there's absolutely nothing new under the sun when it comes to anything ever made in 2023 in any medium ...annnyyyythiiiing, production included, words, sentences, everything, doesn't mean it has to be pointless, creativity is not about making something brand new (doesn't exist) it's about combining old things in new ways, and rap can continue to do that

we haven't heard a rapper talking about being a gay coke head then converting to Islam

my mixtape coming soon

but also fr this

Even using something as basic as the new discovery station on AM has allowed me to pick up a few songs here and there that I enjoy. Also I guess people have heard every song ever made up to 2023 like you can’t discover new music from eras they’re enamored with

Y’all make the same threads every year

This conversation is getting tiresome but yeah, Hip Hop has never been this much of a product before, its never been this commercial. Its never had this many artist ok with selling out or not caring about the culture beyond a dollar. The game has sold itself out to the point of no return I think.

You guys are the same people that s*** on me for years for making threads about newer artists without giving anything a chance

Most of you don’t actually care about hiphop u just care about the artists you grew up with

The artists you recommend are some of them worst offenders of this bullshit

Yea an when u do something interesting they just say it's ass

Not every artist has to make groundbreaking music bruh. There’s nothing wrong with fun and catchy pop-adjacent rap

Just ignore those artists and then focus on the ones you do enjoy that have meaning behind them.

Autumn and Summrs have much more meaning and raw emotion in some of their songs than Drake has in a decade but they still won’t get credit for it

But if we say this, it’s “how dare you criticize an artist’s personal life”

Well when the artist’s music is self-described as being pretty intertwined with their real daily life it’s pretty hard to criticize one without indirectly criticizing the other

You just proved my point. Thanks for confirming once again that you just want to complain

You won’t even give credit where it’s due

this type of thread has been made like 4-5 days in a row I feel like

Yes so much meaning he’s giving Billy Woods a run for his money

Most of yall have no idea what ur talking about

It's so many artists. So many f***ing dope artists

If you say these aren’t meaningful songs ur lying lol. You can say you don’t like Autumn or Summrs but stop being disingenuous bruh

Well that's the thing, just because something is different doesn't automatically make it good. Which is another thing people need to start understanding.

Niggas b d***riders man They only b f***ing with like the same 3 niggas an anything else is "ass"

Like these kids with this opium s***

Definitely agree there. Everyone in Opium not named Playboi Carti are legitimately terrible. Even then Carti definitely got some duds.

this is why I wish I was more into billy woods production wise, because that's an artist that is absolutely retaining meaning within the genre by his lyrics I just can't stand the beats

man the production on these songs be so f***ing hard but the rappers are so dull and uninspiring

i admit i might be an old head though

Ur a prime example of the problem with hiphop listeners

Close minded as f*** and ignorant 💀
