frush...come on now....the amount of underground music you're into you're better than this opinion. young thug is hip hop.
it's a generational thing
the cats in the 80's looked at the 90's hip hop...and said that sh1t wasnt hip hop
the cats in the 90's looked at mis 00's ringtone rap...and said that sh1t wasn't hip hop
the cats in the 80,90 and 00's look at this hip hop...and say this sh1t isn't hip hop
as far as i'm concerned...all this resistance against the young thugs, yatchy's etc just lets me know they're on the right path because hip hop has always been the young mans game for young people.
the genre has to find ways to move forward
and best believe you do NOT want them to seperate this from hip hop because this is what the kids are fuccin with. you seperate this from hip hop and that will be the final nail in hip hop's coffin...and it will be a very quick death
and for the record i don't fucc with yatchy, thug or any of them cats
100% false and I'm

that so many people Dapped you.
shyt went off the rails in the 00's but prior to that, specifically the 80's and 90's, there was a close musical relationship between the two generations. You had people like Marley Marl coaching RZA, you had Kane mentoring Jay....you had groups like Stetsasonic that were friends with AZ....not to mention everyone from Outkast to Mobb Deep doing songs with 80's legends.

at "rap is a young man's game". No it's not. The shyt is 40 years old. The problem is, and I've spoken on this before, every generation prior to this one had their own shyt. The 50's had doo wop, the 60's had psychedelic rock and Motown, the 70's had funk, soul and disco, and the 80's and 90's had hip-hop and contemporary R&B. You got people in their 20's trying to claim a genre of music that existed 20 years before they were born. It's retarded. It would be like someone born in the 70's trying to claim disco.
And for the record I don't even think rap should be divided into sub-genres but I'm

that you think rap is so delicate it would be impacted by all these random ass "rappers" being relegated to different sub-genres. As if Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert is really keeping the shyt alive. People aren't even going to remember who the fukk they are 5 years from now.
