You should have realized that rap music is party music 1st and foremost and always will be.

If you can't respect artist being able to get a whole club moving no matter the region then rap isn't for you

I was young. The fukk does a teenager need with club music?

Of course its the reason.

How popular do you think the movie business would be if they just put out dumb, blow em up Michael Bay action blockbusters every week, to the exclusion of every other type of movie? No, you have action movies, comedies, dramas, romantic, artsy, etc.

Other genres in music have a range of interests and topics as well (except for EDM, and thats why its a fad genre that comes and goes), especially country which is why it has such an enduring popularity. Its only rap that wants to hit this consistent one-dimensional note of bugattis and molly, and the genre is starting to really suffer now. This is undeniable.

:comeon:

I only know rap and R&b and they have ALWAYS been about the same thing

So EDM is taking raps place in the mega clubs because of subject matter?:comeon:

how old are you, 10? Rap was very diverse in subject matter and sound until southern rap took over. It was popular at first, but the same limited and idiotic subject matter is taking a toll on the overall popularity of rap. Its common sense.

I already said that EDM is dumb, but its cornered the market on the club scene, so the one demo that hip hip is focusing on is abandoning them in droves. There is a world outside of the club, and instead of trying to market and appeal to different tastes and interests, rap continues to try to appeal to this club-going idiot.

You keep making excuses for why rap has fallen off a cliff in terms of sales, radio play, and overall popularity. Keep putting your head in the sand, breh.

Please stop arguing with that dumb ass nikka... I'm pretty sure he's half-way trolling you as well...

Gotta cosign this.

Subject matter means shyt if the song sounds good to people.

Nobody cares what the artist is talking about.

Artists have been singing about love for how long?

it doesnt matter to you and some people, but how are you going to make a claim that the quality and subject matter of a song doesnt matter anymore to anyone? This idiotic stance is the exact reason why rap is such a turn off to most people, and why fans have abandoned the art form in droves.

He never claimed this idk why u tried to sneak that quality in there as if he was referring to song quality as not mattering:wtb:
