The activists have won.

You can't rap about the following:
  • drugs
  • gangs
  • capitalism
  • women, the ones you love and the ones you hate
  • whine about life
  • success
  • violence
So whats left?

I guess this is why I've been just listening to more jazz, r&b, alternative, afrobeats/reggae stuff in addition to even trying to get back to classical.

Whats left to listen to?

You can rap about anything as long as the skills and production are on point.

There's certainly more to the artform than just glorifying the worst and most negative aspects of the human condition.

:russ: Is this about Drake…look the critique of “you’re too old to be rapping/singing about blank topics” or “blank artist needs to grow up.” Has alway been a talking point in the music industry. Especially HipHop…didn’t Drake Stan’s not get at Pusha. For still rapping about coke in his 40s lol. Even Jay got hit with that “you’re too old” shyt. Drake and HipHop going to be ok bruh.

There’s already a balance of all
types of music, what are you talking about? Anyone can find anything they want to listen to, it’s never been any easier. Balance is key.
