You missed the point

oldheads to lazy to look deeper then the surface. Anyone can be an oldhead and u sound like one

Sheeeeesh

Alright now that we somewhat found the problem how do we go about finding a solution? Because we can talk about the problem all day but it’s the solution that matters or at least working towards it

The modern state of hip hop is it’s in a great place

Play from 3:40

This s*** still goes on today. Just replace niggas being in the record store with niggas talking about what they’re streaming

Stop supporting all these meme trap cap draco rappers we got all the buying power we just using it wrong

Bro I don’t think it’s thats easy tho all this negative s*** be engraved for years it’s obviously going take more than to stop listening Especially to get a whole culture to stop listening

Exactly. Some of the replies itt prove that.

Eliminate our history, then assimilate our identity

It’s gonna take a bunch of the top rappers coming together and just having a “IT NEEDS TO STOP” moment

Well the rappers that glamorize d*** abuse generally don’t have a long expiration date for their music. Rappers like Kendrick and Kanye that don’t follow whatever cycle of rap will last a lot longer.

this isn’t true at all lol.. Big L was rapping about beating kids with metal pipes lmao

And Big L died
Edit: or was that pun?

Bro you 0/2 today on s*** takes

idk but regardless everything in the 90s and 00s wasn’t always story telling.. this generation grew up on the older generation, bro. so they adapted these ways from somewhere, right?Wayne’s got gun lines and he’s been rapping since a kid lol

I mean anyone who doesn’t know this s*** is dumb though. It’s funny though because Billie said that exact same s*** yet it put this whole site in Birks for like a day bro

Okay you redeemed yourself

That’s real s***. I also think as a youth it’s our time to take a stand as well too because it’s us who are making the music it’s us who controls this s*** other than these grimy ass execs you know what I’m saying so while we wait for the top rappers to take a stand it’s really our time to use our platform to get our culture back we gotta be in the streets with this s***, schools, studio etc.

The greatest time ever. No gatekeeping no elitism

just music.

All imma say is niggas been calling for hip hops demise since the 90s. As long as black people are at the forefront of the genre and are still pushing the sound, s*** ain’t going anywhere. Black excellence

Rappers have been capping since NWA came out in the late 80s, Hip-Hop's only downfall would be oversaturation or a new genre that the industry will try to push.

Yall just grew up to be miserable boring people. Music is the greatest it’s ever been.

True but back then ATCQ was more popping than Big L. And Common was more poppin than Lil D*** Cheese, ya feel me
