Soundcloud Rap as a genre changed hip hop history forever. Unfortunately, "soundcloud rap" today is about as relevant as it was when it first started. This is the rise and fall of soundcloud rap.

Sewerperson is a SoundCloud rapper I listen too alot!!!
I heard Fb Marlo pretty dope
There's a 15 year cycle. An artist or style gets big. The gatekeepers and old heads hate on it. The generation who grew up on it grows up. That generation becomes the new gatekeepers, taste makers, and artists. That artist who was previously "poser music" 15 years earlier is now viewed as legendary in that scene due to nostalgia and what's popular in the scene currently being heavily influenced by it. Then that generation grows up to be grumpy old gatekeepers only to say things like "kids these days" and "back in my day we had real *blank*"
I just dont like 99% of the rap just the top 1%
bruh you a prophet
To be honest, that's just life.
Ok, but things were actually better when I was a kid though, right?
Damn, truth hurts.
The whole SoundCloud era of 2014-2018 was vital for how the direction of the hip-hop scene was going to go, especially the present day. So many influential artists came up during that time & the underground scene rn can be an example of how that whole generation changed the game as we know it
2014-17*
those were good times
it’s fin be tik tok rap mfs don’t change shit
@@Gonnie6969 nah bruh u gotta count juice wrld, Deko, early slay world, hella sketchy, hinoni, lil Tecca, 2018 was a very influential year it was also the year die lit came out
Every SoundCloud rapper is ass
What’s crazy is I hated the SoundCloud era during its peak. I had the old head, lyrical spiritual miracle mindset. But I slowly fell deeply in love with the energy created and I wish more than anything that we could experience it again
Same homie. And it was always after the SoundCloud rapper died. X was the only one I fucked with when he was on his come up and his peak

I've literally sat here for almost 2 or so hours just reading everyone's comments and it's so heart warming to see people talk about this era again and what the music and artists mean to them the impacts are definitely amazing, I love you all ❤️
Real shit
@@burymeinjhenny918 yo do you have a life or are you a 30 year old loser who lives under your moms basement

Bunch of pussies
To be fair. Even before Juice Wrld died, rap was changing a lot in 2019 compared to 2017. Though the era would have lasted much longer had X didn't die. That created a void for the sub-genre.
To be fair, they weren't rapping.
I agree... It's crazy if you look at monthly Spotify listens. Juiceworld and X both pull 30 million monthly streams.
X almost 4 years after his passing is still in the top 100 listened artists and MOST of his music (imo all the good emo/screamo stuff) isn't even on the app...
Juiceworld has collabs with tons of artists, has a ton of music on the app and still has music being released that sounds finished.
X barely has any collabs, most of his posthumous work sounds unfinished and is unfinished, and he still pulls the same ears regardless... 17 and ? Are actually giant in terms of the ears they pull. Two albums basically carry 30 million monthly listens, which is why they released such unfinished work. Vice city just dropped so others are certainly coming, I don't think X as an artist will ever die out which is insane because he's been gone for so long...
Considering the abuse allegations, the constant jail time, the controversial nature of X outside of being an artist, X literally carried the movement, and the fact remains despite people's love or hate for him, his death cemented him just like in his own words towards Kurt Cobain "as a character forever". X unironically got his goal of achieving legendary status through dying as a character. For better or for worse atleast he got what he wanted out of this life in the end.
Yes I agree. Definitely A Void. Especially with Mac And X Being So Close it was very depressing.
@@mymomsbasement69 you're not wrong. Although some of x's songs are rap and i doubt the likes of Kanye would've done so much work with him if he didn't respect it. However imo X's greatest works were his soul songs. Try listening to his catalogue i wont lie there's a lot of trash but every artist is like that even Michael Jackson. Its sad however X was never given a chance to grow and reach his full potential.
They were all trash
SoundCloud rap may be dead now, but the legacy of SoundCloud isn't going to go away. Btw banger video so far, great work as always.
There will continue to be rappers getting big off soundcloud. Idk about Spotify but fuck that shit lmao
Nah it’s been alive you just don’t know good underground music
@@givenchymamajama3859 BRO this what I been saying, SoundCloud rap is fire when everyone is still underground. Obviously the era he’s talking abt is an exception but right now I love that it’s back to niche artist not everyone fw.

why tf you got peep in there💀💀💀
@@GrailDarkTints for all the shit he gets, he’s one of the pioneers of the sad boy 2015-17 shit.
peep is trash. Denzel over him easily
It's kind of upsetting that this era is over, I almost feel like I didn't enjoy it or participate in it enough thinking it would last forever. Hopefully we can look back at the current era the same way.
THAT ERA ISN'T OVER, ITS JUST " HEALING" AFTER ALL WHO PASSED AWAY! KINDA LIKE " REBIRTH" , IF U WILL???🤔 THE ☝🏽 TO BLOW UP, IS CLOSER THAN U 🤔🤔🎧🎧🎤🔥✌🏽✊🏽👍🏽
I wouldn't say it's over its just evolving. People like lil darkie chauncy666 and spider gang are still kicking. Not as big, except darkie who's still growing and is relatively big compared to peers.
these vids make me realize how insanely fast the years are going by. Rip to all those legends. We lost too many in the last 5 years.
ong it feels like only yesterday when i was 14 discovering all that new underground music for the first time. now i'll be 20 in a few days and it just feels like life will never be the same as it once was. tbh i barely even like today's rap music at all. all i listen to is anything alternative and unique. it's hard to find shit like that, but thanks to the artists that paved the way, there's now such a variety of artists out here now.
Didn't lose enough
Facts bro i graduated Hs in 2012 turning 30 years old this year. Time wait for no one! Time is more valuable then money imo cus u cant get it back! Live in the moment! Stay blessed

Cant forget about x
Don’t forget about X, dude was extremely talented.
Peep goated
i was 17 in 2016, i remember hearing X on soundcloud and LOSING MY MIND. I was a HUGE Peep fangirl too ... and i'm so happy I got to see it blow up the way it did.. when we lost them, you could def feel it in the community. The spark was gone and everyone was just sad. It was an amazing time to have been a teenager bc i do think X was our generation's Tupac and the fact that we got a legend who emotionally helped his fans the way Pac did is gold and something lots of kids won't get to experience.

It’s so crazy you made this because no shit a year ago I was telling my friends for weeks about “the day the music died” when juice was the last to go. Thank you for making this!
Yeah- X, Juice, and Peep the faces of generation z's adolescence will remain forever young. While we grow old and lose our youth they will remain youthful evermore. Stuck in an eternity of angst and raw energy. May they rest in peace.

Being in college during the sound cloud era was just perfect timing… I still listen to my playlists every now and then just to revisit some memories 😢
Same here lol 😂
I found my old phone I had playlists with thousands of songs on them mostly songs from people who are dead rip
I remade a SoundCloud account so I lost my 2016-2018 playlists holy do I wish I could see them again
Man I was in middle school
I was the same but with high school.
This was such a wild time for music. Peep, X and Juice are all artists i still listen to today. They say bad things come in 3s and peep, x and juice's deaths fit that too a tee. Great video.
Legends don’t make it past 21💔
This was my middle school era. Miss these days and XXXTentacion mostly. He actually died right around my area I’m a 3 minute drive from where he died. I went to the vigil the day after and gave his grandmother a self made card. Super sad day.
Man I’ll related hella I live in south flordia Deerfield was a 30 min drive where X died I probably was just becoming a freshman or in the 8th grade never cried over a rapper till X not even at my grandma funeral I don’t really be crying like that’s unless it’s something so personal just listening to Kodak X and the other rappers from the SoundCloud era like smokepurpp post Malone just made me love life I started to smoke weed in the 6 th grade I was also a pretty bad kid selling drugs robbing doing home invasions just being a jhit in flordia iykyk 😂but when I just listen to these rappers made me feel happy even being at a young age I felt depressed cause my life wasn’t the same from the other kids in school when I moved out to north flordia being used to being a melting pot of races I was now in area where it was mainly wealthy whites so I felt out a place even with their kids my age but all the music from the SoundCloud era made life’s enjoyable those endless summer nights where it felt like a weeks worth of events being in love with my middle school crush those where my happiest days of my life from 2016-2018 all my friends I made during that time I imagine was never leaving my life but slowly they did first it was my crush I was her best friend we had a fight which leds was not talking till my junior year during those year after when X died my high-school years fell in streets hard I think it was cause I didn’t have Mia in my life no more she was the one who kept me ground from crashing out truly she was the only person I loved but for her she forgot about the promise we made abt forever being in each other lives now it was just one sided I would keep track of her n I what heard that she became a “hoe”but I know she was just looking for love n she kept choosing the wrong guys who would just fuck n leave then talk abt it n I knew sum of them they be bragging about in my face without knowing I loved this girl she would always be at party’s I would see her sometime just for us to look each other in the eyes for a second they we would curse each other out 😂 they moments where I thought she was fucking with me but my pride was too big cause she the one who broke my heart in which made me turn to drugs the street life a life without her it not like I couldn’t get me another baddie but I’m a Nigga who hates people only I few a I care for n I was the man in the city for my. Age so fucking was easy never dated someone tho to make this short we reconnected again in junior year the year I went back to school I basically drop out of school after middle school just didn’t go only for my exams the first days we would look at each other n she always gave me a stank face but one day I’m lost in the hallways n we passed each other she look at me n say “why are you staring are you lost or something “ n I say yea I actually am then her whole attitude changes n become the sweet girl I remember in middle school with the pretty smile ever she help me to get to class n then she gave me a ride home after when she saw me asking people for a ride when we get my driveway we park n start talking idk how long but I remember at end she said that we almost talked for 2 hours just catching up and laughing at our memories she told me that this was the longest she had ever talk to a guy before without they trying sum n I don’t remember what I said but at this time my emotions where so mixed up I didn’t know how to feel happy or mad since she abandoned me before but after this moment we was together every day for half the school year then I got jump by 10 people n almost kidnapp I had knife wounds. Guns where involed I felt like this made her look at me different cause when I was with her I was sly n just being normal not acting like a demon like I was know as but we kept talking it’s new year n we where texting n she was talking how sad she was this year n how I made her happ n that this year gonna be the year she becomes happy n I ask her if I can help her do that basically asking her out I didn’t know that she was in love with someone at this time a popular football player who made feel like she was so she said no but always saying how much she love me n that meant a lot to her this just made me so depressed I Block her on everything even tho I didn’t want to I remember my snap kept getting banned so I had to make new ones every time she added me but I was mad n sad cause the week after she got with the football player so I stop going to school after missing so many days I got kicked out after Christmas break n we had stop talking completely in which I became bad on pills n started trapping hard so good dat I caught a fed investigation so my mom made me flee the country till it clam down 6 months pass till I go back to flordia by then it’s our senior year this year up I dint go back to school even when the principal told me to return cause of her being there she jump by the football player then started to date thus another guy she looked happy like actually did this time I wasn’t happy but I was at the same time even her brothers n father told me that’s this guy actually cares for her which is great but now I realize that’s she gone forever I’ve told we gonna get back together when we are older but at that point I would say no cause the damage is already gone my addiction is at a all time high always depressed I didn’t know where to start my life n now I posting my life story on the comments in UA-cam I miss the old days of 2016 n 2018 lost X n her at the same time basically n for her to reconnect with me acted like she really did care just to abandon me n get a new. Nigga is crazy I’m still recovering every relationship of mine is toxic from the start cause I only loved 1 person n the new people are just strangers who hurt me in the end so it doesn’t hurt as much if I didn’t really loved dem in the first place I know I’m a get over this idk when tho I love u all have a bless day n sorry for posting this 😂
@@hmfflippa5372i enjoyed reading this man hope everything is going well god bless you.
In my opinion the 1st Soundcloud wave wasn't palatable enough for the mainstream audience, but it influenced the kids that were going to become the future artists. The 2nd wave kinda warmed people up to new sounds and new ideas but the quality of the music still wasn't there and the audiences weren't that big. Then the 3rd/4th waves of artists were the ones that became mainstream because they had the right conditions, Soundcloud had a lot more users by now and there was hype around underground artists. For example think how Raider Klan influenced Yung Lean who in turn influenced Peep who then influenced Juice WRLD.
I agree for the most part. However some of those early X songs… idk how they went mainstream. Or maybe X just had a crazy fanbase ??
@@PatrickCc x had a crazy fan base that just knew he was go make it big because of his unique image and flow
bro thats a really good observation
@@PatrickCc I love your channel
@@PatrickCc bro I started using SC as "Rei 856" 6 months ago and id still recommend for new artist,
I will never forget how SoundCloud music made me feel. I will never forget the utter excitement I felt just looking through all these artists who had a passion for music
theres plenty of artists on soundcloud if you just look around. lil darkie, 83hades, zotiyac, reckz, slump satan, plenty of others
Lol 🤣
Soundcloud sucks
@nahtekcuf Its the reason why mumble rap exists, its the reason why rap nowadays is trash, it always sucked
@@Aria23331 old head
You really summarized this era/community so well especially with the time line of the OG soundcloud rappers into the newer ones. I love this video.
What's so unfortunate about the untimely death of XXXTENTACION. Is he stood out as the only "SoundCloud rapper" who had real talent! Not beholden to 1 particular genre. Just a very talented, but flawed individual. Sharing his emotions through his music. Really believe he would've had a lasting career in the music industry. RIP
Agreed, he stood out to me the most, especially since he genuinely cared about his supporters and helped so many people with mental health and he preached about the law of attraction, astral projection and spirituality, he was an old soul.
For sure mann, thats why hes still considered such a legend. 😞🙏
so fuckin sad it took the death of X and Juice to save hip-hop.. their message will live on forever like Pac and Big
I really wanna mention 6 dogs as an influential golden age SoundCloud artist as well. He is one of the clearest examples of cloud rap, and a lot of his peers respected him for it.
May he Rest In Peace🙏🏻
Fr we can’t forget about him
Rip 6 dogs
he should have also mentioned sybyr
Thank you.
I'm an old head, I guess, and I never liked SoundCloud/mumble rap. I wasn't super critical of it, because it's clear people LOVED it. Your videos are great and insightful, but you glossed over the clear cultural implications this era of rap faced, particularly with fame, drugs and clout as you named 3 former stars of the era who died super young.
Keep putting out great content. I'm a parent of 3 and I need this to understand them.
Props to you for taking the time to listen and understand rather than just judge.
ur a great dad.. a great person for even being open minded like that, shout out to u man
@@acura-integurl I appreciate that, maybe this will help.
@@team3gaming749 much appreciated, it always amazes me to hear people who are parents become the thing their parents were - bitching and moaning about the younger generation. It's dumb and short sighted
Thanks old head
I almost didn’t watch this video after I saw the title but I’m so glad I did. This is such a good piece about such a cool moment in music and honestly culture in the 10’s. I was 20-21 during the 15-16 peak and I saw so many of these artists live. The energy was something I haven’t seen anywhere since it was euphoric. Even tho my life was terrible at that point I still feel nostalgic for this moment in music. Being the same age as those artists it’s amazing to see Denzel and the like grow into matured artist especially as life has changed with them. The youthful rage and party music gets replaced with more developed introspective stuff and it’s really cool to see that.
thanks for making this video! made me feel mad nostalgic, what’s crazy is all the memories it brought back, i remember where i was when i found out Peep and X died, and when i first heard goodbye and good riddance a couple months later, i remember being 16/ 17 smoking w my friends listening to that shit, n then being 18 and seeing trippie redd live. crazy how that era is over now, and i didn’t even realise when it ended.
The fact SpeakerKnockerz didn't even get a single mention in this video absolutely blows my mind as he was really ONE OF the FIRST to have the soundcloud sound, before denzel, before X before all of them.. Respect to them but SK was and is still one of the OG's to this music wave.... R.I.P SK
Patrick cc doesn't really know shit lmao don't expect alot... The title of itself is false lmao
If you watched the video he did acknowledge that he wouldnt be able to mention everyone that played a pivitol role
There are too many to say in one vid but yea you are right.
@@sahulianhooligan7046 that's the thing though SK was the pivotal role... he's the one who really turned it into what it was
@@yvngfrap8341 speakerknockerz? definitely not. He was poppin in 2012-2014 but nobody remembers his impact in the soundcloud wave because it just wasn't that big. He was doing his own thing and getting some attention but we can't say he was THE turning point in the direction of soundcloud music.
This reminds me of the grunge era from the 90s. Of course, the music and cultural impact is way different, but a lot of the big names in both movements died because of premature causes due to drug use, mental illness, s*icide, and risky lifestyles. history repeats itself.
I love your compassion between both Genre’s as they both merged from the underground to the Main Stream. both being sub genre’s using the same elements as their founding genre(Hip Hop & Other Genre’s = SoundCloud Rap/ Rock & Punk = Grunge) yet adding their own twist to the genre thus creating something different due to different inspiration sources and Exploring/Being Super Creative within their Limitations of Equipment. I honestly believe there’s a new wave of something waiting in the shadows. Something always pops up, we’re in generation of social media exposure . There’s plenty of music, inspiration and Creativity left in the Music world waiting to be heard. Right now everything is just moving too fast.

I haven’t even clicked the video and I see the title and I’m like “that’s when juice died”

Bro the I am God beat 👁👄
Yes! The Soundcloud era was the era of the producer. Clams, Metro, Pierre, Young Chop, Milan & Capsule Corp, Yung Gud, Cardo, Soldado and so many more. I honestly think I followed as many producers as I did actual rappers on there, and the fact that they could repost tracks they’d worked on was huge.
Everytime I think about SoundCloud Rap
It just floods my mind with nostalgia and sadness. That a majority of them are either dead or fell off (for various reasons). Still huge props to those who held their ground (Uzi, Trippie, Playboi, etc)
Trippie, Carti, and Uzi are exactly why I don’t like it when people talk about the “SoundCloud era” like it was all bad. All three of those guys have progressed in their respective lanes and are legit superstars now, and let’s not pretend like Juice and X wouldn’t have been even bigger had they survived.
yo whease u also here?
whease
Crazy how this video and also the conments no one has mentioned SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD holy hell 😂 this dude is also still holding strong for the soundcloud artists
Famous Dex became a druggy, rich the kid just fell off. Madentyo fell off. Lil yachty still somewhat here. Lil pump let’s not go there
My best friend/ex boyfriend was a soundcloud rapper. Even back then in my small town, we had our own little community. This was around 2014-2016 It was our own collective. We threw our own parties and shows. It was an amazing time. I knew about so many lesser known artists back then before they blew up. I was a huge kodak fan. Our collective got a lot of our inspiration from OF. i got major nostalgia watching your video about it. Everything you said was facts.
2014-2019 I was in my teens going through really hard times battling with depression and SHWB, X and Ski, $B and others really helped through it but looking back now that I'm healthy and have grown I think maybe it had my stuck on the internet alot more because of the culture and community being so addicting and dope and made you feel like you was in a group only few knew about making you feel more secluded I guess but regardless I still listen to alot of the music and is still such nostalgia to these great memories of all of these legends they really left an imprint on my life even if im better now I will always miss this era even though some of them still drop some bangers especially the OGs
I miss Juice. He arguably brought up "emo rap" with a more melodic sound despite being able to spit bars. Had a massive impact.
fr he can spit
Dude hed be doing so much cool shit and pushing music and the genre in general so much further. I could only imagine a juice rock album or more of his hype shit.
If only he didn’t mention drugs every song
i think lil peep and x brought up emo rap, juice kinda put together what x and peep did
i would say kid cudi was the first
Famous Dex is always forgotten.
The irony
I love lilb man. He wished me happy birthday when I was 15. Will never forget
@Patrick Cc: Honestly this is ur best vid man keep it up. I still come back to this frequently it's just sucha banger. 💯
My highschool life was dominated by soundcloud rap. I still remember the 2015 day with my friends couped up in his manual Honda, baked out of our minds vibing to white iverson. I'm super glad that music was with me during those times.
I’m also glad I got to experience the SoundCloud era of the mid 2010s when I was in high school, I still remember the day I discovered playboi carti in 2016, one year before he got mainstream.

@@charliesynclaire3330 It’s age and nostalgia bro. I’m 42 and grew up in the punk rock/skate scene. Played in and band and lived the lifestyle to the max.
I look back on those days with the same nostalgia as you just described perfectly. The DIY ethos, and Uber creativity was truly something special.
I watched the SoundCloud scene develop from the sidelines, but I gotta tip my hat. I was stoked to see the next generation create something so culturally influential outside the corporate purview. Fans and artists alike should be proud of what was created.
I wonder if we can expect another such scene from generation TikTok.. my guess is no, but I’m a cynical, greying punk rocker lol
DAMN, it's amazing to think how 6 years pass so fast
it feels like yesterday when I was in high school discovering X, $uicideboy$, bones, Lil Peep, pump, smokepurrp and many others, nowadays, I'm in college, huge metalhead and punk, but still loving and listening many of the songs that defined an era of me
*Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.*
Have you ever listened to lil lotus, smrtdeath? They started out doing soundcloud rap too but nowdays doing more punk inspired music.
also ghostemane he got that suicideboys vibes but way way more metal.
@@McDudes of course i know them, i first heard of smrtdeath and lil lotus in 2017
tbh they sound more like average pop punk/post hardcore instead of regular real punk like discharge, napalm death, chaos UK, Disorder, DRI and good stuff like that

@ Hell yeah I started listen to them back in 2017 as well. And yeah I guess they are more pop punk then typical punk (I don't really listen to punk at all). BTW lil lotus has a punk band as well, forgot the name though, they do more what I guess is more real punk.
edit: I found the band name it's: If I Die First, check them out and let me know if I'm out of the blue and its not punk at all lol.
I often forget the sub genres of other genres. This video made me want to appreciate SoundCloud more.
I’ll never be able to comprehend that we lost 3 great artists in a span of 3 years as there were peaking or recently blew up from very different causes it actually makes me so sad thinking about rip too all the rappers that were taken way too soon ❤️
Well 2 of them were the same cause.. but agreed otherwise. RIP
damn you really brought back alot of fond memories and you hit like all the og legend soundcloud rappers. you def did your homework. well done
He didn’t do his homework he literally lived it and was apart of it in ways LMAO
@@dannytrojan7508 ye
Damn, its funny to see you kids thinking these songs created only a few years ago by mumble rappers you will all forget about in another few years are "legendary". LOLOL
@@mymomsbasement69 nobody cares bigdog
@@mymomsbasement69 I mean they are legendary what are you talking about a lot of them created new ways to get into the industry without labels it reminds me a lot of the 70s and 80s Undergound punk scene in a way you can’t deny that lil peep didn’t start a whole new wave and style or lil pump didn’t add a certain aesthetic into the genre
Bones and Yung Lean had such a profound impact on me as a troubled teen back in 2014-2015. Saying that they had an impact on me feels like an understatement. I’m honestly very happy that I got to see SoundCloud rap evolve through my teens and into my early twenties. I remember people talking about Lil B when I was 14 in 2011, and I could have never guessed that this was just the foundation for what would become such a huge genre. It makes so sad that so many talented artists died along the way, and it definitely feels weird getting older while they will essentially remain the same age forever. Artists like lil peep and x left such a huge impact on me later on. I could have never guessed that so many artists that I was listening to like peep x juice 6dogs sketchy etc in 2017 would pass away so unexpectedly. Now that we’re in 2022, I feel like we are experiencing a fallout as a result of this gigantic crash. I honestly felt like I grew up with these artists, and although I’m really happy to see artists like Yung Lean getting legendary status, I’m also sad to see it go. SoundCloud rap left such a huge imprint on me, and honestly I don’t think I ever want to let that go. There are so many more artists that I left out that I listened to but those were the ones that really stood out to me personally.
Bones the goat
Watch the Noisey Yung lean documentary if you haven’t. It’s really good.
Yung Lean a legend for sure!
What it do inspire you to kill fuck birches do drugs and not give a fuck?! Lmfao I mean wtf you taking about
Should prolly check out some real rappers... talkin pre 2008
Muchisimas gracias por tus videos Guillermo!
Bruh the accuracy in all of this dude‘s facts and opinions is crazy accurate his content has evolved so much keep it up Patrick💯
None of these new artists creating a wave like X and them did. Its crazy to look back at all the performances. X use to have some chaotic ass shit goin on 😂 Seem like nobody that has came out recently captured the same amount of raw energy from the fans how it was back in 2016-2018
Juicewrld was the last new rapper with that type of wave
give sybyr/syringe his credit, he’s the dark horse of the underground
He got his commupance tho
@@deletetrmnl syringe was a visionary and the only thing he was missing is consistency
@@teratoma. he has a pretty huge discography and has released music under many different names and accounts, so i wouldn’t really say that i agree. nowadays it seems like he’s lacking in music though, which seems to be a popular opinion
This happened in my late teen years and it was such a potent moment in musical history that feels like was just ripped away and never talked about anymore it’s such a different culture now
soundcloud rap was rap on its deathbed for sure. last real rappers was boosie and webbie no question
Yeah, brings me back when I was in high school, things were just so different back then and I miss that era so much, the memes and X and Juice WRLD’s death hit me hard, it just ain’t the same anymore.
@@jayoh360what is wrong with SoundCloud rap? is it bad because it's different
Thank you for sharing this!
thanks for all the videos man! without you i wouldn’t be able to learn much more!
yo you should check out HBOII, i feel like he could potentially fill that void
Man as a juice fan, anytime I hear something about juice i get chills that run through out my body. X and Juice and many others def helped soundcloud grow and its sad that we have to lose so many of them.
🤓🤓🤓🤓
juice didnt really help soundcloud grow, he came up later. u might be thinking of lil peep tho
That statement with a young group of talented and doing it for fun soundcloud rappers.. I feel as if if we be able to have a larger group it would be amazing, if you think hard enough, the more, the more they adore
The biggest mistake in music is losing Peep, X and Juice. Ripples in time and musical creation no one can match.
famous dex doesnt get enough credit for his early 2014-2016 soundcloud stuff too, no mention.
Big fax
yo please take the time out to check my music! the visuals are literally movie like!
Bro was dropping a video every day back in 2016.
the cycle has repeated itself many times before, this was just an era that didn’t last very long. it kinda reminds me to the biggie and tupac era which didn’t last very long but their music is still pretty relevant until this day. i guess certain eras only last until someone dies which is very sad.
Toxic competition creates a failing label. Look at Smokepurp recently.
@@derrickclark5364 you’re right man! no matter how long an era lasts, they always end up contributing and inspiring the next one! history always repeats itself and not only in music.
Music is always fast with styles. People wanna hear something new or else it becomes too repetitive. Its always been like that. Most music genres are only popular for around 3-4 years before a new style takes over. Thats why early 80s music sounds so different from late 80s music for example.
SoundCloud era is just the newer version of the Snap/ ringtone rap era, nothing special just a product of it's time
Very very interesting and informative video dude. Thanks so much.
SoundCloud nowadays is great for listening to underground dubstep and riddim
This was literally my era. Even dudes like Drake and G Eazy used SoundCloud at first. I wouldn’t doubt it there’s documentaries about this on TV n mainstream platforms in the decades to come, just like how they have specials about Rock n Roll and such now. I will forever treasure the SoundCloud Era.
Bro you're the guy that comments on all the suicide boys reactions and x reactions I honestly respect how dedicated you are dude. I still am the same too
@@AyaDaBerry thanks 🤙🏻
Drake didn't use SoundCloud first. Drake started making music around 2005 long before Sound cloud and his 1st official mixtape was So Far Gone which back in 2009. SoundCloud didn't even exist back then
@@tjhicks3600 drake has music on SoundCloud
@@austinb3560 you said Drake used SoundCloud at first. No he didnt
The best part of SoundCloud is that there was always something for someone. If you didn’t like emo rap then you had trap metal melodic trap. There was so much creativity that it feels so good to go back and listen to artists I didn’t check out then only to find out that they fill an exact niche that I’ve been itching to hear.
yoo, im tryna bring these types of feels back! pleassee check me out
This video is seriously on point you even mentioned metro zu and gothmoney that’s crazy, you’re probably the best UA-camr out here
RIP Juice and X. They both made music so unique and goated
we are now in "tiktok rap" the world goes backwards instead of forwards 💀💀💀
Dont hate on stuff jus bc it's new. Everything evolves, and it's not even that it's bad its just we prefer stuff made in our generations. It's been like that forever tho. The way things were are legendary and the new stuff sucks. Been like that for hundreds of years lol
I’ll never forget SoundCloud. Still the easiest and best way to find new artists and sounds still
yo please take the time out to check my music! the visuals are literally movie like!
SoundCloud is also an absolutely vital component of the bass music scene where the default listening format is sets and mixes, something that maintstream music platforms like Spotify do not support
DIVINE COUNCIL was truly my intro into SoundCloud rap back in mid 2016, I heard them on our local rap station and that’s where it all started for me. I listened to literally everyone and just hearing my old playlist from 4 years ago sends me wayyyyyyyy the fuck back, miss those days of chiefin to early uzi, carti and all them
Hip Hop is always evolving. I've loved it since 1979. I agree that some of these guys were industry plants. Gatekeeper rappers priced themselves out of the new wave, so the industry changed directions. Similar to the change from Blues to R&B to Rock and Roll to Pop to Disco to New Wave to Hip Hop to Rap. Rappers don't care about Hip Hop, just about fame.
Lmfao, there's plenty of ways to get fame, and rap is not the easiest way to get fame. People literally take videos of themselves staring at a camera for 10 seconds and upload it to tiktok and get paid hella just for views 💀 why would they choose rap if they didn't care and just wanted the fame. If thats the case, these rappers must be retarded then, there's rappers who've been in the industry for years and have gotten no where. But they still continue doing it, not for the fame, because they wanna make music lol.
@@Wakeupisaiah A lot of younger people try to rap because it is a cool thing to do. It is only in the last 10-15 years that you could be any kind of online "influencer," and even some of them think it is cool to rap.
X and Juice were gonna be the faces of our generation. Both so talented and gone too soon
Facts , maybe in another lifetime tho.
Nah bro x was about to get locked up for a long time for DV, home invasion and 5 counts of tampering with a witness lol. He was done for, that’s why he changed up so drastically in the last few months. Human garbage
@@nos4me "human garbage" are you stupid x is known as one of the nicest and generous rappers of all time
AND PEEP
yo please take the time to check me out!
i just learned about a whole parallel history i knew nothing about. kinda cool! thanx, man
first video ive seen, great job dude. just as i remember it
Juice Wrld was my goat. He brought something that just sticks with me till this day and that was vulnerability. He wasn’t afraid to express himself in his music. But in songs like Barbarian and No Pump he wasn’t afraid to show you that he was a real nigga behind all that sad music.
same
Ok?
Juice was an emotional fruitcake
@@jacklantern7479 😂😂😂kinda true but he did have sum pretty good slngs
@@yaboique6650 nah bro was too talented
Hearing you pay homage to emo rap is so real because of how I found you years ago was you talking about emo rap and touring with emo rappers. Your audience has definitely changed tho but that’s not a bad thing. This is great content bro. Keep it up
I’ll never forget my roots. Still love all those guys !
The message that sticks out the most to me is originality, genuine love, and hard work are what make rappers/artists stand out no matter the platform. People copy swag cause they want a little clout. Clout chasers destroying legacies.
You are very good at what you do. I like your content. Keep up the good work.
I will remember of soundcloud rap and what it brought to me. Listening to Peep, X, Juice, Trippie and Suicideboys at that time was really helping me and emo rap also. Thanks to them and RIP Gus, Jahseh and Jarad.
I started watching you in 2017 with the soundcloud content and it's crazy to see you've made it this far. This felt like a really well put together documentary and it covers a lot of important soundcloud history, nice work
Even though I was 15-16 when souncloud rap got big, I always leaned more towards 90s rap. I was definitely hating on the idea of SoundCloud rap for a while without even knowing some of my favorite artists started there. I actually learned a lot from this video thank you. I feel like I didn’t “waste” my time on UA-cam for the first time in a while
My guy Patrick . You are amazing.
Such a great video, glad to see you paying respect to such legends and documenting the movement. Without people like Bones, Denzel, SGP, Yung Lean, Hi-C, Chris Travis, Carti, Lil Tracy, Black Kray, etc. the new guys wouldn't exist
Denzel and Bones put in that work honestly, i'm surprised nobody does videos on either of them
@@vinniemanpants2051 hell yeah bro, i have this friend who refuses listening to those guys and $b, calling them garbage no listens to. when in reality peep and x both showed an obvious influence from them
@@vinniemanpants2051 especially Bones, he releases like 3/4 albums every year and they're all fire
Suicide boys as well
LUCKI as well
I was one of the haters towards the SoundCloud scene. My clouded vision on what Hip Hop was made me miss out on a lot of talent over the years. I remember talking negatively about Juice Wrld. I recently opened my mind to what I was resisting and Juice Wrld is prob my favorite artist now. And I regret not being a fan when he was still here dropping new music. Literally just started listening to this style of music and I missed a whole movement lol
Lol it's ok man. I remember this was happening and I also hated on it. But here's the thing. Not everything is for everyone . I still think so much of this music is trash. But I am so happy to see this music meant so much to so many. That's dope. Happy to hear so many are no longer here. Sad to know they will never be fully realized.
I probably shit talked to you somewhere in a juicewrld vid 5-6 years for hating on him. Lol
Same I was really. Really delusional.
Me too me too
U a old head das y
Great job on this documentary of a brief but amazing era in underground music.
I see you Patrick ! My favorite content creator bro I respect the hustle , gotta order some merch
Lil peep is the reason why I like Soundcloud. He had so many good songs that it would take me hours to write all of them down but Gym Class, Ghost Boy, five degrees, the way i see things, the last thing I wanna do, walk away as the door slams, and absolute in doubt are some of them
Every peep fan got a list because we're scared his best songs that are unreleased will just be removed from the internet one day.
he would be so fucking big
Peep would have def changed the game and would have brought punk rock back the right way. Him and X would have been an unstoppable duo if they ever actually consensually collaborated.
It’s hard to get over X’s death. Respect to all the other artists, especially the ones who passed, but for some reason X just hit different for me. He’s my favorite hip hop artist AT.
And I’m a Kendrick Lamar fan so that’s tough imo.
Facts x will always be my #1
Agreed he’s forever my number 1 🥺♥️
Facts💯
X is #1
I’ve definitely been frustrated over X’s death. The fact that a talent like that is just gone because some fucks wanted an easy come up, just shameful. X had too much pride to give up the bag
@@siftwram X’s death kinda made it too painful for me to explore hiphop anymore. I still listen to it, but I’m exploring a lot of the genres that X was inspired by
i have just been bingewatching your vids and this brought back memories of your vids from 2018 and 2019 you really put me on so much music a few being mytype by weiland and marti gras by zotiyac ill try to go find the exact vid you talked about those two songs in lmao
why are your videos so good, i spend too much time on your channel
as an artist/producer, I can most definitely say it is hard to find other artists that are genuine. No one cares about making music the right way :(
This video is very well made! I remember back when Patrick was dropping videos with Convolk, Gaurdin, Shinigami, GHW, and them. I miss those days. I'm proud of Patrick for coming so far since 2018.
This video is so good I had to come back and rewatch. It's crazy how huge the shit from high school became
People always seem to forget about vine, call me corny or whatever you want for what I’m about to say but vine anime editors pushed the SoundCloud early SoundCloud rappers music heavy!, 2015 you’d see anime editors using underground music on their edits and getting millions of loops and thousands of comments of people asking what the song was
Dude loving that your having a second blow up with the new content form man! Also def snagging some comfort gear!
chucago
i don’t think there will ever be another generation like this one. it was genuine and real not just for profit. i’m happy i was a kid when this was going on
Here’s a gold star kiddo
Fr
There have been many generations of music like this before this and more will come after.
Genuine and real ? LOL
I’m a rock fan but I’m not old enough too have been alive for the Hair Metal explosion of the 80’s (I wish I was though), there was a generation like it, but for a different genre
Watching this filled me with so much nostalgia I almost teared up, I'm glad I got to be a teenager when soundcloud rap was real, it was the perfect soundtrack to having nothing to worry about and just fucking around.
The last era was just so different and versatile. Music was just different because every rapper was dropping heat from the smallest to the most mainstream. Everywhere you turned you just got hits. But like you said it got harder and harder to find diamonds in the rough.
