Hiphop is so dead right now ..it’s actually sad

[Corndog]

Hip hop isn't dead, it's actually the opposite. Hip hop's run as the dominant pop music has just come to an end. Now it can actually thrive creatively

Imagine referring to Billy Woods as a "new rapper doing cosplay"

I do wanna say if you’re an actual fan of rap music I don’t know what you have to complain about

These people don't really like rap. They just need something to fill the silence of their empty lives

nikkas just need to shut the fukk up if they don't know what they're talking about.

I'd say we need to bring humiliation back but some of these weirdos probably get off on that shyt.

It’s treated as a hustle instead of a craft.

lol @ microwaveable 2 min songs

 

[Canon]

there's still a lot of talented folks making great music

just gotta avoid the mainstream and put some effort in

 

[cartierhoe]

A lot of the new gen rappers to carry the torch from the Big 3 got locked up or passed. But I will say if you only listen to the radio yeah you might think it's dead but in an era where there's so much accessibility for every type of subgenre in the space, then it can't really be "dead". It's just a different era, nikkas ain't sitting around the radio listening to Hot 97 or reading the Source mags.

Also this forum still debates Nas vs Hov

You're not gonna get an accurate portrayal with this archaic level of thinking. It's only a few younger brehs on here that actually contribute to what people are listening to.

Was trying to reply to a bucn of the diff shyt posted my bad my shyt got mixed up. respectfully.

[BK The Great]

Why would I listen to this twice? Too many new rappers doing cosplay of more talented people.

I don't think people here are doing either.

Thought he was rapping in a diff language

Dave East is not it.

Mid.

Mid.

Generic.

I don't think Boldy is wack but I don't care. I don't want sleepytime tea raps.

East is crossing mainstream popularity

Better luck with the acting than the rapping imo.

How is this relevant to the current era of music?

It’s like you wanted to post what you view as a classic, using an exception (there’s exceptions to everyday in life), using an album from 2004.


What is the point of mentioning an exception that was made over 20 year ago?
