I'm guessing you weren't around when it released because there were a TON of copycats

Modern Vampires of the City

Any hip-hop album that got hyped up during its release. Hip-hop is as ephemeral and shallow as a genre of music can get, it's music designed to be sold to ghetto niggers with sub-80 IQ's, don't forget that.

and what last impacting did that have?
yeah none
my point still stands

The opposite actually.
Hip Hop is probably the only genre around that's evolving.

putting different coats of paint on a turd doesn't change the fact that it's just a painted turd

A moon shaped pool
Hardwired to self destruct

you know popular genres come and go in phases right? it's kind of a natural thing. MPP was hugely influential for psych pop and there are still records biting ideas from it. just because it's no longer one of the dominant musical genres in 2017 doesn't mean that MPP isn't still impacting musicians. go listen to Planetarium by Sufjan or Currents by Tame Impala if you think people aren't still taking inspiration from MPP.

Sure let's go with that. Even in its "evolution" hip-hop is still music designed to appeal to braindead ghetto niggers that think being a gangster is something to aspire to. There's a reason why any time a hip-hop fan hypes up their music they use coon slang like "It's lit" or "bumps in the whip" because that's all that hip-hop aspires to be. It's vapid party music, it's modern equivalent to disco and glam metal except hip-hop takes itself 10 times as seriously as those genres ever did. Wanna know why all Pitchfork ever talks about when they review a hip-hop album is how [insert album] is some uplifting social anthem for the black community? Because that's all there is to talk about in a given hip-hop record. It's bereft of any musicality or artistry, stringing together a 1000 word sociology essay on how hip-hop is good because it serves as an outlet for urban black aggression is the only thing a pseud could do to try and defend it, any attempts at further scrutinizing the genre won't uncover anything of worth. Even the "woke" artists that /mu/ loves to go on about aren't anything profound. "Cops be killin niggaz yo" "Capitalism is greed yo" "Word up Republicans are racist yo" "fuck whitey they made us slaves yo". It's dull sociology 101 with coon speak strung between words to make it more relatable to urban street trash. Hip-hop is nigger shit through and through, nothing of value will ever come out of that worthless genre.

and I thought people would be tolerant of all kinds of music on a music discussion board. I will never understand people like you who feel the need to write off entire genres and assert that nothing of worth has ever come out of them. I got over that by the time I was like 16.

hardwired to self destruct had the opposite of hype. As soon as it was announced everyone was like "oh god, they're making ANOTHER fucking metallica album?"

/mu/ is not everyone.
People waited for that album for many years.
