Fans are turning on rap. This young generation is more into conscious shyt now.

[Formerly Black Trash]

Even that is being overblown. Pill usage in general is way down. Even alcohol use among younger kids is way down. Concerts and raves are losing a shyt load of money right now because of it. It's mainly people in their 20's and 30's still Poppin pills and coke.

The teens and younger 20's crowd are heavy into shrooms and psychedelics now. They're all about self enlightenment and leading a healthy lifestyle. There's shift going on culturally. That's why you will see a rap song from the 90's blow up on the billboard charts out of nowhere. Because some random tik toker made a meme out of it. These young kids are looking for substance now. They wanna feel connected to the artists they listen to. Similar to how people felt listening to Wu. Or tribe. Or de la. And that's just not a feeling they get listening to these drill rappers. That's why other genres have overtaken rap on the charts. The masses are burned out on rap music.

This all sounds like bs you made up

You’re too grown to Coli clout Chase

[jadillac]

Things change.

I haven’t heard anyone blast music out of their car for me to recognize since the summer of 1996

You don't consider his last album "conscious rap"?

Not really. Dude is just emotional. Maybe it is but I won't nitpick. He talks real shyt. It's real rap. It's about as conscious as an Eminem or Drake album.

However, it's certainly not a Lupe album.

the funniest thing about these old head rap conversations is that there's literally no rap subgenre that you can't find still going on these days. this is one of my fav songs this year, and it does pretty good on radio

 

[Hey_zeus]

If only this were true. It'd be for the best

 

[GoFlipAPack]

I don't like rap music these days

Me either. Never thought I'd outgrow it but these new nikkas trash. I don't care about your jewelry, cars, how much drugs you sold or how many opps you've killed. Shyts trash and not entertaining at all.

What your criteria for conscious rap?

 

[Software]

Some of yall act like Rap doesn't have different sub genres.

It's real when I hear someone say they just hate rap.
There's an artist out there spitting verses about subject matter you care about you just gotta find em.

 

[Lonj]

Modern mainstream rap speaks to current low vibrational state much of the world is in right now. In other words, it's popularity may dip but for the time being it ain't going nowhere.

What your criteria for conscious rap?

I don't have a checklist lol but conscious rap is pretty political and is a lot of direct societal commentary and criticism.

Isn't that basically the basis of Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers? I would think I would think To Pimp a Butterfly & good kid, mAAd city would fall into that, also.
