Nothing funny about that take

Not in itself but the “born in the wrong generation” kids getting salty was

Yeah man

Honestly there's nothing wrong with that type of mentality and I don't understand why it's seen as a negative thing.

I'd rather have kids be into all kinds of culture from different time periods rather than not give a s*** about anything over 5 years old. It's important to have historical context.

that’s on you he’ll never stop being ass

He was never a serious artist

Every era had s*** music though. Its easy to say old music is better in totality when the best of the best is what gets preserved. Complaining about being music being bad in 2010 was always a numskull take

I agree but also concur. LSH was great and a step in the right direction but got retroactively worse when we realized dude was a validation-seeking chatty patty with no actual vision

Pop, X and Juice’s deaths had a big impact on rap’s current state rn

But I would also say that Lil Baby, Dababy and Roddy Ricch failing to take their music to the next level is part as of that

And I disagree that female rappers are dominating, I don’t think theirs even a dominate new gen rapper yet that has the grip on the general public like the Big 3 have

this is the best year for a rap in a while idc about the discourse

stream saaheem

To me I feel like if we accept that Drake, Kendrick and Cole are at the very top and right beneath them are the Meeks, Big Sean and Wale's of the world...

And in this a***ogy I'm using Drake as a a***og for 50, Nelly or Ja Rule. Then what we're experiencing here is whoever was the "Meek Mill" of 50's era. You know what I mean?

Like imagine if Drake died when "Forever" came out?

This generation lost X and Pop, and now we're left with Lil Baby and Roddy.

As for my female rap angle, whether or not they actually are dominating doesn't change the consensus among alot of folks who considers that to be the case. And what I described are contributing factors as to why...word salad word salad word salad.

just posting to have in my threads tbh

Pour one up for you big dog

this talk literally existed in the 2010s too with soundcloud, even the 2000s with ringtone rap.

its not new - and its still false.

a few viral tweets doesnt mean it right, just as the 2010s.

lil baby, gunna, lil durk and polo g are literally the most popular niggas this decade overall and theyre still Rapping - HM to playboi carti.

meanwhile Drake, Kendrick and Cole are still the highest overall that are still "Rapping-Rapping" - just like 2010s when some tried to to make those similar statements as well.

it just depends what corner of the net you at, but thats not real life even in numbers - relax. @op

the reality is, people like a mix of both. "real" rap along with a bit of ignorance and fun. thats why the top rappers in selling still to this day literally embody both aspects. i would argue even future and travis employs both these aspects as well, just not as straight forward. and why theyre in "2nd stings" of most popular after the "big 3". while the big 3 leans more towards "real" in their overlap, and future + travis lean more towards "ignorant" in their overlap, but tis still a mix.

the masses dont like rappity-rap slam poetry straight ion the nose ish just like the majority doesnt like kill every nigga im afull on degenerated what im saying makes no sense ish - most people like a mix of both that has a bit of abstraction. and thats what real life and real people are too for the most part, a mix of both.

and then niches are gonna niche, but its still a niche at the end of the day.

you gotta let that "discourse" go and realize this. or else youre going to drive yourself crazy. and this extends to most things in life, not just music. most things including the truth are simply in the middle and want/showcase "both".
