This is not that. Rock today is less alive than once it was, and it's no longer a movment. Many people come to massacre the corpse of rock to make money. Some still do something decent, but they're a minority

With rap it's the same. It's been commercialized too much, now it's almost dead. The are still decent rappers but they're not many

playboi carti

It’s ironic that it’s this kind of conscious rap that initially got a generation of white hipsters to respect rap, leading to its eventual mainstream acceptance.

Rap has been mainstream since the early 90's, what you mean is that MEDIA finally decided to report about it honestly because the government no longer perceived it as a threat; they bought it and controlled it and it's pop now, and nobody raps about anything real

Fuck off D, go get hanged

rappers nowadays can't even die as well as back then

>Tupac is shot right after getting pulled over by cops and flirting with some girls on the street

>Nipsey is shot right after abandoning his security and handing flowers to an ex-con

Black masculinity is fading.

Never been a fan of Lil Peep or X. Incredibly mediocre. Even Kendrick is weak compared to an Eazy-E or Nas.

Zoomers made Lil' Pump a millionaire, that is all you need to know to confirm how dumb they are

Pop has been shit for quite some time actually

that's fucking bulshit and you know. You sound like the kind of guy who really rehearses himself before posting anything on this board you disingenuous ass. Not even mad, not even sure if I should care, desu.

it's true, rap is commercial and it SUCKS as a result

Niggers have always been cringe, it just got memed by even cringier whites.

>Black masculinity is fading.
this, there haven't been any hardcore "thug" rappers since 2013 or so, the old chiraq scene was the last gasp of gangster rap. now everyone's on opiates, dying their hair pink and biting emo music

How else are you gonna make whpipo defend rap?

that's because you gotta do gay shit to get a deal so you might as well come out rather than try to hide and get that gay paper

I like Token

White boys love that gay shit

OKEIGH

>You sound like the kind of guy who really rehearses himself before posting anything on this board
This doesn't sound like a critique tbqh. It's basically "you're dumb because you put effort in posts"
>that's fucking bulshit and you know.
No, I unironically believe that excessive commercialisation often kills the culture associated to a genre
>not even sure if I should care
You're on Yea Forums(nel), you shouldn't. You might want to make a point though

... and that's a good thing, because it is a fight against toxic masculinity in rap

Jew marketing, it’s a win-win. Youths like edge and degeneracy which makes it an easy sale, it also degenerates black culture further in graining a sense that ‘true black identity’ is about resisting white culture and chimping out.

sheck wes actually has some great songs. He's hit or miss but very unique, especially in songs produced by yunglunchbox

desu i didnt even read your post, i just wanted to bump the thread

Why is mu so cucked? Black "music" is trash.

>member back in the day

There are some really cool acts right now
Im sure there were lame artists in your time too, gramps

Rap was always shit. Niggers were always shit. Period.

This. Fuck this cucked board.

Back then rappers were writing rhymes to survive and fight an establishment built to annihilate the Black Man. Nowadays rappers mumble whack rhymes for Instagram likes and appeal to college white boys

Thanks for the you anyway. Why would you bump this tho?
Unless you listen to classical from more than 120 years ago you are listening to music influenced by black music.
Also rap and black music are objectively based
Based reasonable user

Any black musician who uses computers to produce music is stealing from whites. Synthesizers, computers and electronic music were invented by whites.

Any white musician using drums is a stealing from blacks then

You are the goodest goy today, user. The first "rap battle" was described in the Kalevala, the first modern rappers just stole heavy metal songs and started chimping to it - do not fall for the "blax inventioned ewerythin'" meme. Monotone chimping is not "lyrics", ass waggling is not "dance" and playing repeating pre-recorded tunes in your shitty laptop is not "producin'" anything. The only reason rap is relevant nowadays that the Jewish producers (you know, the ones with the REAL money) have to pay less to one nigger and his laptop than a band of 4-5 dudes/dudettes. Face it, you are feasting on mass-produced turd, and the cheapest mass-produced turd on top of that. I will give you one (1) thing: there used to be good black bands, but you need to look for them outside of the USA.

bullshit. whites had drums before ever seeing blacks.

I still remember the days when rap fans were honest, not college white boys

I realy hope you are just trolling me. Maybe classical had toms or military snares or watever but what about syncopation? What about stress on 2 and 4?

If you don't realize that 99% of music today and in the last 50 years is influenced by niggas I don't know what you're doing here on mu

Yo matey! Yu slay! These NIGGERS dont get the gud culture of us, wites! They got SO angry thei convinced themselves that THEY influenced us, those DUMMIES. just look at this dude His niggerness IS showing. olso NIGGERS and JEWS are friends because they both want to GENOCIDE wites because theyr gelause. DISGUSTInG! fucj tehm!1

This is the biggest problem. The audience changed, and exposed rap for what it was or at least what it had become by then, a corporate tool that panders.

Even Eminem, Kid Rock, and ICP, who the modern climate of hip hop "fans" hate, all still kept a "I'm lower class and respect this culture" attitude regardless of how true it was, modern rap? Even the blacks don't respect it or where it came from. It's shit.

Is this American education?

Ayo kill
Ayo bitches n shit
Ayo fucking selling drugs
Ayo nigga nigga niggga
Ayo didn’t know my dad *tear*
Ayo streets

Sells 1 million album to dumb spineless white dudes in their teens and 20s.

I agree and I'm not a fan. Much of 90's and 00's rap was cool

The rap game ain't in me no mo'

That's modern rap, though. Rap in the 80s and 90s had substance

Look fag you can shit on "yah"s and "ayy"s but "ayo!"s are fucking based

based and truthpilled

jej

Most of the old school rappers you're idolizing with posts like these sold out to the music industry and paved the road for this. They ain't worth idolizing

i agree with what you say but words are just words and their meanings change with time. in 2025 cellphone "produced" music could be today's equivalent of cookie cutter potato computer production

earl and tyler are boring asf

Denzel Curry, Joey Badass, JID, Vince Staples
