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

    Man I know this is not how you interpreted that. I said that’s what people can prop up now they’re more open minded to non hiphop stuff cause hiphop going lame left a hole

  • May 7, 2023

    Idk if that's neccesarily reason. People just becoming more open to global music as international artists get more buzz out here, and those international artists are hitting markets that wasn't really touched prior to streaming era

    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)

    Perfectly put. Now things are more open to going back to the roots (which is what *non indie - since it needs to be said - hiphop may need to do, No oldhead s***)

    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.

    TikTok isn’t an avenue for attracting new listeners long term, they just know the sound/dance and move on

    Tik tok is perfect for where the industry is at right now. The focus is on the hottest, quickest songs since it can’t be on the artist anymore.

    But that has a tipping point. Can’t rely solely on viral singles. We love the Drake’s, 2pac’s, because we bought into them. Casually speaking, most ppl do not buy albums because of the music is just THAT good. They buy albums because of who the act is and what the act represents.

    Eventually, the reality of not being able to break new acts in the form of selling actual records will rank the business.

    It’s the same in the film industry as well.

    I don’t really listen to new hip hop anymore unless it’s by artists I care about. Hip Hop had its turn as the dominant genre, it’s time for the next genre to have its turn

  • Ents

    It’s not even the lack of artist because there’s great artist coming up right now. There just aren’t many platforms anymore. The only platforms we have are podcast that cater to nonsense and gossip.

    Before 2010 we had BET, MTV, Nahrigth,2dopeboyz, Source and Vibe magazine.

    And all these platforms highlighted all the variety of hip hop artist and music scenes. People only care about street rap and dance songs now.

    Hip Hop will need a renaissance in the next few years if it wants to see past 2030. There not only needs to be new artist but more platforms and curators

    The consumers is the problem. No one wants to listen to a new experimental hip hop artist or something left field. Just give them some street s***

    rap has been pushed out it’s not necessarily the content or the quality of the artists to blame
