One more month of the 50th year. Looking back on hip hop. Definitely seen better times .

Do you think there is still new heights to reach? Artistically and commercially or have we already seen its peak?

commercially yeah artistically no

Why do you keep making these type of threads op lol

Yea cant front my last three been iffy

50th year and 50th thread on this topic this year

hol up let me travel to the future and find out

Commercially yes

And artistically in 2013 maybe, falling off exponentially since then

Idk if it peaked but this year has been lousy af for rap (mainstream wise)

Hip-Hop has been b******ized to the point of no return 💅

The algorithm era has single-handedly degraded every form of art we have into mindless commodification

HipHop isn’t special in being a perverted art form

This thread has

i just listened to asap ferg trap lord

LIFE AFTER NEPH OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Commercially peaked in the 2000s

Artistically peaked in the 2010s

This

Yes but that doesn't mean it won't peak again

buy low sell high

of course it peaked artistically.

No year in the near future will compete with 1992-1997 or 2005 or 2015

Saw a random Twitter user say Evil Kenievel, I'm off 10 school buses and have been thinking about that punchline for days in between listening to H31r and thinking up bars myself.

Industry is trash but that's true of like everything so lol.

Yeah it peaked between 1987-1996

There are paintings and buildings that took longer to complete than hip hop is old. Some artistic forms are thousands of years old. It’s in it’s infancy and will only continue to grow. We’re very lucky to get to watch an art form begin.

How come ya let the other thread pop
