equivalent to that drop. It’s really that simple.

The only thing I’ll agree with is what @Piff Perkins said about the next generation of rap stars dying off early. Pop Smoke left an East Coast vacuum, Juice World was the biggest at the melodic borderline pop lane, and XXX had an alternative following. All the artists derivative of those guys have no staying power or anything interesting about them. The women rappers have no story but can still make a lot of money.

The only surprise is how poorly Drake’s singles are doing.

 

[Number21000]

Thats only because no big artist released music

Few months ago, it was still the most prominent genre on the charts...Billboard and Chartadata literally dropped the statistics.

 

[Artificial Intelligence]

Radio doesn’t run shyt anymore… people listen to what they wanna listen to.. leave the billboards for the bubble gum shyt.. but the real shyt will always rise to the top
