None? Really? Do you realise how ignorant that is? I highly reccomend you listen to artists like Tyler the creator, Kendrick lamar, Kanye West, Jay Z, Saba, Noname, Denzel Curry, could honestly go on and on but, my point is, stop being judgemental to things that you have probably never actually took the time to look up and listen to. And if you dont want to escape your little bubble fine do you but, dont speak on things that you have no idea about and then paint an entire genre as garbage. I completely agree with you on the cardi b situation and, guess what? Litterly no one that really listens to hip hop today likes her or her music.

[@flintaugustine3320]

Pineapple Guy TG Venom is very judgemental on Tyler and Mac since he mostly thinks they’re average lyrically cause he judged him off of his early, even though it’s his opinion, he’s very entitled to it. Tyler can be great rhymes with songs like Yonkers, Domo 23. Tyler can go bar to bar lyrically with Joey Bada$$. Mac Miller can be great at rhyming as well with songs like The End is Near, Diablo, Cut the Check and Funeral and Mac can go bar to bar with Earl Sweatshirt, Schoolboy Q, and even Joey Bada$$ since TG tend to be judgemental on both of them

[@stomachache6478]

Pineapple Guy Some of today’s music is good, but we all have different tastes, and my taste is that most music made today doesn’t have heart. No meaning behind it. Some do, but most don’t. Some just talk about pussy and money. I know that this is a weird pick, but Gangster’s Paradise has a deep meaning behind it. What, is this guy talking about how he has murder on his mind really deep? Hell no, it’s a terrible song that just talks about how he murdered someone because he wanted to. And everyone in my school loves it. I don’t get it, and I get harassed for speaking my opinion about the song at school. You’re right, some songs are worth listening to today. But the artists you listed aren’t people’s taste, but it’s your own personal taste, along with others.

Dude. I’m glad I found your video, and it gave me a lot of closure. I myself only like the classic rap from the 80’s and 90’s that most people find corny now a days. But I stand by the opinion that it has its charm, and was good music. Like you, I used to like rap music despite being a long time punker most of my life generally listened to all genres of rock, and appreciating orchestra. Around the same time you got out of rap is exactly the same time I did, so I can relate completely. 2003 was a time when it took a turn for the worst. I was 13, and all my friends at school took the bait, and were essentially eating trash. I noticed the new disgusting messages the genre was pushing and narrowly escaped with my own untainted common decency intact. Never looked back. And it only got worse with time. You nailed all the points. But my observation is that the male artist tend to project themselves as these badass dudes that rap about how great they are how much money they have to spend on stupid shit that doesn’t even matter, and with lyrics that basically describe women as sex objects only. Basically one big dick measuring contest between different so-called artists. And on the female side is promoting slutty glorification, and that being a hoe is female empowerment along with the crimes you commit. It’s demeaning as hell, it’s wrong, and I am personally really ashamed to have to share the earth with the people who make this trash, but also the people who think it’s cool. And yah! I’ve voiced my opinions about it to others, and most everyone has ether called me a fascist, a racist, a hater, and the list goes on. People actually defend this shit. And if you know anything about punk, especially folk punk which is what I do for a living, we are against all that stuff in addition to supporting the LGBTQ community. And man! Let me tell ya, some of the people I’ve played with and heard sing could sing way faster than any of these new rappers, and they don’t even have to rhyme all the time. It’s just like rapid fire, and these guys and girls ether have or recovered from addiction, and smoke! Sure not most people understand or get our genre, and probably think it’s shit. But punk was never supposed to be pretty. We do what do and we love doing it. Hell! Me as a banjoist, and guitarist, all you basically need to know is 3 or 4 chords. That’s it. We make music on a budget and don’t need to sing about how rich we are or how many women we have. And our female singers are pretty real with their dignity still intact. It’s not about the money. It’s about the passion for making music first and getting by second. That is what makes a true artist.

Thank You my man!!! you perfectly summed the same thing I have been lamenting about the music I love for the last 40 yrs being in the hip hop game. I was thinking about what can be done to change the bleak outlook because right now. Hip hop as it is today is nowhere, nothing, and bereft of the creative genius, the struggle, and social commentary of what made it appealing so long ago. I think artists (I use that term loosely) today in general dont understand where it came from, Dont understand the struggle, the poverty, the incarceration, and probably dont care to learn it either. My thinking is that if you become a rapper of any reknown you must must know intrinsically its history and that anything they rap about today how it connects to the culture and furthers the culture.

I don't mind Metal or Rock music. I'm no expert behind the music genres, but I rather listen to the instrumentals of most Rock or Metal. Especially when they do the shredding on the guitar, that's really cool. The only Metal I don't fuck with is Black Metal, because it's boring tryhard music about religion propaganda. That's why I don't listen to Gospel music because I find it boring and annoying

[@deanlangley4003]

TG Venom Right I get what you mean man, I don’t like Black Metal either

[@therealtgvenom]

@@deanlangley4003 Now regular Heavy Metal, Groove Metal, Death Metal, I don't mind that. Hard Rock, Soft Rock, regular Rock I can deal with that. Now knowing all the bands, their albums, their band members and their songs. I cannot tell you to save my life

It's mostly record company executives that flood the market with sound alikes because it's a safe way to make easy money. They don't want to the old school footwork to find talent that is fresh and original.

True but I still believe the main blame is the consumers. The people who actually buys this trash or promotes it. Ya know the people who tell these record label executives that this is what they want

I'm a millennial but I just don't get what I'm supposed to relate to in these rappers. I sometimes wonder what the fuck I'm not relating to? Like what makes hip hop today good?

[@devoncones7146]

THE MAIN REASON RAP MUSIC HAS BEEN SUCKING FOR THE PAST 8 YRS IS BECAUSE ALOT OF ARTISTS HAVE LOST OR NEVER HAD THERE OWN CREATIVE DIVERSE INDIVIDUAL STYLE, EVER SINCE THE TRAP AND MUMBLE RAP WAS INTRODUCED EVERYBODY WANNA BE ON THAT ONE TRACK MIND "WAVE" AND REALLY DON'T HAVE THERE OWN PERSONALIZED THING THEY DO AND JUST TALK ABOUT NOTHING WHICH IS WHY THEY HAVE NO LYRICAL CONSCIENCE, THESE YOUNGER CATS HAVE WATERED THE REAL ESSENCE OF RAP MUSIC DOWN SO MUCH WHICH IS WHY IT HAS BECOME STAGNANT.

[@therealtgvenom]

@@devoncones7146 I hated it because it was nothing special and it was annoying crap for the kids/teenagers at the time. Goofs like the Ying Yang Twins and Lil Jon was untalented and super annoying. I hate that argument (welp, the beats nice, so who cares?) Which is exactly the main mentality of current Hip-Hop artists and fans today. Rap is more than just beats, it's about the lyrics and if you're not saying anything good or nothing, then I can careless. If the beat is so nice, then I'll just listen to the instrumentals, not the Rapper. That Crunk Rap crap also paved the way for more dumber artists with even less talent like the Snap N Pop dance rappers like Soulja Boy and rappers who just come with a stupid hook and look so ghetto like Hurricane Chris and Waka Flocka Flame. Then that paved the way for trash like Future and mumble rap and Chief Keef paved the way for that new age Trap Rap and Drill Rap bullshit. Now we've got bullshit like Lil Uzi Vert and Tekashi 6ix9ine

The music industry only pushes stuff that repeats what they’ve already proven they can make some money from. Originality is an attack on them.

[@ScorpioBornIn69]

I sure like Musk to buy out the music industry to clean house of all this rubbish by requiring having musical talent to sing with real voices, real instruments and to write 'their' own music. That is if he dislikes today's music a lot. Sure hope he does and buy them out!

[@scuderiadoggo378]

Little late here but I absolutely agree with your opinion. I listen rap and hip hop in the 90s and 2000s and they use in what I can use in the terms "lyrical flavor" with good rhymes and songs.

[@Own.lee.who.men.516]

I think so called "rappers" today don't respect the genre like the rappers did in its infancy. When hip-hop first started, it was about lyrics and skill on the microphone, and wayyyyy before it was on vinyl it was all about LYRICS and SKILL. Not only were the rappers knowledgeable and appreciative of the skill, so were the fans. The fans knew a phony when they saw one, and they would call you on it. If your performance was wack, they let you know; you would get laughed off the stage!!! Not true today. I just think it's a generational thing. Back in the day, hip-hop was a serious form of expression and a way of escape for people who had been feeling the sting of oppression for over 400 years...BLACK PEOPLE! Unfortunately, in a nutshell, when corporate America got involved, everything changed. Now it's just something that every kid from Iowa to India wants to do just to "get a bag,"💰 and every other kid from the suburbs wants to listen to so they can look "cool" and say the word "NIGGA!" It's really a d@mn shame if you ask me and I feel your frustration TG Venom, I really do 😢 #OldSchoolHipHop4Life!

[@veloxityy_4872]

I still think there’s tons of good hip hop artists out there you just gotta listen to the right ones: Kanye west, jpegmafia, Tyler the creator, older drake, k dot, young thug, playboi carti, Travis Scott, ASAP rocky, future, kid cudi, etc, have all been able to catch my attention and make good music. Some of them aren’t the greatest lyrically but they’ve found other ways to be successful at making good music (better production, cooler vocals, more creativity, etc.)

There is a rapper I recently found by the name of Trouble One. Has some pretty good music about real hood shit. Not saying we should follow him but It's still good music he makes. My favorite song by him is My Demon Is A Criminal. Talks about how the lifestyle he lives is sometimes tough and hard for him to change it. At least that's what I got from it but either way it was some deep shit. Sucks no one is paying attention. I honestly feel like he could have gotten some popularity with that song since I feel like some people can relate. Sometimes it's hard to change yours bad habits and ways. Great video overall. Keep it up.
