@@tylerwilson6629 I think technically all off the top is freestyling but not all freestyle is off the top. As freestyle is supposed to be "free of style" and can be off the top, memorised or even written down. Though for whatever reason it's frowned upon if your freestyle isn't off the top, which in most cases it's memorised. It should be about the words and the sound, not whether or not they came up with it on the spot.
I'm hoping for a change where the sound is no longer lazy, overproduced or just chaotically random just to sound different. Different doesn't automatically equate to good.
I like seeing popular artists experiment with their music, whether it be Kanye making a straight industrial hip hop albums, Yachty making a psych rock album, or Mac and Tyler making neo soul. It’s fun to watch artists step out of their comfort zone and give us an album that *they* wanted to make.
im glad im not the only one that noticed it, hiphop now isnt just turning on a beat and rapping anymore, every artist needs to offer his own creative experience and vision, along without something groundbreaking every album they drop if they wanna stay relevant, we got carti with wlr, yachty with lets start here, denzel with melt my eyez, travis with utopia, etc
That’s what it’s always been... all the artists you named are trash too, even with all the new standards we have now. Utopia especially was just a knock off of rodeo and you niggas ate it all up. But hey that’s the trick isn’t it.. as long as the sheep can eat, the grass will always taste good
@@juliansith7563 denzel is a kinda mainstream metal trap artist which we dont see often, also his last album was a huge step outside his comfort zone into classical rap with amazing lyricism and it the same time some tracks felt fun and lightweight, it was a breath of fresh air for the "mainstream"
I just think that since the soundcloud era became so big and revolutional, changing hiphops sound and look, we are experiencing the comedown now. This comedown could either be the end or revival of hiphop. Artists are desperately trying to do new things now, Uzi and Playboy Carti for example.
@@mitchross4002 nahh uzi stretching.did all that for sake of being “different “ That’s why he’s was out here with these “Rock” tracks, that BMTH feature was so out of place 🤮 I mess with bands but this wasn’t it.
I'm actually loving the turn Hip Hop is going into. Rappers are starting to challenge the status quo and becoming more in tune with not only what's going on but how they feel/think. This is wonderful for the culture, we need this.
Man I miss hip hop albums that were like the story of their artist. College Drop Out, Wolf, XXX, and Good Kid Maad City. They felt like movies about the artist, their upbringing, beliefs and influences. The city the came from and they would have their friends feature on the album. Those felt like stories I could relate too and live along side. Travis Scott Rodeo is another one.
While it is clear that you started listening to rap early 2000's, and based on your knowledge your article is done well, experimentation in Hip Hop was explored thoroughly in the 90's. Busta Rhymes' clothes, Missy's videos, Andre 3000's style, The Native Tongues, The Wu Tang Clan's group concept, Hype Williams' movie BELLY, Jay Z's Hit Hard Knock Life, these are all instances where artist's gambled on themselves in the name of creativity.
Interesting take. I’m excited to see what people come up with when they’re actually forced to be more creative in order to sell well. I’m tired of the same manufactured sh*t. I hope this forces artists to actually create storylines/ music with something actually to say. Besides bragging about how rich they are. I think this fatigue we are experience also goes hand in hand with the looming recession and the just the overall “tiredness” of celebrities & flex culture. People right now want something real. Something substantial and relatable & I can’t wait to see how that will reflex in people’s music.
Unfortunately i dont agree, i have felt the same way most of my life but unless it is still building on a subconscious level, i can tell you most people arent interested in listening to something deeper. They might THINK they do but when you get used to eating only fast food, home cooked food tastes gross at first. Ive been trying to blend listenability w substance myself, if you got time i got some album singles coming out right now 😁
musical creativity doesn't just come from lyricism and songwriting. it comes from the music and the way it sounds too. And what's the issue with flexing?
@drpea5189 Excessive flexing esp in the mainstream is just lazy bragging, more than half the time its lying, and its boring to only ever brag about material things, which most people do. Also kind of reinforces the whole $ = your worth. Dont get me wrong i like some braggadocio but sometimes shit gets old
i think the same thing is happening in multiple creative mediums. just like rap, movies aren’t dying, people will only go to the box office for something that is interesting and creative as opposed to the bland, formulaic stuff that has taken over since the early 2010s.
Its just going through a transition, if yall remember 2005ish-2010ish it was that terrible phase of "snap/swag" music took over they said it was dead... then Tyler, Kendrick, cole, asap, joey bada$$, big krit, prime drake, big sean, wale, cheif keef hit and revitalized it again. I feel another Renaissance could happen or tik tok will ruin it but ogs need to step in
I’m just happy we’re slowly moving back to a space where copying others or playing it safe is seen as wack if there’s one thing that was cool about the 90s in hip hop is that every artist did have their own sound and it didn’t sound like the same or at least extremely similar I wasn’t born during that time but looking back you kinda had to look hard to find people that are like just copying others
Ugm , no one had their own sound back then , quite the opposite actually , the sound was boring and the same except for a few artists , what mattered was the originality in the style of the rhymes and delivery
If you want sum different check out my shit cousin ✅️✅️✅️ im getting my shit together and will be finishing an album within a few months, and i got at least 5 moe after 😁
I mean as far as the underground back then and now that Allie's but the industry has always been a copy cat industry . Those that stood out , well you know...stood out
I believe Hip Hop was once simple and straightforward as a genre in itself. In today’s Era of “Hip Hop” they’re are sub branches. Like How Tyler fused hip hop and Neo Soul into one. That experiment was a success and new ones will continue to be made by current and upcoming artists. Hip Hop will keep complexing as the years go on. I just hope it goes into the right direction.
But what is the right direction? What is even considered right? Cuz ur opinion might differ from other ppl. There is no right or wrong direction it could lead.

I love and agree with the point of this video however gotta call out a huge gap in the artists that are being credited here. To suggest the modern experimentation in Hip Hop is being led by A$AP Rocky, Tyler, Travis Scott and Kanye (all mainstream acts) is a huge disservice to the armies of underground and indie artists who arent Hip Hop media darling who have been pushing the vanguard of these sounds before the established acts. EG, Kanye did not invent experimental rap with Yeezus, he was coming late to the party of acts like Dalek, Death Grips, Saul Williams who were already adding experimental and industrial soundscapes to rap. Lofi soundscapes were being used by tons of artists before ASAP and Tyler from SpaceGhost to MFDoom, and i'd give a shoutout too to Roc Marciano and KA for the drum less sound the started. Don't forget the underground is always at the cutting edge of these developments.
I agree w what you're saying, idk how he managed to talk about the most mainstream of experimental music, how tf did they manage to make a video on experimental music w/o artists that make it being talked about, smh.
I do find this video great but like others have mentioned your giving a lot of the credit for experimentation in hip-hop to mainstream artists like Kanye, Tyler, and Travis when they just brought experimentation to the mainstream. Artist like Death Grips, JPEGmafia, Aesop Rock, Injury Reserve, and Billy woods are better pioneers for the experimental hip-hop and post hip-hop
@@drpea5189wrong, I can’t walk up to someone on a random day and ask if they like By The Time I Get To Phoenix by Injury Reserve. Or if they’re checked out that new billy woods project, because they’re underground.
i honestly think it's crazy how impatient carti fans are. they've only been waiting 3 years for a new album yet kendrick and travis fans had to wait 5 years. frank ocean fans have been waiting for over 7 by now and we don't even have anything confirmed
its because carti's music is addicting asf, you need more and more and more while with frank ocean and kendrick, even though they are amazing this doesnt apply so much because they focus more on the project having a structure and in completely different aspects of the music, while carti just focuses on making everything different everytime he drops and using simplistic, catchy with recognizable unheard beats. Personally i can listen to stop breathing like 100 times in a day but if i listen to a kendrick song like count me out i'll get bored after 1-2 listens, not because its bad, but because its just not the type of music you want to blust at the speakers and sing along
It’s because unlike Kendrick and Frank, Carti constantly lies about when he drops and teases shit that he never drops. His team does exactly that too, teasing music just to say “nah that’s never coming out” so why show it🤷🏾♂️
@@amazingjay3957 that could be true but frank also teases shit here and there and carti's music is completely different and way more addicting and easy to memorize and sing with, way more catchy and intiguing so people want more and more
Yes! I'm all for change.....maybe this time around you could call it something else!! Let's just give it back to the ones who celebrate the Hip-Hop culture,the ones who recognize the 4 elements,and hold them in high regards. The way it's being handled now is a shit show and I blame the INDUSTRY for this!
Kanye made it so mainstream to the point hiphop just simply become the music everyone can like but the next generation only settle for "making hiphop music that everyone can like" u know what i mean we need new rappers who will gatekeep hiphop in a good way that will say to the world yall can enjoy this genre but yall cant easily copy or steal or enter the game
Tbh, Busdriver was my first renaissance hip hop (mostly weird) artist that I started listening too, Any who, I totally agree its about time hip hop made some changes. #50yearsofhiphop
My favorite artists are the ones willing to take risk and push the envelope of whats accepted despite possible backlash. In this current era, I feel like Carti & Uzi are the leaders of this change 🎸(not the only). I'm always excited to see what they do next.
@@davidawonaike1188did you not listen to pink tape? He took 'risks' for sure... shame all those risks sounded trash. He works best when he sticks to his lane
Bro this is why I fw you bro.... You have the exact same feelings I've been feeling for a long time now... Everyone wants to make songs with no substance and try to make shii for a TikTok hit and don't evolve 🤦🏿♂️ this is why I make the type of beats that I make so we can get real music back
I’m a huge old school hip hop fan and I want to hear music similar to that style instead of trap and mumble rap. It’s just my opinion. I’m not trying to sh*t on anyone who likes the state of modern hip hop. There are artists I respect in today’s age but that’s just where I stand
Salute to Master P. He helped and hurt hip-hop on some levels. The main marketing aspect...all them damn double discs...and how many albums in a school year. 8th grade, I was irritated. It gotta be a limit! He put on for indie and mixtapes, but also them cheezy ass covers and oversaturated mixtape formula. Between 7th and 8th grade, at least 20 students lost a double disc of that no limit ish on the bus 😂.
the day hip hop artists will all flipping a bird to the music industry,, and all musicians in general , maybe there will be a real new era. The power of the DIY mindset with the present technology, is one of the only game changer possible. Travis Scott, Tyler and Kanye are glitches in the matrix of maintream rap music, this freedom should be the norm not the exception.
This is amazing. I've been seeing many pessimistic reviews in music today. And this really made me have better expectations for the future. Cause what you said just make sense
At 34 I've always been accepting of change since I was young and when trippie dropped miss the rage and Mario Judah dropped his version of it I had both on repeat and then we have artists like Rico nasty and city morgue kinda gives me that nostalgia feeling of limp Bizkit, Korn.
I love the honesty behind this video. No one ever gives carti and uzi their credit. its not "rage" music but they blended hip hop and punk rock music. Perfect combo. Amazing video shedding light on the hip hop renaissance we are in, its misunderstood but appreciated by thousands
remember when rappers all sounded different? biting was against the rules then. i want a 2025 version of digital underground, something that's fun, creative, conscious, good lyrics, but also arcane.
rave beats, new jazz, rock rap, and all these other sub genres are changing hip hop/rap. artists like kenny mason, lunchbox, gab3, yeat, and others are changing the game with their music.
yeat is kinda falling off now ngl. also the others arent rlly "Changing the game". just watch bro the rage/new jazz shit is gonna die out in the next 2-5 years cuz of how repetitive it is
I disagree that Utopia was an “experimental” album. Not many tracks on it jumped out at me that way. If anything, Astroworld was much more experimental with the diverse production and range of instrumentals it had on offer, with almost every track having its unique identity while Utopia just kind of comes across as one note. I highkey think people are abusing the term “experimental” when it comes to rap lol
Not anymore maybe like 5 years ago but the new album sounded like a chatgpt result for ‘really REALLY ironic internet experimental rap album’ his persona may have gotten too cringe for him to ever actually make a big impact
It's easy to Hop on a popular artist's wave. They get support no matter what they put out. When we start seeing no name artists come up then we can call it a revolution.
Hip hop is in its hair band stage …rock music got geared towards arenas,ballads instead of relatable content…Hiphop as far as monetarily reached its peak in the late 90’s early 2,000 as it ventured further than just acts from the west or east it started becoming much more mainstream in America…every area and era had a unique style and spoke their views from their surroundings…Now it’s about what’s the vibe for the moment..It’s not dying it’s evolving into something it wasn’t intended to become so it changed like hair metal music…Doesn’t mean it’s bad just mean it’s not gonna get any better
Them dying accounts for the massive gap in time hip-hop has at this point. When Tupac and Biggie died, Puff Daddy, Jay-Z and DMX were right behind to fill the gap after years of struggle and standing on the sidelines. We didn't even have that because these cats died young and their potential replacements were too young and commercial to fill the void. If XXXtentacion and Lil Peep were still alive, this would be time for their imperial phase, alongside Pop Smoke. This is like if Tupac and Biggie both died before the mid nineties when they became the biggest things in pop culture, not just hip-hop. There is no way Jay-Z or DMX would be ready to step up and replace them at that time. This gap period means we need older guys like Drake who actually need some more rest for creativity to step up and still deliver because the younger generation is not ready yet. Those were are dead. Smh. This is the time Drake should have been trying to enter Hollywood (mid nineties LL style) and he's STILL rapping because no one can replace him, yet. This ish is depressing, not gonna lie...
AS A 25 YEAR OLD FROM THE BIRTH PLACE OF HIP-HOP 🗽 THIS MAKES ME VERY HAPPY ✅ IM SO SICK OF THE FAST FOOD RAP 👎🏾 GLAD ARTISTS ARE FINNALY CREATING ART AGAIN 🔥

Hip hop turned satanic, demonic, gay, unhinged, unruly, unholy, unlyrical, barless, overall less talented. Hip hop is all about poetry , MCing, flow, it was for the people. Hip hop use to welcome the best of the best now it's full of trolls. They will let anyone pic up a mic now. Our standards as a people use to be high. Now we just get high. etc. Change is not always better. A lot of the time things are great as is. We have allowed "them" to infiltrate our art and take the soul from it. I miss real Rap. Some of us are trying to bring it back to rap. It's like Trolls 2 "I'm here to take your strong bro" now they are killing our music and putting everything in under rock. Rappers look like them now. Like rock and roll artest AFTER IT WAS STOLLEN.
I think it's in a 20yr cycle where it'll enter something equivalent to the bling/ ringtone rap era (arguably the worst era) where the quality dips down for a bit and goes into hiding for a few years. I think in 3-4 after rock and country go wild it will comeback stronger than ever.
The problem with hip hop now is that all rappers are about thier gimmick now. It’s not about what your saying or how that effects the listener, but about how they dress act and look. Hip has has become too materialistic. There’s no realness, love r soul in hip-hop anymore. Those problems compounded by rappers mumbling and singing un-intelligible raps has lead to all artists sounding the same and not having much impact on the world.
This is clearly just an American hip hop trends... Globally its different af... its also odd how there was no mention of hip hop overseas & the importance of hip hop all over the world... I mean 50 cent is enough evidence. Dudes packing arenas rn all over the world rn!
Hiphop is lost and confused right now. It’s in a R&B, Rock, and Pop transition. Rock went through the same thing before it died out. We experiencing the last days of Hiphop before it goes full blown POP!

I wonder what would happen if 90s style returned to hip hop those were my favorite years from Naughty by nature Ice T and NWA to Big and Pac and wu tang and roots to Nas and Jay z Busta rhymes bone thugs to DMX to Eminem and TI and more, that's the Era I come from I would like to see what would happen if that style came back even if the artist aren't as talented as the classics at least they could be on a similar page with a similar style kind of bring back the memories of back then and who knows where hip hop would advance to after that
Underground could bring hip hop back to life,so much personality,styles and amazing production to listen hours on end to,mainstream is biting off the underground sound too much that radio music will soon be looked at as nothing but audio programming,Underground 4L
I don’t think theirs some new revolution in hiphop emerging, cause these creative paths have been charted already, underground if full of creativity I think mainstream hiphop is reaching burnout, TikTok isn’t a sustainable way to mold artist, murder rap and beef can’t fill stadiums, it’s repetitive and boring, the entire internet culture is boring, nothing refreshing everyone chasing TikTok
Ngl I believe we’re going towards the more yeat direction. Like Yeat there is lil yachty, spice, Cochise but I’d love to see BLP kosher make mainstream.
I think that stuffs more for kids. It's all basic and soundscapey. Blp kosher is a wierd take, I think he over advertises his Judaism and it seems kinda racist. Not to mention he makes it a gimmick
personally i believe that tyler, kanye and carti are the most revolutionary hip hop artists ever. These 3 just created something completely new in the hip hop world every single time they dropped. Knaye is just kanye, not many things to say, tyler especcially after flower boy dropped back to back 3 of the greatest rap albums after 2010 up until today, igor might even be in the top 3, carti released self titled which was amazing, die lit which created a whole sub genre of rap and was influential asf and then wlr which there are no words to say and in 10 year we'll be looking back to these concerts and saying carti was kanye level with his creativity and art, even though it sounds crazy now
@@kkrkkr5093 bro, kanye himself loves these too, just because you are stuck to 2010 doesnt mean there are no longer revolutionary and amazing artists like kanye. Yes kanye is better than both but lets see tyler and carti in the next 10-15 years.
Good job on the video, only person you missed was XXXTENTACION. I think his creativity changed the game a lot . Pop smoke did a lot in his short time as well. Not as much as xxx but definitely noticeable.
Hip Hop has been dead, this new garbage isn't Hip Hop, it's a mix of pop and and mumble rap. No one generation can rejuvinate something it helped kill! This type of music has no more room in true Hip Hop than you have the right or credentials to speak on it
“Hiphop” has been wack as fuck since 2016. The fact that the entire wave kept calling those artists “rappers” and kept calling the genre “hiphop” is a disgrace. Hiphop DIED officially on November 24th, 2008, when Kanye West dropped 808’s. Hiphop died when a great lyricist decided he was going to abandon all of that and throw auto tune on his voice, thus birthing and inspiring all the auto tune rappers to emerge out of the early 2010’s. Soulja boy, travis Scott, lil uzi, lil yachty, future, young thug, Kodak black. Etc. I can go on for days. None of your favorite “rappers” are rappers at all. Nor do they make hiphop music. However, nobody corrected kanye after dropping 808’s, and so everyone followed along and kept calling it hiphop and rap. It’s need dead for 15 years now. The fact that the same people who supported all the weak artists I mentioned previously, who are only NOW deciding to complain about the state of “hiphop” is a disgrace 😂 we’ve been saying this since 2016. It’s 2023 and y’all are just now catching on. It’s sad as fuck
Thank God! Now we can get back to how it use to be!🙏🏿 Hold tight the runaways! Ampichino, Joe blow, mobfigaz. M.I.P the JackArtist and M.I.P Street Knowledge 🙏🏿
ATLiens all the way up to Speakerboxx the love below was inspiring. I’d argue their double album set some of the standard of music we got in the mid to late 2000s with acts like lil Jon trick daddy Soulja boy rich d usher lady Gaga Kanye Britney Spears Katy Perry etc who all arrived after that album was released
He's still relevant because the younger guys who could have replaced him are dead now. Smh. This would have been the commercial peak of XXXtentacion and Pop Smoke if they were still alive.
@@manniking233 agreed with your sentiment of x and pop being huge if they were alive (I loved them as artists), but that doesn’t mean that Drake would be IRRELEVANT if that was the case
@@manniking233let’s keep it a stack. Drake ain’t been replaced by x. Drake is on that A list level. Those guys would have been big but more on a at best Charlie puth or lil baby level where people will enjoy them but they also don’t appeal to people’s parents etc
So true hip hop is getting better because now that mainstream is falling down underground is finally getting recognised I just wish people would acknowledge that old school underground can out match anything today in mainstream and even underground
Hip Hop can never die because it’s not a genre. It’s just all the genres combined. It’s actually the final genre as all the other ones died because they fall into hip hop at this point. This means I can make a rock album and call it hip hop then drop classical music and just put lyrics over it and call it hip hop. Hip Hop is the final genre.
I don’t listen to most of the new stuff and I stoped hoping in a new golden era. I just listen to the older songs. That’s enough for me. And if I need new music, I will listen to Oldschool and also Newschool underground rap or to new albums of the old rappers.

I feel another Renaissance could happen or tik tok will ruin it but ogs need to step in
tik tok is the modern equivalent of ringtone rap. People thought that would last, then smartphones became accessible to most people in like 2010 🤣.
The swag era was way better than this ‘creative revolution’ now at least it was organic and not only being pushed by the biggest stars
The way you make these statements with this much confidence is so wild.
This guy is delusional lmfaooo
Elaborate. He backs up all of his points with evidence and if you haven't noticed this movement in hip-hop then you're delusional.
@@rockypikmin4493 ….you’re gonna make me rewatch this. This I commented two weeks ago you dork lol. When I’m free I got you. For the culture.
I’m just happy we’re slowly moving back to a space where copying others or playing it safe is seen as wack if there’s one thing that was cool about the 90s in hip hop is that every artist did have their own sound and it didn’t sound like the same or at least extremely similar I wasn’t born during that time but looking back you kinda had to look hard to find people that are like just copying others
Early 00’s too
Ugm , no one had their own sound back then , quite the opposite actually , the sound was boring and the same except for a few artists , what mattered was the originality in the style of the rhymes and delivery
If you want sum different check out my shit cousin ✅️✅️✅️ im getting my shit together and will be finishing an album within a few months, and i got at least 5 moe after 😁
I mean as far as the underground back then and now that Allie's but the industry has always been a copy cat industry . Those that stood out , well you know...stood out
@@gkay8889. Are we talking the Puff Daddy bling era or the early 90s? Just so we're clear...
I believe Hip Hop was once simple and straightforward as a genre in itself. In today’s Era of “Hip Hop” they’re are sub branches. Like How Tyler fused hip hop and Neo Soul into one. That experiment was a success and new ones will continue to be made by current and upcoming artists. Hip Hop will keep complexing as the years go on. I just hope it goes into the right direction.
But what is the right direction? What is even considered right? Cuz ur opinion might differ from other ppl. There is no right or wrong direction it could lead.

@@DenofLeos peep my beats, I'm still learning but i come up with all my own melodies. I hate these lazy procuders that just use loops.
I love and agree with the point of this video however gotta call out a huge gap in the artists that are being credited here. To suggest the modern experimentation in Hip Hop is being led by A$AP Rocky, Tyler, Travis Scott and Kanye (all mainstream acts) is a huge disservice to the armies of underground and indie artists who arent Hip Hop media darling who have been pushing the vanguard of these sounds before the established acts.
EG, Kanye did not invent experimental rap with Yeezus, he was coming late to the party of acts like Dalek, Death Grips, Saul Williams who were already adding experimental and industrial soundscapes to rap. Lofi soundscapes were being used by tons of artists before ASAP and Tyler from SpaceGhost to MFDoom, and i'd give a shoutout too to Roc Marciano and KA for the drum less sound the started.
Don't forget the underground is always at the cutting edge of these developments.
I agree w what you're saying, idk how he managed to talk about the most mainstream of experimental music, how tf did they manage to make a video on experimental music w/o artists that make it being talked about, smh.
I do find this video great but like others have mentioned your giving a lot of the credit for experimentation in hip-hop to mainstream artists like Kanye, Tyler, and Travis when they just brought experimentation to the mainstream. Artist like Death Grips, JPEGmafia, Aesop Rock, Injury Reserve, and Billy woods are better pioneers for the experimental hip-hop and post hip-hop
For sure, kinda annoyed at how people just want their music hand fed to them. Like bro, you gotta dig to find the good stuff.

You put a lot of effort into these videos and they are great to watch. So thank you
Thanks for noticing glad you enjoyed! Things are only going up from here!
i honestly think it's crazy how impatient carti fans are. they've only been waiting 3 years for a new album yet kendrick and travis fans had to wait 5 years. frank ocean fans have been waiting for over 7 by now and we don't even have anything confirmed
I think it was because they had began being used to those faster album drops with only a year in between Self Titled and Die Lit.
its because carti's music is addicting asf, you need more and more and more while with frank ocean and kendrick, even though they are amazing this doesnt apply so much because they focus more on the project having a structure and in completely different aspects of the music, while carti just focuses on making everything different everytime he drops and using simplistic, catchy with recognizable unheard beats. Personally i can listen to stop breathing like 100 times in a day but if i listen to a kendrick song like count me out i'll get bored after 1-2 listens, not because its bad, but because its just not the type of music you want to blust at the speakers and sing along
I think its cause carti teased his new album sm and we never got it
It’s because unlike Kendrick and Frank, Carti constantly lies about when he drops and teases shit that he never drops. His team does exactly that too, teasing music just to say “nah that’s never coming out” so why show it🤷🏾♂️
@@amazingjay3957 that could be true but frank also teases shit here and there and carti's music is completely different and way more addicting and easy to memorize and sing with, way more catchy and intiguing so people want more and more
Yes! I'm all for change.....maybe this time around you could call it something else!! Let's just give it back to the ones who celebrate the Hip-Hop culture,the ones who recognize the 4 elements,and hold them in high regards. The way it's being handled now is a shit show and I blame the INDUSTRY for this!

we need new rappers who will gatekeep hiphop in a good way that will say to the world yall can enjoy this genre but yall cant easily copy or steal or enter the game
Tbh, Busdriver was my first renaissance hip hop (mostly weird) artist that I started listening too, Any who, I totally agree its about time hip hop made some changes. #50yearsofhiphop
Hip hop bouta get WEEEEIIIIRD… and I’m gonna go weird wit it
André 3000s “The Love Below” was even wilder than “808s.”
10 years after Yeezus we got Utopia... maybe in 10 years from now we'll get part 3
My favorite artists are the ones willing to take risk and push the envelope of whats accepted despite possible backlash.
In this current era, I feel like Carti & Uzi are the leaders of this change 🎸(not the only).
I'm always excited to see what they do next.
Uzi mid af😂 carti goated tho
If x was still alive this mfer wouldve have eclipsed allem tho
Theyre literally the ones killing hip hop. Shit dont sound like hip hop so dont call it hop hop.
What risks did uzi take or how did he push envelope ? When he makes generic melodic verbal diarrhea garbage
@@davidawonaike1188did you not listen to pink tape? He took 'risks' for sure... shame all those risks sounded trash. He works best when he sticks to his lane
Be original. Be you. Be hip. =Hip Hop ✊🏾
i been seeing this coming its time for us underground artists to experiment and make the new sound! best of luck to everyone grinding
Hip hop is a culture , rap is what we do . To quote KRS 1 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 don’t forget breaking dancing, graffiti on the walls, style of clothing, slang
808s & heartbreak is hands down my favorite Kanye album
Bro this is why I fw you bro.... You have the exact same feelings I've been feeling for a long time now... Everyone wants to make songs with no substance and try to make shii for a TikTok hit and don't evolve 🤦🏿♂️ this is why I make the type of beats that I make so we can get real music back
I’m a huge old school hip hop fan and I want to hear music similar to that style instead of trap and mumble rap. It’s just my opinion. I’m not trying to sh*t on anyone who likes the state of modern hip hop. There are artists I respect in today’s age but that’s just where I stand
Salute to Master P. He helped and hurt hip-hop on some levels. The main marketing aspect...all them damn double discs...and how many albums in a school year. 8th grade, I was irritated. It gotta be a limit!
He put on for indie and mixtapes, but also them cheezy ass covers and oversaturated mixtape formula. Between 7th and 8th grade, at least 20 students lost a double disc of that no limit ish on the bus 😂.
the day hip hop artists will all flipping a bird to the music industry,, and all musicians in general , maybe there will be a real new era. The power of the DIY mindset with the present technology, is one of the only game changer possible. Travis Scott, Tyler and Kanye are glitches in the matrix of maintream rap music, this freedom should be the norm not the exception.
This is amazing. I've been seeing many pessimistic reviews in music today. And this really made me have better expectations for the future. Cause what you said just make sense
its not dying!! maybe ur perception of it is dying but the genre itself will outlive us all.
Did you watch the video‼️‼️‼️
tell me you didn't watch the video without telling me you didn't watch the video
At 34 I've always been accepting of change since I was young and when trippie dropped miss the rage and Mario Judah dropped his version of it I had both on repeat and then we have artists like Rico nasty and city morgue kinda gives me that nostalgia feeling of limp Bizkit, Korn.
Wow respect 30+ still bumping Trippie and you hip to Rico nasty 😂🙏
I love the honesty behind this video. No one ever gives carti and uzi their credit. its not "rage" music but they blended hip hop and punk rock music. Perfect combo. Amazing video shedding light on the hip hop renaissance we are in, its misunderstood but appreciated by thousands
The last decade of Hip-Hop/ Trap/ Rap is legendary like the legendary bands of the 60s and 80s
remember when rappers all sounded different? biting was against the rules then.
i want a 2025 version of digital underground, something that's fun, creative, conscious, good lyrics, but also arcane.
Great video, love this breakdown of Hip-Hop
hip hop isn't dying its becoming better for once
You sure
rave beats, new jazz, rock rap, and all these other sub genres are changing hip hop/rap.
artists like kenny mason, lunchbox, gab3, yeat, and others are changing the game with their music.
yeat is kinda falling off now ngl. also the others arent rlly "Changing the game". just watch bro the rage/new jazz shit is gonna die out in the next 2-5 years cuz of how repetitive it is
I disagree that Utopia was an “experimental” album. Not many tracks on it jumped out at me that way. If anything, Astroworld was much more experimental with the diverse production and range of instrumentals it had on offer, with almost every track having its unique identity while Utopia just kind of comes across as one note. I highkey think people are abusing the term “experimental” when it comes to rap lol
Poor man’s YEEZY tbh but also quite creative
JPEGMAFIA definitely can be included as well he rly changing shit up
Not anymore maybe like 5 years ago but the new album sounded like a chatgpt result for ‘really REALLY ironic internet experimental rap album’ his persona may have gotten too cringe for him to ever actually make a big impact
The Internet has ruined real music, made it harder for real artists to make it
Hip hops changing cuz I’m coming in 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
It's easy to Hop on a popular artist's wave. They get support no matter what they put out. When we start seeing no name artists come up then we can call it a revolution.
Hip hop is in its hair band stage …rock music got geared towards arenas,ballads instead of relatable content…Hiphop as far as monetarily reached its peak in the late 90’s early 2,000 as it ventured further than just acts from the west or east it started becoming much more mainstream in America…every area and era had a unique style and spoke their views from their surroundings…Now it’s about what’s the vibe for the moment..It’s not dying it’s evolving into something it wasn’t intended to become so it changed like hair metal music…Doesn’t mean it’s bad just mean it’s not gonna get any better
Hip Hop is fallen into a trap, but the greatest ones will not be stuck
Lil Peep & XXXTentacion were the ones. We talking pushing the creative envelope? They were the scariest things coming.
Them dying accounts for the massive gap in time hip-hop has at this point. When Tupac and Biggie died, Puff Daddy, Jay-Z and DMX were right behind to fill the gap after years of struggle and standing on the sidelines. We didn't even have that because these cats died young and their potential replacements were too young and commercial to fill the void. If XXXtentacion and Lil Peep were still alive, this would be time for their imperial phase, alongside Pop Smoke. This is like if Tupac and Biggie both died before the mid nineties when they became the biggest things in pop culture, not just hip-hop. There is no way Jay-Z or DMX would be ready to step up and replace them at that time. This gap period means we need older guys like Drake who actually need some more rest for creativity to step up and still deliver because the younger generation is not ready yet. Those were are dead. Smh. This is the time Drake should have been trying to enter Hollywood (mid nineties LL style) and he's STILL rapping because no one can replace him, yet. This ish is depressing, not gonna lie...
xxxtentacion had a big part also in this change brp .. 17 question mark and all his other creative tracks

Here before this blows up
Lil Wayne needs more credit
He inspired hundreds of rappers, but not the kind of rappers that this type of audience fw
But i agree wholeheartedly, dudes OG
Hip hop turned satanic, demonic, gay, unhinged, unruly, unholy, unlyrical, barless, overall less talented. Hip hop is all about poetry , MCing, flow, it was for the people. Hip hop use to welcome the best of the best now it's full of trolls. They will let anyone pic up a mic now. Our standards as a people use to be high. Now we just get high. etc. Change is not always better. A lot of the time things are great as is. We have allowed "them" to infiltrate our art and take the soul from it. I miss real Rap. Some of us are trying to bring it back to rap. It's like Trolls 2 "I'm here to take your strong bro" now they are killing our music and putting everything in under rock. Rappers look like them now. Like rock and roll artest AFTER IT WAS STOLLEN.
And unfortunately record labels don’t care about the art, they just care about what sales
I think it's in a 20yr cycle where it'll enter something equivalent to the bling/ ringtone rap era (arguably the worst era) where the quality dips down for a bit and goes into hiding for a few years. I think in 3-4 after rock and country go wild it will comeback stronger than ever.
The problem with hip hop now is that all rappers are about thier gimmick now.
It’s not about what your saying or how that effects the listener, but about how they dress act and look. Hip has has become too materialistic. There’s no realness, love r soul in hip-hop anymore. Those problems compounded by rappers mumbling and singing un-intelligible raps has lead to all artists sounding the same and not having much impact on the world.
I really love this new wave, it just feels more like music again and not empty flexing
This is clearly just an American hip hop trends... Globally its different af... its also odd how there was no mention of hip hop overseas & the importance of hip hop all over the world... I mean 50 cent is enough evidence. Dudes packing arenas rn all over the world rn!
UTOPIA is the bridge between last gen and next gen
Hiphop is lost and confused right now. It’s in a R&B, Rock, and Pop transition. Rock went through the same thing before it died out. We experiencing the last days of Hiphop before it goes full blown POP!
Hiphop will never truly die out, especially with how creative you can get with it, we'll see in the future tho
this take is so dumb LOL
Hip hop been pop. Afrobeats and Amapiano are where it’s at
R&B>>

We need the best talents getting the platforms. They only allow hand picced artists to go mainstream while the rest gets pushed to the underground
I wonder what would happen if 90s style returned to hip hop those were my favorite years from Naughty by nature Ice T and NWA to Big and Pac and wu tang and roots to Nas and Jay z Busta rhymes bone thugs to DMX to Eminem and TI and more, that's the Era I come from I would like to see what would happen if that style came back even if the artist aren't as talented as the classics at least they could be on a similar page with a similar style kind of bring back the memories of back then and who knows where hip hop would advance to after that
Plus, 00s soul rap sound
Underground could bring hip hop back to life,so much personality,styles and amazing production to listen hours on end to,mainstream is biting off the underground sound too much that radio music will soon be looked at as nothing but audio programming,Underground 4L
Think of this strategically if you control these main Artist its possible. I feel like The Old school will come back & change back to Lyracism.
That's how you know rap is dead when you hear rappers like Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboi Carti, and Drake names.
‼️‼️
This video was heavily inspired by Middle 8’s ‘Something weird is happening in hip-hop’ video, just like Yeezus inspired so many other artists!
I don’t think theirs some new revolution in hiphop emerging, cause these creative paths have been charted already, underground if full of creativity
I think mainstream hiphop is reaching burnout, TikTok isn’t a sustainable way to mold artist, murder rap and beef can’t fill stadiums, it’s repetitive and boring, the entire internet culture is boring, nothing refreshing everyone chasing TikTok
Im going to change music forever and I will take everybody up with me, the elites are going to hate independence
Ngl I believe we’re going towards the more yeat direction. Like Yeat there is lil yachty, spice, Cochise but I’d love to see BLP kosher make mainstream.
I think that stuffs more for kids. It's all basic and soundscapey. Blp kosher is a wierd take, I think he over advertises his Judaism and it seems kinda racist. Not to mention he makes it a gimmick
Yeat will be forgotten in a few years, his sound backpacks almost entirely off of Carti’s and I don’t see him bringing anything new to the table
Hip hop isn’t dying but it’ll change like it always does…
personally i believe that tyler, kanye and carti are the most revolutionary hip hop artists ever. These 3 just created something completely new in the hip hop world every single time they dropped. Knaye is just kanye, not many things to say, tyler especcially after flower boy dropped back to back 3 of the greatest rap albums after 2010 up until today, igor might even be in the top 3, carti released self titled which was amazing, die lit which created a whole sub genre of rap and was influential asf and then wlr which there are no words to say and in 10 year we'll be looking back to these concerts and saying carti was kanye level with his creativity and art, even though it sounds crazy now
I agree with the Kanye statement, his influence can’t be overstated really.
Well since you included Tyler most people including me say Tyler is Kanye level.
bro put kanye in the same sentence as tyler and carti, unbelievable.
@@kkrkkr5093 bro, kanye himself loves these too, just because you are stuck to 2010 doesnt mean there are no longer revolutionary and amazing artists like kanye. Yes kanye is better than both but lets see tyler and carti in the next 10-15 years.
IGOR isn't a top 3 rap album because it ain't even a rap album
Great video for starting day , here in Europe

Good job on the video, only person you missed was XXXTENTACION. I think his creativity changed the game a lot . Pop smoke did a lot in his short time as well. Not as much as xxx but definitely noticeable.
I'd argue Pop didn't invent much. His beats and rapping were pretty standard
@@elliothammer9485everyone agrees pop smoke was like 50 cent reborn. So not really original but he did have hot songs
the same could be said abt xxx. Pop tackled a foreign sub genre and put his own sound on it
Pop Smoke was good but certainly not boundary-pushing in any way
Old x, new x, ion care its all blessed
Hip Hop has been dead, this new garbage isn't Hip Hop, it's a mix of pop and and mumble rap. No one generation can rejuvinate something it helped kill! This type of music has no more room in true Hip Hop than you have the right or credentials to speak on it
I listened to Igor 5 times in a row when it came out ❤🎉
“Hiphop” has been wack as fuck since 2016. The fact that the entire wave kept calling those artists “rappers” and kept calling the genre “hiphop” is a disgrace. Hiphop DIED officially on November 24th, 2008, when Kanye West dropped 808’s. Hiphop died when a great lyricist decided he was going to abandon all of that and throw auto tune on his voice, thus birthing and inspiring all the auto tune rappers to emerge out of the early 2010’s. Soulja boy, travis Scott, lil uzi, lil yachty, future, young thug, Kodak black. Etc. I can go on for days. None of your favorite “rappers” are rappers at all. Nor do they make hiphop music. However, nobody corrected kanye after dropping 808’s, and so everyone followed along and kept calling it hiphop and rap. It’s need dead for 15 years now. The fact that the same people who supported all the weak artists I mentioned previously, who are only NOW deciding to complain about the state of “hiphop” is a disgrace 😂 we’ve been saying this since 2016. It’s 2023 and y’all are just now catching on. It’s sad as fuck
If Tay K was free hip hop wouldn’t of died
Thanks for giving some hope
4:45 when ASAP Rocky would shock the entire world? Did he really?
Thank God! Now we can get back to how it use to be!🙏🏿 Hold tight the runaways! Ampichino, Joe blow, mobfigaz. M.I.P the JackArtist and M.I.P Street Knowledge 🙏🏿
OutKast is the creator of the new sound years ahead of their time! Dnt get it twisted
ATLiens all the way up to Speakerboxx the love below was inspiring. I’d argue their double album set some of the standard of music we got in the mid to late 2000s with acts like lil Jon trick daddy Soulja boy rich d usher lady Gaga Kanye Britney Spears Katy Perry etc who all arrived after that album was released
Outkast and UGK always got outside the box, especially harmonizing and adding gospel and jazz to their beats. The original trap jazz.
I feel this “ creative form of hip hop “shouldn’t be considered hip hop
It's should be in the pop category.
Drizzy will never not be relevant, he’s too good and will adapt to whatever
Facts
He's still relevant because the younger guys who could have replaced him are dead now. Smh. This would have been the commercial peak of XXXtentacion and Pop Smoke if they were still alive.
@@manniking233 agreed with your sentiment of x and pop being huge if they were alive (I loved them as artists), but that doesn’t mean that Drake would be IRRELEVANT if that was the case
@@manniking233let’s keep it a stack. Drake ain’t been replaced by x. Drake is on that A list level. Those guys would have been big but more on a at best Charlie puth or lil baby level where people will enjoy them but they also don’t appeal to people’s parents etc
Experimental is mostly pop. Griselda and at times dreamville is only rappers I know is keeping hip hop sound alive.
So true hip hop is getting better because now that mainstream is falling down underground is finally getting recognised I just wish people would acknowledge that old school underground can out match anything today in mainstream and even underground
If everybody can do it then it's not special anymore. 💯
Hip Hop can never die because it’s not a genre. It’s just all the genres combined. It’s actually the final genre as all the other ones died because they fall into hip hop at this point. This means I can make a rock album and call it hip hop then drop classical music and just put lyrics over it and call it hip hop. Hip Hop is the final genre.
FINALLY. SOMEONE WHO GIVES ROCKY AND TYLER THEIR CREDIT
I don’t listen to most of the new stuff and I stoped hoping in a new golden era. I just listen to the older songs. That’s enough for me. And if I need new music, I will listen to Oldschool and also Newschool underground rap or to new albums of the old rappers.
