why rap/hip-hop is such trash now, compared to mid 90's/early 00's?
>repetitive as fuck
>simplified to the point of rhyming nigga with nigga
>shitty overhyped trap beats
>all these autotune "rappers" sounding the same
>lyrics making no sense
I just want boombap to return...
>>64065676
delete this thread
>>64065676
because this generation is turning out to possess woefully low standards
>>64065676
Nice post hopsin
>>64065676
i blame future
>>64065684
suck my big fat cock
Boombap was lame as fuck, limits your creativity.
>>64065688
hopsin is meh but he got a good point about trap music, can't deny it
>>64065701
how, motherfucker? how is boombap worse than this trap bullshit? boombap rappers all sounded different, had their own flow and style that you could recognize right away, trap rappers all flow the same and I can't really tell the difference unless I see them, homogenous bullshit
>>64065711
Kinda ruined because his trap song is his best song
>>64065743
no, it's his catchiest song... there's difference between good and catchy, nigga... hopsin isn't that great overall by at least he tries to push some message with his music, not the I got stacks, I well drugs bullshit
>>64065779
There's nothing wrong with what other trap artists do. They write about their life, they right what they live and know. Have you ever heard Trap Niggas by Future? It's one of the realest trap songs.
>>64065917
The fetty freestyle was better :^)
>>64065676
OP, i'm looking forward to your sci fi novel, A World Without Kanye West. Chilling.
I miss rap albums like this
>>64065917
>implying future still sells bricks
I like trap shit too but it's oversaturated as hell
>>64065676
I swear that song has the same beat as Big Rings by Drake and Future. I only know this because it's the song they always play before basketball games at my uni
>>64065959
But there was a point in time when he did, He raps about what he knows, know he raps about shit like "Where ya at"
>>64065676
Hip-hop was always trash tho famu.
>*GOOD* RAP, DETROIT

Yeah but he releases like ten albums a day with the same content on all of them.
It's tired dude.
>>64065688
DID
>>64065948
kanye can suck bruce's cock while kim fingers his asshole, I bet faggot would record it and try seeking as avantgarde art
>>64065917
nothing wrong except they're not original, they all sound the same, this nigga designer people legit thought it was future, all these chief keef and migos and other fucktards literally sound like courage the cowardly dog trying to explain some shit, do they even use legit words? most of the time it's unintelligible gibberish
>>64065676
It's only good for shitty party music or stuff to put on in the background, I don't think anyone takes trap seriously as a quality music genre except for the most contrarian /mu/tants
>>64065688
>>64065688
>>64065743
nice fantano opinion, fag
>>64065676
The thing is, you're only remembering the stuff from the 90s and early 00s that was good enough to stick in people's minds and comparing that to everything that's popular today
Every era of music has some absolute shite but that doesn't mean there's nothing good in hip hop rn
That being said, 2016 has been a fucking awful year for hip hop so far
>>64065917
I honestly haven't listened to rap except for a few albums from established acts Hip Hop's become so stagnant. After Kendrick Lamar last year there were like three rap albums I listened to, I had to start expanding through older rock and Jazz there was so little meat on the bone. I was really hoping Kendrick ended the Trap wave but after Kanye's new album I think it's here to stay.
>>64066355
>>64066367
Are you white? I know about ten people IRL that like Hopsin, they're all white. Starting to think it's a trend.
>>64066419
>claims all current hip-hop is shit
>hasn't listened to current hip-hop
good1
>>64066401
that's my exact point bruh, every single rapper sounds like the last one and still gains popularity, like what the fuck? I know there's tons of good rap out there, but fucks sake why only shit tier gets pushed to the mainstream? it wasn't supposed to be like that...
>>64066437
I don't need to suffer through a full album to call rap shit. I only say I've listened to an album if I make through the entire ordeal, most albums recently turn me off within the first two songs.
So when I say I've lsitened to three albums, I mean, I've only made it through three albums and listened to them again, and enjoyed them. I listened to quite a wide range of hip hop last year and everyone has fallen off. There's no more competition, no more drive among artists, and when Drake had one of the strongest albums among the mainstream something is terribly wrong.
Pete Rock and CL Smooth are allegedly working on comeback album, Ghostface and MF Doom work on album, Action Bronson, Joey Badass, Slaughterhouse (and solo projects from these guys), feels good to know real hip hop is still alive, feels bad mainstream hip hop is such trash... kids won't grow up on Masta Ace's long hot summer...
>>64066437
Nigga Kendrick put out B-sides and made three Hiroshimas on every other rapper's material. No one can beat a fucking EP man! No one can dent a fucking B side album, seriously?You honestly can't defend trap when every song sounds like Future or Ferg made it bruh.
>>64066489
Ghoststarks has been being teased for almost half a decade
Pete and Smooth is just going to be retreds of what they've already done
Getting hyped for Action Bronson? Really?
I'm not white enough to enjoy Slaughterhouse
I'm skeptical that Joey will ever match his debut.
>>64066492
so much this, trap is now even more homogenous than pop or edm, there's no substance in this bullshit genre
>>64065949
a. samefag, b. how old were you when that album came out?
>>64066431
i don't like hopsin, that's why i'm posting those gifs. are you retarded? can you post a pic of your face because a black downy is a rare sight (for me)
>>64066529
Not that anon but I was four when that came out, Dec 1993.
>>64066553
Sorry m8, white here, not on your layer of irony
>>64066518
>Ghoststarks has been being teased for almost half a decade
I want to believe they'll deliver after hearing BBNG x Ghostface
>Pete and Smooth is just going to be retreds of what they've already done
maybe, maybe not
>Getting hyped for Action Bronson? Really?
I like his bullshit approach to lyrics, works surprisingly well as background noise
>I'm not white enough to enjoy Slaughterhouse
pointless sentence, lots of blacks listen to them
>I'm skeptical that Joey will ever match his debut
try looking at it positively, even if he won't match the debut, it's still gonna be better than majority of today's rappers
>>64066602
I'm just not as optimistic as you I guess. Post-Kanye I just don't know what to believe in anymore.
>>64066661
kanye went downhill after college dropout, stopped paying attention to him after 808's, still respect him as producer but as rapper he's just wack...
>>64066691
Iunno, Graduation I thought he was slipping, MBDTF brought me back on, then Yeezus, THEN TLOP. LAte Registration is what got me into Hip Hop, it's just kind of sad he's doing this to himself and that I don't have any of the same respect I used to have.
>>64066691
Kanye is such a shit rapper, even though I like his first two records and a couple of songs that came after. Sometimes I just cannot stand the timbre of his voice, it's so nasally and his flows are often reeeally simplistic. Even some of his production has started to suffer, TLOP has some fucking dreadful clipping issues along with some off key singing.
>>64065676
He's got a point though. It really does look a lot like a panda.
>>64066769
who gives a fuck when the song is trash?
>>64066769
THAT'S WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT? IT'S ABOUT A CAR?
>>64066746
I think I don't mind his flow because I lived in Chicago, it just sounds like people from a round here. Now live in Southern Illinois and that's jsut Chicago Accent mixed with a Tennessean.
>>64066746
yes his fucking annoying voice... never before had an urge to stab someone with rusty screwdriver just because of their voice
>>64066786
It's not really about anything. The lyrics are literally just:
>Huhuhuh tony montana
>Hey my car kind of looks like a panda >Huhuhuhuh. Panda.
>Panda panda panda
>>64066858
it's total bullshit and people still fucking like it, and legit think it's a good song, where the fuck did this planet go wrong?
>>64065676
There are still a lot of decent to great albums released every year but they don't sell well and don't get talked about much, especially not on bad music boards like /mu/. Also the old elite did it to themselves by releasing a lot of lackluster shit (most rapppers from back in the day have fallen off hard, and you know it) and by following every stupid trend instead of doing their own thing. But I somewhat agree; mainstream rap has never been worse than today.
>>64066885
The most reddit tier comment possible
early and mid 2000's was pretty garbage for rap desu
>>64067493
some of the early 00's was really terrible, and it went to shitter from there, personally I blame southern rap emergence for all this bullshit
>>64067445
oh you gonna cry now? he's right, trap is terrible and people are fucking dumber each and every year, kill yourself
>>64067445
wow, you sure proved him wrong.
>>64066885
I bet you don't got a whip to bump it in senpai.
>>64067883
I bet you're one of those retards who still thinks drinking lean and smoking weed is cool thing to talk about...
>>64066885
it has catchy beat
>>64068443
and that's all this song have to offer mate...
>>64068649
yep. what's the problem?
>>64068672
that this beat sucks balls, it's so generic that I feel like I heard it million times before
trap isn't so bad, it can be repetitive but it still sounds better than kpop and than most new edm shit
>>64065676
Biggie Smalls was rhyming nigga with nigga back in the 90's too senpai
>ITT
le born in the wrong generation fags and lyric fags
Everything about hip-hop is better now than before except maybe the lyrical content
>>64068742
but his mumbling adds another dimension to it. i don't know where you've heard it but it doesn't sound that generic 2 me
>>64068786
>except maybe the lyrical content
which is a big part of hip hop
>>64068801
But it doesnt have to be.
>>64065676
00's hip hop was absolute trash and a slump in creativity and quality of hip hop
modern hip hop is seeing plenty of experimentation in terms of production and going back to the roots of making bangers and bringing the fun factor to it
00's hip hop tried so hard to be high-brow it turned into shit
>>64068801
that's why it's not hip hop
>>64068820
What is instrumental hip hop?
>>64068786
the moment hip hop stops being lyrical, it's no longer hip hop you faggot... I grew up listening to public enemy, wu-tang, nas, brand nubian, heltah skeltah, 2pac, slick rick, outkast and so on in my teenage years so it seems like I was born just in time but current generations wrecked all the good things about hip hop, so go get bent faggot
>>64068831
not this trash for sure, even heard of dj shadow? alchemist?
>>64068878
Lol you're so mad because you're too insecure to enjoy it. Its so good you're thinking about it now. Why can't you just free your mind and laugh at it and then accept it as art and think about what it's trying to convey. Or just listen to something you like. Like a normal person. There's plenty of boom bap shit getting pumped out.
>>64068899
Alchemist lol. He can't compete with hip hop gods like metroboomin
There's plenty of modern rap that's better than anything the 90's and early 00's produced and you're a fucking idiot for even making this thread. If you want to listen to good music you'll find it instead of complaining about the stuff you don't like you fucking cuck
>>64069053
metroboomin is overrated, good for him that public accepts mediocre and overused sounds, otherwise he would be nobody.
>>64065917
>Trap Niggas by Future
case closed
>>64069073
yeah. sure. like what
I can't wait till trap fades the fuck away and all you faggots jump on bandwagon for any and every new sound that will come after that lel
There's so much damn quantity now, it's a joke
>>64069053
but metro boomer makes trap shit, how can this even be compared to real gods like dj premier or even just blaze?
>>64069125
Is there something wrong with liking a new sound? Are trap fans having too much fun for you to handle?
>>64065676
Mainstream rap has been shit since the 2000s, underground rap has always been where it's at.
Also,
>simplified to the point of rhyming nigga with nigga
It's called internal rhyme you fucking faggot ass white boy.
>>64069170
good for you, unfortunately the moment "new" genre sounds repetitive, it gets stale (trap got to that point about 2 years ago lel)
>>64068899
>premise: hey I like hip hop
>premise: I don't like this music
>conclusion: this music isn't hip-hop
wew negroid go to school
>>64065917
Except most of them lie and exaggerate in their music all for the sake of chasing a hit.
>>64068786
this
>>64069236
niggas originated that hip hop shit you white boy bitchass
>>64069237
lel, this
>fantasy: I was a stuntman back in the day
>truth: I was walking up the stairs and slipped, breaking my arm in the process
>>64069256
I'm asian
>>64069287
well then, gook bitchass fuckboi
>>64066746
>>64066828
>waaaah i don't like le scary black man voice ;_;
>>64068878
>2pac
wow so lyrical
>>64069324
>kanye
>scary voice
sure thing sweetheart :^)
>>64069336
better than 80%of today mainstream rappers, faggot
>>64066858
>>64066885
Actually read the lyrics and you'll realize that it's actually pretty good for a trap song.
>>64069363
>I got broads in atlanta, my car looks like a panda
nigga you serious or trolling?
>>64069356
the unbearable whiteness of dadrap
>>64069416
>Choppa go Oscar for Grammy
>He'll use his gun to shoot for a record deal
>Basically a clever way of saying he'll kill anyone who gets in the way of his career or success
That's the only good line though.
Still better than anything Future said.
ITT: Uninformed contrarian statements and people who have literally listened to three hip-hop songs
>>64069324
>he thinks Kanye is in any way a challenging artist
The real laughing stock here is you.
>>64069609
Apparently he is for you, which is saying something. Stick to your pop vocals pleb.
>>64065676
I said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
the rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
lmao old school hiphop is the peak of quality :^)
>>64068816
lol early 2000s hiphop was a meme. it birthed Crank Dat and Ridin Dirty for fucks sake. as much as i like all hiphop eras those 2 songs were the normie-est and plebbiest songs that even suburban white preteens sing to it while inside their mom's minivan as they browse memecenter
>>64069638
>bad music=experimental and avant garde
Anyone can sing or rap badly, doesn't make it good.
This is the best Hip Hop album of this century and you can't prove me wrong.
>>64069757
>outkast - ms jackson
>erykah badu - love of my life
>ludacris - stand up (OK this one is stretch but still)
>50cent - in da club
there was some shit tier in 2000's but it wasn't that bad
>>64069893
in your own imaginary world maybe... anything kanye did after college dropout was meme tier shit, deal with it
>>64069915
Ludacris is fucking trash holy shit, worst thing of the 2000's by far.
>>64069929
Can....you...type...anything...without...an...ellipsis...?
Also calling something a meme may be valid criticism in your own imaginary world but that's not how it works in real life, anon.
>>64069968

>I can't prove my point so I'll shitpost muh anime waifu that I fap to on daily basis
check mate weeb atheists :^)
honestly i can understand people calling out fags who go "music was better 30 years ago, praise queen best band, metal etc." but denying so is pretty dumb.
you need to be "low" to get as much audience as possible, because the simpler it is, even more people can enjoy it. that's kind of the concept behind pop(ular) music and rap.
>>64070187
>I can use my shitposting face to counteract his shitposting
I just pissed all over the chessboard faggot ;^)
>>64070187
you sound kinda insecure mate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4Co_H50hUw
kek
also what's with rappers releasing albums with 15+ tracks on them now, Ferg is doing it, Royce's album is 17 tracks, shits bloated and just pushes the whole idea of playlist rap further.
>>64067544
You're actually kinda fuckin right, once rocafella era ended and lil jon & The east side boys came out, shit just went SOUTH. Gucci and jeezy all of that shit was ARSE only good thing was cats like 36 mafia & pimp C getting bigger exposure. Fuck
>>64070501
if you think about it, holy shit...
