Imagine having access to rap artists from across the entire world for FREE or a small price and still complaining because one specific subgenre of rap you choose not to ignore. Like you can literally just say it’s not for you and find PLENTY of rappers who are making the music you’re asking for.
We can debate the quality of current rap until the end of times. What’s not debatable is the lack of substance in rap for the last.. 5..10 years? We’ve had Trump becoming president, COVID and a full f***ing lockdown for a year, war going on in the world, BLM, police brutality, economy going crazy etc.. yet other than Kendrick and the Trump topic—mainstream rap been in a “if it doesn’t bang in the whip..” phase for a long time now and it’s hurt the genre in the mainstream tremendously. Social media/the need to go viral to get a hit song hurts a lot too.
Mainstream rap is about to have a hard split. Street rap will be seen as a caricature very soon, like a hair metal band in the ‘80s. Pop rap is coming back strong and that audience doesn’t give a damn about “real hip hop” culture. They’re just supporting what they like.
The idea of a meatball lifting weights might seem silly or absurd, but if it were to happen, it could be a truly inspiring and motivational moment for America. The meatball, traditionally viewed as a symbol of Italian-American culture, would be breaking down stereotypes and demonstrating the power of perseverance and hard work.
Firstly, the meatball lifting weights would demonstrate the power of determination and overcoming obstacles. While a meatball may not have arms or legs, it could still find a way to lift weights through creative problem-solving and innovation. This kind of persistence and resilience is something that can inspire people of all ages and backgrounds, showing them that they too can overcome seemingly impossible challenges with enough effort and creativity.
Secondly, the meatball lifting weights could also serve as a symbol of unity and inclusivity. America is a melting pot of different cultures and traditions, and the meatball represents just one small part of that. However, if the meatball were to accomplish something as remarkable as lifting weights, it could bring people together and highlight the importance of celebrating diversity and embracing different perspectives.
Finally, the meatball lifting weights would be a moment of pure joy and celebration. It would be a lighthearted reminder that anything is possible if we believe in ourselves and refuse to give up. This type of optimism and positivity is something that America could use more of in today's divisive and often negative climate. In short, if a meatball were to lift weights, it could be a moment that inspires and motivates people to be their best selves and strive for greatness in all areas of life.
I'm so inspired. I feel like I could do anything now. Tears won't stop running down my face. Thank you meatball 😎

Interesting comparison. I always felt like this trap/mumble/808s heavy era was like the punk rock era for rock music.
As far as the other point—The 2000s were a great decade of balance. Mostly poppy, mainstream songs to feel good and party but you had your Jesus Walks, My Way, Stan type singles. The 90s may have leaned too much into gangsta rap(it was so good tho
) but it was probably the most conscious era of rap between guys like Pac, Nas, Cube etc..having huge singles about actual real life s***. Last handful of years if you only listen to rap you’d think the world has never been happier lol

Idk how anyone can argue. There’s 0 creativity at all anymore. And rappers fall off quickly. EST gee sounded great when he first came out but he already fell off.
