question, why does what’s happening in the underground hint at where hiphop is heading when the underground so niched out now it’s hard to tell even what’s the big sound? lol

first song on this niggas new project says King of Rock

sigh man lmao

nigga put a 1:15 worth of hook on a 2 minute song called King of Rock and he one of the new leaders lmfaoooo

we are COOKED!

Doechii got it on lock for sure

We just pulling names out of a hat with the other two

Hip hop doesn't need new leaders. It just needs more independent labels or straight up self-distributed artists. "Leaders" are a media spectacle created to drive corporate profits.

Agree kinda but
500lbs and dark thoughts were huge tho

This is just innacurate they are still doing weird s*** that the mainstream is too scared to do as a swath of diverse voices and styles lol they just don’t tend to be lyrically complex. Ur definition of underground only applies to like the 00s spaceghostpurpp was underground he didn’t rap about barely anything

As if this isn’t just as weird and out there for its time as a murs record lol

The absolute state

We need someone who is (relatively) lyrically complex but also doing the underground rage sound , that will bring everyone together

Check out bass on the second disk last track. trust

Wonder how much they’re projected to make of this campaign. Or if they just wanted to slight Drake

I will not be revisiting, thanks

all this s*** sounds like what you and the homies came up with on MTV music generator in elementary school can’t believe niggas is tryna bump they head to this man. We’ve sunk so f***ing far. Just get these dudes an EDM producer/festival set and leave hiphop already lmaoo

literally the result of niggas staying up too late on school nights and hearing Adult Swim Music cuts in between shows and commercials and saying
that’s the sound hiphop needs!

f*** you niggas man and that music lmaooo and this not any unc s***, you not getting that s*** off on me. that s*** is ass and we gone keep exposing it and where they influenced from lmao. bunch of YBN/OFWGTKA kids

Hip Hop needs a very hard reset, and the genre needs to get away from the majors.

Whole point of my reply is that yes it’s experimental different stuff it should have groups of people it elicits “wtf is this” from that’s how boundary pushing abrasive stuff always goes down when it’s out. I posted two ex examples of the ug being as far from mainstream radio pop I can imagine lol

This era is the exact opposite of the 2019-2021 era and dat is a good thing we want individuality if nothing else

How many posts by ppl reacting to current s*** can be swapped into the dead end hip hop death grips review and not sound out of place at all if u find the answer to that being not many then it’s a tired old head reaction to out there weird stuff

This.

Rap in the 90's, 00's, and 10's was full of larger than life artists, big albums, big hits, big tours, etc. which built a strong sense of community in rap.

Niggas here be on some early 2000's Anticon s*** thinking hip hop being mainstream is some type of cardinal sin lol.

That's exactly what destroyed the Anticon movement back then too. They were shunning rappers who "went mainstream" or made a club hit and they ended up falling off due to going too extreme in the opposite way.

Don't get me wrong. I still f*** with Eyedea and Brother Ali and Doseone to this day but that whole movement was on some "fuck mainstream rap" and "fuck party songs" wave that ironically went against hip hop's core ethos before Public Enemy and NWA blew up.

Also why no mention of 10k or ØWAY

all 3 names pulled out of a hat lmao. It seems like labels paid for placements,

His last album slaps tbh

lil tecca

need lucy bedroque and xaviersobased to break into the mainstream
