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?
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.
