Good take
Rap is case-by-case tbh, like with any genre lol. I don't understand restricting yourself to or from a genre, if the music sounds good it goes
There is TRASH rap, and it's called TRAP, MF DOOM is good lol I am not real enough to get Kanye West's music yet
On the one hand, I'm definitely not a fan of a lot of contemporary rap. There are some incredible emcees don't get me wrong. But there's also a lot I just can't listen to, and that seems to be the popular strain currently. I like some trap music, but not a ton. And I'm definitely not a fan of mumble.
On the other hand though - and this is the part of my opinion that isn't particularly well received by people my age - I can't pretend that foundational hip hop like Rapper's Delight and others were some sort of lyrical masterpieces rich with meaning and content. So we can't really fairly argue that "vibe" and content-poor music isn't "real hip hop" without engaging in a lot of hypocrisy imho.
As with everything else in life, a lot just depends on when you came up, and what you placed personal value on during that time. I personally definitely tend toward more lyrical, bar-heavy rap. But I think unless you've consistently been someone who exclusively listens to really underground stuff, battle rap, etc. to the exclusion of all else, it's impossible to exclude less lyrical and less technical rap as "not real hip hop," just because that's always been a part of it from jump.
I also think the genesis of gangsta rap (which I also love, don't get me wrong) in the 90's has biased a lot of listeners to everything needing to be "hard" in order for it to be legit. For me, that's all well and good. But I think sometimes the "hardness" arms race in rap diminishes one of my favorite things about it: humor and fun.
Lest we forget, hip hop really came about as part of an effort within communities with few resources and lots of challenges to take what little they had and turn it into something facilitating creativity, enjoyment, artistry, and even simple escapism. That's part of why "sampling" and DJing are foundational parts of hip hop, because people weren't really out there able to make their own beats. It was, in part, a way to find joy in otherwise miserable conditions.
A lot of times today people will critique bar-heavy rap that is too tongue-in-cheek or pun-heavy as "corny," when that has always been part of the humor and fun of rap. Literally always. But it's not "hard," so people think it's whack. I find this does a disservice to the eclecticism that rap is capable of supporting. I don't want to live in a world where every rap song has to be "hard" to be considered hip hop, anymore than I want to live in a world where the only popular rap is mumble and trap.
Anyway, what I'm saying generally speaking is that I think rap will always go through eras and phases, and what's popular today won't always be popular. There will be vibe eras, lyrical eras, comedic eras, melodic eras, etc. And there's room for all of it. Even if I may dislike a lot of what's popular today, all I have to do is wait long enough and that will change in due course. Believe me, I've seen it happen many times over by this point in my life.
This is a really thoughtful response.
its horrible.
