I feel like 2024 officially marks the year that I’m just no longer interested in this s***. Rappers refuse to grow and s*** is getting weird ignorant and worst of all, boring. And I’m not just talking commercial/trap/drill s*** either. I’m talking about the entire genre. Dusty rappers doing their best 90s rap impression and coke rappers on alchemist type beats just as uninspired imo. Rage trap was fun for a sec but that’s proven itself to be a gimmick pretty much. Obscure rappers usually obscure for a reason and previous gen A-List rappers like the big 3 and such are aging out and can’t continue to carry this s*** and honestly unless they do something different I’m good on them too lol.

Like I’ve pretty much checked out at this point and I no longer engage with the music or culture for entertainment. Honestly kinda reminds me of how I felt when I quit smoking weed, it’s like a new sense of mental clarity lol it’s wild.

Not tryna rain on anyone else’s parade or be negative, at the end of the day it’s entertainment so if it’s entertaining you then that’s great but yeah hip-hop just doesn’t do it for me anymore sadly and unless there is a major shift this might be permanent. Hip-hop been my favorite genre all my life so me disengaging from it kinda simultaneously disengaged me from music as a whole so I’m gaming a lot more these days, watching YouTube, movies etc. Even on here I’m mostly in gaming section now if anything because there is nothing going on rap wise that I even care to talk about lol. Like the current gen dropped the ball to the point that I’m good fr

Anyone else reach this point?

Nope. Never.

Vultures out Feb 9

when I quit smoking weed all I felt was nihilism & soul crushing reality

I don't think I'm ready to give up on rap yet

Have no desire to hear it tbh Ye a shell of his former self

Idk about that but I really need this new Q project to be good

I just been listening to honor killed the samurai and stove god cooks

I'm sure there's great stuff out there but I just don't care. Plenty of other things I'm way more interested in now.

I'll always have my classics

op listens to real music now

Please leave these bullshit threads in 2023

Exactly where I’m at

Honestly a lot of the UK rap is the most refreshing s*** coming out

if you feel that way go post on JazzToThe

Nope, I never will.

A lot of my favorite rappers are still dropping dope albums.

@Rap I love you, b****. I ain't gonna never stop loving you, b****.

Nah ima always love this s*** flaws and all

On the contrary, I do think the genre as we know it will be unrecognizable by end of decade

to give up on it completely is absurd. music is a constantly evolving thing u never know what will come next

don’t expect any new rappers to deliver album or tape length project that will impact the genre and more while doing decent sales. all the regional sound being pushed gets few hot singles here n there but thats it

no lol

no

I love music as a whole

Once you grow old you start playing everything

There’s no giving up one thing

Sometimes its a Geek High type of day

Sometimes its a Bobby Womack type of day

Sometimes its a I gave you power type of day

You gotta love this music s***
