U don’t even need to go that far back tho lol. I’d say the early 10’s rappers still had their own style and character

And things shifted during the SoundCloud era

yall have Drake to thank for this btw

thank me later

Anything that becomes super popular will end up being generic over time, granted a lot of the new mainstream rappers lack versatility, their styles are profitable and what makes them popular.

Bruh posted 3 rappers who are pretty talented and called em bland

Air force ones is much better than 80 percent of music out today

drake make an array of hits that all sound different try again

meghan and roddy are mid

The game became monotonous once the true innovator (Kanye) lost passion for it

Enjoy the mediocrity

label machine dont want to put money into risky music if they can make quick returns off a formula

sad what this forum's turned into

There are a handful of rappers who have been super versatile. 98% of rap history is rappers doing what works for them.

Fr this is why astronaut in the ocean is such a breathe of fresh air

Aggressive hip hop is literally the most popular right now. Durk, Von, Lil Baby, Pooh Shiesty, etc

I wouldnt consider the average durk or baby song aggressive

It’s so weird at that point the song could just be acapella lol

lost me with the roddy one the other two i agree with for the most part

reaching on Roddy.

Are you on crack? I'm convinced yall niggas can't read or comprehend

i said, yall can thank drake for making pop rap so successful that it f***ed up mainstream hip hop. Smd stupid ass

Normally I would agree but post 2018 he’s been a lot more aggressive hence his renewed run

Exactly , love or hate them, they’re FAR from bland. Especially DaBaby. Dudes be washed at a young age and it’s sad to see. There should be a requirement to listen to at least 80% of someone’s catalog before talking on them.
