The rags to riches story is easily the most common in all of rap music and plays into the American Dream/ Capitalist ideology perfectly. But I wonder, will artists ever start talking about distributing wealth and then it blows up? The ideology seems more popular than ever and the Zoomers are becoming disillusioned with Capitalism so I wonder if a shift will ever happened. I think the American Dream is so ingrained with hip-hop and the culture that the socialist type of rap would only probably blow up as a meme but could it ever make an actual splash?

Nope

every rapper wants to be a billionaire

hip hop the most capitalistic genre

No

New generation doesnt rap about anything so unlikely (felt like a boomer writing this but idc)

jpegmafia out now

Nah not even close might

anarcho trap coming out soon

Nah. Rap is about getting money by any means. Even if it means hurting the next man for a buck. And usually thats what it involves

my next big piece i am gonna release on here is going to be how music industry would look under socialist/communist

probably much less interesting tbh

Hopped out the foreign
Country to my destination
F***in up the city and the whole nation
Govna On the corner viewin me impatient
Watchin my every move from my house to the station
Ain’t got s*** like my bruddas but that’s just how it be
and all I got is apartment with a s***ty tv

No

i wouldn't say that by the late 70s the eastern bloc was pretty exposed to western music and lots of post punk/new wave bands became hugely popular and they quite popular

under nazi regime you would be correct because they banned non aryan style music (jazz)

anyone got the interview clip where Young Thug said he'd redistribute the wealth or something?

Savage Mode 2 out now

capitalism to the

B**** I got that equality (Equality!)

You and me dawg?

Distributed the same quantity (quantity!)

Idk but it has to be believable

I haven’t seen anyone with “eat the rich” in their social media bios or anyone who makes guillotine jokes that look like they’re about that life

The Coup is another hip hop duo which i know are marxists

lmfaooo

I mean what the f*** is a socialist rap? There's plenty of rappers that have socialist views or ideas in their music.

It's not like these rappers are all "pro capitalism" or "capitalist rappers", their raps are fed by their environment and they live in a capitalist country.

they aint talking about the free market in their songs

My thought is like, will there ever be an equivalent to a song like “Juicy” by Biggie that blows up with lyrics about socialist ideology/values
