normies ruin everything

nah, globalization*
on the flip side, you got niggas like Offset and Gunna doing afrobeats and R&B
bro can we raaaaaaap
Because this is who mainstream hip-hop is for now:
The suggestions all Masons
with the same lame ass name
Education system sucks
People are on phones all day short circuiting their attention spans
The death of monoculture
Also the evolution of politics today vs 30 years ago, the lines are more blurry than ever and a rapper that can contextualize and communicate it effectively is extremely difficult to do.
It can be done tho and when it is, it’s most likely going to be unrecognizable
no matter how much you dont want it to be the case but the entirety of american culture is ultimately an extension of american state and its ideology, and even when its outspoken it will never meaningfully penetrate the status quo. it will adapt and dilute all of the idioms and signifiers of any movement that it touches and turn them into capital. the entirety of 2010s was about that
and to the point of american culture being part of american state, hip hop as a whole will always be just another part of that cultural mainstream and never go against it
People don’t stand for s*** anymore because it’s way easier just to make a dollar and fall in line
yea unfortunately being nonchalant af iand not giving a f*** s the wave nowadays most of teens and stunted adults don’t wanna see you get or put a bit of effort in
i remember when lil baby bigger picture was news headlines and he immediately stressed it was a one off and he’d never do it again
Which is a shame cuz it’s really one of the best things he ever made

They trying to keep the black man silenced by giving em a slice of blonde haired blue eyed coochie
my newest president an a******
I guess that's I'm leaving turd stains
you love that bar huh
“ Leave that up with the critics and the laws and all that other s**t. We having fun. We iced out. We having money. That's how we doing it”
also doesnt help that ppl like akademiks that function as tastemakers are trump d***riders
That's what happens when the new mainstream is built off of mostly "vibes" and a few niggas from 10+ years
lol yea she didnt, id fw if she did tho she gave a great speech. but like yea i think the strongest part of what im saying is like
when ever have gay rights, trans issues, governemnt budgeting, foreign policy, and deportations been hot topics in rap like that? I can see the ICE s*** being bigger and like economy getting worse yes but these arent exactly topics that have been popular for rappers ever lol. if its something that publicly is known as an attack on the black community then that would be dif. mans alr talked to death about trump being a dictator in 2017 it would just be the same s*** i dont think anyone cares to hear that. the general feel of this era and the economic s*** is a bigger thing that i think could be reflected in the music soon, but like the guy has been in office for what not even half a year?
feel like its p hard to tackle whats going on rn unless your like a backpack rapper or someone like armand hammer
2pac and the outlaws always had a decent amount of political bars
