This gradual divestment been apparent ... he's only allowed to engage in that same narrow range of nonsense he's critiquing in the first place

The way these topics gets externally framed on our behalf is wild n problematic .... people are getting encouraged to think were actually losing something


Then theres a whole nother dimension of the true purpose of commercial media, and what these shifts in priority intend to help manage... a topic which defo won't be allowed into the domain of public discourse

I did not view this as an attack on African Americans though. I thought it was just about rap but damn.

Told y’all a year and half ago Afro beats has now occupied the space R n B was occupying

 

[Stomp Johnson]

These days, the most refreshing sounding music I hear comes from SoundCloud anyway.

Labels ain't create hip hip music or hop hop culture. They just been the ones getting fattest off of it and robbing artists in the process. So fuck'em really. Black culture endures regardless.

What I miss?

 

[Disanthrope]

This is what we call tethering

Hip hop is playing out right?

So let's sign artists named Burna Boy...

and Whiz kid

from the AfroBeats genre...

Because again, hip hop ain't in no more

 

[Focal Point]

Rap will still exist, it just won't be the forefront anymore like other genres prior

 

[Sony Montana]

Hope y’all enjoyed that 50th birthday celebration

That was hip hop’s going away party

Ebro played a part in all this.

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

There will always be dope indie artists...

Rappers dont need big labels either, do people even listen to radio???

And TBH wouldnt it be better for hip hop to take a step back from the mainstream and get rid of some hypebeasts???

What I miss is good commercial 90s/00s type R&B, closest thing is Neo Soul...

 

[Shenco]

That’s cool. Hip hop will just go back underground to the basement

 

[Shenco]

Shoot afrobeats starting to get played out too. My girl and some of her friends was just talking about how afrobeats is starting to sound the same and feeling generic

 

[grYmes]

I mean I’m not mad if hip hop isn’t the top genre. That’s a big reason why the quality been down mainstream wise the last decade plus to begin with.

I’m not feeling Afro Beats like that outside of a few songs here and there.
