The roundabout answers people are giving to avoid the root issue are hilarious

everything has really changed

He’s baby keem

Why hasn't anyone figured out how to do skateboard tricks on a surfboard

trying is corny

because it would result in bad music that neither party would listen to

Horrifying, but true for too many people

time has shown that people dont rly like that

there was a rapper on tiktok that was rapping politics over a rage beat that went hard ngl.

but to answer your question @op it's the zeitgeist that makes it so anything that doesn't gotta do with killing your own, hurting your own, or disrespecting your own the audience goes:

There's the common excuse, "we don't need that stuff in our music we can study it on the internet but yet.....nobody studies said content on the internet and folks is...kinda dumb.

in conclusion: #DemCrackersWon

there are plenty. Maybe one will pop off in the mainstream in the next few years but Rap and music in general is so pocketed off in diff niches due to streaming.

They have.

Rap Beat subgenres being different are the same as two completely different sports? Lmao what about the careers of people like Kanye and Wayne who literally effortlessly blended the two concepts and we can go back and find songs by Ye and Wayne (Yeezus and Rebirth) that literally precurse rage type beats that they had at least decent lyrical performances on

Y’all make so many excuses for post 2016 rap laziness lmaoo

But maybe you were just tryna make a cute post without thinking much into it

cooked him

How so

Its just a bunch of niggas on the internet saying that since 2016 meanwhile Kendrick and Drake are by far still the biggest rappers

??? Lol

Drake already did this!

According to what? Subjectivity aside XXXtentacion obviously had a huge fanbase and this was his whole formula

What “they” call underground hates lyricism lmao

It’s a different era buddy

!!!!

They’re talking about bullshit in that song too

it’s the same surface level rapper flex stuff as the young cats in exact opposition of what op was saying iirc
