yeah plus people literally always been saying this same **** about hip hop.

Old school fans were saying this **** about 90s era gangster rap at the time.

Personally i think the 90s was the golden age of hip hop but that's based on my personal taste

But hip hop rn is undoubtedly more diverse and interesting than it was 10-15 years ago imo

I don't know, I think hip-hop has been taking over since The Chronic came out. My music memory goes back to like 1994 or 1995 and hip-hop or hip-hop adjacent pop/r&b was the most popular thing on the top 40 station in Minneapolis. If anything, I feel like hip-hop hit it's peak of popularity in like 2005 or something during the height of the bling era when Kanye West and Eminem used to get all of the awards and accolades and sell the most albums of anybody else and it's leveled out since then.

I listen to classic hip hop. I know abt PM Dawn ffs lol. But then you think about how big artists like Travis Scott and Kanye have gotten in the public vernacular, playing superbowls and **** like that not that it wasn't popular before, but idk there's more people on the earth now than there was then and hip hop seems more ubiquitously in the popular culture now

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

Tbh the main reason it wasn't in the SB back then is because when Bush was president, there was this huge push to cater everything to boomers and after the whole Janet Jackson thing they moved away from keeping the show hip and started going more conservative. Hence, the classic rock halftime shows.

MC Hammer sold 10 million records or some**** based off one single like 30 years ago lol

None of the top selling albums since have done much better than that.

By now hip hop is an umbrella as wide as rock: something for everyone.

This is the stuff that I enjoy:
