All things that are born die

Change is real and something we must live with every day

LIVE VLONE DIE VLONE

It died when ye fell of tbh

It lasted longer than it shouldve. The game been stale for a min now

We on that latin wave now

Corridos are what the streets playing

Its cause the new gen cant deliver the new superstars or they died

Glad your articulated it 🫡

But I'd even go a step further and say that the large group of Latin Americans (generalization) stopped being a large consumer of rap because it was getting stale, and went back to its roots which was having a Renaissance on the behalf of hip hop culture (which you covered)

we on that bcnr wave now

mainstream hip hop SUCKS!!!

Alright, so, um, I'm zoingy-boingy, I'm high. But uh, I've been meaning to go on this rant, m'kay, it's not an angry rant like my Batman rant, okay? As you can see from the picture, I'm chillin', chillin' like a villain, but I'm not the Joker, okay? Let's tie that back to Batman. Anyhow, this is just, I don't know, it's a deep dive, right? But not to get too caught up on the setup. Cause every great story needs one, right? Hahaha. But anyway. So hip-hop is in a decline, okay? I know nobody wants to say it and if you say it, you're out-of-touch, you're any of that... It's on a f***ing decline, okay? It's to the point black people are saying it. You'd have been seen as a c**n or a lame motherfucker if you said that, but now, black people are saying it. Young black people are even saying it, okay? It's bad. And yes, hip-hop has had a quote-unquote "decline"... The genre has had a decline, a big decline that was noticeable in the Shiny Suit Era, right? But hip-hop didn't become lame, right? There was still cool s*** coming out in the shiny suit era - I was even a part of the Shiny Suit Era. Hip-hop is lame right now, and that's worse, y'know? And we were talking about it in the chat last night, where, that... Hip-hop was for a period now, the default music genre around the world for what's cool. And now that hip-hop has become lame, it's given way to other genres to blow up, y'know, and people to give a chance. Um, with country and pop and y'know, some of those rock elements in music, slowly creepin up right now, but internationally as well. That's why you even have a lot of young people - period - listening more to f***in' Burna Boy than somebody like Lil Durk, or... not even Lil Durk, but like, somebody like that, for example. Because those other genres are providing that cool factor. While hip-hop is - for the most part - it's lame right now. And that can't be denied. It's lame, it's negative, it's emotionless, it's humanless. That's what it is overall right now. That is the representation of it. And so, for like Mexico specifically, right? We were talking about this in the chat, it was brought up, how, y'know, Peso Puma and all these guys, they're providing that cool American factor, y'know - with the videos, with the fashion, with the visuals. And they're looking like the cool rappers. While also now, they're making cool music for their own culture. So they're like, "Okay, f*** hip-hop, we're getting the cool stuff that we got from hip-hop, and we're getting our culture authentically, let's go to that". And the whole world. Like we were talking about in the chat. How, y'know, people within Mexican culture that wouldn't even- that would look down on the Mexican regional music, cause they were Mexican-Americans. Now they're even listening to the f***ing Mexican authentic music. Y'know, because that's become the cool thing that's a lot of... Across all these genres, they're all becoming more cool, in the wake of hip-hop becoming lame. And that's a problem. Okay? And we need to - there's no more not acknowledging it. You're not an oldhead. You're not a lame. You're not out-of-touch. It's clear as day. Okay? And I said I wasn't gonna get mad with this one. But, I'm feeling like imma get turnt up. So before that happens, imma slow down, and just leave y'all with that. Happy Friday, or Saturday. For a lot of y'all 'round here, Sunday. SUNDAY FUNDAY!!! Sunday Funday vibes. Alright, we out.

Hip hop is dying because Mexicans listen to Mexican music and burna boy is popular

the new generation need to step it up tbh

Yes bro rarely get on here these days… mainly for the reason in the OP tbh

@op pretty enough to get away with wired headphones in 2023

I don’t think Hip-Hop is dying as much as I think the commercialization of the entertainment business as a whole is dying a slow death

If you can’t create superstars, I.e. creating artists, actor, and actresses, who people want to put their money behind, then obviously it’s going to die at some point.

Social media has killed it. I think the entire industry completely underrated how important romanticism and mystique is to the success of the industry. Talent doesn’t matter as much as ppl think as it pertains to the success of the business. Without the ability to create new stars the industry will kill itself.
