Yeah! was the beginning of the end; this actually slowed it down because it made iTunes a legitimate marketplace and postponed the development of cheap streaming services.

Wasn't this their second album?

>>70008780

I thought this was rappers who peaked to early thread

>>70008731
This and songs like "Chain Hang Low" or "Ms. New Booty" were part of the transition, but neither was nearly as successful as "Crank Dat".

I have a theory that ties into this that I posted like two months ago; I'll post it again.

Now that I think about it, I'm surprised no one's done a vaporwave-esque deconstruction of late-2000s rap/pop music, or is it still too soon?

Way too soon. With trap and house still on the pop stations it can't be post-ironic yet.

Not necessarily trap, there's a specific sound that the ratchet turn-up music of 2007 to about 2012 had, before literally all pop became trap-influenced. Stuff like Flo Rida's "Sugar", Soulja Boy's "Kiss Me Thru the Phone", whoever did "Promiscuous", "Sexyback" come to mind. It's hard to nail down but it had a very distinct sound. Trying to pin down exactly what it was so that I can be on the cutting edge of autistic cringe vaporshit

>original theory when asked "What happened to popular music in the early '10s?"
Top 40 radio stopped playing hip-hop. That's all there is to it. Am I really surrounded by a bunch of faggots who are too young to remember hit radio from the mid-'00s and note the drastic change after 2010?

"Tik Tok" almost single-handedly killed '00s urban, such as Kanye, T-Pain, Chris Brown, the Black Eyed Peas, etc. by ushering in EDM to the radio. It wasn't the Hot 100 AND AT40 year-end number one for no reason. It made the lyrics and rhythm irrelevant and proved you only needed a hard electro beat and autotune to drive a track to number one. Taio Cruz assisted with "Dynamite", which laid the foundation for the conventional pop of the '10s.

2011 saw "Party Rock Anthem", "Like a G6", "Give Me Everything", "E.T", and "We Found Love" hit number one on the Hot 100. Kesha, Pitbull, LMFAO, and the like became more profitable than artists like Chris Brown and T-Pain. Mid-'00s stalwarts like Rihanna and Maroon 5 drastically changed their sound to adapt to the new era of pop. Finally, whatever "alternative" music that made the radio before, like Owl City and Plain White T's, were replaced by the sound Adele installed with "Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You", and the rest of 21.

>how this plays into this thread
The only artists that could make it through were artists like GS Boys ("Booty Dew", "Stanky Leg"), Cali Swag District ("Teach Me How to Dougie"), Rejectz ("Cat Daddy"), New Boyz ("You're a Jerk", "Tie Me Down"), and of course Soulja Boy ("Crank That", "Kiss Me thru the Phone"), because their lyrics were either easy to censor or hard to understand in the first place, giving them massive amounts of airplay. As the '00s style of urban music declined in the late '00s/early '10s and modern trap started to take over the genre, it naturally merged with the low-intelligence rap to maximize profits.

So you wanna make something like Bones? I know one of his songs used an early 2000s dance beat.

Changed my whole perspective on the tik tok thing. Never really looked at it as "kicking other genres out". From how I remember hip hop and edm-pop coexisted, but now that I look back at it youre totally right.

>Actual well explained post on /mu/

>>70009006
Heavy autotune and EDM-based production, ratchet female vocals, lyrics about partying (instead of trap shit), a lot of it still used 808s but not for trap beats, for more high-energy stuff.

That is interesting though, I don't know if vaporwave is still on 80s stuff and the 90s didn't have as distinct of a sound to their pop music, so I wonder if they ever will start pastiching 2000s pop

What the fuck I hate time now.

the fact that he self-produced his first album and got huge with it is pretty inspiring to me desu

>>70009158
Vaporwave has become "hardvapour" which is just shitty soundcloudcore synthwave that mostly forgoes sampling.
Post-internet music was always a temporary thing, because there's nowhere for it to really go.

>>70008645
Idk, I think ringtone rap had to happen. Hip-hop had sort of exhausted itself and gotten stale around that time. Guys were coming out with slightly new sounds, but everyone in the mainstream was still approaching things the same way. Ringtone rap was a complete rejection of almost everything the genre was about, and I think it had to happen for the genre to evolve.

>tfw you finally realize the massive impact Ke$ha had on music
Not even gonna lie, some of her tunes still hold up pretty well.

Where did all this hate for Injury Reserve start coming from? It used to be they would get brought up every now and again and people were mostly positive about them but I've seen them posted way more lately and almost always negatively.
