The Music Shift Changed Everything From Dance Floors to VIP Culture

[Rollie Forbes]

This popped up in my algorithm too. I'm not sure which is the cause and which is the effect. Did the clubs change because of the music or the other way around? I can see arguments for both positions.

Great question.

There are several reasons why night life has fallen off. The music itself is part of it but the price gouging by black clubs has been a big issue. A lot of people stay home and dont go out as much and cause it's too expensive and a wasteof money. $40 to park. $40 to get in and then you pay over $20 per drink. Now add in the fact that you don't have a great time cause folks just standing around or you may have to dodge bullets so folks just sat its not worth it.

Another big reason people forget is the rise of online dating. Going out and being social used to the be the best way to meet women. People went out to socialize and meet people. Dating apps originally had a negative stigma to them.. they were for the socially awkward folks. Tinder kind of changed that when it blew up. Most people are meeting online now and it's cheaper and easier than meeting someone at a club.

Yep. From Puffys time, prices been an issue. Then the South blew up ans eventually Trap music brought the likesnof Gucci Mane to push the divide.

Back before trap blew up, you could be a regular 9 to 5 dudes and be OK. Now, you gotta be this IG clout demon kingpin just to step foot inside the club and the VIP crap causes more animosity and divide than anything.

Songs are too short to dance to nowadays. Can’t dance to a song about bussin at the oops that’s 1:30 minutes long.

I get so mad when I come across a great song I've never heard before and it's 1:30 with a single verse. Just lazy.

The music changed first, I was there for the shift.

Shortly after Chief Keef came out party rap and party rappers (Travis Porter, Soulja Boy, Roscoe Dash types) died a quick death to make room for more Lil Durks and King Von types.

The music also became more playlist/headphone focused and less club type tracks. Juice Wrld was my dude but his music wasn't good for the club. Same for Kendrick etc.

The music became hella antisocial as fast as the people did. Club nikkas nowadays want to drop IG stories of them lip syncing a hot song into their camera then spend the rest of the club time staring into space

oh yeah also trash ass dj's that cant dj

We don't make music we can vibe to on the dancefloor.

Too many suspect dudes policin' dudes on the dancefloor.
Too much booty shakin' from the women and no hip poppin'.
Y'all got the clubs integrated so the DJ gotta play too many watered down joints.
Young cats ain't vibin' with Teddy Riley.
Nobody wanna look like a silly gettin' loose doin' they dance.
Everybody gotta do the new dance.
And the labels sucked up all the regional sounds, monopolized radio and killed the vibe.
I want ten minute trap-house instrumentals with a raw bassline and some hard drums.
Black music and black musicians lost they way from the dancefloor.
Shyt too much about metric-led aesthetics and not about havin' fun anymore.
Ain't nobody got the fun hard club hits we vibin' with to just dance to.
That's why they turnin' the gym into the club.


Club supposed to go up Thursday night to Sunday morning, not Tuesday.

Club scene been dead in the States for a long time . Overseas was probably the best I've seen but I noticed the hookah/vip bottle service creeping in but I haven't been out to a club in years and that was down in corktown ... I'm glad I got to experience the crunk era

 

[Striving For Greatness]

at least 50 had two songs for urban radio/clubs and two songs for the white radio/clubs on that album

he stayed true to the game and actually tried to cater to a variety of hiphop fans
