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

@Hathaway it's time for you to drop a new song from a completely new genre.

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

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

Gonna be mexican music

 

[BigMan]

Was a good run

Hip hop been in decline since 2017

 

[BigMan]

EDM Spanish Music Foreign Pop

 

[Iceson Beckford]

In the clubs I've been hearing the Rap same songs for years

Amapiano Dancehall and Afrobbeats got the clubs moving

 

[UncleTomFord15]

Good news

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Oversaturation. Same thing happened to disco. Only difference is that straight, 'White' men still like it because they can say 'nikka' with impunity.​

 

[Amo Husserl]

It was cooked up in a board room long ago.
Saul according to plan.

 

[StackorStarve]

[boogers]

i think most genres are dead

metal is really bad right now too

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

good most of that shyt is ass now

 

[Complexion]

Wonder what will take its spot because nothing is bubbling with the same underground to mainstream appeal and pretty much everything is influenced by hip hop at the moment anyway.

That and its got to one up rap like it did to rock. That alone seems impossible given how coarse it is so I expect an AI resurgence of dead artists of all genres to fill the void as the new old thing. After that it'll be something from the East which will probably still have its roots in rap/R&B anyway.

That or a new language will come through and change the game...

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Word is Murphy Lee has been posting about returning through SoundCloud and a few other streams

Least some artists haven’t lost the motivation

 

[Elim Garak]

No it's not although today's rap is fukking awful.

Ehhhhh still number 1 and nothing is even close to it. All the other genres just doing their version of rap now. They got country white boys calling it country but it’s clearly rap over country music. Taylor swift and lizzo might be the only two singers not rapping. Even B got some rap verses. Rock is dead. It ain’t ever gonna be classical or jazz.

They have absolutely nothing to replace it with. Everybody loves our culture
