This single tweet encapsulates everything wrong with mainstream hip hop these days

[trillanova]

White people are always going to have the viewpoint that they're thinking something new when they aren't. They have the platforms and the status to make their point brand new and shiny. It's just apart of the game/system. We're going to keep rocking and making fly shyt...it's what we do. They'll catch on and try to co-opt it somehow. It's their nature. I no longer try to fight it...I take pleasure in the fact that we're connected to something greater that allows us to continue to stay fresh and ahead of the curve infinitely. There's just nothing better in the grand scheme of things.

How great the other genres "also" are?

I love Hip Hop and would consider myself made of some percentage of Hip Hop..

But our genre is hardly worthy of claiming superiority to others. First of all.. I can't even stand damn near half of it. Haven't purposefully listened to new music in a couple decades.

Secondly, the stuff that IS dope to me, a lot of it is sampled from other genres. No way to claim superiority if you literally need the other thing to make your thing.

What happens is you grow the fukc up and you realize that most pop rap is garbage. The you pivot to other things.

In the case of a culture vulture who truly loves rock and roll anyway: I don't know how to interpret it.

The above is for someone who is from the culture who grew up on it.

I get it I don't mean to de-rail...just saying there is a lot of alternatives to mainstream shyt.....and some of our own posters and creating some dope shyt to satisfy the demand from folk like yourself smell me

This needs to be stickied and tagged as Essential. I made this 2 years ago to change the bad energy in the Booth

The Hip Hop Is Alive Thread: quality music and talented artists in this era

The Hip Hop Is Alive Thread This is a space where listeners young and old can put each other on to great music and talented artists in hip hop today. If it's conscious, music to smoke to, melodic, or whatever else, nothing is off limits in here I'll post newly released songs and albums...

Some mainstream music is good. Tyler is mainstream but The Estate Sale was dope

It's just the most popular, top selling rap music tends to be either violence, female promiscuity "empowerment", men being promiscuous like its a badge of honor, drug related, money and material flaunting, or just shallow menial shyt. It's fast food music

And it's the music that cacs glorify and sing praises about. I seen a list where some cac editor put Whole Lotta Red by Carti over Common's Be. That is the shyt I'm talking about. And that cac is no different than the one with the OP tweet

I got negs in here for telling the truth. Hip hop as a whole isn't dead. Commercial hip hop is dangerously close. There should be no reason artists like Che Noir and Tobe Nwigwe can't sell 5k but NLE Choppa gets millions of views. They drained the substance and soul from the most popular black music. And this was planned by cac executives back in the 80s. It's deep. Some posters just don't care to think deeply about real issues. Or anything really

old Carti is real hip hop

I just got home from work. 12 hour shift. 3rd day for 5 in a row. Helping save lives. I get on the Coli on my phone when I'm bored. Reading comprehension. I can't dumb the thread down for you

I see where you coming from, but where you may have fukked up is not realizing that the majority of people on this board, are exactly like the goofy that made the tweet.

Op, you're 100% correct in your analysis. So what I'm about to say is Not To refute your point.

That being said....

White folks are gonna do what they do. They've run down and pillaged every inch of this earth, so hip hop becoming a victim of their bullshyt is par for the course, quite frankly. The REAL issue in my opinion is the black so-called gatekeepers who'd gladly trade places with those same white folks without a fukking second thought.

The same mfs who will let the likes of Post Malone make comments like that unchecked and continue to work with him.

The same mfs who will allow their peers to polute the culture with mindless bullshyt, yet draw the line at 69 and his antics.

These nikkas are clowns and are the reasons why Adam 22, DJ fukking Vlad, and everybody like them are allowed to flourish within the culture.

They didn't do it by themselves.

Aren't you a cac? No wonder you're so defensive. And using AAVE in that unnatural butchered ass fashion like all the other Coli cacs do

Exposing yourself. Reddit would be your thing. Especially since you post in the Eagles thread more than your own Cowboy fan brother thread. The grass is greener Ethan

huh? i exposed myself? reddit?

Nygga what the fukk you talking about right now?

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Y'all such fukking losers to get trash from the net and give it attention here.

 

[ABlackMan]

Take a step back from hip hop? nikka we've known who Michael and Stevie were for decades. But because you got into Eminem and Kanye after growing up on Pink Floyd and Nirvana, you think you know hip hop? And you think "other genres" don't get attention? And the most popular R&B albums need to be recognized? It's bigger than what he said. It's his history. Hip Hop Twitter in general is toxic, pretentious, and out of touch white men who don't know or genuinely respect black music. They don't even know who Fred Hampton is. But they know who Tom MacDonald is.

Cacs really make me sick. If you take in everything I'm saying, you'd understand. This elitist pretentious attitude has a stench that reeks everywhere. Anthony Fantano. The list goes on. Pitchfork. Sad thing is, hip hop is one of the MANY things in black culture that has been infested with stench

The words simp, woke, and countless others. These words used to be ours. Now not only are the first two completely gentrified, but woke is now an anti-black far-right nationalist cac buzzword

That's another discussion. But to tie it all up. Playboi Carti and Travis Scott are seen as dope by these crackers. But let someone like KRS ONE or Mos Def or Lupe or Ice Cube or even Kendrick have songs that they've listened to about the oppression of black people

Some of those same hip hop loving snow beasts will call that shyt "woke". My rant is done

Bruh I like everybody you named but krs I just never got into em. I like maybe two songs.

It’s mostly cause of the BEEF dvds and how he was talking shyt on Nelly
