I listened to every hip hop album

that has less to do with generations than it has to do with the diversity of sounds within hip hop which has always existed

If we part further away in the next ten years, you're gonna have people singing calling themselves rappers, it's basically the way it's heading given that melody it's all that matters to that specific fanbase.

Bro read the title and thought he had one

idk if we can say that'll happen when that's only true if the general public continues to make hip hop pop.

both legendary songs

I think the term hip hop will become the same as urban.

They was tryna convince us that old town Road was hip hop.

Like how sway

Facts

all genres eventually die. keeping hip hop how it was would have probably just made it die quicker and as a knock on effect made more traditional hip hop artists get less attention too.

There's still a lot of older school hip hop doing great: kendrick, pusha, griselda, hov etc. to name a few are all having great careers for their lane. And there's some newer rappers too like Megan putting out hit rap songs (whether you like her style or not).

i feel like all these younger rappers keeping hip hop the go to current sound for all pop culture helps the older artists still making hip hop too.

that makes sense

The 5 pillars of hip hop:

1. Graffiti
2. Breakdancing
3. Homophobia
4. Emceeing
5. Beatboxing

You know you can have two things at the same time right? S*** can change without totally losing its roots

That being said, some people ride on the new acts way too hard

A lot of current music is “post-hiphop” tbh

S*** like Travis Scott/Roddy Rich melodic-heavy stuff, etc

At the same time tho there’s still a lot of traditional hip hop stuff going on like Griselda etc

This thread got me confused i thought the first replies were still screenshots from op

eventually, maybe.

some genres have little connection with their roots. r&b, for instance, signified danceable or jump blues with piano or guitar, which meant groups like the beatles and the who and the rolling stones were billed and promoted as r&b bands--you had fun stuff like keith richards and jimi hendrix writing on the same r&b number (don covay, mercy mercy)--but we see these artists in retrospect as rock.

wasn't until folks like stevie and michael experimented with the genre in the 70s, adding funk and disco and soul et al. that r&b molted and signified something else.

hip-hop could develop like that, but the dividing lines aren't clear yet.

This dumbass took a few jokes so seriously that he made an entire thread about it.

OP isn’t slick, he pre-posted his avi

Bro think he slick

Obv the new generation gonna take time to get put on to old s***. I didn't come out the womb knowing 90s hip-hop cause I was born in 96. It's only natural we go through a period where dudes seem ignorant.

Lmao it’s funnier when I say it IRL with a college white guy accent

@op i would’ve agreed with you tho, BUT

My friend brought up a good point once. He said the reason rock died is cuz it was constantly divided into subs which made them more like fads and a “moment in time” (not sure word I’m looking for)

No stop being cynical and a lot of the new generation listens to the past than you think

Both timeless bangers. XO Tour Life more so

it looks just like lil b when it’s avy size also
