KayTrayTraditional rap is dead unfortunately. You need melodies and trendy flows to make it. JID just dropped a 9/10 rap album and nobody cares. Cole and Kendrick are the last of them in the mainstream.
JID definitely does the melodies and trendy flows though so not the best example of "traditional rap".

Also that JID album sounded like a 2K soundtrack

9/10 is crazy
Sep 5, 2022KayTrayMe too bro but a rapper like JID would be a superstar 10 years ago. That should tell you the climate Hip Hop is in rn.
No he wouldn’t lmao, he’s great technically and all but this nigga doesn’t have a catchy flow or quotables or hook making ability at all - things that have been and will always be requirements for a rap superstar

NEW EQUITYYea man I agree with you 100%
Even though JID is a fairly new artist, he’s in his early 30’s. He comes from a generation that still was grounded in the real world and all its complexities. I’m afraid unless we get a movement of new rappers in their 30’s, that sort of hip hop is deadthat’s kinda what people like griselda and larry june doing wven if they aren’t “new” they’re current gen and not legacy acts

WESLEY PRESELYCrazy how they still the top 2 and 3.
Drake, Kendrick and Cole have had a chokehold on rap music for years now.we haven’t seen people being this hot for this long tbh. people that were big in the 80’s, 90’s, and early 00’s most of the time had a couple year run while the people that were mainstream relevant 10 years ago are still decently relevant
Sep 5, 2022Idk what ops talking about but it does feel like rap has hit a wall

Rappers have been doing this forever, what’s the problem? lol
