No one wants to hear a mf born in 2005 rap that’s one of the problems while country and rock have no problem supporting older people

😭😭😭

cycles.

I've had this theory based on an observation...

Hip hop's decline came almost directly after Chance's album failed and he become irrelevant. He was literally primed to be the next big one up.

Actually okay if the country music being made is not the trash that it has been for a while

Have you listened to good country though?

Finally (c)rap music is dying

i like all of them but it’s pretty crazy how if you don’t mindlessly d***ride these new gen dudes you’re an oldhead or a “pop flavored hip hop Twitter stan” (lol) like what are we even doing here

I never said this lol

not ready to accept, sorry

Considering how bad mainstream rap is...

Yeah

Only weirdos are saying this lol it's clear as f*** that rap is in a very bad place at the moment especially in the mainstream and it's ok to admit it

first sentence is just straight facts. you only have to go back one or two decades and see how good the hit songs of that era were. rappers knew how to craft a hit that didn't need to rely on virality

nah bro if you talk about the mainstream but also say sales don’t matter when we evaluate quality you’re inconsistent or something like that

Nobody trying to listen to the same Lil Baby song over and over lmao

Need more rock songs that mention being better than you and f***ing your girl

You’re in a billboard thread using that as justification for it falling off. Seems kind of hypocritical to do that and then turn around and say it doesn’t matter for Drake or whatever

this is a good thing tbh

we need a new wave of rappers to come through and change things up

You can still be a trap rapper and make good mainstream music though. We literally went through an era of it.

been revisiting 00s hip hop and r&b hits. bro... that generation RULED the charts with a wide variety of sounds. we had some boom bap hits, up tempo r&b hits, straight 808 club heavy hits, s*** even crossover jams. new generation should take notes, i think gen z is starving for this sort of era because of their fascination with y2k aesthetic. we too busy just sampling the hits of that time tho... that ain't how you really revive the era tho. it's more than replicating the sound, you have to embody the aura and essence.

The social media crowd is hyping up everything about female rappers except their actual music

It's all style over substance now.

Lil Baby, Youngboy NBA, Moneybagg Yo, etc just all appeal to ppl from their city as the top dogs so its really just the idolization of them.

They can put out the same song 35 times consecutively but ppl from their city/hood always gonna mindlessly eat it up because of what they represent moreso.

But also at the end of the day... they mostly appeal to only their city/geographic area.

Ppl in Chicago not going crazy over Youngboy NBA. Ppl in New York not going crazy over Moneybagg Yo.

Rap is segmented on such a city/geo basis now cause mid-tier rappers who just get supported by their city off name basis.

Kanye, Drake, Wayne, etc all knew how to make club hits and foremost make music that actually had craft and wide appeal. This why they weren't only huge in their city and were superstars.

The issue with Trap is how little deviation or skill is required for it, so for every good song/project there's 500 that are all indistinguishable and forgettable garbage.

It made monotone voices, zero unique personality, lowest budget beats ever, and lack of flow more acceptable and standard.
