That's the only thing that matters to these new rap fans. They really just want pop but hip-hop is a badge of coolness, so they latch onto whoever gives them that pop taste while being "hip-hop" enough
Which is why rap is trash rn. Absolutely shameful genre rn. Deserves all the ridicule from fans of other genres. Rap has literally become a parody of itself
The art of the genre doesn't even matter, if it was up to them the distinction between hip-hop as an art and culture between other genres would be taken away
They then hide behind "hip-hop is evolving" but they don't really care about that either. Truly pop fans that can finally like hip-hop. I'm a pop fan too but this is ridiculous
I never hide my love for pop, this wasn't an exposal nosejabs. If you're gonna do Brave you gotta do Brave right
I only care about what I can memorize b
that 60 words a second Eminem dictionary bullshit does me no good
God you dusty hip hop gate keeping elitists are something else
People aren’t allowed to have preferences ?
A hook is the best part of the song
Not always
some verses/intros are too good
