remixes and posse cuts

everyone attempting to do their best freestyle on whatever the most popular track was at that moment

sample clearances not being a huge issue

rappers actually acknowledging and interacting w each other, collabing

also miss when you could count on an album being 100% new material, specifically recorded to fit the sound of that album

nowadays you can tell that it's just random leftovers from an old recording session thrown together, everything sounds like a compilation, not cohesive, too many singles released to build hype or leaks ending up on albums

Being overly angry at suck MCs

Extreme sample use on mixtapes

Rappers who could acknowledge they were not singers and instead let singers do hooks

anthems like i want one

All of this makes me realize there’s a lack of good hip hop culture these days not gonna lie

Big one

Rappers have zero personality these days

Just gay weirdo’s like Carti and Uzi

Late 2018

Completely agree with everyone saying conpetivness.

I think social media has made rappers terrified of putting themselves out there in case they get trolled.

Look at DDG, bloke has been a laughing stock for a minute and all he has done is release a couple of remix’s of his songs.

This too, they let ANYBODY infiltrate

When rappers would get sucked off in Venice. Been down hill ever since

this is one of the most subtle things that’s ruined the game and it’s so commonplace no one even calls it anymore

from country singers using a hip hop cadence to MIKE on the new Earl single to everything in between why are niggas still rapping like Quavo lol

The biggest reason why everything different lol

Rappers back then were like superheroes lol

I don’t know what angle you coming with this but I think Vince tried to touch on this when he said “everyone we love is on a 360”

We at a crossroads where in theory we like the idea of everything being a free for all and independence over everything and blah blah blah but most of the moments we hold in high regard is a result of corporate budgets pushing niggas to ridiculous levels lol
