Rap About Nothing: Hip Hop Chat Thread

This whole era was magical man. How fast **** changed from 08-10 and that post A Milli/post Wayne type rapper/song then 10-12 the blog and Karmaloop era lol and then 13-15 was when Atlanta trap became the dominant zeitgeist of the game. It was crazy that we didn't realize how fast **** was moving and each year I feel **** kinda moves exponentially faster.

As I type this I think the rap game does actually move in two year phases and one artist/song/moment shifts the tides.

So where have we come since 16-18 and where is **** going for 18-20...

I sense a lot more tisakorean/blueface type artists where everyone is completely with their own style good or bad hopefully...post-Lil B rap game...eccentricity and HOW you do your **** will replace the traditional idea of lyricism and having to bar *****s up.

It always has. Forgot what I was listening to. Maybe was Drink Champs with DJ Marley Mal or Big Daddy Kane...but one of them explained this to a tee. Rap actually might’ve moved faster in the mid to late 80s to early 90s. They were mentioning how the sound changed in 2-3 year increments and some legends couldn’t keep up.

I know it's just me but I'm tired of seeing this ***** with the ukulele playing with every up and coming rapper now

Yeah it's just you I'm ready for homie to do a DJ Khaled style album.

As a matter of fact I'm fine with him becoming DJ Khaled's replacement musically (Sorry Khaled but them annual bubblegum pop headphone and vape commercials you been putting out since the Snapchat rebrand ain't it).

damn that sounds interesting and kinda true I actually would wanna watch that if you ever come across the vid and timestamp again

with the internet people fall for the same tricks for longer (post-Thug/post-Future/post-Migos artists flourishing) but once someone new gets visibility it becomes the new default wave fast as hell

example: how fast Atlanta/Mason Dixon generic hood ***** styled guitar beats made it to a label experiment like Tekashi because of Drip Too Hard

Rap and urban culture needs like an ESPN or some **** where ****** can break this **** down lol

That's not hard to fathom because hip hop was fairly new and there was a lot of room for creativity. Also why it's the golden era. Sometimes the first to do it are the best because they did it first. Unlike Rock, I don't see hip hop slowing down NO time soon because more than any other genre, we blend all sorts of different genres well.

It's apocalyptic (post instruments) music and it's only getting crazier because of computers.

Look at that roster. Too much talent

Unless Big Sean come back with a Detroit 2.0 style project, it's a wra for him. I'm calling it now

 

[Peep Game]

What a rollout for Offset's album

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

 

[|A-Man|]

hope he uses the pseudonym as a reason to go full alternate universe and do a trap influenced project

It's that's Edward alter ego from KOD so doubt it'll have that trap sound.

 

[Figured it out]

Get yo woman back Offset

Man I been waiting on the hood videographer buffies everywhere he go fast 190-200 bpm Detroit trap beat rebrand for Sean for the longest. He won't be done probably just quietly move into acting like Luda.

It's well known that Gucci fathered A LOT of these dudes. Gucci literally the reason I heard half of these *****s.

Gucci the most influential person in hip hop in the last decade

Found it

0:54 seconds



I wish Kanye kept the dudes he really collaborated with a lot (Dwele, Tony Williams, Rhymefest, Cons, etc. whoever else was really around for the 04-07 Glory Days) around as his "circle" like how Ross or even Drake seems to keep dudes around. or how P, Gucci, Ross hella tight. Dude prolly wouldnt have been tripping.

I really don't want to believe that what's going on is a publicity stunt. But with Cardi explaining herself too much and the fact that there's no way this ***** should've been allowed to interrupt her set is what's making me think its for pub as well.

 

[6pac]

"Bradley" rapping now too.

****** are so creative man like huh? Lmao.

First thing I said too. What if this was like Chris Brown and Rihanna...how y'all just let anyone waltz on out there lmao

Knowing Set and them tho Mango Foo would have shooting star pressed any security that tried to thwart that man's dastardly plan

 

[|A-Man|]

You know how much planning he'd have to do if that wasn't staged?

I mean that was a damn cake right?
