It's the opposite, there's been an oversaturation of that kind of stuff, and that's precisely what is perceived by out of touch labels as the current mainstream rap sound, that's why pop divas stopped singing over trap beats recently, they realised the lowest common denominator got tired of that shit and now there's a nu-disco and UK garage revival
Boom bap traditional stuff hasn't been mainstream since the mid-00s so it's understandable those albums aren't charting high, so in the end there's more than enough rap being made, but it's just not as commercially viable as it was 5 years ago thanks to trap becoming mainstream, also it doesn't help current trap artists are either the same fucking artists from 5 years ago and those fucking retards that rip-off Playboi Carti, you know his co-signs, they're so fucking bad
Because Hip-Hop to me means a specific genre of music which uses rapping, usually to carefully written lyrics, over older style of drum beats and sample-based rhythms and melodies.
Roughly speaking.
And that genre has been less popular than 'rap' and its offshoots now since the 2000s. It's already been replaced by trap.
good timeline: post-rap like By The Time I Get To Phoenix, clipping. and dälek breaks through
actual timeline: the industry realizes AI generated trap music is a better alternative than making sure a nagger doesn't die for long enough to make them stacks.
I think streaming and the internet really killed the concept of a "scene" and that the existence of a scene is essential to the creation of hip hop. Rap has nationalized because people don't necessarily have to collaborate with folks from down the block anymore. This has harmed the unique identities from which historically successful rappers have sourced much of their best energy and lyrics. There are no flexes left to make
>I think streaming and the internet really killed the concept of a "scene" and that the existence of a scene is essential to the creation of hip hop.
partially this, but the other part is how the term "hiphop" was hijacked and used to describe talentless "trap" and "drill" cancer, which isn't hiphop. add this with a dire lack of talented producers and corporate backed failures that can't write lyircs and are literally drug addicts involved in crime, people stop buying your shit. these same failures seriously wonder and cry about how the "old heads" won't fucking go near these newfag failures. the soundcloud era of cancer is over. people are moving on.

It's been dying since roughly 2001.
Girl music has replaced it
that's been around since Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Belly, et al
i dont think wpop is going to replace it. white girl pop is so bland at the moment, you got like what, dua lipa? boring
>Albanian
>White
Hip-hop has been losing ground to trap-influenced whorepop for a while now

hopefully good rap songs will stop appearing on tiktok
>Is hip hip dying?

>If so what will replace it?
literally anything would be better
>zoomers discovered deftones and radiohead
>its a good thing
>downfall of (C)rap
Define Hip-Hop.
Because Hip-Hop to me means a specific genre of music which uses rapping, usually to carefully written lyrics, over older style of drum beats and sample-based rhythms and melodies.
Roughly speaking.
And that genre has been less popular than 'rap' and its offshoots now since the 2000s. It's already been replaced by trap.
If hip hop loses popularity get ready for some people to say society is racist
kpop and wpop stans are singlehandedly holding down the #1 spot
another black genre
wh*Te "people" can't make music
black people have no genres left, its over. once rap dies black people will become irrelevant
and replaced by what? pasty white trannies?
good timeline: post-rap like By The Time I Get To Phoenix, clipping. and dälek breaks through
actual timeline: the industry realizes AI generated trap music is a better alternative than making sure a nagger doesn't die for long enough to make them stacks.
Reggaeton
Well that will change once Eminem drops another song
I feel like music has been pretty stagnant since 2015
I hope something comes along soon and freshens things up a lot
