Do lyrics not matter in Hip-Hop anymore?

I was thinking about this the other day, It seems like people don't care what you say as long as you got dope beats and good visuals

"At the same damn time!!!"

no more evidence needed your honor...CASE CLOSED!!!

the percentages are disproportionate, thats the problem. sh!t like beat and "swag" and all that should matter no doubt, they always have mattered, but those things are about 95% of what matters right now, thats bad. at least let me get a 50/50 split between lyrics and all that other sh!t, at least.

Clearly not

 

[Bolzmark]

Yes and no. We gotta understand there is a lot of variety in hip hop now, and some acts and their fans care about lyrics, others dont give a sh!t.

Waka, Gucci, French Montana etc,and their fans - lyrics dont matter

Jay-Z, Nas, Jay Elec, Lupe, Common - still matters to them.

Listen to what you want.

If you like it, stfu
If you don't like it, stfu

Everybody likes different styles of hip-hop. Stop worrying about what the next man is listening too and be your own man.
