Niggas wanna be cool and make a song that fits into the trends instead of actually advancing the genre or making something genuine to them

But being cool and making a song to fit in is genuine to them

Funny thing is they gonna switch back to pretending to caring about music when the next Drake Kanye Kendrick etc types drop lol

never rocked w this term idc if niggas acc mumbling now

The problem with every “advancement” like this after 2016-2018 is that these roundabout explanations just kinda overstep that lyrically its relatively easier to just say s*** that comes to mind in a post Veeze LUCKI cadence than it is to do what Wayne or Kanye or even their lesser contemporaries used to do lol

Bro we are ground zero for the concept

Our generation isn’t “fine” from even growing up in that pre Twitter phase of social media and YouTube lol and moreso PSPs and iPod/iPhones

We just feel superior because we had the last little bit of a***og life but all these new diagnosis’ and mental health issues that somewhat differ than those who came before us largely start with people born in the 80’s-90’s and after lol

He made this.

Ratlanta really lost the sauce in the last couple years

Bein dumb is cool

I have my own theories about why Earl is doing this but I'm hungry & tired so imma get back to this

I'm going to pretend this is hard and innovative because I'm afraid of aging

There's nothing cool about sounding like 30 other NPCs

both things can be true even though that doesn't apply to my point about earl/mach. it can be intentional and also easier in general. same way it was easier for wayne to freestyle endlessly over whatever beat they cut on and make songs out of that than him sitting and writing to every single beat purposefully making a song out of it like those before him

and wayne also did both a lot, not knocking that either cus you don't make s*** like Trouble just getting high saying whatever comes to mind. but his freestyle approach was not universally loved lol a lot of people thought he was lazy too

Think about it

People are dumb right, so they fw other dumb people, making it cool to be dumb

Everything is a popularity contest

These kitties better never come to my city

idk many of my friends are pretty solidified in their careers and still active on IG/Twitter and gaming every day while others are now beginning to hit their stride in life. I haven’t really heard of anyone struggling outside of layoffs but our generation is resilient and able to find jobs quickly, and most have kids now too to go along with their lives, are pursuing 2nd or 3rd degrees, or traveling all the damn time. Again, the system failing the youth doesn’t tell the entire story of what’s happening on the ground. That’s just the system failing them and then turning around and blaming the youth who are still growing and figuring it out

You know whose fault this is

Same goes for monotone raps, when it works it works. But I always prefer clarity and tone in my raps tho

Ur white

maybe in your social circles, but just about everyone from my high school i still follow is doing pretty well in life for themselves lol. many are even at high executive level already and we aren’t even 30 yet and post on their stories often

Tell me your life story in one paragraph

Most my friends all either broke asf or working 24/7 or both

None of us are rly doing crazy s*** that costs a lot of money

graduated high school and went straight into the workforce, got tired of hourly wages and enrolled back into school, then went to a job fair my senior year of college 2024 and landed multiple interviews and a salary role that pays triple my old hourly wages
