Hip Hop Scene, an inactive volcano?

>inactive volcano

more like a volcano that erupted twenty years ago, and that hot lava is slowly cooling down. Hip-Hop is at it's highest popularity. The only way is down.

You should listen to grime.

I think it also depends on where you live and how connected to the scene you are. There are scenes in L.A., Chicago, Florida and Tennessee that seem really big. When artists you respect who are from your area/coast drop albums that get relatively successful, then to your area/scene/coast, it's blowing up.

Unless you've written out and measured specific criteria to determine whether or not something has blown up, then it's all relative. Not trying to knock your judgment, man. I think it's still legitimate and just as exciting to see it when you see it happen.

yea, grime has been very consistent for a long time

Personally i think rap has hit its peak, the teens was really the decade of rap and pop.
I was thinking that raps adoption of autotune, mumbling, and singing, while innovative for rap, but was the death of the rapper.
Why do we need rappers anymore?
Not even rappers want to be rappers.
I also think that rap has hit its end game, nowhere to go from here but backwards.
Rap is going to get stale, get replaced by EDM.
By the way i predict EDM will evolve from being just party music, get some depth, turn into IDM maybe. EDM seems at a cross roads anyways, needs to evolve, all the bro dudes arent even that into it anymore.
Needs to expand beyond the festivals and into living rooms

hip hop is dead
for a while now

yea im suprised you mentioned Stone Rose and YC, they are really only known through word of mouth. and Stone dont really fit this category bc he rides the mainstream cultures dick.

a lot of these rappers have like zero internet presence because they are so stuck in the 90s erra.

nah hip hop is eternal senpai like the jesus of music.

-wordless music is like Buddhist
-singin music is Jewish
-rock is like Satanism (haha no seriously)

-and rap, the music of the word is like christianity spoken by an eternal jesus.

its like a staple trope of audio expression. not just a genre

Jazz is not mainstream anymore you dumb cunt. Also, Jazz Fusion took over Jazz. Jazz without electrical instruments hasn't been a thing since the mid 60s

Kanyes new album will totally change and influence the genre, and will be labeled the best hiphop album of all time.
