To the extent Kendrick and Kanye killed the genre, it would primarily be due to the fact they brought a bunch of indie rock hipsters and pop heads into hip hop and now we have to listen to you all b**** and moan constantly, acting like experts despite secretly having the utmost disdain for the genre and culture

Billy Woods yet to miss.

fr

tell these niggas man

S*** I ain't even get to posting $ilkmoney's albums lol

Ion know OP. Maybe you just need to start listening to more hip-hop post 2015.

listening to funcrusher plus right now

there’s a new version of this thread every month

someone blames x rapper for a brilliant project, claiming it broke the genre. other users blame/shit on other artists not named in op to further agendas. rinse and repeat.

Ion even care for Smino much, but the concept of, and themes behind, Luv 4 Rent were pretty great. Very relatable album for those struggling with re-discovering and loving themselves after loss

Hell yeah.

idk bro this my first time seeing a thread where the op said someone made an album so good that it made expectations too high for the genre

some of y'all really in denial that hip hop has been gradually declining since 97

these albums are great but they are far from this mount olympus which they are painted as

and I'm not talking about the glimpses of peak rap we got (mmlp, grodt, c2, mbdtf, gkmc etc), but about the scene slowly becoming more homogenized due to commercialization and the lack of diversity and creativity across different mcs

legend has it that drake stan was @Delete1

Fair enough, that’s your opinion and I can’t argue that. Respect

Yeah MMLP ruined rap imo

You was selling ass for Taylor Swift bro we dont wanna hear NOTHING you gotta say

His greatest album of all time

very disrespectful take and I’m tired of you niggas talking down on trap music like this it’s slick racist (self hate if you black) these niggas just not that creative today. gotta be the only genre expected to keep changing every 2-3 years that you don’t even appreciate everything, goddamn

mmlp and eminem in general belong in the same category as biggie and kendrick, like their greatness is so unique that it barely influenced the general sound of hip hop as a whole cuz no one could convincingly replicate them

rent free lol

what was disrespectful and racist about op’s opinion about trap music?

And of course how can we forget the trap Mm.. Food?
