>To be clear, hip-hop is still the most listened-to genre of music by far, and it’s still growing>dying>it has a 26.8% share of U.S. recorded music consumptionThe share is still too high. 1/3rd of all music listened to and it's all a rehash of Hip Hop from the 90s. uygha, uygha, kill a uygha, smack a bitch, sell some drugs.
>Hip hop only had 1 album in the top 10 this year, Hip hop music has been about singles and the uygha of the week for awhile.

>recorded music consumption
what counts as 1 consume for music tho? If a song is good I'm going to listen to it more than once. If it's good enough to keep coming back to I'm going to save it to a local medium. Also I tend to discover music through 3rd party clients like newpipe, since platforms disincentivize playing directly from the platform, and through fanworks, which don't count toward the official stats.

All this hip-hop/rock n roll is dead is just old-school fools looking for vintage aesthetic.
No.8940
>>8931hip hop isnt dying but it is declining because younger Gen Z's like jersey club, pop/kpop, and taylor swift.
No.8941
>>8940they aid the same thing back.in 2005-2011.
And you say that like its a bad thing.
And Gen Z has their own epoch of rap with the trap and drill shit.
I wish rap music would grow out of gangster themes. It did or a time back 2008 - 2013 with LMFAO, Black Eyed Peas, Pitbull and whatnot with house music.
No.8942
>>8941trap is old, it goes back to the 90s but it was a bit more obscure back then so some people think it's more recent

>>8942>>8941>>8940to many dril rappers going viral and dying in gang shootouts before the escape the life
No.8948
>>8941maybe check out the whole hexd/surge/sigilkore scene, tbh there still some gangster themes as you call them but the instrumentals and overall aesthetic is completely different.
No.8949
>>8917Speaking of obscure Hip-Hop artists, a great one is Jazz Spastiks. Sucks that they aren't more popular. If you like Hip-Hop from the 90s, you'll probably love these dudes, although I think any music fan of any era can enjoy their shit.
Some songs of theirs (these songs are some of my favorite songs):

>>8915Drake's music is kinda fun tho
He raps like how young people talk even though he's like an old ass millennial at this point
Also no one gives a shit about "inauthenticity" anymore
Plasticness is the wave
No.8996
hip hop is too limiting, i haven't listened to that shit since i was 16 or something
i moved onto house, techno, jazz, etc.
No.9078
>>8996exactly. Hip hop wamts to remain ghetto fab, rapping about thug life problems and "coming up". Nothing is allowed to be artsy or purely fun.
Its just punk for blacks.
Rap music was best left as jazz poetry
No.9097
>>8913Plenty of old heads make new music but its hard to find even Ai algorithms struggle to find new listenable rap.
No.9168
>>8913Maybe one reason is that a lot of young upcoming rappers who were supposed to establish themselves in the industry either died or went to prison (XXXTentacion, Juice Wrld, Lil Peep, Pop Smoke, Tay K).
It just feels stagnating and repetitive now
No.9169
>>8913Reminder the album in the OP came out 17 years ago kek.
Hip Hop should die. It's amazing it staid around this long. Can't just keep on doing the same counter-culture shit forever and have it still be fresh. Hip Hop should be as dead as Grunge, Punk, Metal etc.
