God, back in my day kids were young
Kids these days are so old, things were just so much better back in my good memories.




Don't do this to yourself please



Ignoring the fact that's an extremely shallow view of an entire genre, who cares? Don't be a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ child, you can hear a few curses.

"don't do this to yourself please"
tf are you talking about
Hopsin is the only good rapper that I've heard that isn't one of the big three (2Pac, Biggie, Eminem)

That's not a shallow view of rap, by the way. He's not a child, he just understands how terrible rap is now. They're all rapping about ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like sex and drugs instead of things that matter.

Hopsin's pretty bad.

Messaggio originale di PastelWraith:

Simple answer is the reason mainstream rappers are doing it is for money/fame. In the 80's/90's it was done for expression or to have fun.

They did the same in those times too.

They made money yes, but when hip hop was created it was more of an expression than it was a way to make money. That's the late 70s, by the 90s there were people doing it just for money though not as much as now. They at least rapped about personal things and not the same ♥♥♥♥ as everyone else.

Not even studio gangster would be this new ♥♥♥♥

guess you can really say it is soul music then or human instinct music but not counting the drugs part.

Funny thing is, alot of rock songs talk about sex, in a sort of subtle way but yeah. This stuff was very common in rock in the '80s. Yet, no one really talks about that...

Rap seems to me to be a scapegoat and so on more than anything.

Yeah, rock gets pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but no one's complaining.

I guess it is called mumble rap. The mainstream rap went in that direction and horrorcore went down the depression/anxiety or being more positive/found Jesus route. I think I need a new genre.

Try "so the flies don't come" or "who told you to think?"

[Gen X]

Yes mumble rap exactly, better yet take 2 bottles of syrup and whatever crap pharma drug these idiots put in them now and sound like a sloth rapping

Not good rap

[Danksama]

tbh I don't really like much rap generally and what I do like I like semi-ironically

[Squigalicious]

You should change the topics title to, Why is all current music trash ?

Not all contemporary music is trash though. Mainstream pop and rap maybe but there are enough music genres out there that not everything is bad.

Get some real rap in you.
