There's nothing wrong with being experimental as an artist, that's how music evolves and new genres/subgenres/styles are created. We need to be able to classify music though, at the end of the day if what an artist makes leans more towards a particular genre more than it does to Hip-Hop then it no longer falls under Hip-Hop. It's like when Lil Wayne released Rebirth, he released it as a Rock album instead of Hip-Hop because the sound leaned more to the Rock side.

The Rap industry isn't rap RAP.

[@Traptember]

Uzi has always reminded me more of Good Charlotte than Meek Mill

[@JRD1990]

Ish: "Put out a better project" 😂 Grip (new Atlanta artist signed to Shady Records) literally put out a project better than this album and 90% of rap albums that came out this year. Nothing against Uzi, much success to him but quality has nothing to do with success in Hip-Hop these days, there's several rap artists putting out great projects that's falling under the radar and not doing big numbers. It has nothing to do with the quality of the music, it's the audience that's choosing to ignore it and look over it because they choose to value different things in music while the industry is just marketing/promoting what the audience values to profit off of it. People don't care about real rappers or real bars anymore because otherwise Black Thought's new album would be going platinum but instead people choose to listen to Uzi 🤷🏾‍♂️

Yea it’s hard for MC’s. Unfortunately they would have to push the “Rap” product if they want the mainstream attention. Basically push the “Rap” product means..Write BS, wear BS, associate with BS in order to stay “Trendy”. There’s MC’s (Kendrick, Cole) & then there’s “rappers”(those who are about sales & trends as opposed to the art.)

If hip hop is allowed to be morphed into rock. Rock will continue and hip hop will cease being a mainstream genre because the musicianship required to keep up is lacking

[@adrean3693]

Hip Hop is a CULTURE. A subset of black culture. Hip Hop is Dance, Fashion, Dj, Graffiti, MC. In 2023 “Rap” or “Rappers” are a PRODUCT. MC is the art (Kendrick or j.cole). Yes “Rap” can evolve or devolved but Hip Hop isn’t going anywhere.

[@richrdxson_ixvi]

I didn't say Hip Hop would cease to exist. It just would no longer be a mainstream genre. It would return to it's cultural roots. It happened to Jazz. It happened to the Blues. When Rhythm and Blues morphed into Country & Western and Rock n Roll. It was a wrap.

[@t-god2439]

My point exactly i don’t think a lot of these “rockstars” know how talented you have to be to be a rockstar. That’s like saying you an mvp and you just barely good enough to ride the bench. Kanye is more of a rockstar than any of these dudes because he actually understands music.

@@CHerbo773 That's literally what you just said but I don't think you have a problem, I just think you don't know what you're talking about. Hip Hop is the combination of everything specific for 2 reasons: - it's heavily predicated on samples of past music and past genres. - as the most recent musical genre that is a "base" genre and not just just an alternative/extension of one That means it's the only genre with the position to take from every other genre before it. Country can't be a combination of everything. It's too many other genres have come after it. There's no hip hop in country because country music singers they'd be copying something that came after them, not before.

It actually pretty cool ASF he's exploring other things and music because I listen to everything I believe diversity in music is where it's at and the mixing of genres is fyee ASF but what dude said about rap is correct...

There’s more than one type of hip hop artist nowadays. Hip hop is no longer just about rap artists and djs, and that’s okay. The issue is the over saturation of non rappers and them constantly being labeled as rappers when they either only do it part time or don’t do it at all. Use inhibits the fashion, the persona, the cadence, flows, performance, break dancing, etc. it’s just that the actually content itself isn’t always rap based or rap influenced.
