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.

This has nothing to do with music and everything to do with death of monoculture and the rise of streaming

But ppl on here will eat this up anyway

And what's hilarious is that you can't even use the whole "ya'll probably don't go to parties" schtick anymore cause modern rap doesn't even get played at clubs like that except for female rap.

Female rap or Thot rap is keeping the modern club scene alive.

Meanwhile, there's no shortage of classic club or party songs from the 90's, 00's, and early-mid 2010's. Even young people today would rather dance to Wobble or Always On Time than a run of the mill modern Trap/Drill/Rage song today.

I remember watching a club scene in Atlanta where Lil Baby was playing and the crowd was so dead, it looked more like a lounge than a club lmao.

I bet if "Get Low", "Yeah", or "Move B****" started playing, the whole mood would change though.

I see this phrase constantly used as some type of jab or low-efforted comeback whenever users don't reply positively to a post about a middle schooler's rap career pushing lean or a drill rapper just copying the plot from SAW blowing his throat out yelling in the mic.

And I just want yall to understand as a 29 year old that I speak for us when we say

"you're growing out of touch"

Cool! There's nothing to be in touch with. Judging by the charts and the lack of #1s the rest of the world is also finding nothing to touch within this rap s*** lol.

Man all the new niggas are full of anxiety and percs why tf would I wanna be in touch with that? Parties dont even be the same now "scaring the hoes" has become a real thing NOBODY talks to each other

I also find it funny it's only a...certain type of young rappers yall bring up when it comes to "pushing new artists" because, it was crickets when niggas was bringing up niggas like cisco swank and ghais guevara on here.

Just saying when yall (and it be mainly niggas that are...literally in they mid 20s or even late 20s saying this so yall really projecting) say this, it's not the ace in the hole that y'all think it is 'nahmean?

This applies to every genre

Name a genre besides pop (which is solely based on current relevance in the first place) where the main songs played at parties aren’t decades old

Lil Baby still managed to have the best selling rap album this decade though which means that the masses will still invest in modern artists if they feel their musical output.

Electronic tbh

Not that that scene doesn’t have some bullshit of its own, but go to any decent club or rave in a major city and you’re hearing modern jungle, d&b, house, hell even the more generic Drumcode-style techno is at least alive and constantly cranking out new s***

(Broadly though at less genre-specific functions your point still stands)

U literally just used Lil Baby as an example of why rap before was better bc he wasn’t moving the crowd and now ur using him as an example of one of the good ones?

Make up ur mind bro

i'm a couple years removed from college and i'll say this, when i was in high school my classmates weren't listening to older artists as much as my high school aged cousins and their classmates are now. like in 2015 people weren't listening to stuff from like 08 or whatever that much but my cousins friends still are saying i'm lucky to have been in college to experience 2016 as it happened being that age. there's a lot of amazing music coming out but the scene just isn't the same

This site is just “fans” left over from the previous era of hiphop who can’t accept the changing of times

Some people have opened their minds and ears but most of u haven’t and ur still stuck on the same artists as 5 years ago
