Despite many projects coming out from major artists, the musical landscape seems lacklustre this year. I find myself listening to less Hip Hop this year and dabbling more into international sounds. Anyone feel Hip Hop has been slowing down?

Music ended when Kanye burned the house down

I agree but I think we probably just getting tired of that s***

Younger generations love this s***

I don’t think they as active and as engaged with the culture as we were at that age in the blog era tho (speaking for my fellow millennials ofc)

hip-hop? for me kinda but tobi lou's non-perishable out now

Maybe not as a whole, but the niche communities are going strong on their discords.
RIP blog chats

2022 has definitely been the year of non-USA artists and Its well deserved

Bad Bunny is from a US territory and signed to Universal

nah 2022 has been one of the best in a long time imo

There has yet to be that jaw dropping, A+ level album, but other than that things have been fine

Yeah I was gonna say non 48 states but w/e

Not at all, 2022 has been great for music

I think we’re still recovering from covid. Music is a social thing

Nah I think we just spoiled

for hip-hop? perp left it out of the title but he's talking rap

As I grow older I don't listen to as much hip hop because the genre itself gets boring when they talking about the same thing

The artists that are not talking about the same thing take 3-4 years to drop a solid project so naturally I will expand to listen something else

Hip hop always in rotation but I don't have the same focus anymore

Paradoxically it's the highest it's ever been and it'll probably even get higher

Easily the best genre ever

for hip-hop, it's been ok. i've been satisfied with what we've got so far, especially with Mr. Morale

sidhu’s 2022 releases have all been amazing so, no

It’s time for you to experiment with your sexuality

nope.

Gotta say I been enjoying the music 2022 has offered so far

tbh not all, i’ve been enjoying a lot of rap releases from this year

I was in kind of a slump or thought s*** was stale for awhile last year tbh
