We need more rappers taking risks and being ambitious.
Thug clones harmonizing over Pi’erre type beats isn’t it and hasn’t been for some time

You know what’s crazy?

When punk rock was first created it was for the rejects of society. Grimes ass music about grimes ass (negative) s***

Now the most popular punk acts are making songs with positive, introspective, satirical lyrics, poking fun at modern day negativity of the music scene. Example:

So what does it tell you if punk music, a brand founded in negativity and being the alternative culture, is now about positivity and self empowerment, what does that say bout the mainstream music scene?

I wanted to go against op but I had to stop and think, am I really mad because he’s telling the truth and I’m in denial? This is honestly one of the best threads in a minute. It made me sit down and think. A lot of people that never seen a black person in person will look at hip hop and think that of the black community. I mean you kinda see that on here. People have this image of what black people should act like or what they should f*** with.

Facts. I’m in the entertainment industry myself as a career and it’s like some kind of sick joke how black men (and women) are portrayed/used in basically all media representations in the modern day.

If you look at some sad art, it affects your subconscious, makes you feel sad.

Music is art right?

So if you got depressed scummy niggas rapping about scummy depressed s***, how do you think that will impact the listener?

Wasn’t her place to give an unprompted critique of a culture she’s not apart of but borrows from, and does the same s*** (lie in her music) but differentiates pretentiously to put herself above what she disdains.

rap before kanye was all about being a gangster, he tore that down and opened the door for tyler the creator, who opened the door for other artists. Rap is in the most versatile and best place it has ever been. Yall niggas gotta stfu with that rap is dying bs
