Will the 2020s be remembered as the decade rap died a pathetic death and was finally exposed?

rap is def in decline but it isnt fully dead yet, there is still some old uncs skulking around living off residual fame from when rap was still hot, like drake and kanye. But they are both old as fuck and living off borrowed timeAt the same time the underground of new young people in hip hop are incapable of crossing over because all that rage rap play boy carti clone shit is toilet sounds.the actual problem is there doesnt seem to be anything replacing rap, no up and coming sound or genre or movement, i used to dream of when rap would finally be dead, i hated how it replaced rock and wanted rock to come back, but it never did, instead raps decline led to more country music and complete ass pop music like sabrina carpenter and benson boonall in all zoomers have been such a disappointing generation
>>130503147No, because Kanye is keeping the genre alive.

No but the ridiculous criticisms people offered of rap 30+ years ago are starting to genuinely come true. There's something to be said about modern era rap having this predominantly impressionistic amusical approach but it's like a producer-led genre where the producers aren't that talented compared to their european counterparts, because American audiences and musicians or producers didn't take any of the available EDM or EDM-adjacent pills in the last 30 years. So electronic music is still basically a big niche in the US and rap music is a snake eating its own tail. My big take on it--which I don't like, but I guess I do believe ultimately--is that there's only so much that can happen in music when the music makers don't even posses an intuitive understanding of music. It's not unlike what has happened with rock music either. You get a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of an offshoot of a copy of a copy of a regional variant of a copy of a interesting new twist of a copy of a copy of a copy. And for whatever reason rap music ages like fucking video games, and the basis of what is good and worthwhile and popular is so shallow that there is probably a single digit amount of records and songs from the past 15 years that will stand the test of even the next decade. of course none of this is bad, per se. There is such a thing as social music, which is the baseline norm for what music is. It turns out people like having some songs on in the background, it doesn't matter so much what that song is though. That kind of listener will never go extinct.
Yeah
