    This is a bad take. There has always been artist in Hip Hop chasing the song of the week. That’s what makes it so commercially valuable but there are plenty of artist making “generational bangers”. Examples like Drake, Kendrick, J Cole, Killer Mike, shoot even “newer”guys like JID, Kenny Mason, Tyler the Creator. There’s always been two sides to hip hop it’s all about what YOU choose to listen to and allow the algorithm to push to you.

    I love the designation of “laziness” for modern day hip-hop cuz it’s so fitting. With the exception of a few artists I’ve watched this entire genre fall into a state of complete embarrassment: corny / juvenile lyrics, hyper-sexualization, and an overall lack of substance. But younger folks continue to eat this shit up so the talent barrier to entry is at an all time low…

    I'm an European metalhead who as a kid listened to Kool Herc, Run DMC, Public Enemy, De La Soul, Tribe Called Quest, loved the jazzy grooves of The Digable Planets. I kinda dropped out when gangsta rap took over in the nineties. And those acts really couldn't compete with Rage Against The Machine's killer debut anyhow. After that, from what I picked up through pop culture osmosis just came off as fake and manufactured. Like it wasn't a hip-hop song but a jingle for a brand, the brand in this case being the performer. Well anyway, metal went through a similar phase. And then about a decade ago powermetal exploded for some reason and now there are so many unique and creative metal bands around, it's awesome. Europe embraced the cheese and has gone full on comedy/party club metal _(Fleddy Melculy, Electric Callboy, Nanowar of Steel),_ in East-Asia the women are absolutely slaying it across the board _(Aldious, Lovebites, Hanabie, Nemophila),_ and almost every country now has some traditional folk metal thing going on. Polynesian trash _(Shepherd's Reign),_ Indian nu-metal _(Bloodywood),_ Mongolian throat singing groove _(The HU),_ and everything in between that you can think of. The passion of these people is off the charts and i'm loving it. Hell, even the old farts who pioneered the eighties are kicking some musical ass again. Metal has never been better. Pretty sure hip-hop will have its own creative renaissance in the coming years. Just like the Universe, people abhor a vacuum.

    I've been into hiphop since 1995. For as long as I can remember, people have been saying today's hiphop is shit and that hiphop is dying. It's not. Tiktok will not kill hiphop. Kids have always shaped mainstream hiphop. There is still awesome music being made, and that will continue being the case. Tiktok won't kill hiphop. Twitch won't kill hiphop. Twitch influencers don't know who Killer Mike is when he wins Best Rap Album. Hiphop doesn't need those idiots. Hiphop has always been appealing to kids. Kids don't have very good taste. So hiphop will always have shitty music getting popular due to kids. This has been true for at least 35 years.

Most of all the songz out in this era are Samples or Copycat songs. I'm sorry all of them. Honestly it's not about the lyricism, but more about the talent & looks. It's sad. I truly truly wish we can go back in time & get true Hip hop R&B back...!! I am glad I went back to the early 2000's & 90's jamz. Great video, glad I came across your channel.

    Have you guys taken a listen at Korean hiphop? Check out Haegeum by Agust D - he wrote composed and produced it entirely himself. Used a traditional Korean stringed instrument in his production, so it's got a unique sound that you won't usually hear in western rap. Also would recommend his other song Snooze, he asked the famous film music composer Ryuichi to help with the composition, so it's got a cinematic feel to it. One of his best friends RM is another really great Korean rapper/writer/producer. Check out his song Yun, it features Erykah Badu.

    Im not a musician but an artist and yeah, social media makes it feel like figuring out how to make 'satisfying' process videos is more important then the actual art. Its exhausting that now the lowest common denominator is figuring out how to turn your skill into short form entertainment. Like i cant just be an artist and stick to that , i have to learn to record stuff , manage social media, upload things on certain times, camera angles, whatever.

    Fantastic video, I just subbed! I'm so happy to see more people calling out the hip hop is dying rhetoric I'm seeing. Sure, mainstream hip hop is fucked but so is the mainstream of every other genre. If you're looking for some alternative rappers making great music give these artists a spin: Denzel Curry Slowthai Kenny Mason Saba Smino Femdot Little Simz McKinley Dixon Freddie Gibbs Jean Dawson (not really hip hop, more hip hop adjacent) Flatbush Zombies (this is a group, check out their solo work too) None of these guys are new, they've all been making music for years now if not decades. Great hip hop is still being made everyday but, as Kylee said, you gotta find it.

    My only critique of the thorough video is it’s not that attention spans are diminishing (backed by an actual study that contradicts the pop psychology) it’s more that we just have more options and more discretion. Otherwise the video covered all the bases ✊🏾

    I don't listen to any of this but I've been recommended this video by a creator I follow and a friend whose opinion I respect. This was a great video that used research to back up opinion. As for the music I look at it the same way as black representation in movies and tv. We claim we want better and more diverse views of black life but we don't support those alternatives when they pop up and are well made. I've been guilty of this myself. If we want better quality music then we're going to have to show that what we're being given now ain't it. As you hinted I think we can look forward to a book of better music in the near future especially with what's been going on with Tiktok

    I get what you’re saying about criticizing the current version of mainstream artists today and how they all act entitled like they’re doing you a favor and not listening to what consumers want however, there is a distinction as a visual artist myself, I realized I wanted to make what I wanted to make to express my feelings at the time and if it so happen to be profitable to a company that was a plus, but the problem is these people aren’t actually artists they didn’t grow up loving the music. They had the right look and didn’t sound like a screeching cat so autotune turned normal Instagram influencers into the prominent artist we see today. I think the difference is you can hear it in their lyrics nothing Ice Spice says tells me anything about herself other than commenting on what I can see visually and that goes for male artist too just bragging about cars they label let them rent for the weekend. Also, Deli by Ice Spice goes hard because I get the tiniest bit of insight on life as a hip-hop loving young woman in in the Bronx.

    This isn't a look on why a whole ass genre is dying. This is the hip-hop version of cringe culture. The hip-hop version of art lore of furry hate that should've died back in 2018. It is one group enforcing their ways onto another instead of presenting them genuinely. It is condemnation. Not assistance. This is that hipster who bashes you for dare enjoying anything other than an amateur arthouse film that one 69 awards at Sundance. These are the CoD fans who think they are better for not playing Mario or Animal Crossing. This is the Renaissance Disney fan who insults people who enjoy Tangled and Bolt for not being 2D. As someone who also likes older rap, I literally have an entire playlist dedicated to it, I'm tired of these kinds of takes because it comes from a place of not being able to move the hell on or try to understand. But, it also presents the idea that there is something inherently wrong with enjoying ANYTHING made now. I'm not about to tell my younger cousins that they are low-hangibg fruit for enjoying never rap songs. It proves that you haven't been looking period. I fully understand the effects of certain rappers associating themes with the no-no crowd. That, and how capitalism in general just ruins art. But, it is ludicrous(heheh) to say that EVERYONE is doing this. I know you said you don't want a smear campaign against female rappers but, it is still being done here. Art is subjective. If you don't enjoy Ice Spice or Doechii or Sexxy Red, there's Aliyah's Interlude, Flyana Boss, Janelle Monae, and Rhapsody(not no name, tho. she is sus). If you don't enjoy Lil Mabu, there's NF, Cordae, Little Sims, JPEGMAFIA, Danny Brown, and J. Cole. Either way, I'm tired of constantly hearing that things are dying when something you don't personally enjoy becomes popular. It's the sake with how yahoos say the Oscar's are good when something they like wins and in vice versa(I fundamentally don't enjoy the Oscar's). The problem will always be capitalism, but hip-hop is a force much stronger. Also, there's more important things that are actually dying. Specifically in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and here on Turtle Island. Let's focus on shit that actually needs to be fixed.

    This video is more of an analysis on why artist development is dying and how it has affected hip hop specifically. It's not about disliking newer artists, but exploring why the younger gen finds them attractive which she concludes is more about parasociality and group identity than the music itself and that's bc social media has blurred the line btwn artist and content creator. Also, Why is Doechii there on your list? She's the opposite of the problem. A fully developed type of act that TDE is known for.

    I really think using Ice Spice as an example for this “decline in the quality of music” is really strange. Ice spice isn’t the most amazing rapper in the world or anything but she makes fun music that is meant to be an expression of that region and soundscape (Bronx/drill). Soulja boi is like a way worse rapper but he makes fun music and we’re okay with that. One day there will be an artist that will be the new “ice spice” and we’ll look at this as the weird kind of almost misogyny proxy it is, hopefully. Not saying you have to think her music is good but the overt hate of her strikes me as strange and clearly connected to her sexuality.
