You just glossing over the fact I said it evolved ? Hip hop today should not sound like it did 20 years ago
It's trash by whose standards ? Our generation or this one ?
I can't see the future so I won't assume what an artist today will/will not do.
If you can that's great.
You shouldn't compare artists from this era to previous ones to begin with.
that's partly where they got y'all fukked up. Corporations defined it as youth culture. Aiming it at teens and tweens.
Hip hop was for anyone who fukked with it. You forget that college radio is one of the major things that built up hip hop. They weren't tweens. These were grown adults. Maybe not 40 andbut certainly not Drake demo.
Now it's Drake demo.
That was my father's era, and the first hip hop I ever heard was through my father.
Like I said, the 'age' argument is not rock solid. Y'all can't hide behind it anymore.
Define what you think Drake demo is .....
Get it through your head, every generation sh!ts on the next
You ever play ASAP Rocky and Lil B to your pops ? If you have...what did he think ?
If you haven't why not ?
I'm not deflecting so don't even go there. (These are just the artists you like presented to the previous gen)

You are not addressing the fact that older rappers are making music for people of a similar age. Yet it's still hip hop. So how is that youth culture again?

So ... you're telling me that Nas and the Roots for example are making flabby and sick music?
Not really, I feel the same way about rap and I'm in my 20s. I still listen to new shyt but rap ain't the same.
Dap and Rep - I don't think people watched it ..
We all have our cut off age where all new music sucks. I'm chuckling remembering a South Park episode about that ...
So ... you're telling me that Nas and the Roots for example are making flabby and sick music?
You think children who grow up on Drake, Thugga and Future won't think Nas is flabby n sick ?
I don't even like hearing Nas on modern 808 beats -AT ALL. Who exactly is he trying to connect with on this record ?

That's true for lot of people but honestly don't think I will ever get to that point. At least not any time soon. These days we are so connected in to the internet culture that is all about sharing new artists with each other. Like a month ago someone hooked me up with Summertime 06 by Vince Staples, a new artist I never heard of. That album had a very different sound and that shyt still clicked with me pretty fast.
I'm 27 now, so I ain't old yet, but at the same time I don't see why at 40 I'd stop wanting to hear new shyt. And I'm not special or anything, it's just I have the patience to give new music a shot, even if it's challenging to listen to at first.
Ok ... so kids won't like older rappers ...
Ok ...
So does that make what older rappers are doing less innovative or less hip hop?
To say hip hop is youth culture is crazy ....
Rock was youth culture
R& B was youth culture
You do realize that Jazz was youth culture
Swing was youth culture
Big Band was youth culture
Reggae was youth culture
Hip hop ....
has now been replaced by EDM as youth culture ... sorry ...
Hip hop is too old for it to be only for youth
I feel the exact same way. I'll be 97 still looking for what's new out there ...

How are you going to innovative when kids are at the frontier of new sounds and technology ?
Did you really just ask this ?
Says you ...
Just one of many examples of why this is a bad generalization ...
