literally bro lmfaooo i be lurking these threads kinda confused but i get it. i think its deeper than the music tho

I think there’s a lingering effect of a lot of (suburban) people being introduced to rap through Kanye because he made more “intelligent” and “artsy” music so they were never really fans of the genre as a whole and generally have a more Rolling Stone/P4k in music. Rap was never their main focus.

That’s not a knock on Kanye cuz it’s not his fault but it’s a not insignificant portion of his fanbase that’s like that

I'm still laughing at this

For real there’s threads like that everyday, s*** is annoying

If you don’t like the mainstream then find new artists

Lol at your teenage years being your prime

they'll learn soon

wouldve been soooooo ass if i peaked in HS

Yep

History always repeats itself. Now the early 2010’s hip hop fans are feeling how 90’s and 2000’s niggas felt.

It’s not about being an old head. Rap really does suck nowadays. You could be a Kendrick but if you not acting like a 6ix9ine you’re overlooked cause you not making an ass out of yourself. Rap isn’t taken seriously anymore since it went pop. Too many casual fans that only like memes and what’s trendy have too much power now. S*** is ass. If I had it my way lyrical rappers would be the face of hip hop.

Pretty sure most the people on here 20+

Compared to like posters that were on KTT1 where a lot of people were teenagers when they were posting, now niggas in the early-mid 20s at this point

Ok but is it a lie

all this because future dropped the same album for the 5th time in a row

The biggest rappers right now are in their 30s so idk if this makes sense

I’m on my second year of my 20s and it’s already killing my teen years.

No money

Having to sneak b****es in the crib

Sitting in school 8 hours a day

i’m literally a zoomer it’s just the production nowadays is f***ing ass

a lot of these lyrical rappers got no star power that’s why no one cares about them

And it’s always been like this

OP orders happy meals

the nigga in your avy is 33

because kids arent going on message boards anymore. they have social media. we're the leftovers of a past generation.

Remember when meek and wale was the new school

When you're in your 20's you'll realize that you were never cool in your teen years

bunch of know nothings

It’s not a matter of lyrical vs non lyrical and the fact that you think it is shows you don’t really understand the nuances of this culture

Paradigm shift. It’s been slowly happening all year. You gotta think that KTT is getting much older now and this is a natural shift in taste and attitude to pop culture.
