Blame the hip hop fans and media. Yall let mediocrity(putting it very kindly) slide within the genre for a decade+ now. “Scaring the hoes”, “shit doesn’t bump in the whip” “hip hop doesn’t need to say something” etc.. now rappers are afraid to be original and innovative.

There is very little room for greatness in a genre like that. Why basically nothing has stuck this entire decade other than a few Kendrick diss records and Old Town Road lol If a lot of the greatest songs in rap history came out today the modern day fans would trash em.

“Nobody is playing Brenda’s Got a Baby irl be so fr “ lol

The irony of the statement is that the two biggest current country stars, Morgan Wallen and Jelly Roll, are failed rappers

Compared to the surface level, mediocre rapping he does, sure. Compared to rappers who have crazy pens, absolutely not.

Also this mf uses writers.

ngl haven’t seen you make a valid point yet you just in here yapping

slick rick was punching in back in the day lol it’s not inherently low effort, niggas just not like that anymore

Not a bad take.

This man is incredibly delusional

Bro thinks he is famous

its harder to do country than make songs to play coming in and out of commercials during Texas A&M/Vanderbilt

Just not true.

Hip hop is a more accepting place so there is a lower barrier to entry but that doesn't mean that at high levels its any more or less difficult than any other genre.

The effort is simply in other arenas.

Country music for instance puts little to no effort in innovation whereas hip hop does

I remember folks on here were saying he was an example that mainstream hip-hop is in a great place

Come to find out he don’t even respect hip-hop as an artform

You record artist?

And you haven't experienced rappers who genuinely want to lay the best take?

Right, and they didn't have to become absorbed by the process of country artist to get to the point where they wanted to do that.

The barrier may be lower for rap but that doesn't mean that the ceiling also is lower.

Is the point you’re making meant for what I was talking about?

Not necessarily just more so to the general sentiment that hip hop artist can't possess the same amount of perfectionism that country artist do in isolation.

It's silly to just generalize hip hop as being a genre in which the artist aren't as involved.

I think it's way easier to get into but that's the nature of it as an art form.

Never understood hyping up and giving a platform to rappers that don't even like this s***
