Are Hip Hop fans too conservative?
 

Pretty much, what you'll hear from most people who consider themselves Hip Hop fans is that the genre has taken a downturn over the years. Do you think this is because new rappers are truly getting more and more garbage, or are Hip Hop fans themselves just resistant to anything that sounds different from what they're used to?

they are getting too garbage imo. the prevalent ones anyway. but saying hip hop is taking a down turn is a bit much cause there are still some dope shit out there. Just gotta search around. 2 cents dropped.

depends on who your listening to, mainstream wise for the most they are all sold-out.. but ppl like J-cole,Kendrick, and so on is keeping it alive.. in general imo i believe it is becoming garbage because of what the media throws out and how everyone is now portrayed..

its a matter of getting paid and this is what mainstream artist do since what sells now is drugs, women, the glamorous life im sure some of them can write deep stuff but they won't sell and if your not getting paid its a waste hip hop is a matter of preference were the fat boys hip hop when they were rapping about eating pizzas and milkshakes?

Joey Bada$$

While you wet clothes and fake your pimp mode, I'm gathering chemical info
On how to make your neck lymph nodes implode
When I go home, I bathe in ozone
Take my microphone and crush your dome like ice and slurp it like a snow-cone
I spark a shot at those who talk a lot
Put garbage rappers on a murder auction block until the coffin plot market's hot
All my lines are so unorthodox they enter you like carbon monox'
And you still be alive while you carcass rots
The sickest dude you'll never hate, I elevate
And raise the bar as if I was making a nightclub levitate
You'll never be the one like seven-eighths
I'll become irate and strap you to a tailgate then drag you through eleven states
Emcees scorched with a million degree torch
Your thoughts are small enough to fit them all in a flea's corpse
Your rap image got resemblance to a lesbian broad
You looked the part, you flipped your tongue but you can never get hard
I stay in the mode and steam-rolled right over my foes
I on the stage ripping up shows in a Doberman pose
My flow is error less, to withstand the vest you need a better vest
I never stress and always starting shit like the letter 'S'
Unanimously denied your amnesty
At your reunion I handedly mopped your family under the canopy
I start and run upon ya with a sharp persona
Target you in the farthest part of Venus, hiding in a closet in the darkest corner
Equipped with a flame that will rip through a train
Scriptural gain pointing at you with centripetal aim
The antithesis of the word insane bleeding disdain
What I inflict is beyond torture, you'll be pleading for pain
Murder juices with my first producers
In gestation of these exclusives leave you heathen steaming green mucus
Atrocities hit and stop ya nine bodily systems
You'll get gutted out like jail house sodomy victims
Pay dues, my rep is huge, you set new records for skill ineptitude
Methods I use reduce decrepit crews to residue
Exposing fools, my words are valuable like stolen jewels
Your flows are used, you turn them back in with your fruit like bowling shoes
Maniacal fiend that [? ] are green
Put cyanide in an asthmatic rapper's breathing machine
My omnipotent ambiance will turn a room blue
1% of me inside of a 100% of you over consumes you
Delivering barbwire whipping discipline
Backspin the remnants of your non-existence, ten dimensions past oblivion
I mastered wizardry during my infancy
I blink and instantly remove you from the archives of living memory
Soaring above the Earth's [? ], I'm orbiting
Foraging through scorching unseen dark matter specs exploring the origins
The impact of my most average raps will fracture your scapula
Drain the sap from your cardiovascular with a catheter
Technology in my mind exceeds the current time
Like somebody using an iPod in 1689
You should know there be no decoding my poetry
My opponents keep coming slower than rolling three lines on a rotary
The one man genealogy, my bloodline's author
I'm myself, my future offspring and my own grandfather
The labourer, the great outerspace phrase caterer
Nuclear wave raider, sabre-tooth hater disabler
The solar rollerblader, I skated across craters
State of the art debater, thoughts integrated with Darth Vader
In victories I'll never get enough, by sick degrees, I'll rip you
And leave a gash so critical that I'll have to zip you up
[? ] killed himself because to face me is double
He knew my schedule was busy so he saved me the trouble
If you mad I'm not the one you should blast on
Listen I'm so twisted that under my face I've got a mask on

Ain't no mainstream artist past or present could come close to K-Rino.

EXACTLY @Jason Lol Hip-Hop Has BEEN About Drugs, Luxury And Loose Women.

Before hip hop started to become a real movement, the public wasn't exposed to it. With Yo MTV Raps and shit bringing some hip hop to the forefront we created a mainstream. At first all the rap we heard was mainstream, and it was good. This new vibrant art form was getting out and it was exiting and different, from sugarhill to easy e all this shit was out there now and it was crazy. Then more and more people started to add to the pool of hip hop artists. Radio stations were creating hip hop culture by picking and choosing from an ever increasing pool of music and that was influencing the listener.

Now we have a ton of hip hop out there and what the radio and media choose to play and inflate is garbage. White dudes in collard shirts are not who I wan't creating my hip hop playlists. A guy named steve should not be spinning trap, but thats whats happening. Now to find substance you pretty much have to go underground, and thats where the beautiful side of hip hop is, and it's endless. You just have to know where to look.

Support your local hip hop.

it wasn't as repetitive as it is now is what im saying J it was rare you heard a flashy hip hop verse everytime you turn on the radio or listen to an album
