There's still some raw hip hop out there, guys like WSG, Conway, Benny, Dave East, Meyhem Lauren are creating good music out there along others i haven't mentioned. It's just people not paying attention. It's now living in the underground and you're gonna have to really look for it. The mainstream stuff is always east to find since it's what's always being pushed on other hip hop news sites.

He's telling the truth...

Da Baby sounds the same in every single song and apparently he is the best rapper of our generation so far.

We need rappers that are diverse in their sounds.

I feel like Lil Baby does that which is why he is my personal favorite rapper.

Trap is getting :trash: and we need a new sound

He's not wrong. Most people aren't historians nor heads like us to dig. So it appears everybody copying one or two sounds. I havent been excited by the xxl freshman magazine cover in years.
Rap has never not been repetitive

music is repetitive

Some of that raw hip hop is so boring though

drake headlines for example is so much more enjoyable than just boom bap beat with bars

people need to be more creative just bars isn’t gonna work anymore

Nah that element is still needed for Hip Hop, it's basically one of the original types. Guys like Kool G, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim, N.W.A. all influenced guys like Jay, Nas, 50, etc. Without that type of style it would just be all sappy. We need guys showing off their skills on the mic.

Funny thing is it’s not even hard to look for. Most people have streaming services so ‘underground’ music is usually pretty easily accessible. Saying there’s no good music in 2019 is an embarrassing take to have.

Yeah but music is meant to be enjoyed above anything else

I like some Griselda stuff but then there’s other Griselda stuff that is just boring

lucha bros is griseldas best work imo cause it’s just more enjoyable than other songs like dr birds

I dabble into some of the newer stuff so i'm kind of in tune with what's going on. There's something for everyone. I'm just not a fan of everything, i hand pick what i like.

They got a good share of stuff that's dope though. I grew up on the hardcore stuff so i appreciate it more than other. I'm also a fan of R&B, Soul and oldies.

All these nikkas copying thugger but they haven’t unlocked more than 2 flows:francis:


thugger to influential
Whole game sound like em


YSL ran 2019:wow:
YSL the new Cash money
Whole game? This is cap. Outside of Gunna Baby and Lil Keed. Most of the game sounds like Wayne/Gucci/Kanye clones.
