The only thing that's going to stop Rap is the lack of innovation, which has continued to happen regardless.

No. Rap is the genre with the lowest barrier of entry so there’s always gonna a be a handful of new artists with new hits coming and going and that’s what really keeps this genre poppin like it is

Why can’t whites just be appreciating our music and replicating it

Because time and again they aren’t

• Record producer Sam Phillips who discovered Elvis said “If I could find a white man who had the Negro sound and the Negro feel, I could make a billion dollars”. Some of Elvis’s biggest songs were blatantly stolen from prominent black artists at the time. I don’t remember Elvis having any nefarious purpose regarding black people, but those who brought his music to life had the sole intent of stealing black music to market to white audiences
• Countless white pop stars in just the last 20 years have notoriously used black fashion/aesthetics/sounds/surrounded themselves with black faces for credibility just to toss it all to the side in order to regain approval from their “pure” white fans
• Post Malone (who gained fame through hiphop whilst looking like a white ASAP Rocky, got two of his huge breakout hits with features from Migos and 21 Savage, then started dressing like Billy Ray Cyrus once he became a superstar) famously said “If you're looking for lyrics, if you're looking to cry, if you're looking to think about life, don't listen to hip-hop”
• Miley Cyrus, who got the biggest spike of her career through a co-sign from Mike Will, and was absolutely wylin all 2013 and surrounding herself with black people and black culture had the nerve to say “That’s what pushed me out of the hip-hop scene a little. It was too much 'Lamborghini, got my Rolex, got a girl on my cock' — I am so not that.” This was the same interview she complained that country fans didn’t like her, also around the time she was rolling out a country album
• From The Song Machine by John Seabrook, pertaining to record executive Clive Calder, “Calder was unhappy with the German company’s distribution because BMG was unable to break his r&b and hiphop acts in Europe”. The solution was to make a white boy band that made r&b and “urban” music which led to the Backstreet Boys then N-Sync

Us blacks are the roots for a lot of our problems
Your coon chip is activated

- BRAVE

you never truly loved rap if you think this.

what is detroit 80s electro rap?

Acknowledging that black culture is the root of most trends is not racist lol it’s literally facts. We make this world pop for the most part. Without us, the world would be dry as f***. Nothing racist about that.

He from Rockford or some whole time

I don't think rap/hip hop has had the throne for a number of years now

Looking at what is booming, it honestly seems like the most popular songs tend to be pop with some influence from genres like hip hop, r&b, and rock.

I think rap is going to continue to evolve and that’s what will make it continue on for a long time

With how ass it has become, very easily.

Gaming drives 3/4x the revenue of movies and music.

The entire medium has been dethroned as far as commerce is concerned.

we’re in the glam rock era of rap rn for better and for worse

We'll see what's about to happen next

i think this is naive tbh i see a lot of those genres finally breaking out of their bubbles and really making it into us

like hip hop it will be a gradual thing but one of those is gonna take over in due time

In America, rap is still the biggest genre. It has a lot of active artists from different generations and subgenres representing.

Cole, Rod Wave, Polo G, DaBaby, Lil Baby, Uzi, Carti, Kendrick, Drake, Eminem, Jay-Z, Durk, Moneybagg, Thugger, Cardi, Meg, Nicki, etc.

It just has too much diversity. You can argue newer rap is becoming less innovative and street rap might get played out soon but rap is still very dominant and always evolving.

Pop is big but many pop artists ironically draw influences from rap and urban contemporary R&B so what does that tell you? lol.

Something new always comes

That's what ppl were saying in the early 2000s except it was called "the bling bling era"

No other genre has a Future or a Young Thug as of yet so I don't see that happening in the forseeable future

I'll know that the world is collectively disconnected from reality when k pop is on top

That's the kind of s*** people who live 24/7 through electronics listen to

The ringtone era of 06-08 seems to fit this more than the early 2000's.

Early 2000's(00-04) had a lot of quality music and bangers.
