This is the MOST STALE the game has ever been, I've never seen it like this

I mean...rappers really not saying shyt in these dire times:

  • No conscious rappers to discuss how fukked we are living
  • No animated rappers that are on some Luda/Busta shyt with skills
  • All the backpackers are on Bandcamp and hidden from the public
  • Coke raps= Modern day lyrical spirituals
The game is fukked if we keeping it a buck, but it's better to hear how much the weight is moved to some drumless beats vs a bunch of shirtless goofies waving guns and talking about some opps that got smoked :francis:

Rap is entertainment.

Drake been the hottest rapper for a decade and all the dudes he collabos with talking about money and bytches.

Ya'll still on that late 80's shyt?

I mean, I get what you saying. But, even the hottest female rappers are just IG models.

There's enough of that on Twitter. Rap in the same category as action movies as far as I'm concerned.

Guys like Drake still having a stranglehold on the game is an indictment on everyone else just as much as it is a credit to him.

Also the game has been decentralized so I don’t think there are gonna be grand culture shifting moments anymore

Thing is, Drake has been trying to leave rap for minute now:

R&B and House music >>>>

He knows where the future is, but "the masses" ain't ready for it.

"Underground" is trash too lol just bunch try hard wannabe nihilistic fake artsy mfs.

This is why college/grad school friends I know listen to hard ignorant shyt.

We're literally more educated/well-read/smarter(?) than these dudes so why listen to them with their basic shyt? Just give us vibes and escapism and we'll handle the rest.

The backpacker shyt is for people who have nothing else going on with themselves.

Thats also why the rise of house/dance music is hopefully a good thing.

I never ever understood why rap nerds prop up rappers that speak on societal issues

It's COINTELPRO type shyt to not even spark innovation or positivity on any level of black music anymore. That's why I don't feel bad when most rappers who are on that superficial shyt get robbed or career stalled, cause they practically ignore and disrespect their fanbases' every day lives.

Anyone that hates black socially conscious music are white supremacists themselves.

we ain’t got no new mega stars to pass the torch to. Whether you fukk with their shyt or not I think Pop, Juicewrld and XXX would have somewhat filled that lane for the younger generation :francis:

That is why Drake gonna be around making MEME music for another 15 more years.
