There's gonna be a huge dissonance between generations unlike anything we've seen before.

Some of us just won't "get it"

I honestly feel like if remix culture took itself a lil more serious we'd have a massive EDM resurgence in hip hop and many artists from the 10's who had fallen off would get major resurgences as the newer artists tried to carve out their own lane (but I'm not even sure where thats going). I feel like we are getting relatively high on the carrying capacity curve of sounds that have been introduced in hip hop without being a different genre entirely.

But yes mainstream hip hop and even the rising stars are becoming very derivative in general. The only "new" things are usually music unrelated and more about their personalities/connections.

I don’t know but bring good drums back to hip hop in the mainstream again. There’s no reason why Way2Sexy should be 808s and hi hats with no kick. Also rage beats should die. Most these trap beats that don’t have kicks need to die out, it’s regressive and lazy. Add a kick, please for the love of music add a kick

try and check out Tarhatazed too, might be their best track

now I genuinely think he’s special but to each their own. In terms of rehashing, he’s been making this kinda music for a couple months now, not necessarily recycling the trend but happening to come up at a similar time.

in terms of better sub categories, there are so many as it is. Lowkey, rap Rn is very fragmented and u recognize that but I personally don’t mind it. for example, if u like west coast stuff, there is drakeo, remble, mozzy, ohgeesy etc. if u want “dusty” s***, there is boldy James, wiki, Mach hommy, tha god fahim etc. if u want michigan rap, there is babytron, Rio da yung og, babyface ray, est gee etc.

Forsure,I’m f***ing with the fact that it seems like this band actually understand what makes good rock music lol

I’d unironically would love to see a yeat song with no beat that s*** sounds hard ngl lmaoo

you hit the nail on the head. i think the lack of punchy drums in the mix is definitely showing, actual acoustic drums would help breathe life into a lot of this other stuff

what makes a good rock song/album?

100%. it’s soulful stuff they’re making, feels like it goes beyond music almost

Good guitarists,good song structure,good/non-generic songwriting and of course,a competent drummer

I’d ask u to put me on because I don’t know as much about rock compared to rap but this is a rap thread

rock will be the new rap.

audius takes over streaming. labels become dinosaurs

This album really just popped in my head when you asked that lol

Gotta revisit this

By 2031 it’ll be late 00s nostalgia (samples/aesthetics etc). Mostly fashion based on the hiphop side tho cause black music usually looks forward so expect the blatant nostalgia to come from white artists. Niggas in hiphop will force skinny jeans tho believe that.

There’ll be a new top guy A/top guy B with one being a street champion and the other being more poppy but still can rap. Lil Baby will have been the biggest rapper of the 2020s.

Everybody in the south will have sounded like Durk, Lil Baby and YoungBoy since around 2025 at this point. The lane for lyrical miracle female rappers in the mainstream will start to open up. The West Coast will have returned to glory in the mainstream at this point.

Throughout the late 2020s there’s an over abundance of synth leads in beats and that bleeds into the early 2030s

And rap gets even younger

What’s with this forum and d***sucking Carti? U gotta be trolling

I’d assume people emulating Drake, Weeknd early 2010s stuff with moody R&B production will come around out of nostalgia

name?

Kanye will release MBDTF2

Wavves-King Of The Beach,this was an album I use to listen to all the time when I was going through a punk rock phase. It’s a cool lil album last time I remember

more dnb influence

pinkpatheresses is spearheading that rn too
