Will rappers move on to more relevant subject matter from here forward?

Akademiks feelin militant now that there's fukkery involved. He'll go back to spamming Tekashi content by next week though.


The label isn't cutting a check for that stuff right now. He posted Tekashi the other day challenging rappers to a fight and got flamed badly. Reading the room is a skill many don't have.

Some of you saying no don’t follow music trends, if it’s trendy to be pro black rest assure half the rappers are going to follow, heck white people trying to be pro black and they ain’t even black lol.

Nah, a lot of people who lost family and friends during these crazy times, are not going backwards mentally.

No.

At this point, we need an ENTIRELY new genre of music.

I LOVE Hip Hop, I really do. But I’m about ready for Black folks to throw a lot of it to the bushes because it’s too compromised and too drugs- and materialistic/image-obsessed. I’m so serious too.

If a Black cultural (and hopefully economical/political/spiritual/familial) renaissance comes out of all what’s currently going on, I sincerely hope it’ll include at least two new and completely unique genres of music with a more in-depth subject matter. Because at this point in time, Hip Hop just ain’t it anymore as far as being a powerful vehicle for Black folks y’all :francis:
