The spread of information in this era of social media being so rapid and instant - paired with the shortening of attention spans - is making mainstream demand from the industry and the average listener more of ”this needs to be simple and safe” than it ever was
That means even MORE focus on nursery rhymes disguised as “rap” songs, even MORE focus on looking as “colorful” as possible...and guess what? Neither of those things are incredibly black
Expect the mainstream “embrace” of blackness in the last 7 years to be phased out like an empty soda can in a recycle bin
yes!
you look at the way rap songs right now especially on places like tiktok are simplifying s*** down to its absolute core
this song is big on tiktok
it is literally a nursery rhyme
tiktok isn't helping this either it condenses marketing of music down to 15 seconds so that 15 seconds has to be incredibly catchy to succeed and by nature rap is not catchy enough to do that
it has to be nursery rhyme level catchy
Man big whoop, y’all really surprised?
It’s always hilarious when users like Benihana try and say the trajectory is on an upward spiral too with a straight face
Yup and people go "oh youre a boomer".
nah if anything we have just ahead of the time.
Me @02Shaq and @999Wrld have been saying this s*** for like a year now and everyone just gets pissed because they don't want to accept that the commercialization of rap has ruined the roots of it..
I could told you that years ago it’s known fact this how all genres die
They get overexposed in mainstream where labels basically scramble to find artists which can compete with each other.
Rock mostly likely have came back in someway
yes!

LMAOOO screaming ppl really listen to this???
It's kind of hard to say that though, I think there is more diversity, but if a genre of music is just that damn good, then everyone is gonna like it regardless, thus resulting in more influence and more people making that same genre of music.

I have seen @02Shaq say some s*** about that a few months ago. At least I think it was him
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
metal 😈
which is why i said

You got the right idea
We can use examples of many popular us genres such as grunge scene to see how labels basically run idea to straight to ground because they try copy success of original 4 grunge acts
LMAOOO screaming ppl really listen to this???
yea
it has 800k videos made to the sound
its #2 on Spotify Viral 50
yes!

All I see is facts.
