fascinating
>>74058622
truly
what do you think made it worse, the fact that it got really popular and everybody wanted to make money doing it? a lot of people combined with money tend to ruin most things.
>>74058729
beats became shittyier, lyrics, melody, names, album covers, topics, everything became utter shit
>>74058586
Metal fan here,
It only gets worse friend.
>>74058768
youre becoming like the old people who didnt like wutang nas and biggie back in the day. shit changes. deal with it old man
>>74058788
we stand together. I feel ya nigga feel ya.
>>74058805
no. I'm not blind by that. I've gave it a chance, its trash.
I don't think rap is getting worse, its just the bad shit is getting radio plays, whereas you need to look for the good shit most of the time.
>>74058968
I agree, a little.
>>74058805
23 years old here, it's trash. Most of it is adlibs and repetitive shit with autotune.
Don't get me wrong there is some good shit out there today, but it ain't on the surface.
you think that it might just be you not being able to acclimate to different. evolving sounds? That you're too lost in a comfortable packet of nostalgia where rap music presented as a certain set of images and sounds instead of constant progression through its form?
>>74059030
agreed. the problem started in the 200s. most rappers from the 90s were still around so they wore themselves out in that time. now their gone and have been replaced with trap faggots who drink cool aid and do that hair dye shit

It's why i personally dont consider trap to be hiphop, its closer to pop. Not to get too into genres, but hiphop is based on sending a message, telling a story that should be told. You don't see that in trap, all you hear is catchy beats and lyrics that are simple and easy to remember i.e a pop song.
>>74059204
sad to see a classic style of music flush down the shitter

Rappers used to worthless niggers growing up ghettos in absolutely shit conditions dealing with all kinds of shit fucking them up permanently and eventually reflecting on this wealth of fucked up life experiences.
Now rappers are worthless niggers who grow up in sheltered upper middle class lives no longer facing anything near what was in the past and still try to act as if their life was tough the same way. It's pretty obvious why the quality is lower.
>>74059243
exactly, anon
>>74059280
that's true shit. when we become pampered we lose all meaning to get up and do anything so what we work on becomes lazy bullshit.

>>74058586
only thing more embarrassing than being a rap fan is that you are still here in your 40s neck yourself oldfag
>>74058586
Oh I'm sorry that not every rapper today wears timbs and raps over dusty boom bap beats. It sure does suck to have experimentation in your genre so it grows and changes to reach a wider audience.
>>74058968
Thats most of music since at least the invention of the radio
>>74059913
doesn't mean it isn't fucking trash.
>>74059940
Please tell me how a rapper like Future is trash. Is it because he doesn't spit "muh intellectual spiritual lyrical miracle" bars all the time? Is having a good beat with good accompanying vocals such a sin?
>>74058586
>dusty geriatric can't have fun
sad
>>74058586
Are you sure you're a rap fan?
Rap appears in many different genres and time periods and there's always been shit and good rap I suppose.
You sounf more like an old school hiphop fan than anything
>>74059982
>good beat
>good accompanying vocals
are you ok?

>>74058768
The production is objectively better. Rakim's flow 30 years later is still more sophisticated than most but Eric B's beats are stuck in time. Album's like Paul's Botique, with brilliant people working in the background, still sound great but the atmosphere provided in contemporary hip hop blows it out of the water. The only reason modern rappers have gotten away with lazy lyrics is due to the producers propping them up.
>>74058586
Well that thing happens in every style.
I am fan of punk...
All you dadhoppers and lewronggeneration kids need to die already. It's because of people like you that hip hop gets held back every time it's trying to innovate.
>Critics want to mention that they miss when hip hop was rappin'
>Motherfucker, if you did, then Killer Mike'd be platinum
