What will?

country
even drizzy had to bend the knee and move to TX

whatever chimp1 makes

shaboozey, luke combs, zach bryan, morgan wallen, post malone

Hip hop will be fine. It’s just at a low point.

don't believe the cap
when you go outside to have a good time what genre of music do you hear?

country will not be sustainable esp under a dem presidency, and the alt right doesnt really align with those working class aesthetics

also as much as hip hop has been a joke, its aesthetics are still somewhat authentic where as modern country is as fake as it gets.

theres always at least some mainstream rappers whose story is "authentic" where as country its far and few inbetween

i think country is just gonna open the door for a larger influx of guitar based and more traditionallly electronic music

atlantic is dropping 50 artists most will be hip hop, now look at who theyve been signing cor past 2 years, their latest release is a shoegaze record from julie, the hellp is dropping soon, its all ab late 90s to early 00's revivalism

dirty hit might push that been stellar band as strokes 2.0, if they can catch as much steam as beabadoobe (fun fact a wayan girl is in that band, shoutout nepo)

al its gonna take is one major label rock act to have a steve lacy moment and the momentum will follow, steve wasn't able to do it bc he obviously didnt want that level of success + world not ready for hip hop to die just yet

ethnic / urban music will be dominated by afrobeats and reggaeton but popular music will mostly be racially ambigious + wasian indie artists

quote me when im right

Country really is as American as possible, makes sense why they pushing it

Better like that anyways, half yall suburbans gonna stop supporting that mysterious rap and real rap will get a chance to show out

when hip hop completely dips from mainstream it will have a renaissance moment for sure

i dont even think the next big rock act to break thru has even released / been signed yet

if labels were smart they'd acc develop artists and work on developing some lightskin model into real acts

but ppl r hungry, willing, and able enough to get it done themselves so i get the lack of financial incentive in doing this

Not sure but it would be great if rap stopped being the dominant genre. The influx of new hip-hop ''fans'' changed it for the worse

this would have happened 4 years ago if it wasnt for lil peep, x, juice wrld dying in like the same year then covid

their sound was obviously pushing the hip hop crowd into a more guitar based sound (lucid dreams, jocelyn flores, lil peep whole disco)

u ask me, their death changed the whole trajectory and labels started p****footing around the transition but it's inevitable the rhythm and triplet flows that dominated rap has dried up, and with more and more deaths of young talent theres less and less security in investing in a rapper sadly

we lost keed, von, thug in jail, just lost quan. no one want to invest in rappers rn, its done

Teezo Touchdown will be the biggest artist in 2027

He will be so big he is going to compete with The Weeknd

Your mind can't comprehend this right now but you'll get it in few years

Bookmark this and quote me when I'm right

What’s crazy is that Shabooezy song that’s been topping the charts is really just a country cover of a rap song…

grindcore

Sabrina, Chappell, Dua, Charli…

Country for now but I don’t see it being the dominant genre for long as it mostly panders to white audiences

wasn't it planned to be afrobeats or something

“Have a good time” = where the women are at. Women are going to clubs that play that sort of music rn. That or like disco or afrobeats

the next chappell roan will be a deathgrind duo

Also, "Have A Good Time"= places where lots of people are and lots of money is being exchanged. Whether or not those places are playing lots of Hip Hop is the question?

Our only savior.

If they are playing lots of hip-hop I think they’re more likely to play 90s/00s/10s hip-hop than anything that’s been released in the last five years honestly
