i'm over and done with hip hop

[Da King]

Different times man. Just gotta accept the fact that the youth don't like shyt you can think about. Complex shyt sadly, rarely in anymore. I'm a young artist too and I make music that gives you that excitement feel (I hope) but at the same time I try to connect to the youth, not in a smoke weed catch aids way, but in a "bro, I feel your pain/struggle" way

Moral of the story: the government took over and made classic fukkry

Never heard your music but I just reading this nonsense

Nobody dropping albums anymore. How many major hip hop releases this year? I cant even name 10. I remember when big budget major rap albums dropped every week. And they all did numbers. The truth is the genre is not what it used to be. It IS dead and beyond stale... there are only a handful of online hip hop discussion boards left and just like here its more gossip than talk about music.

Exactly

There were literally hip hop albums dropping every single week

shyt No Limit by themselves dropped albums every week then there was everyone else.

Now there's a million mixtapes and random singles being thrown out to see if something sticks......if it does you get an album.

I literally used to spend every dollar I made on music from 96 to about 2004.

I can still find shyt to rock with......Kendrick is my current favorite.

But yeah it's really not the same..

One of the Philly hip hop radio stations recently changed their format to old school hip hop and r&b. That tells you everything right there.

Quite frankly, if you don't have the initiative to find good hip hop, you don't deserve it.

This "hiphop is dead" narrative is lazy as fukk.

it ain't got that same excitement it once had. for me, listenin' to it now has became almost like a chore just to find somethin' new and even when i do find somethin' new and kinda of cool, it only sticks to me for like a minute. it ain't got no "stayin' power" as barry white use to say. hip hop is stale and played now (has been for close to 20 years) but it's now to the point where it's just flat out a parody of what it once was

for real breh? since 1994? the entire golden era was played and stale?

 

[Kingshango]

It's not dead, I just accepted that this current hip hop isn't for me. But for those who fukk with it, more power to ya.

This. We all know there are some new gems buried under all of the commercial manure they shovel down our throats, but it's hard to make time to go looking for it.

If you have time to post on the Coli, you have time to look.

Just remember, multiple times in the 80's people at that time thought pop music was dead.

But to us 80's kids that music was timeless.

Right now some generation thinks this music is timeless.

Oh, this is a common thought from hip hop "purists" and even some artists. Listen to De La Soul's "Stakes is High". Classic album but its pretty much griping about the state of hiphop in 1996.

I don't think its the fact that it's "dead". I don't think it's dead, but you have to admit, it's a little uninspiring and boring. Come on, the excitement is gone.

When diff regions collabed, it was like a god like experience back in the day.. Outkast/Raekwon, Jay/UGK, Jay/Junenile, Big/Bone Thugs, Pac/Wu, Snoop/No Limit.. This is just one example of how much more the excitement was with rap back then..

Then on top of it you had actual competition... No everyone was so friendly with each other... Beef spawned great rivalries and competition..

The personalities... Cam, ODB, Master P, Snoop, Mos, DMX, Redman, Dungeon Fam, Em, Mobb Deep, Bone Thugs, Dre, Nore, etc...

Edit: I mean look at the collabs nowadays and tell me how they compare "excitment wise" with collabs of the past... ASAP "Problems"/"1 Train", French Montana "Pop That", any Dj Khaled song...

Sounds pretty laughable when you put it like that.
Hey if somebody can get excited about music coming out today, more power to you. But you're not convincing me to believe hip-hop is just fine

Lol, another edit to my post... There's a reason why that Tink record got such a great response from the public... It was a new and refreshing record... While the back and forth has been done numerous times in Hip Hop, in todays' game, it's not something that is a common standard... You don't hear it as often, and executed with the energy that song had.....

Its been terrible for some time now. Nas' last album is the only album i truly felt. Its gotten worse over the years to the point its pretty unbearable.

 

[Goat poster]

Hip-Hop is trash right now,

The apologist and excuse makers on this site want me to dig through 1000 WACK rappers to find ONE ABOVE AVERAGE rapper

NAH

You can love hip-hop and still call it out on it's bullshyt, as a matter of fact by not supporting the vast majority of this bullshyt I feel like I'm doing whats best for the culture.

ALSO the majority of rappers yall big up as alternatives to listen to when convos like this come up are usually AVERAGE and NOTHING SPECIAL.

VERY FEW GREAT RAPPERS OR PROJECTS HAVE DEBUT WITHIN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.

Hip-hop is stale.
