I agree, a little.
Life of a rap fan
23 years old here, it's trash. Most of it is adlibs and repetitive shit with autotune.
Don't get me wrong there is some good shit out there today, but it ain't on the surface.
you think that it might just be you not being able to acclimate to different. evolving sounds? That you're too lost in a comfortable packet of nostalgia where rap music presented as a certain set of images and sounds instead of constant progression through its form?
agreed. the problem started in the 200s. most rappers from the 90s were still around so they wore themselves out in that time. now their gone and have been replaced with trap faggots who drink cool aid and do that hair dye shit

It's why i personally dont consider trap to be hiphop, its closer to pop. Not to get too into genres, but hiphop is based on sending a message, telling a story that should be told. You don't see that in trap, all you hear is catchy beats and lyrics that are simple and easy to remember i.e a pop song.
sad to see a classic style of music flush down the shitter

Rappers used to worthless niggers growing up ghettos in absolutely shit conditions dealing with all kinds of shit fucking them up permanently and eventually reflecting on this wealth of fucked up life experiences.
Now rappers are worthless niggers who grow up in sheltered upper middle class lives no longer facing anything near what was in the past and still try to act as if their life was tough the same way. It's pretty obvious why the quality is lower.
