Besides Kendrick(who feels like a weird anomaly to me, but maybe I’m wrong), who’s the biggest artist you can think of that doesn’t have a “hate movement”?
Like I swear once an artist gets the A-list, some automated system of hate bots gets deployed or some shit, and people get convinced to join in
I don’t spend a ton of time online, besides listening to music and posting here, but it has to be mostly old school guys I’d think. Like Nas and Lil Wayne. Though Wayne used to have his own little band of haters back in the day.
Of modern artists…maybe 21 Savage? I feel like I know people who don’t fuck with his music, but they acknowledge it is just personal preference.
That is just the internet though right? It is so easy for a few people to band together and get their voice amplified on here, even just a few loud haters can start a whole thing.
I feel like this is the first decade where we won’t see a shift in the mainstream sound. What do you think?
My homeboy also dropped a short but sweet project buddachild.bandcamp.com/album/hurry-up-and-buy
idk, seems like mainstream hip hop has changed a lot in the last decade and is still changing, even if I’m not the biggest fan of the direction of the mainstream.
but I do think hip hop is about to lose its grip on the lead genre if it hasn’t already.
What do you think is coming up behind it? I’ve been sort of feeling the same thing but I’m so out of touch with any popular music outside of rap that I don’t have any clue what to expect. My kids who listen to music heavily (18 and 15) either listen to rap or like…vaguely sad indie rock, so I’m very out of the loop.
