In 5-7 years, rap music will be....(long read)

Pretty simple.
You could tell Iggy was being primed as being the first white female rapper to blow up. But a combination of stuff like the overly done accent, some bad PR moments, and maybe some mismanagement by TI's ppl made her fall short. She's not finished tho, and I think if they get her under a different management team she'll win.
hip hop I grew up to love is over I feel bad for my son

In 5 to 7 years there will be openly gay male hiphop artists. Some will probably even have ties to the street. If any rapper tries to use it as an insult watch that artist get dropped from their label. You've seen the corporate influence on this hiphop Drake vs Meek beef.
Watch the corporate takeover be complete when hiphop will follow the same code of ethics as the corporate world. Politically correct corporate hiphop

"Corporate rap"
The rap music we loved is gonna be like footage of racism from the 50's-60s. It'll be viewed as a "a dark period that we've grown & moved beyond"

I think you have a couple of factors going on here. I always say that the doom of black culture is assimilation. Its not bad, its not good. Its inevitable. You're not going to have the same soul come out of the middle class suburbs for the most part, that people in rural towns or the old inner-city. Playing instruments isn't cool anymore. Almost no jazz or blues influence. And for hip-hop alone, that true grime experience is a bit different now. Those dudes were influenced by music people and not necessarily just rap people to go along with that grime. Where will that group of music people come from in the next generation? I think that's the difference you can feel with some artists like Kendrick or even Lupe. Its telling when people can look at "For Free?" and not get where its coming from musically and just think its garbage. You can feel they are working with music people who are trying to make music and not just trends or just making money. I've always been big on who produces an artist. I put that together with cultural assimilation, because its not being passed down much and a lot of that is production. I think this is a world-wide thing though. Everywhere you have people trying to hang onto their traditional sounds, customs, etc, but are battling the mainstream where kids world-wide listen to the same music and dress the same. Everything is melting into a pop sound.
The other side is the money push. The money side is different(and better for artists), but that means other sources of money becoming prominent to those who want to exploit it. You can't have a Wu-tang selling M&Ms. Sprite was as mainstream as it used to get for rappers and those ads were for the "urban audience". Now everyone sells, and you have to be in the middle to do that.

I'm 21 and started b-boying when I was 6. I have friends that played at blues festivals when we were teenagers.
To say there's no influence is ridiculous, you're just not in the streets talking to the youth. The other day I showed my brother's friend what jazz is, in relation to dorian modes, and how the piano relates to modal jazz. If you think "the kids these days are on the wrong path," then go down to their level and actually talk to them, don't just sit on the internet and bytch about it. Both my parents were educators, my dad taught at Richmond high in the early 90s. Sometimes you have to actually go outside and talk to people.
fukk, some group of kids just came through my studio and snapped pictures of the records in my collection they wanna look up. They're always talking about Madlib and shyt. What I don't understand is how half the internet seems to think hip-hop is all Future/Currensy while the other half of the internet seems to think it's all Complex/Fader whitewashed action bronson bullshyt. Yet neither one of those sides ever seems to actually be in the streets talking to the children. Y'all just wanna believe what you wanna believe so it gives you a reason not to go out and try to get through to the youth.

This is bullshyt. As long as there are projects, ghettos, hood bytches, hood dudes, EBT, welfare and shootouts and basically broke people, there will always be music coming out of the streets.
That article is some in the moment fukk boy shyt. Record labels don't fukking matter. With social media the music world will be more diverse than ever in 5 years.
I think what he really should say is that in 10 years, main stream hip hop won't matter.

You're talking about small groups. I'm talking about entire cultural influence. The things you are into were mainstream. Even growing up in the 80s, the influence and culture was not as strong as it was in the 70s. Its not internet pessimism and its not unique to us. I know plenty of young classical Indian artists and have been to a lot of their events. Meanwhile its the pop artists that are bringing in the big crowds, sales, and influence.
Social media is making shyt smaller. Can you really say their is even regional music now in the US?
Hip hop music is a business and whatever makes money is what they're gonna push. Rapper's delight was ghostwritten by. Grandmaster Caz.
Fortunately the people who were struggling in the hood were getting put on and making some money. Now people who come from more privileged backgrounds are taking the places of the people who are going through it smh.

Ur right. There will always be music coming from the struggle. But don't expect it to be the focal point of radio like it used to be.
Unless Ur making music about the struggle for your own peace of mind, you might as well spend that time making whats popular
