why did rap die?
Everything that could be rapped about has been said a hundred times over. Every beat has been recycled ten thousand times. It's now primarily listened to by corny wigger druggie retard fuck ups with no taste. It's peak NPC music, and even normies are starting to realize it.
>>130339200It wasn't music. It just took certain people (ie. americans) a REALLY long time to figure that out.
>>130339200they retards killed each other too much and now there is very few rappers and all of them are boringalso because its not music
1. rap is now 50 years old, rock music died when it reached 50 too2. lack of young up and comers that dont suck, rap is dominated by old uncs like drake and kanye, or its underground toilet sounds/ rage rap all trying to rip off playboy carti3. covid really stalled its momentum4. the drake and kendrick beef was the series finale of rap, it was pop rap vs conscious rap, and conscious rap won, but that type of rap isnt really topping the charts 5. a theory going around right wing circles that says black cultural dominance has peaked because america is becoming more latino and black demographics are stalling or in decline, the only black people growing in number are immigrants straight off the boat from africa, you can see this in the rise of acts like bad bunny, and the latinos will either want their own culture or want to assimilate into white culture
>>130339200Because it fucking sucked. Amazing the social charade of pretending to like it lasted as long as it did.
>>130339381thanks for the answer, ChatGPT
rap was all about being fly, gangsta, wasting people with Glocks, getting rich, plundering hos, etc. it couldn't survive the forced sissification of mass culture in the 2010s.
>>1303394832030 is less than 3 years away and it’s extremely likely two biggest rappers will still be Drake and Kendrick Lamarthis rap shit is over
>>130339494Any music format dies when it decides to pander to women.
>>130339548Actually the opposite. American pop is bigger than ever cause it's made exclusively for the female audience. When a genre starts appealing to men now youre "scaring the hoes"See alt rock and radiohead
>>130339200Rap died the same exact way rock died. They stopped being cool. Modern rappers are all sheltered retards on SSRIs, there is no street cred anymore. The Kendrick-Drake beef was the final nail in the coffin. That's when the world realized what a fucking clown show the rap scene had become when your beef is between some sheltered Canadian and some sheltered performative retard. Not a single shot fired, not a single gang involved. Rap lost its edge.
>>130339200Ran out of USAID funds.
>>130339200Not enough triggers
>>130339381Agree with most of these.>3. covid really stalled its momentumCould you elaborate on this? >5. a theory going around right wing circles that says black cultural dominance has peaked because america is becoming more latino and black demographics are stalling or in decline, the only black people growing in number are immigrants straight off the boat from africa, you can see this in the rise of acts like bad bunny, and the latinos will either want their own culture or want to assimilate into white cultureThis sounds accurate. Latinos are already the majority in certain US states like California and New Mexico. Even states that are 90% white have enclaves with a large Latino population, e.g. Nashua, New Hampshire. Even in kids' cartoons you no longer see the token Black kid but the token Latino kid. I also think it's funny how most of the new generation hip hop nepo babies aren't Black but biracial or racially ambiguous, like North West and Gekyume Onfroy.
>>130341937There is no edgy music genre anymore, at least not one popular enough to start a movement.
>>130339200Pop, EDM and rap are still the most popular genres.The only genre that is dead, is rock.
>>130339200Hip hop was a CIA psy-op.
>>130339200/WDRD/ Why Did Rap Die Generalwhy do you keep making these threads every day
>rap in 1998>"I'll kill you and your children, you fat motherfucker">rap in 2026>"I'm filing a lawsuit because you took the beef too far and you hurt my feelings"I'm not saying there weren't a lot of fake tough guys in the 90s but at least they tried to act the part
drake will break this streakthe culture loves icemanrap died?
>>130342008>I also think it's funny how most of the new generation hip hop nepo babies aren't Black but biracial or racially ambiguous, like North West and Gekyume Onfroy.I never, ever, ever want to hear a nepo baby attempt to rap.
>>130341937>there is no street cred anymore.Makes even more sense when you realize most of the rappers on the charts nowadays grew up middle-class in the suburbs with relatively stable families. You don't hear any rap about growing up in the streets and being forced to sell drugs in order to survive anymore, at least not with rappers in their 20s.
It's funny how rap became big on /mu/ in early '10.After pitchfork and "hipsters" adopted this genre.Now you care about it's "declining". Hope whites stop listen it and rap return to niggers and become great again.
>>130341903selling more doesn't mean the same thing as being good unless youre a soulless npc who sees music as a product
>>130342396dude all the "og" rappers like tupac were nepo babies. a lot of them were kids of high ranking military or intelligence ppl. look into the early life sections.
Its one of the more limited genres, and since being skilled at lyricism and production has become "backpack oldhead shit" innovation has come to a halt, and right now i can think of anything more uncool than being an up and coming rapper
>>130339200No genre has ever stayed commercially or culturally dominant forever. Get over it and stop spamming these useless threads about why rock or rap fell off multiple times a week.
>>130339381>the only black people growing in number are immigrants straight off the boat from africaNot only that, but black Africans and black Americans despise each other, so the former are probably not inclined to listen to the latter's music, let alone contribute to it.
Rap died when people started taking "drumless" music seriously.
Rap peaked in the lates 80s/early 90s when the New York underground scene was mature and mainstream was limited to pop rap. Jewish execs wanted a share of the pie which gave dogshit like “gangsta” rap and southern rap. It only went downhill from there, people say mumble rap was the death of hip hop, it died a long time ago.
>>130344082>Jewish execs wanted a share of the piethey and many other interests. labels, media etc. poured millions into the scene and profited to tune of billions. then labels and magazines decided to fuel this manufactured east vs west nonsense. the story of tim dog's "fuck compton" song needs a movie made about it. shit is ridiculous:>record label exec gets hilarious idea >"hey why not diss those niggas in compton? lol">gets ced-gee of ultramagnetic mc's to find a good rapper and ced-gee would produce tracks>tim dog was looking for a record label contract. deal was done.>drop penicillin on wax with single fuck compton on it>everyone continues on with their lives. hilarious fun had by all and the album and single did extremely well>label exec out at some function/event (i forget exactly) and runs into eazy-e, someone he's friends with btw>tells eazy "did you hear that penicillin on wax album we made? :D">label exec still thinks the album is just a joke and it's all hilarious>eazy, realizing his friend is a bit dumb or mentally challenged, was apparently slightly amused by that revelation and "gave him a pass", had to tell him that people didn't think it was very funny, and then exec realized the seriousness of it all1990s were wild
>>130341903>American pop is bigger than ever cause it's made exclusively for the female audience.Pop always was that though.
>>130342127How's the weather in Mumbai?
Also jazz died when it became gentrified horse shit.
>>130339483you know this website is dead because an actual thoughtful post gets responses like this. what even is the point of posting here? honestly?
>>130344031so in 1300?
>>130339381>"1. rap is now 50 years old">he thinks rap started in 1976
Drake was just the 2010s Bobby Vinton or something ie. meaningless chart filler pop forgotten in a week of hitting the top 10.
The decades-long push for 'respectability' towards hip hop has made it part of the establishment, i.e. uncool.
>>130341903Like half Radiohead fans are women... it aint even incelcore music.Women think "omg Creep? thats literally me"
>>130339200It was fake and gay no-music larping as le urban poetry of le oppressed pavement monky
>>130339200It's boring and cringe.
>>130346457ThisIts "music" for retarded manchildren/thread

>>130344082>Rap peaked in the lates 80s/early 90s when the New York underground scene was>when the New York underground scene was mature and mainstream was limited to pop rapnah that shit was actually trash. once kool keith dropped these bars on ego tripping:>They use the simple back and forth, the same, old rhythm>That a baby can pick up, and join, right with them>But their rhymes are pathetic, they think they copacetic>Using nursery terms, at least not poeticboom bap and that 80s rap sound was effectively dead. if you're a zoomer try to understand that guys like mc shan and kool keith were bigger than jay-z at the time. this is like the god of boom bap music saying boom bap is trash then completely abandoning it and effectively creating a new genre on his solo debut. rap peaked with the experimental early to mid 90's stuff that came right before gangster rap. dr octagonecologyst was the most influential rap album ever made and virtually all modern beatmaking is downstream from it. really kool keith is the only truly creative person who's ever existed in the rap genre. almost everything that rap music does today was first copied from him.
>>130344082>Jewish execs wanted a share of the pie which gave dogshit like “gangsta” rap and southern rap.the story of snow's song informer and how it got made is very telling of where the industry was in the late 80s early 90s. the biggest rapper in new york started saying the jewish executives at his record label were trying to make him give them blowjobs and change his lyrics to gangster rap to keep his record deal. so he walked away from the music industry and used the last remaining bit of his clout and industry connections to put on snow, an incredibly talented reggae singer who was blackballed by the music industry for being a white canadian guy. and they released the best selling reggae single of all time together independently. then mc shan left the music industry and snow fucked off to jamaica to be a dancehall radio dj.
oh also they tried to snub informer's success by having jim carey make fun of snow for "being a suburban white kid appropriating their culture"which is pretty ironic since jim carey is a jew trying to skinwalk as something he's not (white)and double ironic since the "canadian suburban white kid" snow actually lived that life. the song literally has bars threatening the witness of a double homicide he was on trial for when the song came out. realer shit than most black rappers lol.
>>130339200because it's been the same trap beats for the past 16 years
