That's why it's so awful the soul of the style/genre is gone and its all tryna lean into punk and "rockstar" s***

This isn't to say black people didn't invent and can't do rock but our version of it which was soulful isn't the version modern hip Hop takes notes from

This thread will be productive

I stan Griselda and not a single one of em is mainstream

It can be if you try

We sorta past that era now

Nothing wrong being punk just it’s now been commercialised for hip hop also

Op needs to clear up what “black” means

@KIN @YoungNastyShawty @internetcowboy want y'all thoughts especially

Been no soul for years now smh

been known

Guess who listens and makes rap 'mainstream' nowadays tho

If anything, aren’t we rightfully reclaiming the culture that was ours?

Greatest Rap Album OAT

you know exactly what he means, whitey

But honestly this is what happens to all genres of music

They all get gentrified by the white man and dumb it down for the masses

The only times white man really expanded on a genre is British Invasion of the 60s and punk scene and both of these times they were heavily influenced by black rock n roll

We not even one page in

blame THESE gross people for being the biggest consumers of it

Ehh the idea that it’s not black because it’s being inspired by genres black peoples created ain’t hitting maybe because of the accessibility of the genre and the technology of the time. It’s the biggest genre on earth and is fairly easy to make...

I get where ops coming from but at the same time what about niggas like Lil Baby, Yb, Rod Wave, pop, polo g, etc
