They've been running the same plan since the first French Revolution. Tear down religion, tradition, and culture, then they can rule their own fake utopia on top of the ashes.
Even though I was a kid and wasn’t allowed to do a lot I still had a blast with friends and my hobbies/nerd stuff were run by people who knew the audience. Part of the reason I love the free streaming app Tubi is because they have a ton of 80s content
If only we'd stayed the course. Black jazz is fine, but this drivel that is nothing but verbal porn and murder stories with booming in the background can be gone.
Alternatively, there's simply no evolution there. No progress of ideas. No advancements of theories in music. A broken record playing a stagnant tune, but it plays it because that's what the core demographic wants.
There is advancement in the genre, but it tends to quickly leave the genre, since the genre is analogous to a spoken word album with a BGM. Anything interesting or creative, finds itself quickly ceasing to be rap. There's dozens of different "metals", which themselves are an evolution of "hard rock", which is itself an evolution of "rock and roll". Likewise...
In a way, EDM and Dubstep are evolutions of rap. You're just dropping the spoken word part of the music, and only focusing on the beat/rhythm/music part of it, and letting them develop being freed from needing to play second fiddle to a vocal track.
But the core demographic want basic repeating beats with occasional bass boosts (see? EDM and dubstep's origins there) with some guy loudly and tunelessly swearing about how he likes to commit petty crimes or at least antisocial behavior. And so the "core" of the genre doesn't need to move, because the audience laps it up every time.
Really sad that someone watched a beautiful story like It’s a Wonderful Life and that’s what they come away with.
They want to destroy Americana and make you ashamed to admit you miss it.

I was born in 80 and I definitely miss the 80s and 90s.
I was born in the 70's no even in US, and I misss the 80s like no one else.

Music genres rise and fall in popularity organically. But not rap and hip hop. That shit has been artificially hoisted on us for 30-40 years now.

I skimmed it, "critical of banking industry". Russian last name, his ancestors were probably escaping a pogrom
I would rather have fire ants on my fartbox than read this "article"
