Here we go, another thread full of

Nerds who never really liked rap that much in the first place

nikka I've been a fan damn near 30 years, this current soundscape, save for a few, sucks, period.

 

[reasonable_doubter]

its too watered down.....

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

As a dusty music snob that’s been too busy to find new artists with the exception of EARTHGANG / JID I appreciate the recommendations

It was a thread in the booth that put me on to Spillage Village..
Bas put out a good project as well this year..
Isiah Rashad was 3 years ago but it wasn’t as good as Olivia’s Demo
And on the R&B side of the game..
Sir put out an AMAZING ALBUM..
Mac Ayers(and yes he is a cac) is another in my rotation..
I just want people to give the youngins a chance..
Each generation hates the others music..
Yeah it’s mindless shyt out here..
But there is also amazing talent percolating too..
Stop being Radio Raheem brehs

We have to be open to more experimental deviations of hip-hop. It's those spin offs that potentially become entirely new genres.

Then those new genres can then come back and "re-influence" hip-hop. This is how we get that brief EDM, and Dub-Step phase in mainstream hip-hop.

Agreed but

Just with experimental deviations of older genres that can re-influence hiphop/modern music

Those would just be rehashed influences.

I was talking about a completely new form of music that we haven't even heard of yet, in the same way Hip-Hop was completely new and fresh.

Eventhough it initially borrowed elements from jamaican dub/dance hall music of the time, what it turned into shortly after was completely unheard of.

Not true

Hip hop sonically originally stemmed from funk and Disco music. Dancehall wasnt even created than lol

Facts. Literally every hip hop documentary and historian points this out. Never mind the fact you can hear it

2020s is just gonna be the same for rap. Endless trap beats. Endless rappers with lil and young in their name. everybody using the same flow. More white and non-black faces...less black rappers making noise.

I think it's just time for black people to move on to something else.

"Trap" music is literally a TRAP because it's dead music that's not even fast food quality. Kids dont have the discipline to learn an instrument to play.

He said specifically "elements of" dancehall (not entirely) considering Kool Herc is Jamaican, but it was more Disco than anything else. Both can be true.

But when you think about disco didn't really die...it just turned into house music which then turned into techno.

And I think it's BEEN high time and mighty black folks take back house and techno ! That's OUR shyt.

I knew about Kingfish and Gary..
That PAKG tho
Giving me Fishbone vibes

Yea, they just dropped their first album a couple of months back.

It's DOPE.

This may be heresy on a hiphop forum, but black folks got to expand our musical horizon beyond rap in general I think. I don't mean in the usual way that people state that by listening to country or rock or some shyt. I mean, we need more people to get back to playing instruments and experimenting with music beyond trying to be the next "xyz like rapper" and trying to do their own thing and be unique. That is the only way innovation and creative new forms of music are going to happen. I love hip-hop but I feel that its become so dominant in the music, that we have a generation of folks who don't know or do music beyond it and it leads to a repetitive rut.

This.

I hate how we as black people seem to just get stuck/pigeonholed in the hip-hop and r&B fold...so much so, that anytime we venture outside of those realms people look at it as weird...even though black people CREATED those genres (country, techno, house, rock, etc) because they've been dominated by white people for so long.

I love rap, hip-hop, and R&B, but it really gets on my nerves when people think that ALL we can do and ALL we're good for.

Yeah Me being damn near 30, my music days are over. Can't be listening to these 18 year old dudes, that shyt is in the trash.

There's still Kendrick, J Cole, maybe Drake and Future, but it's over. Time to go underground
