They’re just older folks who hate on the newer generations and are mad that they’re not up to date with what the kids like and what’s hot nowadays
“But rappers used to spit about real shit and genuine problems in our world while current rappers just talk about money, bitches, killing, and drugs!”
Guess what, all those same rappers they revere are now starring in children’s movies or coming out of retirement 2 decades later because they blew all their money on cars and jewelry that depreciated 10 times the moment it touched their neck
Sorry, but you really should’ve just bought some Johnny Dang grills so you didn’t have to drop another “Conscious Hip-Hop” album or tour at age 67 to pay for your dental bill, gramps
I just checked out Playboi Carti. Lyrics are weak and he won’t shut the fuck up in between his lines. Does this guy have tourettes or something? Can’t go more than a second without saying “yuh” or “uh”, it’s like he’s trying to beatbox over his own song. And I know mumble rap is a term used too often but I was literally reading the lyrics as I was listening to this dude and I could still barely understand what the fuck he was even saying.
And before you call me old, I’m the same age as Playboi Carti. I don’t even disagree with your point about modern rap being just as good as older stuff, I just expected a better example.
Close minded boomer brain unable to adapt to the newest influences in current day music. Also potentially ableist
Imagine if people acted like this for every progression of music in the past. “Wow this is trash, they’re not even hymning”. “I can’t believe they’re not throat singing”. “This is a sorry excuse compared to Opera singing”. “How come this Bach fellow’s pieces don’t have a voice for vocalists?”
Cartinese is the future of music
Maybe Playboi Carti could try throat singing
Lol a lot of his fans dislike his upcoming album because he doesn’t have as many adlibs as his previous albums
