What are you predicting the future of Hip Hop will be?

I think trap is going to either morph into its own whiter genre separate from hip hop or it's going to die out in the next 5 years and be replaced by minimalist post-trap stuff with a heavier emphasis on melody rather than rapping

We are in the proto punk phase - annoying, mindless testosterone fueled music dominates the charts (trap and hard rock) alongside cheesy pop (neo soul and AOR).

It'll literaly be dead in less than 5 years tops

Jake Paul type shit. Rich kid vloggers come in already with huge fanbases and labels love that because it's nice and safe. Jake Paul is the new face of hip-hop

its gonna continue being just as shit as it has always been

I think we're not going to be able to quote pinpoint what's gonna happen next, but I think someone's going to burst on to the scene in the next couple of years with a game changing style who knows what it'll be tho

Kanye West

>>74928648
he definetly did that for the 2000s but I don't think he's gonna do it again

>>74928445
Kanye will release a 3 hour post hip hop album then kill himself. The album will contain different combinations of genres with hip hop. This will save the genre by creating so many new categories of rap, expanding the lifespan of hip hop a good fifty years.

>>74928445
The future lies in the hands of Kanye West, he's the only person big enough in hip-hop to have an impact along with the only one who wants to experiment with the genre as a whole. As soon as Kanye drops TG16, a swarm of underground rappers will steal his style and we'll see a rap renaissance

>doubting Yeezy

This will be your undoing.

>>74928665
He changed the game two (debatably three) times.
What >>74928675
For being a new artist. He already has a legacy. And is still making music with every album being hyped to hell.

>>74928509
Didn’t this happen already???

>>74928513
We are in the pop punk phase actuallly transitioning to emo

>>74928693
he ain't shit

>>74928809
>he hasn't taken the yeezypill yet
what are you waiting for

>>74928875
nuclear war why?

>>74928789
for sure, uzi is scene af, trippie redd is emo, so is peep n tracy, gbc etc

>>74928533
People were saying this five years ago.

>>74928671
that would be insane. I want Yeezy to do his own version of the White Album (Beatles) and split himself into four separate entities and lock himself in a room deliberately focussing on various styles of hip hop and rap.

>>74928445
rap started in its punk phase. whats happenning right now is nu metal. in the next 10 years hip hop will die and be replaced by some other TBD genre while the lofi hip hop bullshit remains somewhat popular among indie teens obsessed with alternativity

>>74928985
>>74928533
I think rap still has a while left in the mainstream. As long as the popular artists stay fairly young it'll be popular among teenagers. You could tell rock was aging out when guys like Phil Collins were the popular artists and I think it's gonna be a while before we see that in hip hop

>>74928445
Hip hop is going to splinter a lot.
There'll be the X/Peep emo rap kids, there'll be a full-scale revival of 80's/90's gangster rap (west coast revival is already being planted), there'll be some really artsy post-rap, a lot more poppy influences will go into rap, and cloud rap will be a big thing. There's going to be a new big white rapper but he won't be emo. Emo rap will be dominated by white people though, and we'll look at it like we look at nu metal now. Waverap (chillwave beats and hip hop verses) will be big in the next 5 years, calling this rn.
