rap/hip hop is getting boring

[observe]

96 for me.

Yeah you could say hip hops been dead in the mainstream since 96..I was just talking about good albums that came out in 98..Rawkus was trying to bring back real hip hop for a while

1996 was the last great year in rap.

Personally for me, rap has been getting boring because of the recent trends. Rappers spittin like they're on lean. Using boring trap beats with the annoying electronic hi-hat flourishes. Also, major record studios constantly push similar sounds so it's a race to the bottom. It happens in pop music too, which is why a lot of pop music either sounds like an Avicii reject or Chic circa 1979 reject.

The problem isn't necessarily the rapping for me, it's the production. We need producers who dream of doing stuff that's never been heard before. Beats, sounds that are obscure but are clear bangers. We need dreamers, not followers. Otherwise, hip hop will go the way of rock music and us black folk haven't invented a new genre to escape a future bad hip hop trajectory.

yes, escaping hip hop and creating a new genre just for the same thing to happen is definitely the answer. if youre so willing to just give up on something instead of fighting to preserve it.. you must not care about it all that much in the first place.

this thread sounds so damn cynical and fukking negative. just a bunch of fukking bytching from people who want something out of hip hop but don't want to contribute ANYTHING to it.

hip hop sucks right now? OKAY, SO GET INVOLVED AND DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! this is the part of the problem.. people just fukking bytch about shyt and leave it up to others to take in a direction they hope for and it doesn't... and they are left unsatisfied.

underground hip hop culture still exists, so its not like it's completely fukkin dead. people would say the same shyt about rock or punk is dead.. but nope. it's not. as someone who was actively involved in punk/hardcore and actually contributed to it and spent a lot of time participating and involved in that culture.. it's still alive. but not cause people jumped fukkin ship and said "fukk, it the commercialization wah wah wah is killing the culture lets move on" . fukk no.. but because people actively participated to preserve it and protect it. if youre not willing to do that, you genuinely don't care.

i'm just trolling.

i always disagree with the hip hop is dead statement.
mainstream music never loved us, there's tons of artists making indie music who don't recieve their dues. anything of value is worth going after, same with music, you don't got to accept what we're force fed

@Exile Drew the reason why music stores are closing because the consumer don't go out and buy cd's anymore when we start supporting stores then we will get the hot shyt back into the forefront.

Nah b

You got to think ahead, certain things can't/ain't meant to be saved.
Record stores? That can go for all genres man. iTunes has shyt on lock, a lot of people just buy digital versions. If we supported "real" music even digitally it'd have the same effect you want.
