To me, Hip Hop is comedy.
Kids are listening to the “old stuff”.
Good.
It took longer than disco to die, but at least it’s dying.
having to listen to hip hop is like torture
The problem with hip-hop is that it isn’t music. It is jarring and discordant.
What is really annoying these days is that they take a good song from, for example, Michael Jackson, and then inject rap into it. It’s a worse surprise than getting Rick rolled. I usually change the station when this happens. I always change the station because of rap and Alanis Morisette.
My guess is that all of the really good Hip-Hop artists have now been shot, as being shot is required to have any credibility on the street. So, kind of hard to maintain the genre (a little Leftist lingo).
Like hollywood and public education.
Probably because the Africans have gone full country now that “historians” have convinced whitey that the “masked man”, Bass Reeves, invented country western music when he wasn’t riding with Tonto or rodeoing with the Indians.
Primal beats for savages is a key indicator the person is a low IQ moron. That, and just how many times can the attitude of a street punk be entertaining.
Wow, “hip hop” is 50 years old. What’s amazing is I could not tell you a single hip hop “song” title. Even more amazing is that I don’t think I’ve ever heard a “hip hop” song in those 50 years. Is it the same as “rap”?
Somehow some “rap” crap leaked into my Spotify and it thought I liked that crap. Now and then a “rap” crap would play and I couldn’t hit “skip” fast enough. I couldn’t find a way to disabuse Spotify of the notion that I liked it, but it seems to have faded out of my channels. Maybe it is smart enough to know that when I instantly skip it means I don’t like it. Spotify needs a “I HATE it” button.
They can’t bury it soon enough!
The gym I go to plays that rot gut. It’s like getting pounded on the head with a club.
Please, just make it and its various offshoots go away.
From another musicologist...
The history of black music since the Civil War has been cycle after cycle after cycle of black musicians creating a new musical style, which eventually gets picked up by non-blacks, which makes the style useless to black performers who want something unique to them, which causes a switch to a new style.
First minstrel, then ragtime, then dixieland, then blues, then bebop, then rock-n-roll, then soul, then rap, then hiphop. What’s coming next? Hu noz.
It already infected country music - aka Hick Pop.
Or have all the rappers been capped?
I was wondering why all of a sudden hip hoppers are doing country?-)
I see that Newsweek back to reporting the important issues of the day!
The devolution from bebop to hip hop is huge — like falling off a cliff.
Hip hop and rap are two different things. Which one is dying?
