What subgenre of rap do you listen to the most?

[White City Black]

Lately I’ve been bouncing around. That old 90s Memphis “Devil Shyt,” but also lo-fi and phonk. Been revisiting Hyphy, I ain’t even funk with it when it was actually going on but I dig a lot of it. This “neo-dust” term is right over my head, gotta check some of that out lol

I've really been on that Playa/Motivation music as well as a lot of Christian rap, which is still under motivation and lifestyle music.

Great poll results.

But this community is on average older than some of y'all realize.

I just stick with my 90s shyt.

Since music is more split than ever and more and more posters in the booth seem to not know what they're talking about because they really only listen to 1-2 types of rap, i wanna see where people really spending their time

Take Detroit out of Drill, our shyt is just simply Detroit Rap. It’s regional. not drill.

Neo dust, and 90s and 00s vets

I also like avante grade but Denzel curry and amino are not that so I didn’t vote for it

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

For me:

90's vets
Motivational
Avant Garde
Neo-Dust

Ethiopian/ American/ UK Jazz, Black rock/punk and trip hop when I'm not on those waves.

 

[SilverSamurai]

Neo dust and 90s vets. Sometimes I'll listen to mainstream (trap and non trap) and 00s vets

rap having subgenres is stupid

Why so ?

 

[Renegade47]

Why so ?

it doesnt work because rap music is a fusion genre. look at some of the “subgenres” bro stitched together alot of the artist bleed across multiple “subgenres”. it doesnt work because rap itself never had one sound because its always been a collage of multiple genres turned into something new.

it's actually not, there's no reason to be comparing pharoahe monch to jay z to big sean to kodak black. rap needs to be more like rock and be very serious about adopting sub genres, it makes analysis of the music a lot more fair.

no one says you have to fit in one sub genre, most music and film doesnt. a thriller can be a drama or a horror as well. a alternative band could be punk and grunge. no one said you're limited to only fitting into one sub genre as that's not how it works anywhere else in music
