I agree that rap is less politically and socially conscious, but there is a reason for that. Back when Eminem and others were in their primes, they were making music with one goal in mind; making money. That goal is still the same, but the way to accomplish it has changed. Rap fans nowadays want to dance and have fun. Surprise, surprise, it's easier to do that while listening to a Chief Keef song about partying, rather than a song where Eminem talks about how he has let down his daughter or his struggles with addiction. Drill rappers are simply taking advantage of this fact in order to improve their own financial situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409203774253961958.post-79517689880507120552014-09-06T20:08:04.107-05:002014-09-06T20:08:04.107-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409203774253961958.post-39398780262381864832014-09-01T23:20:29.029-05:002014-09-01T23:20:29.029-05:00Hip hop seems to be moving in a backwards directio...Hip hop seems to be moving in a backwards direction. Artists like Lupe and Eminem create music with meaning and soul. Alot of the hip hop nowadays is primarily centered around the beats accompanying the lyrics, which would be ok if the lyrics were still meaningful. But there not,and current artists are becoming popular rapping about topics that have absolutely no substance whatsoever. Hip hop definitely needs a transformation.

It seems harder and harder to find anything with substance as time progresses, which I why I second Ethan's opinion, this fake genre of hip-hop has to go.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409203774253961958.post-84905684057754964372014-09-01T21:55:54.542-05:002014-09-01T21:55:54.542-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5409203774253961958.post-50375352816864725962014-09-01T21:55:26.005-05:002014-09-01T21:55:26.005-05:00I completely agree with this article.

It has gone from talking about important things in life to getting girls, killing guys, and doing drugs. Hip Hop still exists, but this fake genre that has sprouted from it needs to disappear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
