s***s also racist as hell too. got me thinking zoomers are gonna be more republican in the future
nah its just that if you engage in political content at all there youre gonna get stuff from both sides of the spectrum on your fyp
as a whole tiktok is pretty progressive
Rap is more pop than ever so yeah gentrification is apart of that. It's up to the OGs like Hov to be gate keepers tbh
lmao like hov gon actually try and save hip-hop
Not black just curious on y'all thoughts on the slum movement relative to the topic
Really boring, they seem to mostly appeal to losers and non african american blacks
I don’t even think it’s a white/black issue
I mean if is but it’s more just uneducated whites that just start listening in 2015 when Antidote came out, etc.
They just think hip hop is a fun trend and a zoo, and don’t take the genre seriously
Which is why every celebrity and they’re mom tries to “rap” to get famous.
Rap is so gentrified it doesn’t even matter anymore. It’s cluttered with non talented plants and nepotism. These guys have no passion for the art no more, it’s about placement with right melody and beat

Antidote really did ruin rap music
F***ed up Travis’ entire trajectory
Great song tho
well first off the idea that culture shouldn't be flipped is incredibly stupid
what is good about American culture? cause from what I see its a political system that is so far beyond repair, racial tensions that are still peaking, completely unchecked capitalism and etc
what the issue with a generation that is trying to flip that s*** on its head
people are getting famous for dancing because that's what people want to see. the tiktok algorithm is made to promote content that is engaging to the largest audience possible. you act like its just kids driving this. TikTok has almost 1 billion users. Thats not a generation it goes well beyond that
ok. we see this entirely wrong and truly I did not mean to bring this whole discussion into this thread about music, so I do apologize.
I'm NOT talking about these tense things like social issues, I'm talking about POP CULTURE and how it's been ruined. I'm not old at all man, I'm literally only 26 years old.. I'm even on the cusp of the two generations so I completely understand the positivity of that.
in terms of the tik tok argument, man I could not disagree more. TEENAGERS are the biggest users of tik tok. They CREATE the content and consume it. Do you really think adults are going to f***ing dance in front of a camera acting like clowns to some s*** trap music? if they have any sort of dignity, HELL NO. I'm not blaming all of Gen Z for this stupid s***, I'm blaming the teenagers and trend followers who happen to be driving all this bullshit which happens to be affecting music.
If you download tik tok the first thing you see is underage people dancing to trash rap and twerking and stuff. do you not see an issue? that's creepy as f***ing hell man. it's fueled and caters to pedos immediately.
LNX hasn’t even had a “long and successful career” so idk who ur talking about
You just out of touch clearly
You just out of touch clearly
He just blew up last year
Y’all said the same thing bout 69
assuming he means white people. is it?
Newsweek in 1991 said gangsta rap had an 80% white audience
Sounddata in 1994 said rap records were owned by 75% white people
even on the low end in 2004 it was estimated that 60% of raps audience were white
its easy to say its because its catering to a white audience but if raps always had a majority white audience why is this a newer phenomenon
Niggas beating they girlfriends not even getting cancelled (no I don’t mean Chris Brown)
Exactly, they only use it so they can rile people to start making people think like the west is dead, Jews run the media etc etc
Couple users on here are notorious for only arguing identity politics
You need to get off that app then
Our generation is become more and more progressive as time goes on
I honestly can’t wait for all the 65+ boomers to die out
tbh i maybe looking at it from a different view cause i never had the app downloaded, but from looking at some of the tiktoks that go viral most of them say some foul ass s***
But anyways I’m logging off for now or Id rant more lmao
Bout to go watch college football, y’all stay safe and have a good sat night

There’s always been that since the beginning. Some of y’all favorite rappers have never been “about the art”
