going to a nettspend show tn if that answers your question

Glad we lost you to video games

Nobody gives a s*** about your block of pretentious text for why you no longer are interested in rap music

This. I second this so hard. The sounds coming there are so fresh they left off where Octavian started and took to to a whole nother level.

I did years ago. I just keep up with my faves

The way this post struck a nerve with so many people is because even if you hate to admit it what op is saying is easily relatable

yeah for the most part besides my few corners.

the electronic scene fills the gap for me, from the mainstream to the underground. And gives me "that feeling" that i dont get in rap anymore.

idrc whats poppin anymore in Rap because as of right now its not for me, but I still like my favs - the few underground that I do enjoy - and I'll still watch stuff here n there.

but yeah its boring overall for me personally. its mostly either a retread of stuff i like already and experienced but worst, or stuff that is so left its barely rap that doesnt do anything for me.

it is no longer my main genre which it was for me since i came out the womb

somewhere between 2018 to 2021 "my era" died

but like i said i still like my corners and my favs

vultures feb 9th

enjoy.

Interesting to me that my interest in the genre as a whole definitely took a nose dive when Ye started beginning to suck (Pablo era, even tho he had a couple good tracks then and since).

Feel like he sky rocketed the genre to new heights 2000-2013 and then everyone was left trying to find someone else to lead the innovative/creative push, but there was no one to fill Ye’s shoes

Same

Ye was so incredibly special man

Expectations are pretty low

Who knows maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised

LOL at quitting rap for video games when video games been creatively bankrupt for years.

Watchu playing bruh? Fortnite and Palworld?

Nah, the whole rap is dead thing is corny, entitled and impatient and it feels like a narrative concerning a large exodus of rap visitors who've "grown" out their voyeuristic obsession with the genre. It's all good in hiphop bro, I can't picture myself listening to anything else if anything this slump (a very natural thing btw) is making me go back and appreciate albums I might have overlooked when the rush occurred and there are some artists I never even considered, I never liked lupe so I'm gonna try out T&Y, and any Cardo project cause he fye

As a rap fan, hopefully you find yourself way back fam , that punk ass b**** Harry Styles said it best; "it's not the same as it was", there are some heavyhitters I'm waiting on patiently (Blue Lips March 1st for example) and if these kids don't know what they're doing, all we have is our musical time machine love

I gotta do better I gotta do better I gotta do better theres nothing they can do that I cant do better better yet theres nothing I can do that I cant do better

Yeah im better

Why would I give up on one of the broadest umbrella genres in music

You guys sound like Lil Yachty saying he mastered rap

Knew I've outgrown the genre when I went to a festival last year and a bunch of white kids kept trying to mosh to JID. I'm in my old head phase, on my Sade and The Blue Notes s***👨‍🦳

"Anybody else gave up on singing?"

I never will

Idk I feel like there's a healthy new wave with Kenny Mason, Paris Texas, Redveil etc. Not everything gunna be for you but I guarantee if you search enough you'll find somebody pushing the genre

i honestly should quit but i cant.
Im knee deep in the underground rn but i cannot stand the mainstream sounds. none of it. it all sucks.
So when people ask me what i listen to
i like to say either jazz or jazzy rap. but im really balls deep in that westside gunn/esteenack shyt.
im embarassed what the genre has turned into.
u not the shyt u a .... fart?

Never. I live and breathe music and I'd never abandon a genre that has provided me with so much

There’s a really good new wave that nobody cares about because they aren’t the next Kendrick Lamar off rip

Kendrick was 23 when he dropped S80
