“Rap” listeners and artists right now who didn’t grow up listening to rap are trying to force the genre to mirror what they grew up listening to instead (nu metal, emo, screamo, etc.). It’s unhealthy and overall bad for rap.
hip hop is getting stale, it's time as the number 1 'rockstar' genre will start to pass soon
uk rap is criminally underrated. some of the most original and forward-thinking young rappers in the world right now are british.
little simz, slowthai, loyle carner & dave are prime examples.
the production is nice too. nice change up from what we get from american rap which is a bit stale imo
Just because something is "new" doesn't mean it is good. Infact alot of this "new" s*** isn't even all that "new". It's the usual lyrical content we've heard from Soundcloud rappers of the early to mid 2010s, just with even less effort and more reliance on the production...which isn't even listenable in comparison to s*** we were getting from 2010-2017.
My unpopular music opinion is that music is actually in a pretty great place.
It really is. Niggas just be saying s*** came and went cuz there's a lot of music that drops and they can't understand that we can't be constantly talking about everything at once.
yup, but i still don't revisit it like I should. starting to think Ty will never have that project for me
Same, I think it’s maybe like a 8.75-8.0
His other albums slightly lower imo
Still an amazing artist
Music was mid this year
how miserable you must be to think so compared to last year
When I say preserve hip hops sound, I don’t mean keeping it dusty. That’s a black/white way to think.
You can preserve what makes hip hop great and still evolve it within its genre. You don’t have to mix with other genres to evolve. That just waters the s*** down
There's a way to blend genres without watering it down. Graduation - MBDTF era Kanye deff proved this.
MBDTF had hella prog rock, electro pop, etc. influences on it.
The difference is Kanye's still a hip hop head at heart and is a huge fan of dudes like Pete Rock, Madlib, Dilla etc.
These new niggas fetishize other genres without doing the proper research on their own genre
We have decades and decades of music available at our fingertips and nobody cares, crazy
CMIYGL came and went
critically acclaimed Grammy nominated classik has 500m streams stay mad

Barely gets any spins now
Not even What’s Your Name
I can't be bothered to keep up with the latest rap anymore. I don't listen to DaBaby, Lil Baby, Jack Harlow etc. I've been out since around that Lil Pump/XXX era I honestly can't sit through an entire project of what these new niggas are making
Yes, I'm dusty
real. i'm right with you mane.
only got time for the people putting out real quality work now. not interested in another 15-track tape with generic bangers. been listening to a lot of other genres instead.

Yeah, honestly, we don't need any more music
No album really came and went, niggas just expect people to constantly talk about a project the way they did on release day which is dumb.
2021 was the best year for music in a LONG time.
Nobody cares about these little white pseudo SoundCloud rappers yall gas up outside of here.
Drake can still make catchy music and hit records but unless you’re really invested in the idea of Drake as a celebrity / brand his music ain’t gonna hit for you like it did in the TC/NWTS/IRYITL years
WSG, Mach Hommy and Boldy James are the best on Griselda by miles
It’s really dope that Kanye can still experiment with sounds this late in his career but he needs albums that have more Life Of The Party - esque records. And by that I mean the fact that some of the best received Ye records seem to be the classy sounding ones where he’s rapping rapping or getting stuff of his chest. I’m not saying his albums should be 100% in this style, I’m saying that this style should be represented more
Kings Disease 2 honestly might be a top 5 Nas album
Rap is still a fairly new genre but a lot of niggas trying to do it is watering it down, and i think in a few years black people might invent a new genre that incorporates rap into other black genres
Bandcamp one of the best platforms for discovering new artists tbh
Race My Mind literally sounds like a flaccid d***. That melody is awful.
There’s a couple Drake songs where he’s just warbling on a track and he sounds lame af.

Decent takes overall but Benny The Butcher can give both WSG and Boldy run for their money tbh
