My realization on todays generation of rappers

[Straw Hat Luffy]

I been trying to figure out why the older brehs always talk shyt about todays rappers.
I flipped through about 25 recent Worldstar hip hop videos and it hit me.
None of these rappers are actually rappers. They are all rapping just to rap. There is no respect for the genre, there is no mastering the skill, and most of these rappers don't understand music in general.

Breh's literally got face tattoos, colored hair, and making songs and videos just because.

Every video is the same-- guns, breh's crew, women, everyone got money

Every song is the same-- about nothing

Brehs got no purpose, concept, format, or any thought about anything.

These rappers will name a song Lebron James and then say nothing besides all the drugs they did. Like what that got to do with Lebron? This the equivalent of Ice Cube not telling us why his day was a good day.



story short: There is no purpose from these kids-- no message, no creativity, no originality. Which is why XXXtentacion was the only rapper from todays generation who legit had a cult following. He was the only one trying to be different with actually having a message in his album, which was help people through depression. And the few music videos that he was in were all different.

That J Cole song for Lil Pump really gonna be the anthem of reality for 90 percent of todays rappers.

You old heads were right

That’s where you’re wrong .

These kids are free to do what they want from melody, beats, clothes, etc and I love it

Its a hustle now.


nikkas just tryna get the bag and be out....


I work with artists and thats usually the game plan..... Build a brand... Cash out.... Transition to something else more profitable and stable.

Hip hop fans dont respect the culture so why should artists? Get the money.

They are free but only few know how to use it.

Nah majority of them are original and creative to set themselves apart from the pack.

Originality is what’s deiving these younger cats and that’s worth celebrating.

Let me play devil's advocate for a minute than, i guess.

So for this entire argument, you're using one source which is wshh knowing what type of content and demographic they cater to not to mention you admit to only going through 25 songs on there alone and now you painting this entire generation with a broad brush. You could've just as easily looked up woke playlist on different platforms and streaming sites if you want your entertainers to be your role model and activist.

None of these rappers are actually rappers. They are all rapping just to rap. There is no respect for the genre, there is no mastering the skill, and most of these rappers don't understand music in general.

It's been like that for a while where you had studio rappers trying to make rap hits as a way to get paid rather than the love of the craft nothing new from this generation.

Breh's literally got face tattoos, colored hair, and making songs and videos just because.

Every video is the same-- guns, breh's crew, women, everyone got money

Brehs got no purpose, concept, format, or any thought about anything.

You could mimalize and cherry pick anything like this for example
80's rap
Every music video box haircuts, break dancing, colorful outfits, and fake oversize gold jewelry.
Every song samples another older song, drum breaks, unnecessary dj scratching and sound effects.

story short: There is no purpose from these kids-- no message, no creativity, no originality. Which is why XXXtentacion was the only rapper from todays generation who legit had a cult following. He was the only one trying to be different with actually having a message in his album, which was help people through depression. And the few music videos that he was in were all different.

lmao I feel like this was really the whole point of this thread to sneak in XXX worship. X wasn't even all that original he sounded like every other rapper under that cloud rap sub genre. Ya'll don't support artists like Bishop Nehru who has all the characteristics old heads say they are looking for in young rappers. Did a whole album with doom, just focus on trap rappers than try to say all rappers now are the same fukk outta here.
