100% Facts! Writing & rapping about their environment & experiencing in their life is one thing. I forget which rapper(wouldn’t even call the mumble ones a rapper) who was rapping about guns & violence acts, after he grew up in good high-class neighborhood is 1 example how some believe crime,drugs, & violence is what Rap/Hip-Hop is! It’s unfortunate how that perception is what many believe! (Like believing name needs “ Lil” ! Shows Stupidity! ) Like any genre of music, it’s about expressing yourself, your life experiences,thoughts & opinions. Just to name a few. There is much more that Hip-Hop is & represents !!

Company logos, advertisements, websites, menus on streaming services. Even the latest video games use an interface, UI, HUDs that are very simple looking, to the point where it often looks out of place for the game.

[@harmonyqueue]

It's not just Tupac and Biggie being gone. A huge part of the problem is that the OG's like Snoop, Ice Cube, Diddy, Dre, and 50 got bored and moved onto new things. Diddy, Dre, and 50 started billion-dollar brands. Snoop and Ice Cube found way more success doing movies and TV. From there, the big producers like Tim and Danja, The Neptunes, and Darkchild went into Top 40 pop and almost entirely dropped their production work for rap artists. Ludacris and Missy and Nelly and other big names from the late 90s and early 00s just took a break and took (and still are...) too long to make a comeback. I think that paired with the inevitable rise of Souljaboytellem's big hit having been made in FL Studio in his bedroom, a lot of these mmmbl rpprs got fame and became a mess AFTER they got attention.

I laugh at comments like this. I *kinda* understand what you're trying to say, but everyone likes to think that the old head shit is where it's at (I'm old enough to be considered an old head, cringe) but there was lots of dogshit rap then as there is now. Ain't defending lil pump and the like, but you can't pretend that the scene got fucked since the sound cloud era. No hate at all to you, but wack shit has always existed, it's just different styles of wack.

[@newyorka7]

Filth, drugs, hoes, thug life, murder etc has all been promoted starting with the mafia in the 1880’s. It’s been in movies, music, and all other forms of media since the 50’s. Urbanization is when you take a rural society and urbanize it for socioeconomic development, implementing housing, transportation, and other infrastructure. You’re using the term urbanization wrong. The 90’s was the peak of positivity in hip hop culture and the peak of positivity movements and self knowledge movements in inner cities around America. Rappers delight came out during the one of worst decade, crime wise in NYC. The Bronx was literally on fire, the city went bankrupt 2 years prior, all the factories left leaving the city to become run by crime, and the 90’s was the beginning of gentrification and a city wide socioeconomic boom in finances, education, and wealth creation. It sounds like you’re talking from an anecdotal experience rather than a general realistic perspective.

I don't know, the "gangsta" crowd seeing raising one's own child as going against their values says a lot more about them than it does about CJ.

[@aunknownspecies4153]

That’s because that’s has never been true most gangsters do it to have more for thier family they just do it the wrong way you won’t hear a single rap song without sayin “I do this for my niggas and family” that’s always been the culture to take care of your family by any means

[@paulgc8290]

'CJ' is a talentless spoilt rich kid...I think that's why he got laughed at...

[@nbucwa6621]

it says more about how this youtuber sees rap. Even the comments moon showed in this video were screenshots of CJ's fans pointing out that raising his own child is the bare minimum a man should be doing and he shouldn't expect a cookie or award for it. No one condemned CJ for being a family man, they literally just don't think he deserves a grammy for making a kid and then parenting that kid. A lot of rappers rap about their kids. Eminem's biggest hits have been about him trying to be a better father to his daughters and so many other iconic rappers too have songs that have gotten attention because of the relatability of trying to raise your kids to be better than yourself and repeat your mistakes. But the songs actually has to be good. No one wants to consume your tiktok beat track just because you think fatherhood is "gangsta". It's sad that people who know nothing about the genre or it's actual culture will come on here and bash the whole of it based on a few words from a youtuber who gave an opinion with no real tangible sources or evidence to back up his theory. And the viewers of this channel will just eat up whatever they're told about it without using their own critical thinking skills to figure out what's true and what's not as long as it plays into their own biases.

[@Sweetmotion23]

He’s fake that’s the moral of the story. He isn’t a gangster so stop getting mad that a fake id!0t lied about being a gangster to take care of his kid.

DaBaby is actually one of the few artists who couldve legit reached Lil Wayne or Drake status in the rap world, but his homophobic rant on stage as well as him being a very unlikeable person in real life put a massive dent in the wheel. While rap often boasts about being a thug or an asshole, I guarantee you, it still helps being a likeable character with the audience. Artists who are known for rude or destructive behaviour quickly have their fans turning on them. Drake, J Cole, Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion, Nas, Andre 3000, and Nipsey Hussle are all very likeable people.

The term “1 hit wonder” is a real thing. Some artists just aren’t meant for longevity, that’s the way it’s always been. Social media certainly doesn’t help by keeping people in the spotlight long after their time is up. Tupac said it best “it’s all over now take it like a man”.

Rap music kind of fell off for me after 2012 Their is some gems here and there, but liking an artist as a whole is nonexistent, as in I dont follow them for many years. Some rappers i did follow for like over a decade at least starting from the 90's. Don't follow these new artist at all, like their legacy is nonexistant. They burn out quickly

[@mrm9570]

​@Yggdrasill8 I'd say it depends on how willing you are to find the really good/talented artists. They're not even too hard to find. You just have to dig past the surface. You hv ur Cole and Kendrick but then artists like J.I.D., Mick Jenkins, Coast Contra just to name a few are about and defo still show the beauty that is rap. Acting like Lil Pump or CJ define rap as a whole in todays culture is doing a disservice to the genre. But I can admit that some mainstream artists forget that part of the name of their job role has 'art' in it and are more likely just after a bag and livin that lifestyle

[@gregsmith7949]

It's inevitable that any successful music genre, if it continues long enough, becomes a parody of itself. Look at 80s hair metal, pop punk, grunge, 90s metal core, bro country, and today's rap. If I want a parody, I'll listen to Weird Al.

No offense but the idea that the “rap culture” hates rappers having families is pure bullshit. It just doesn’t like frauds, or people claiming to be bout one thing and really being another.

[@DroneStrike1776]

That Lil Xan character, he's not suffering mental illness, he's suffering from stupidity. So sick of these people using mental illness as an excuse for bad behavior. Pac and Biggie grew up dirt poor, they grew up in a tough time. The 80-90s was a lot different than it is now. It was a lot harsher, especially for minorities. I was born in the 80s and grew up in poverty, so I know first hand. Pac and Biggie didn't complain about mental illness because of their upbringing, they used it as an advantage and rapped about it. Rappers nowadays use it as an excuse to act stupid while blaming it on mental illness.

[@AlexSomers-d2n]

Didn't biggie go to private school and his middle school click would freestyle rap together after school? Got no problem with that and it could just be an urban legend. And what is mental illness?? A marketng term for big pharma to marganalize kids so their parents buy whatever drugs the psychiatrist push? Literally replacing honest two way communication at home with specific drugs that prevent the kids from thinking for themselves. Little Xan certainly is stupid for the hell of being stupid. Considering how overhyped the evils of drunk driving are compared to...driving on xanax...its a good thing he didn't total the car driving all xannied up. Xanax suck but usually the people that fall off the deep end with it have more external problems than they can tune out. By that time theyre not mentally gathered enough to hold a career.
