What happened to Rock is slowly happening to Rap. You are seeing the beginning of Rap no longer being the dominant genre in music

Was a good run

[Shabazz]

What’s replacing it

 

[jdubnyce]

Couldn't even name new rap artists, songs

I'll stick with my 80s-2000s hip hop

Maybe I'm but

 

[Fill Collins]

Good

Blues, House, Jazz, Funk, Soul, pre-80s r&b...plenty of other Black genres that sound better and actually move me can have a chance at a resurgence

 

[AyBrehHam Linkin]

Yeah Rap is dying definitely

 

[A Pimp Named Slickback]

Neo-Soul will make a comeback







If only the masses appreciated it

 

[Heafcliffe]

Not all but some of today's rap is .

I stick to what I know and can appreciate.

 

[Savvir]

Good.

 

[Patrick Kane]

This a fact.

nikkas gonna say it’s streaming so the impact ain’t the same but it’ll be a long time before we get another definitive hip hop classic album or rap superstars like Jay, Snoop, 50, Nicki, Kenny, Drake. There’s no one that’s dropped since 2015-2016 that’s really transcended hip hop/music like the ones I listed and a few other legends.

It’s still gonna be records, nikkas gonna pimp the shyt and make money off it cause the club still needs records but it won’t ever be the way it was.

[Donny]

Yeah it really feels like it’s on its last legs can’t believe it

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Both genres peaked and stopped innovating.

When artists in general are quite pedestrian and the elite no longer the standard it this is what happens.

Stagnation is death.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

You may also see Black people lose value in pop culture

 

[StackorStarve]

I haven’t heard any other genre of music strong enough to take that top spot but it’s definitely dying.

 

[BrothaZay]

It’s just dry rn I saw it coming. Too many artist were arrested or killed over a 3-4 year period
