If you look at some sad art, it affects your subconscious, makes you feel sad.
Music is art right?

Tyler the Creator has been rapping AND producing at an all time great level for a DECADE, while also running a very successful (arguably the most successful for a rapper ever) fashion company, for a DECADE.
And he just got his first number one album. You not helping your argument

It’s really sad. It’s a critical cycle of self doubt.

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 - OPMar 8, 2020SHAQUILLE
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 timeI’ll never forget the day when Kendrick dropped I Love Myself and the collective black community was like “yo this s*** GARBAGE”
It’s like niggas WANT to be in a state of perpetual negativity and I really don’t understand it
Mar 8, 2020ICEMANEI think the easiest way to point out how rap has an overall negativity problem is how rap bars used to be:
“WE getting money”
Then around the early 2000s it became
“I’M rich”Now since about 2015, it’s
“YOURE broke”Like even in the basic diction rappers now use you can see a negative culture shift

Op making some great points, this is one of the better threads in a while on here.
Whole thing needs a reset - Mar 8, 2020ICEMANE
Thread vibe
!https://youtu.be/HxnFw4Kndas“Hip hop will die I promise that, if we keep the lies in our raps”
I was listening to EA intro and all I could think was “Why is this 5’2 guy rapping about guns he’s never shot and people he’s never killed?”
Why is the majority of popular rap these days center on lyrical content about s*** that is inherently detrimental to the black community
Inb4 “they just telling they story”
1. Most of them are capping
2. In the 90s and early 2000s even if dudes did rap about shady s***, it would be from the perspective of trying to teach the newer generation a lessonCan we have serious mature discussion about the degradation of the BLACK artform that is hip hop?
Idk that whole "they were teaching us a lesson" excuse about Gangster Rap def went out the window from the point of the East Coast West Coast beef.
It seems like from then on, Rap began glamorizing the violent and materialistic aspect of the genre a lot more.
But truth be told, this is why everything is the way it is now imo:

what is your argument bruh? Tyler is very successful for an artist, dont get your point?
Mar 8, 2020ICEMANEWhy rap music (a tool that black people once used to express stories about life love pain and heartbreak) has been turned into a modern minstrel show that basically amounts to “Who can buy the biggest chain”
if you feel that way, that’s totally understandable
