9 page thread crying about it

Choose one

he literally did it in the op

nah i agree but that’s kinda their biggest look so far with stuff like hillbillies and our destiny

and yeah i love snow strippers too AM3 my favorite project of the year

It aint just melz lol. Forgot who it was that said destroy lonely was the future of hip hop but it wasnt melz

there are a lot of threads like that

MIKE influence is crazy

it does kind seem like biting him down to the performance mannerism in the arms and stuff

Bro 6ix9ine was hard idk why yall can’t admit that lol

Exactly

Bro listen to what you like listening to idk

This is where I’m at, atp I’m tired of them both lmao

Only rap projects I really loved this year were Scaring The Hoes, Quaranta, The Great Escape, Utopia, and the Tobi Lou projects. I’m liking Carti’s new sound a lot, and I respect what Noname is doing even if it’s not my cup of tea, and beyond that I found myself barely ever checking for rap releases.

I’d be lying if I said I wasn't particularly frustrated by the Kanye-sized hole in the scene. Closest people dropping that level of full-length project that feels like an event and maintain the quality are Kendrick, Travis, Drake I guess… Nicki I guess…

I’m definitely out of touch as well, don’t get me wrong. I’m turning 30 in March and nowadays my taste is much more in instrumental music (I f***ing loved the 3 stacks album idc) but it’s not like I’d not like to be tapped in. Utopia was a particularly exciting moment because it felt like the only banner release for rap this year that brought everyone together for the love of the medium, but even that wasn’t the same as what once was.

Tl;dr: I miss when the rap conversation covered more than just the extremes.

Also it’s ironic as f*** that this conversation is happening on an objectively outdated forum medium tbh. I still love it but let’s not act like the youth are on here like they were when we were the youth.

Where do the youngins get their hot takes off these days?

Man I don’t know I was born in 1994 sure as hell isn’t here though

Twitter, Reddit and discord

95 here. Damn we really are the old heads of this s*** now

Time really do fly!

Am I trippin or does op not literally make this thread every week

Like this gotta be the 4th one atleast

Twitter and discord as so ass to me..

Forums just feel better for some reason, like there isn’t some urgency to have to respond quickly

It really does man, I’m just grateful we had the time we did

These newer and newer artists are just awful.

I’m realizing that a lot of the previous wave that I had all throughout my playlists just get phased out and removed within months.

They really were some epic times

Exactly.

Drake, Cole, and Kendrick are getting up there in age and still have a major hand in the culture.

Even Travis and Tyler are over 30 and blew up in the 2010's and have a major hand in the culture.

Kanye and Eminem are still breaking streaming records too despite the former being a nutcase and the latter being 51 and shatted on by many modern rap fans.

And Nikki Minaj who's over 40 is outselling every female rapper rn.

And Billboard is even touting Killer Mike's album as AOTY and he's almost 50.

But nah.....we all just dusty and stuck in the past. Clearly, the rest of the world recognizes that mainstream rap is in a new Golden Age that's resonating with the masses and it's us "dustheads" who are out of touch lmao.

(somewhat) guilty pleasure for real

there’s only so much “i f***ed your b****, and i’m extremely high and wealthier than you” music i can listen to in a span of time though
