The entire genre of rap is a meme, all rap is memerap, as it's objectively inferior/cheaper music. It's our degenerate plebeian Yea Forums that has tried to make us believe rap is an "essential" genre and that if you don't like it you must be "narrow-minded", a "redditor" who is "born in le wrong generation" and there's probably some racial element to it too. Rap music has no staying power. All of rap is just a neo-rockist sub-genre of top-40 pop, with a "urban" paint job. This music doesn't stand the test of time, it's a fad. That's why rappers are discussed about like fashion. Image/fashion/numbers sold are actually considered when talking about them. Rap is just a really cheap/lazy form of music anyways. The majority of rap beats are just stealing (MUHH "SAMPLING") another artist's music, looping it over a generic drumbeat while someone "raps" over it. The "technical aspects" of rapping are not hard at all. That's why there's 14 year old white girls on YouTube uploading themselves flowing with ease and speed, dropping multis like it's nothing. But because they don't fit the image of a "rapper", no one would take seriously. I've listened to it all from backpacker shit like cLOUDDEAD and Atmosphere to the "golden days" of Public Enemy and Eric B. and Rakim to instrumental stuff like J Dilla and DJ Shadow to the 90s with Nas and Mobb Deep to the CLT approved A Tribe Called Quest and Digital Planets to today like Kendrick and Kanye. All rap is meme rap. All of it. Stop spamming it.

BASED QUADS OF TRUTH
so cringe that tldr
If there's one thing I know about OP, it's that he's not a fan of rap (I go really high when I say "not" and then go down all the way till "rap")
How about rap being a meme is why rap is good?
>bridges are literally just things what you travel across things with
I personally don’t believe someone can listen to digable planets and not enjoy it
Every single one of these hot takes about "rap" is somebody mad that it's popular and that's it.
Your opinion really doesn't fucking matter. It's not brave. I don't care how b-b-b-based you are or some fucking stupidness.
You're a tard.
this desu
when a meme completely destroys rock music, you know it wasn't good to begin with
t. nigga straight from da hood
xD
I'm not reading that wall of text
Real popular thread you got going on here. Maybe try and actually have thoughts people give a shit about
I'm not OP
OP here rap music sucks. You guys are faggots.
good thing he listened to digital planets
Oh, do ya? Do ya get really high in like VOLUME. Is it volume or pitch. That is my question.
Quads of truth. I hate when people say that the beats in rap are actually really interesting. No, they are not, have you ever actually heard a good bossa Nova drummer? Or even a good rock drummer like Bonham or Moon?
Most people just follow whatever pop culture is so they can fit in. Marketers and record companies can easily control pop culture (see Billie Eilish), they don't want to deal with a full band that is hard to keep together, or huge sets, or long drawn out recording situations. So they get one idiot, give him a mic, and play a backing track behind him while he jumps up and down shout SHIT at the top of his lungs on an empty stage. Plaiboi carti did this yesterday at Coachella to great critical acclaim and fanfare
Fuck you quads, Paul's Boutique is genius and the Beastie Boys are great.
Ever heard of the Dilla feel?
Hear how every other hi-hat is a little "late". That's swing
Dilla is doing way more than that in his rhythms though e.g. Playing behind the beat, playing notes early or late, and varying dynamics to emphasize certain notes, all to create what you might call 'groove', 'feel', 'pocket', etc. Dilla's feel on drums is analyzed and imitated so much across the internet, but no one can truly play like him because they're not him. Yes, he did have some rhythmic tendencies. You can analyze them academically, then move this note a 32nd ahead and that one a 32nd behind, then slide everything back a few ticks, and you'll eventually be able to approximate the "Dilla feel".

When did "hip hop" become "rap"?
This is like asking when church music became chanting, or when death metal became screamo. Please stop being a retard
80s and 90s rap is incredible. You're outing yourself as a zoomer who has only listened to migos, or someone with objectively shit taste.
lmao migos is 100000000x better than that old cringe shit gramps
Listen to $uicideboy$ and Ghostemane and tell me you still hate rap. Blow a goat OP.
okay racist
Hip hop is the genre
Rapping is just part of it
You can have hip hop without rapping, how can it be the genre name?
And this is why I say that you are a retard. Yes, Hip Hop is a music genre, and Rap is a vocal technique used a lot in it but not necessarily "part of it" since it's also used in Grimes and some Eurodance.
To makes you understand why your question is retarded, here is another comparison :
>When did "Jazz" become "scat singing"?
Now stop being a retard.
Exactly. So why does everyone call it ''rap''.
yikes
Because people focus on the Rapping. Just like people will focus on scat singing if there is a Jazz album with it on all tracks.
