Ap is bang on thats exactly how i feel im 51 got into hip hop age 10.hip hop was so huge in the uk when i was growing up.i think hip hop is kinda still alive but its older ppl keeping real hip hop alive.young ppl are not realy listening to real hip hop they are playing garbage can crap peace
Apathy isn’t lying about the best time period, because he’s 2 months older than me. The difference today is the radio/ mainstream only plays the bullshit. The underground is still alive and well, it’s just not acknowledged by the masses. People nowadays hear the what the mainstream pumps out and say rap sucks now. Good shit is still out there if you know where to find it. With that being said, the era we’re in now is totally different from the 90’s unfortunately
Hip Hop as we once knew it, is in fact dead. In the sense that the gatekeepers of Hip Hop generally don't allow actual talents or skilled people in the mainstream industry anymore. The shift in lyrical content and capabilities in the mainstream is really bad. When horribly off beat talentless Sexyy Red can make it and someone highly skilled as Ja'king The Divine or Vega7 The Ronin f.e. might never get their big break, it really puts things into perspective. I bet ya, if Em didn't put Griselda on the map, even they would be just as obscure and unknown as the previous artists i just mentioned. The culture will never die of course. For every wack artist there will always be the talented counterpart for people like Apathy, you, me and Hip Hop heads as a whole.
no. it was always like that. nothing has changed. sugahill gang blew up with not just sampled but a completely stolen record. all hip hop music was just party songs until melle mel. there was always frauds in hip hop just like there was always underrated artists. today it's the same thing. it's not like radios don't ever play talented rappers nowadays and it's not like back in the day radios didn't play trash rappers. it's all the same.
The sheer quantity of music, how to access it (streaming, bandcamp, soundcloud, etc.) is a lot. the landscape is so smeared that it's hard for key albums like a common/pete rock or this new Blu album to stick out...
I don't think Hip-Hop is dead. There's golden era babies everywhere. But unfortunately they're underground most of the time. So when the mainstream fails to acknowledge the truly talented and up and coming. And puts their money behind literal trash 24/7. It can definitely make it seem like Hip-Hop is dead for sure in my opinion.
Hip Hop will never die. At its core we still got Emcees who got the hunger to keep on striving reviving their careers. Common & Pete rock still doing they thing, Black thought continues to drop quality. I saw the video from Apathy he made some solid points. About the culture itself pretty much being dead because its a larger wide range of new age fans who didn't grow up in the era of rap where we buy physical copies of music. Where it be Cassettes, Vinyl records or CDS. Thats why we have the OGS who reminds the community of where it all started from.
Apathy and misanthropikone i definitely definitely definitely agree with everything in this video as a hip-hop fan at the age of 5 im a early 80s baby i been listening to rap/hip-hop since 1987 the memories my first time buying a cassette tape for the first time in early fall of 1994 my first buying cds early summer of 1996 and my first buying vinyl records late spring of 2012 but i been collecting records since 1989 i been through this experience and i still buying physical media till this day i put physical media over streaming all day but i still use streaming for listening without caring my physicals easy listen to your tablet and your phone put physical media always king. That's why I love the 80s 90s and 2000s to 2009. I love this hip-hop part series i will be waiting for more parts peace to Apathy the dopest underground mc i got to get his albums on cd and peace to you brother misanthropikone keep on doing what you doing hip-hop always lives peace
Imagine going out of your way to make a whole ass YT video like this without acknowledging RJ Payne EP. It's easy to prove that you are an authority on this subject.... oh yea.. a YT complaint would be easier..

ppl argue just support the best artist as if companies dont gatekeep new artists and keep the underground, UNDERGROUND

@@TheUpgrade101 ???
Stop it. Hip-hop will never die just ask Grammy award winning Nas.
Winning B.S awards, selling records, UA-cam views, etc having nothing at all to do with Hip-Hop Culture!
This is kinda the oldest conversation in the book. And Ap is a commie.
Apathy is a commie??? LMAO. I don't think so.
