Poll: Is it time for Black Americans to start a new genre of music?

[Serious]

I feel like I've heard of this cat before. I'mma check it out


But yeah Knx is dope. He's the producer for Anderson Paak in their group NxWorries. His bandcamp is full of remixes and stuff that he's made. He has some instrumental stuff too but a good chunk of his tapes are his own beats with acapellas over it, but it's pretty dope. He has some Pac ones recently that were

Skimmed through a few youtube sessions. Heard enough.

Spoiler

Guy is talented. I just gotta sit down pick the songs I can vibe to on a regular basis.

This was a track my homie produced in HS:

I was like

 

[King Poetic]

The first thing that is important, but won’t happen... blacks need to stopped selling themselves and the music out for a 3 room apartment and a Benz for their own music we create

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

The other day I came to conclusion that I can't support any form of rap indulges in killing, robbing, gang banging, prostitution or any form of promoting instead addressing degeneracy. There are a few rare exceptions like Tupac, Big, or Quik....

Every other contemporary artist is out of my rotation.

Solid hiphop artist / groups like the roots, mos def, common, etc will always be in my playlist. That's that positive get right shyt...

Nowadays I'm not even trying hear lyrics for the most part. Why? Because there's nothing that a 22 year old rapper like Blueface could possibly tell me about life.

Getting women? Killing someone? Stunting on someone?

I've dabbling instrumental chillhop for the past 10 years.

Smooth sounds from artists like masego and nujabes are the wave. It's blend of hiphop heavily influenced by jazz elements like the sax and trumpet. It's very chill.





This is grown man shyt, that i can listen to and get my mind right
If cats can dominate this lane of making very chill beats, I'd gladly pay for it.

I had to share fifty-leven tracks on here so far and not one was promoting degeneracy except for "FaceTime"... That one is a lil

Nujabes is dead breh checkout Mndsgn tho, he's a dope too. These are asians tho

Masego was one of my artists to watch this year but I'm a lil underwhelmed by his debut album.

Dude the major labels all own stakes in the 3 biggest streamijg services
(spotify...sony)

(apple music.. Interscope)

(google play.. Warner)


and let's not forget digital aggreators(distributors) like Arena and Tunecore which became a subsidiary of Universal when I first signed my artists up for their services in 2015...

You can't do it on a national/global level without a label in 2019

Being INDEPENDENT IS AN OXYMORAN

I feel like this about to turn violent

BLACK FOLKS DON'T NEED TO START ANOTHER DAMN GENRE OF MUSIC

UNTIL WE FIRST CREATE THE BUSINESS INFRASTUCTURE NEEDED TO CAPITILIZE OFF OF IT
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


TIRED OF US CREATING...AND INNOVATING AND NOT BEING ABLE TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF IT

ITS A FUKKING SHAME..WE CAN'T EVEN CREATE NEW DANCES WITHOUT OTHERS EATING OFF OF IT

YOU GOT FUKKING ZUMBA INSTRUCTERS AND FORTNIGHT GAME DEVELOPERS MAKING $$$ off of TWERKING and EVERY FACEBOOK DANCE CHALLENGE US BLACK FOLKS PUT OUT IN THE ATMOSPHERE....

FUUKKING SHAME...

START LEARNING THE IMPORTANCE OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES AND COPYWRIGHTS...

TEACH OUR KIDS THAT AS OPPOSED TO JUST ENCOURAGING TO SING AND DANCE

FOR THE "OTHER MAN"

BOSS UP OR GET BOSSED AROUND

So much right. This could be its own thread.

I'm sure either generation Y or the one that flows it will usher in a new Genre. The thing is you can't force it breh, it has to be organic. Btw it'll most likely be an offshoot from hip hop or R&B, the same way hip hop came from funk, Doo Wop begat soul which begat R&b

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Us in DC tried with Gogo but ya'll fronted on us

All facts smdh.

 

[ISO]

Hip Hop constantly reinvents himself

 

[GreenGhxst]

the human voice only has a certain range, the instrumentation has to be the thing that will morph into something different

im talking about different sound completely, producers should be experimenting

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

1. Blacks create new genre
2. Cacs will hate it at first
3. Artists open the door for all instead of racially circling the wagons
4. Cacs start mimicking the style
5. Cacs get signed on
6. Cacs get put on by big-money corps and black artists
7. Cac is named best at what he/she does
8. Cacs took over while black artists gets pennies.
9. See Jazz, Rock-n-Roll, HIp hop

 

[Tommy Knocks]

I really thought juke aka footwork was gonna go further



Nola bounce had something but it never evolved and got too repetitive


They can't mimick bounce cause no way they moving like this

Generation Y are Millennials, we're old and the youngest are 24, we're not creating anything new and relevant. Generation Z are the youth atm an they're loving their Soundcloud shyt and hip hop is the biggest genre atm. We probably have another cultural generation, perhaps the infants right now until something new is created.

By then we'll all be too old to appreciate whatever mess they come up with.

 

[Hey_zeus]

It's been time. Hip hop is over 40 and been infiltrated for 30 years. History has shown we usually move to the next at this point.

 

[Tom Foolery]

No. Time to hit the books and study.

 

[Wear My Dawg's Hat]

Us in DC tried with Gogo but ya'll fronted on us

That GoGo didn't expand beyond the confines of the DMV region is one of the great cultural questions of the past 40 years.
