Anon listens to some popular music and is surprised that it lacks depth and meaning
Waiting till anon finds out about blues
Snoot_Boot@reddit
The point was to listen to popular music. You wouldn't base your opinion on a culture based on something 5 people did
VampiroMedicado@reddit
Popular music is often shit because it's what the big players push into people. The culture is often the underground. Unless it's pop because that's the whole point.
OneSpookiBoi@reddit
This is like listening to a few country songs and deciding that all white artists glorify drinking and cheating.
Nas, Common, Chance the Rapper, Lupe Fiasco, A Tribe Called Quest, and Dem Atlas are just a few off the top of my head that easily break this trope. Did you even try?
stable_115@reddit
The exceptions don’t disprove an overall trend
butteryasstreflip@reddit
Nas raps about committing crimes all the time lol
StartledMilk@reddit
Once rap started to talk about taking pills and lean and shit about a decade ago, kids at my brother’s middle school started od’ing on pills and fucking doing lean. Kids will definitely try to act like the music artists they like (especially if they’re stupid enough/susceptible to peer pressure). I truly believe much of rap has been a net negative on society.
kojimbob@reddit
Can't spell crap without rap
Tuggpocalypso@reddit
Can’t spell Mozart without art.
HitIerWasWrong@reddit
We Facebook today.
BrocoliAssassin@reddit
yeah pretty much started like that in the late 80s ,early 90s.
The funniest thing about rap is how everyone thought they were listening to thugged out music, but it was just a bunch of gay guys pretending to be thugs while ruining the culture.
And the rolling loud festival...the tiny hats really did a number helping rot minds across America, holy shit.
BendItLikeDeclan@reddit
Psyop
morgentrona@reddit
hip hop culture is the ultimate tool to destroy a society. the 'cult of cool'. little hatted men did this btw
IQ_Ql@reddit
Ice Cube spoke of this in his redpilled magnum opus No Vaseline. Jerry Heller commodified the gangsta aesthetic for fun and profit.
Adventurous-Fact-523@reddit
That's what they said about heavy metal being satanic.
dempa@reddit
the insecurity around not actually being the #1 race is hilarious to watch
Careless-Lie-3653@reddit
Nah, its just corrupted to the bone. The core of the real Hip Hop culture is expressing yourself through art and everyone can be a teacher to improve this culture.
Fit_Lecture_9274@reddit
50% of their songs are "The world is so racist against us" and 50% is what OP says.
AusCro@reddit
Reminds me of some anime subreddit: half of it is saying "we're not pedos" and the other half is posing all the pedo shit
outland_king@reddit
Its either a song about being targeted by "the man" or a song about taking advantage of their community to gain fame and bitches.
Really enlightening stuff
InfoNazi@reddit
If you dont like the music its fine, you just dont need to lie about the subject matter to emphasid your point.
Rap isnt all degenerate music. There's many artists that make music thats substantive you obviously havent tried to find.
TheReal_kelpie_G@reddit
10/10 bait
InfoNazi@reddit
Not bait at all, you dont have to like all rap music. There's some blends of different genres in rap. Not everything is ghetto music.
agabcharif@reddit
Violence in the black neighborhoods predates hip hop with like 50 years, in a time when life was actually difficult for blacks in America, work and education wasn't as easy to get because of racism Poverty in a rich country leads to social problems and violence, violence fuck young kid's lives and the circle continues hip hop is just reflecting that still some of it priceless though
Fayraz8729@reddit
True
There’s some good gems but you are right the themes of the music are always about their origin (Running drugs or gangbanging) or the reaction to their race (and maybe their prior occupation but who’s to say?)
DadGutsnumber1@reddit
Anon clearly never listened to jazz, blues or any disco tracks.
Iron-Fist@reddit
Kendrick or Jay Z or Tupac or Ice Cube or Janelle Monae or Tribe Called Quest...
This is like judging "white music" (jfc listen to how dumb that sounds) by the most generic pop or country songs you can find... There's literally centuries of award winning, deeply emotional and thoughtful music by black artists... Stuff that smart or funny or soulful or moving... Like wtf lol
Toowiggly@reddit
At least Taylor Swift doesn't promote crime in her songs
willowsandwasps@reddit
Dude they just wanna be racist lmao there's no reasoning with these chimps
Snoot_Boot@reddit
It's 2026, are you retarded?
How is disco music relevant to current African American culture?
SnooWoofers186@reddit
Are they about Bigga Higga, shiet, shiet, gang, gang, bang, bang, fuck, fuck, suck, suck too?
BanzaiKen@reddit
Thats the fun part. Neither do black people over the age of 40.
DadGutsnumber1@reddit
The thing is, i suspect that somewhere arround the end of the 80s, black cuture was hijacked and further degraded into what we know as the today gangsta rap and even that died out and is giving the place to trap, tha black comunity in the US is incredibly musicaly inovative and capable of making truly groundbreaking stuff but it seems today the industry only prioritizes shallow stuff that promotes criminal activities, even here in Brazil where i live i noticed this, the great soul music of Tim Maia and tropicalism of Gilberto Gil gave place to pagode and later brazilian funk(wich is actualy inspired by miami bass) and our version of trap, both genres being used to laundry money for drug trafickers. I don't know what happened because black comunities in both countries used to produce truly great stuff, it all seems like some kind of psyop to instigate further division and culture degradation but i'm not sure.
Jamelanho@reddit
He said explicitly said rap
Dark_Matter_Guy@reddit
Jazz and blues suck and only snobs listen to it.
koifarming@reddit
There are larpers but you can still listen to it without being a snob
TheSchleem@reddit
YOU HAVENT HEARD OF THE JAZZ AND BLUES GREATS OF THE 50’s AND 60’s? HOW DARE YOU
leksoid@reddit
any rap, in any country is about the same. OP is moron.
HomelessNightkin@reddit
Most of it is bullshit, yeah. There are a few artists and groups out there that break the mold, but overall it’s a lot of reused themes and even bars, and beyond that the creativity in the genre has just been faltering further as of late.
Virgil_Rug_Say_RUG@reddit
even if this is true, what else are you gonna listen? what virtous white lyricist is producing music that doesnt fall into this same shit?
at least rap is pretty based/badass. white music is either "im such a whore and everyone wants to fuck me" or "i loaded up the shotgun into the pickup truck and went driving through the ranch"
MrThiggySpaggeter@reddit
anon has clearly never listened to nettspend
LastGuitarHero@reddit
I’d argue that in the early Jazz days Black people were some of the greatest musicians. It’s crazy how massive of a downgrade has occurred in their community. I would put the blame on record labels pushing for this type of “music” onto the masses but there’s a lot to unpack.
SnooWoofers186@reddit
Is there no filtering body which acts like a regulator in American music industry? They knows kids will listen to these songs, they know these songs is going to get export out to other places to play.
outland_king@reddit
Music labels wouldnt push this music if it didnt sell, and it overwhelmingly sells to ghetto trash.
Boy bands used to print money in the early 2000s but died off when people stopped buying

One great enlightenment post, also the reason I stop listening to any black Rap after they go rotten like how it is mentioned in the post.
mucus-broth@reddit
I fucking love black metal, tho.
Adventurous-Fact-523@reddit
That's litteraly 80 percent of popular music these days no matter what race the artist is.

NegativeScythe@reddit
There is a lot of early rap that comments on the state of the world in a political sense (elite vs commoners, wars, violence, ect), but a lot of modern rap is about sex,drugs,and money. To be fair, a lot of modern music in general is about those 3 things too, I guess it sells.
BjornAltenburg@reddit
I don't know this MF Doom guy seems to be pretty neat.

Modern rap is an israeli psyop to keep urban americans on welfare and to glorify crime culture. Any black artist who tries to make meaningful art is rarely makes it mainstream and when they do they usually don't make meaningful art after that for... reasons.
Serenaded@reddit
I'm into prog rock, guess my race and gender. if you guessed white and male, you guessed correctly. It's 2026 and rap is still gay.

Ok? I still have day dreams about working at Orcon.

Rap and Hip hop were good in the late 80s. Since then it's been pure shite
HudRoss@reddit
Record labels don't really sign artists that DON'T talk about gangbanging. But sure, keep talking.

Commodus_Wankus@reddit
Whenever someone says I am poor, I reach into my sock and put on my gold plated tooth grill. A rapper told me success is displaying ostentatious jewellery.

countrybreakfast1@reddit
Black culture is nothing more than sex, cars, shoes, money. There is no substance. There is no meaning. Devoid of any understanding of the world that exists around the.
countrybreakfast1@reddit
Literally all that matters to black community is sex, cars, shoes, money. There is absolutely no substance. No meaning. Devoid of any depth or understanding of the world around them.
_Ryth@reddit
most of these rappers are also usually the small percentage of blacks with rich families living in gated communities, the whole "hood" stuff is just larp
