Drill music is already starting to dissipate my guy due to all the kids dying over the lyrics. NYC is looking to ban drill and rapper like Nardo Wick who made “who want smoke” back tracked on his message when parents started accusing him of promoting violence.

IMO Because gangster/drill rappers became more open about love/pain and other vulnerable feelings that listeners relate to. SoundCloud rappers had a huge wave because they were touching on depression and other sensitive topics that gangsta rappers wouldn’t. But gangsta rappers evolved and now you see Lil Durk and NBA Youngboy singing about love, pain and shit on their music. And they’re doing it without the corny rainbow hair and all that none sense, so it’s clear to see why they’re back on topic.

To put it simply, I don't think you can have too many "intelligent" or "open- minded" artists. I don't think the industry wants a bunch of nas' or J.Cole's running the industry. A few are okay but not the majority. They want the violence,the lean, the drugs,the killing. Music is so powerful and if you have the genre run by the likes of nas' and Jay-z type minded artists speaking wealth and brand building, you literally change the trajectory of an entire group of people. You change clubs, you change streets, you change leadership, you change an entire movement, And why would the white ran hip hop industry want that when it could dethrone them as executives and beyond and restore my people to the top and retake what they have created.

Alright, let me add to what you just said. The industry only allows a certain amount of artist "on top" at a time. When they decide to, you has a rapper, or rap group, will "fall off". This is what happened to wu tang after the 90's, all of a sudden, their beats got wack. Big pun dies, big L dies, pac dies, biggie dies, mase retires, aaliyah dies, left eye dies, eazy e dies. The list goes on. The industry decides this stuff. And when they want a rapper or group out of the limelight, they WILL do it. They only want a few "conscious" rappers in the mainstream. They won't allow too many. The rest stay underground. Rigged system. Rigged charts

The thing is rap isn’t really competing genres anymore. Up until now it was Clout rap vs. Melodic rap vs. Lyrical rap vs. Gangster rap vs. Underground rap. Now all rap kind of works together. It’s not a completion between genres, it’s just an appreciation of all types. Underground rappers collating w mainstream etc

You don't really need a 10 minute video for this, it's pretty easy to see: the OGs bless new gangsta rappers and dismiss the Soundcloud generation.

I haven’t been keeping up with the politics of hip hop the last few years, and I’ve been listening since ‘96, thank you for putting together all of these fantastic video essays about the culture, and doing such a great job of explaining in a clear and precise manner, about what’s going on in hip hop today, while being able to explain how we got here 🙌🏻

Authentic rap is winning right now. ✅

Real talk: rap was on the verge of becoming a joke in 89-91. There was an invasion of European rappers making techno dance music with it. Rap City was playing C&C Music Factory, I Got The Power by Snap n Technotronic all the time. A lot of times Rap City looked like a Madonna video. May sound crazy but gangsta rap set the new standard in 92. It was the deadly reset that got them dancing niggas up outta here. It drew the line that said this is what rap is now n it pretty much killed all that extra shit that everybody had been doing since the 80s. Rap was finally being taken seriously. We need a deep dive on the difference between impression of 80s rap n 90s.

We definitely need a deep dive into the impression versus the reality of hip hip in the 80s and 90s because your comment definitely reeks of an impression. The reality however is that in 1989 you had the debuts of De La Soul,Naughty By Nature(New Style at the time),Special Ed,Nice & Smooth,Gang Starr,Kool G Rap,the DOC,Mac Dre,Divine Styler,Jaz(featuring Jay Z),Queen Latifah,Maestro Fresh Wes,Esham,Craig G,Chill Rob G,Antoinette,Cool C,3rd Bass,Freddie Foxxx,Stezo etc. That's all hardcore hip hop shit.Indeed there was a lot more beneath the surface than just the Hammers,Young MCs,Kwames and Kid 'N' Plays of the day. And that doesn't even compare to the shit that dropped in 1990.And I'll challenge anyone on this earth to name a single year outside perhaps 1980 and 1988 that compares to 1991 in terms of the history of commercially recorded hip hop. Gangsta rap is extremely important to hip hop and even still underappreciated in some respects.And yet if it ever set a standard I'd argue it did so in all the worst ways:by eventually making rap music formulaic,cartoonish and boring.All the while peddling Horatio Alger-style capitalist values and aspirations to the black working class.

@@user-xb4fm5rx8h There was plenty of wack shit in the so-called golden era.But while gangsta rap certainly invigorated hip hop while putting regions outside the tri-state area on the map,the notion that gangsta rap saved hip hop in the early 90s is laughable at best. In fact by '92,while a few gangsta rappers were still making quality music,the perception from the underground was that gangsta rap was mostly homogenized and weak at best and,at worst,had already become the preferred rap genre for a music industry establishment still trying to figure out how to market hip hop

Trap music is Atlanta version of gangsta rap. Trap has nothing to do with the 808 drums or anything to do with the beat. The trap is a place where people do their dirt at and live at aka the ghetto. Gibbs being from the midwest and Griselda being from the east coast, trap rappers (Atlanta street rappers) and mafiaso rappers (East coast street rappers) are part of Gangsta rap. No matter how the beat sounds. The content is the same.

Great videos put out lately

In 2021 and 2022 alone Big 30, Pooh Shiesty, Gucci Mane, Lil Durk, key glock, Kodak, Dolph, EST Gee, Yo Gotti, Lil Baby, Moneybagg yo Have been dropping straight HEAT 🔥 with actual meaningful bars. Honorable new mentions are : Nardo Wick, Baby face ray, and ice wear vezzo. I feel like I’m back in 2010-2015 the way trap music is evolving. No more buffoonery we’ve been witnessing in 2016-2018. It was a fun era, but very goofy. Mostly used for partying. P.S: anyone noticed the silence from the female rappers? 👀👀👀

"Drugs and Dresses" I disagree with that heavily simply because of J.Cole And Kendrick And Joey Bad Ass's presence in the game
