But what we haven’t established is what comes next
Lil skinny ass niggas making pokemon sounds over beats that sound like youre getting evaporated by the event horizon of a supermassive black hole
Classique2023 was an amazing year outside of hip hop but yeah lowkey a dead genre at that point
Great year for R&B
Sampha, Daniel Caesar, Brent Faiyaz, Weeknd’s Idol songs
then other albums like PinkPantheress, Teezo, Yachty
hip hop just dropped the ball that year

The genre died in the mainstream when higher ups decided to give a guy a Super Bowl performance for falsely accusing another rapper of being a pedophile. Normal (non hip hop fans) people don’t wanna be involved in that weirdo s***.
But who cares if it’s big in the mainstream lol. Still great music out there, and still so easy to ignore dogshit country music

y do alla "raps not cool anymore, country is" fact checks sound like they're presupposing that the billboard 100 country music being made is... good?

XavierManeI said it before the current Atlanta-centric era needs to be over already.
No offense to them guys but they been runnin the same playbooks for over a decade. And every new rapper runs to them for features then fall off in 3 business days.

Wonder how much this has to do with late 90s/early 2000s culture coming back to Gen Z / alpha
That’s when rock was admittedly dying out but also still had a lot of popularity
I’ve even seen mid 2000s emo/scene culture coming back, s*** even some rap artists have been emulating that aesthetic

the "monoculture is better than genre niche communities" argument that keeps getting peddled is so boring and nobody ever really argues a good reason for why beyond sales or vague sentiments like
'everyone being force(fed) to like the same thing by the industry instead of an algorithm brings us closer together'
