I mean, he didn't help this narrative when he said that "Bad and Boujiee was one of the best songs ever" or something along those lines.

Rap was in a bad place 2008-2009 but it bounced back nicely in 2010-2012

It can happen again

the truth is most of rap is teenager music and a lot of the themes are ignorant, negative and shallow

beats got progressively worse the past years, no effort at all

This s*** Dead and yall know it but are in denial

Mofos trashed the genre once Yeat was hyped up

Idk which ones Donald talking bout, but I was thinking moreso the female perspective on certain topics like what noname did on beauty supply (beauty standards) or what rapsody did on best I can (baby daddy issues).

Since rap been male dominant for decades, some of the common tropes for males are probably stale to some listeners.

If this is remotely true it’s cuz you goofies championed the loser mentality of “quality over quantity” when yall faves ain’t doing either

Waiting 5 years to drop s***

How is it a loser mentality to think "Quality over Quantity"?

Thats interesting I didnt think of that.

When ppl say the “women are killing it rn” to me they’re usually talking about Ice Spice, Sexxy Red, Cardi even Latto. They rarely mention noname or rapsody.

I was confused bc the popular ones pretty much have the same music content.

Yeah that's the thing tho, idk who's he referring but pretty much all the mainstream female rappers are using the same exact "narrative", which is just a flip on a common male narrative lol

Hip hop really did start to decline when he got locked up

"too easy of an access point to the art form"
Spot on

all genres will be dying soon (probably 2-3 years) thanks to AI but nobody's ready for that convo

That’s what I’m saying

theyve already bought a lot of heavy hitter catalogues

lol that’s exactly what he said

rap is like a old man’s cock rn it need something to erect it

Who cares about the narrative. Mfs ain’t creative like that no more. It’s all a cash grab same with the girls not any good female rappers at least the popping ones. Yeah some of them released some good songs but nah. Pop Smoke had it down with songs like welcome to the party. That beat is so ill man shouts out to 808 Melo and Pop had that presence. I don’t know.

Young Thug contributed to hiphop’s decline

There are literally endless metaphors you could've used

He's right

come on man

you are waking up for a Drake album at 6am but rap is dead?

man i’m all for women rappers but what interesting new narrative are we hearing from any rapper let alone the women
