i cried about this on here before but

it makes me so sick i was stanning punk rap, punk rock whatever whole nine yards when i was in HS, i’d get called white, off black whatever else blah blah

this nigga Carti pops out on the goth/punk s*** and now everyone is goth

now when i dress in an all black moody get up i get called opium

like niggas don’t even got their own style/taste no more like you said

everyone is biting off of everybody and if you say something about it “you’re putting people in a box”

yeah at this point I feel it's too late, the culture has been coopted by corporations for too long and most artists have already sold out and are a slave to trends.

once people who didnt really hold the history of the culture to be sacred became the majority of fans these days everything just goes to the highest bidder at this point, including the direction of the art/music.

it seems like degeneracy is winning over all these days as that's what garners the most attention / clicks. And it's not like the higher ups at these labels care about making black people look ignorant or stupid.

It's all f***ed up in my opinion. I feel like now that trends are so easy to identify and co opt on social media theres no real room for anything organic to grow without corporations ruining it

im just yapping but yeah thats how i feel lol

This ain’t even that bad (just strong mid but not completely trash) it’s just obviously not rooted in the intention of innovation or switching his sound up so niggas gonna kill it lol

I feel for rappers bc they kinda gotta build a sound because you see what happens when you don’t do that with someone like Uzi. Yeat Lucki Carti etc benefit from staying in their own lane beat selection wise but niggas mad at Baby lol

At the same time he needs Quay Global

Lil Baby a dope boy rapper and Dre an artsy lyricist who reinvented himself infinitely more times in the 1996-2004 timespan than Baby has in 2016-2024

You thinking they have any type of connection as artists because they were simply geographically born in the same city decades apart is ironically more chronically online new black dumb s*** than anything I’m saying lol

Thug was told to wear dresses by Lyor Cohen in order to go viral. That’s not who he really was.

Baby is painting his nails because that’s part of the current ethos in the culture. It’s some fly s*** like having the slits in your eyebrows.

He’s not doing it because he’s inspired by Andre 3k because he’s from Atlanta

Yeat and Carti definitely switch up they sound whachu talking bout?

i don’t think Thug wore a dress cause of 3k obviously but did he really do it because of Lyor? i thought he was genuinely into that gender bending s***

Like niggas was saying all types of s*** bout 3k once he started wearing headwraps in ‘96. Ppl in the city really thought he had started doing d**** (which is ironic cause bro was his highest during they 1st album)

I dont think a specific work of art determines whether you can express yourself in non-conventional ways. Like YB is a modern example of someone that gets leeway to do that stuff cause similar to 3k, you can tell YB just does whatever he feels like.

”I dont think a specific work of art determines whether you can express yourself in non-conventional ways.”

touchè, but tbh im kinda tired of people having these sick aesthetics and visuals just to make uninspired and redundant music, there shouldn’t be some sort of gate for appearing artsy and making a certain type of music but i do find it a bit jarring when niggas like Ken Carson have a whole grimy Live.Leak aesthetic going on and then it’s just SoundCloud rap with some sawtoothed synths

Idk 100% but based on what he said in his big boy interview and what he said about D Wades kid I don’t believe he was ever really on board with that stuff. Either that or he grew out of it.
