kendrick is trash and was a big eye opeener for me when everyone d*** rode his ass to legend status. Im just an old head with his old head views tho so dont mind me. oh and f*** drake too.

LISTEN TO M.O.P.
F*** this sawft ass s*** that rap has turned into.

No. Just you

I think the idea that your relationship with rap can change such that you become disinterested/detached from rap is okay

But to react to that fact by saying that ur gna give up on rap because it doesn’t feed you the same way it did a decade ago is ridiculous

Change is inherent to the human experience. Don’t fault rap for being human

That being said, rap is life

Ur just old now

The new gen of rap won’t be remembered in 5 years but to give up on the genre completely is laughable

Enter Drake and Chance lol

Both fumbled for different reasons

Glover/Gambino did right but since 2016 the game isn’t set up for him to really be a prominent rap figure with him not really going hard on the “I’m a shooter or my friends are” s*** lol

dancehall

I think the thing is tho is that rappers don’t just turn into dust when they turn 30

It’s enough people born in the 90’s let alone 1980 and beyond that rap and could make relatable music for their age but the game just rewards trend chasing and we all accept it as the way it is.

Enter what Andre said. Enter people calling Joe and whoever else a hater for asking for Drake to make “real” music for a man in his late 30’s because “da charts”

At the same time we revere Future and Wayne for being timeless and always relevant because they do the same thing. Carti and Veeze who both will soon be 30+ will probably flourish with a similar trajectory. And while the big day sucked ultimately we killed off chance for making intimate music about his real life. Why would niggas try to go deeper than easy listening trendy background music?

It gets deep lol

old

I understand why you feel this way but i’m still finding good s*** ever so often

I think rap at its best nowadays is just music that is fun to listen to on release and maybe for a week or two past that but its not interesting enough to actually be music worth playing past that

Outside of my favourites

Yeah I’m not checking for the genre as much as I once was

Just for reference, how old are you OP?

I don’t agree with OP’s post but this Q album + rollout is already giving me a vibe that I feel has been missing for years

aite then leave

i forgot how cool ye was

I can’t leave rap alone, my ears need it

If your love for the genre depends on your perception of whatever modern figures are out there then you need to rethink if youre really here for the genre or you just wanna trend hop for whatevers 'thriving' and rap is just a stepping stone/sound of a period of time for you

p****

I see what you mean

It always be niggas like @op (who was one of the biggest fatd supporters) that be heavy into exclusive mainstream music that talk this “giving up on hip hop” talk like can yall niggas go somewhere lol

uk has the best rappers out easy

Mac was 22 when he dropped Faces. Me and my bro were talking about it the other day - we not really finding new rappers that can drop a consistently great project. Just an album with 4 or so songs we really f*** with and feel meh about the rest

The most recent album by an unknown artist that managed to blow me away was probably Don't Go Tellin Your Momma by Topaz Jones
