This

When it suits them media is influential and when it doesn't it isn't

Keep lying to yaself...

This ignant music has made being ignant acceptable through it's influence in popular culture.

That is clear as day. Anyone in denial of this knows the truth they just won't accept it. Let's keep pretending were gonna move ahead while trap music is the current soundtrack to life.

These people swear that people gonna listen to Trap music in the year 2030 AD. It numbs your brain and the music itself ages like milk. That's why these new producers and these trap stars have to release new material every month; cause the effect of the music is very short lived and cannot withstand the tides of time itself.

Trap needs to evolve..

We been listening to the same beats since 2009. At this point, when it loses its dominance, its gonna be ugly and a lot of people's careers gonna be stalled like T-Pain's.

I'm saying though

That's why I think we are going thru an anti intellectual phase in hip hop(despite 2 out of 3 of the biggest rappers being intellectuals and possibly drake if you live and think like a sensitive phaggot)

People are knocking conscious lyrics and laid back atmospheres for trap beats and bars with 3 words. Even white folks :gucci:

Trust me, people want to be permanently stupid and ignorant. Only so long they can withstand ignorance before it destroys itself.

This Kendrick hate you have is unhealthy :picard:

He's directly threatened by the small number of talented rappers out there today. His favorite genre-Trap music- dominates everywhere and every form of black social life under 45, but he threatened by Kendrick Lamar and J Cole :russ:

Talk about insecurity, LMAO. His music dominates everything, and still loses sleep at night over the simple possibility of them dominating the charts and influencing people.

Very very true



Correct me if I'm wrong cause I know you know your music, but I'm under the impression that those genres of music (especially rock, rap) were attacked because the establishment feared it for the subsersive potential it had, and given voice to the youth. On the other hand trap music is accepted/pushed by the mainstream precisely because they know those who listen to it aren't subsersive at all, and represent no threath whatsoever to the establishment.

na, what you said about trap is pretty much is pretty much how every black genre of music in America at some point outside of maybe Gospel and early Soul music was viewed by whites. HipHop and Rock were not seen as threats or anti establishment musics early on at all.

At least trap rappers are willing to collaborate ( especially in Atlanta) and help put each other on and get paid.

So promote a ultraviolent, hyperaggressive form of hip hop while deriding the other because we're not responsible for any of our social issues.

Thank you for pointing out how some of ya'll rachet nikkas think. This is enlightening
I'm not saying its right, but at least those rappers aren't out here pretending to act like this shyt is more complicated than it is. all that 3rd eye this and ameriKKKA that shyt is mad corny and is no more or less better than trap music. just a bunch of posturing and empty words. :yeshrug:


Imma make a thread on this when i get the time using a movie analogy that better illustrates my point.

All my nikka listens to is trap shyt and he graduated college and is making bank as a car salesman in Las Vegas

You can be normal and listen to Trap and not have it affect you because you have a solid foundation of parenting and good societal influences. But a lot of people in the hoods and shyt don't have that so it reinforces a negative lifestyle but in a positive way that a lot of them don't know any better from. And these people in the hoods and Ghettos don't have the positive influences to counteract that so as he says they become even more ignorant because they are constantly listening to a message of ignorance/violence/ is good.
