How is it possible for RAP concerts to be selling so many tickets if RAP was dying?
>>132098710turns out deluded chud posts on /mu/ don't dictate reality
>>132098710I don’t think the success of a genre’s top artists is indicative of the health of the genre as a whole. There are currently more rappers than we could ever want to listen to, even if the bubble hasn’t popped yet it will eventually.
>>132098847>even if the bubble hasn’t popped yet it will eventuallyfor months ive seen threads on here claiming rap was dead because the democrats were funding it. and showing charts proclaiming for the first time in 20yrs there are zero rap songs on the charts. kanye is hardly a top guy anymore though as hes been around for 20yrs
>>132098876its called being a legacy act you dolt
>>132098710Kanye is the biggest, and probably the best, rapper oat. If even I, someone that hates rap, have TCD among my top 20 albums, it isn't surprising he could get anyone remotely interested in it to attend >>132098847Is right
>>132098876>kanye is hardly a top guy anymore Yet has more monthly listeners than kendrick, 70m vs 68m.
kanye is almost 50 years old, its a sad state of affairs if that is your top guy, the rest of hip hops mainstream like kendrick, future, drake, are in their 40s.hip hops so called underground is just nothing but play boy carti and play boy carti clones who are too musically shit to ever cross over into the mainstream.kanye at this point is a legacy act coasting off old sounds.face the facts, its over
Rap has just entered the phase rock entered in like 10-15 years ago when it started to become dominated by legacy acts.
Rock has been dead for 15 years but that doesn't mean legacy acts aren't selling stadiums The same thing is happening to rap. Of course a well established artist of over 20 years is gonna sell out
There's always some degree of cultural inertia.These shows are set up just because the showbizz industry must put out something.And what could they feature? Especially for a certain kind of public. It's cheap for them to hire some rappers and they'll still find a public for it, because normies are creatures of inertia.
>>132098958>>132098973Rock is charting higher than rap right now with artists like olivia rodrigo and sleep token, I get that it's not good rock
>>132098990There's been a pop-punk revival and some y2k revival overall since 2020.That's why you see so many now "discovering" Linkin Park and various mid 00s bands.
>>132098990>artists like olivia rodrigo and sleep tokenrock won, but a what a price.
>>132098952>kanye is almost 50 years old, its a sad state of affairs if that is your top guyexactly. plus, rap concerts have to be the absolute dirt worst type of concert. especially ones so big. no way you can hear or understand any of the songs
>>132098952That's because the people paying to see Kanye are millennials.It's not new generations. Zoomers don't fw Kanye.So yeah it's a legacy act.
>>132098710>Rock is alive because Rolling Stones and Coldplay are selling out football stadiums
>>132098710I saw Chick Corea in a sold out 4 figure venue and yet jazz was still very much dead in 2013.
>>132098710Ye transcends genre.
>>132098990>Rock is charting higher than rap right now with artists like olivia rodrigo and sleep tokenolivia isnt even close to being rock
>>132099324Amazeballs, awesomesauce. That lil man is one of the only guys I am sorry I never got the chance to hear live.
>>132098710Ye is not rap it's fine art.
>coonye
Lol, when I first read fast I read "Thought RAP dying was possible?". It's funny because it would also be a pertinent and probably even more relevant question.
>>132098980>These shows are set up just because the showbizz industry must put out something.but kanye hasnt had a hit or put out anything interesting in years and he is the only rapper drawing record breaking 90,000 fans to these stadiums though
>>132102052I saw chick 3 times One Elektric Band one time solo at the Blue Note and one with Michael Brecker Eddie Gomez and Gary Burton. None really as good as his records except the Gary Burton duo stuff but it was at least music.
>>132098729thisthese niggas think their reddit algo is reality lol rap is still the biggest genre among teens and young adults that 1 nigga posting his my9albums on /r/Music with deftones in it doesnt represent general consensus
Country, the most cringe and burger music imaginable is popular lmao but hip-hop still absolutely mogs it
>>132098710Kanye is the greatest musician of all time. You can't judge a genre's success on one extreme outlier like him.
>>132099226Yeezus and TLOP was literally THE albums for zoomers wtf are you talking about
>>132098710BTS sells out stadiums and yet they have zero cultural relevance. What are you trying to say here
>>132098710I miss the mid-2010s rap scene so bad bros.
>>132105467It doesn't at all, most hip-hop is worse than most country, but are cliché slop, but one of them at least uses instruments and requires a small amount of songwriting talent.
>>132098710Are u retarded?
>>132109170Most songs of every genre are trash>>132109175NTA but probably
