What made people stop caring about authenticity in Hip Hop?

[I love Latina women]

 

[CrushedGroove]

Social media. Since no one is authentic on that shyt, they listen to shyt that is as outrageous or inauthentic as their own line persona.

the majority of the fanbase is not from the block

they aren't from the neighborhood that produces the culture

so they don't care who's legit

hungry opportunists accept this & see they can now push anyone & anything to to burbs

what is popping on a commercial level & what folks are listening to in their own neighborhoods are often very different

there's two sides

Hip Hop comes from the hood

yeah, but shyt just feels different. again, maybe it's just my age and different perspective. shyt was wild in the middle of the crack era. when I look at it now, it seems so... sterile
