One of the greatest artist in hip hop history is fighting for his life and no one is talking about it? But you're willing to talk about backpack rappers like Kendrick or zesty mossad singer's like drakeMAKE IT MAKE SENSE!
>>131374823Trap died with Von, normies mostly listen to pop and country now
>>131374909I kind of agree, and I kind of see rap dying down in general. At the same time, you cant underestimate the trap market. Pooh sheisty(lol) released a song on his first day out of prison, and it was extremely successful.
>>131374948The underground is really interesting right now if you're not a /pol/tard, but I think it's all a little too adhd tiktok brain to crossover into the mainstream. Not really sure where rap can go after the soundcloud era. Someone young is going to have to do something brand new imo
>>131374984I see more of a techno forward sound, whith country, R&B sound Some of these young artist that I personally would categorize as "techno" have a self per claimed hip hop origin. Like the rapper 2holly, I believe his name is with his song jeans. Besides love songs, these newish techno groups try to keep a hip hop capitalistic attitude. Even though they're kind of old you can see 100 gecs try to use that hip hop attitude.
>>131374984Youngboy was kinda doing that with those bluesy wah-wah beats he was rapping on, and I think OTF and Lil Baby and whoever the fuck else was briefly relevant a few years ago were too, but it fizzled out very quickly. I think normies (white people) are just numb to gang culture at this point. They'd rather be dodging potholes in they sunburt Silverado these days ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pnlOJl1m78
>>131375054>I think normies (white people) are just numb to gang culture at this point. They'd rather be dodging potholes in they sunburt Silverado these days ...I believe a lot of what you said to be the truth. The schizo in me however cant ignore the fact that most of what normies listen to is controlled by the music industry. I Also believe most of street culture is dying out in general because everyone is getting arrested and its pretty much impossible to be career criminal. The surveillance state is extremely real and powerful
pooh shiesty thats my dawg but pooh you know im really shiesty
>>131375046It's my own schizo headcanon that when trap took over, hip-hop ceased to be hip-hop, and instead became America's EDM. That's what a lot of self-produced underground rappers are more leaning heavily into, but like I said, I think they just need one zoomer with a progressive enough ear, and enough to charisma to appeal to the masses. And it probably has to happen soon before country devours everything
>>131375079I agree that the industry controls what gets pushed to some extent, but without getting too much into it, I think the "Death of the Monoculture" is real, and only the most braindead room-temp IQ people still fall in line. I've also heard it said that "Record labels don't give a fuck what you want to listen to, as long as you buy it from them," and it seems most people are buying (streaming) country, and probably will be for the next decade, and unfortunately mostly for political reasons. Hip-hop I think has to go underground for a while and find it's soul again
>>131374909the chicken/smoke spot I used to work at, i was on the chicken side, and the zoomers running the smoke spot were blasting 110% scare the hoes music loud af whole shift. lazer dim and 2slimey nonstop, it's over
>>131375153It is funny to see blatant industry plants get rejected by the public even though you can tell that their agents and managers tried everything thing in the Hollywood machine to put them on, i don't even know how country stars get their popularity from, my guess is Nashville. Some how they managed to get Billie elish accepted by the masses and they reallywant ice spice to be a thing.
>>131375210It used to be pretty difficult to find out who was a trust-fund baby, at least through google searches alone. Country, for as much as I hate it, I think has always been a merit-based genre, and I'm not even really sure they can industry-plant it, because you have to be from it, kinda like how hip-hop used to be. I'm sure they'll find some way to circumvent that, if they haven't already.
>>131374823Never bumped his shit in my life. I've heard Keef, Herb, Von, Montana, Louie, Jeff, never once felt compelled to listen to this nigga except when he was gettin' clowned for All My Life.Nobody ever talked about him like he was genuinely on some shit. How tf you get another dude in the game and get overshadowed by him within 2 years and then many more from beyond the grave. Goofy shit.
>>131375194scarin' the hoes shit is mainstream with lil alt alphies like North
>>131375098hip-hop =/= rap
Dirk is a bitchJam been locked up years knowing he snitching and OTF can't touch him? OTF only hitters were Von and Jam.
>>131376739This is a TLC cosplay you retard
>>131374909trap isnt dead, its just that the states where the trap artists are from lose relevance
>>131374823Not music.
>>131374823Retard thought he could pay for retaliation shootings, rap and tweet about it constantly, and never get caught. He's getting put away for life lmao
>>131379593If you're trying to shit on black people, then you probably shouldn't listen to music unless its classical because American blacks pretty much shaped all of America's music taste.
YA MAN GOT SHOT YOU MADE A DISS TRACK
6ix9ine won
>>131380910Nothing felt better than when 6ix9ine's final arch nemesis, he who shall not be named, Zillakami finally got BTFO'D after a decade of trying to sabotage 69s career. That was the cherry on top.>do nothing>win
>>131380781Not music. Also stop lying Timmy. The guitar does not feature alongside peanut butter as a black invention.
>>131379393go listen to North's latest music retard
>>131380860>>131380910>>131380937he's so zoomer-coded but it turns out he just appeals to zoomers and is actually in my classyear (last of millennials)
>>131381349Yes he turned 30 this year. He's actually pretty millenial coded, hes heavily inspired by chief keef and other Chicago rappers. He tried to bring back BB Robbins belts in 2018
>>131380937>>131380860I dont understand the current popularity for 69. He's a pedophile rat who makes shitty music.
>>131381965Day69 was good. What makes his music so bad? Lyrics aside he was the best in the "trap metal" genre, yes even better than X
>>131382044Lol he stole his shit from rondo and onyx. He's nowhere near the best when it comes to trap metal.
He raped a baby in a easy chair - BOG
>>131383419Yes, that’s why “easy chair” appears in Marcel Proust
I Found A Whistle
>>131374823>fighting for his lifeI thought he was beheaded
>>131383577Siberian Breaks
Goldie!
Restraing Order! Can’t see my daughter
>>131374909Rap is associated with losers now. Especially drill and soundcloud rap. It has taken over rock music in that way. You hear spanish music blairing from 6 cars for every 1 car you hear rap blairing from and less than half of those are new songs.
I've been listening to Trap Lore Ross's coverage of the trial as background noise every day. Patiently waiting for someone to beat him up outside the courthouse. No ill wishes towards Ross, it'd just be amusing.
>>131380781just appreciate the incel giving you a bump to your thread
>>131374823if durk goes down, and I believe he will. this will be the final and last chapter in the war in chiraq series that started so many years ago. think about all the newer artists that went and passed away. I thought lil jeff was gonna make it but he's gone. it was only durk, but it's all over after he gets a life sentence. sad shit, but well deserved, he earned this
>>131384354look, I'm not the one glazing black men here. and by glazing I mean glaze as in cum.
>>131384354I can't appreciate it because im an i cel as well
>>131384516>brings up black men and cum in the same post out of nowhereincels yet again exposing their fetishes lmao
Seems like Durk just had Jam around for street clout. Durk always seemed soft to me and not really about it. You can't be gangsta and signing on raps.
>>131381725not a single aspect of his output is inspired by what chief keef was doing
>>131381965He's humorous, reasonable, and not afraid to speak on controversial subject matter. His music is also hoipe.
>>131384327I hope not a hair upon his head ever gets tussled.
>>131384389nigga dirk is not special nor is he some sort of last man standing
>>131385760he has whole ass prey eyes and his first baby momma was a doughy becky
https://youtu.be/uOYiTeijxb8This video was made 4 years ago yet it perfectly describes the unraveling of the lives of multiple famous rappers over the last few years. They never learn.https://youtu.be/tJTF0n2aBi4
>>131374948>I kind of agree, and I kind of see rap dying down in general.ya USAID was cut off
>>131374823We don't listen to cRap over here.
>>131374823Usaid money stopped flowing in and rap stopped being relevant almost overnight.
>>131384327Fun fact: Trap Lore Ross has, for the last two years, been the most generous contributor to Nathan Cofnas's Substack.
nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga, im 100% nigga. nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga, im 200% nigga.
