If there’s one thing people have the power to gatekeep it’s a genre of music lol. Genres as we know them are kinda defined by gatekeeping

The real issue about all the "We just have to get used to this" s*** is that it seems that it's ALWAYS these corny white kids from privileged backgrounds and that's...that s*** is just not at all hip-hop man

That's why all these pasty cacs coming in treating this like a joke and making these meme songs is a problem. It will literally kill the genre and turn it into more of a joke than it has been these last few years. Especially when they're not even adding anything new to the s***. It's just white frat boy versions of s*** we've been getting, and it's so much worse.

If this is the new era we're about to be in then it's safe to say that once again white people have taken and ruined another Black genre.

Yeah ngl I was on that wave cause back then I resented all of the old heads around me still being out of touch and s*** and I geninuely liked the production by guys like Uzi & Carti. But deep down I was like this doesn’t hold a candle to anything that came out of the blog era and some of the GOAT rap from the 2000s. That was when I graduated college btw.

Now I find myself really tapping more into the classics and the guys that I grew up with (Kendrick, Tyler, etc) and also Boldy, Gibbs, Mach, and the other Griselda guys more cause that s*** is timeless to me.

I still check for Carti and Uzi but that Soundcloud era when rap was charting is definitely when the decline started. You could even argue that 2014 is also where the care for lyricism died but that’s a whole other topic.

All this to say, I think we just need balance.

It’s clear that you’re trolling now

An artist doesn’t have to have the same exact capabilities as their influences in order to sound like them or adopt their approaches to music stylistically, I’m actually sure you know this but you just want to troll so it’s all good

Eminem cited Led Zeppelin as an influence in his music, and although he can’t play a guitar, it definitely influences the sort of production he chooses to get on since he explored rock sounds in his music before

Won’t waste my time
