Direction of HipHop
 

Due to aggressive expansion and the sea of garbage produced I wanted to ask everyone what direction did they think hip hop was going to take. I'm an artist myself but lately, I've taken to Soundtracks from TV shows and video games, classic music that makes me feel like a 70s gangster and Orchestral. Like I work out to Yuki Hayashi or The Matrix compilation soundtracks cause I ran outta **** to listen to. Everything in hip-hop right now is painfully monotonous to the post where it made me question if this **** is even worth my time or being a part of, someone change my mind please.

Hip Hop has exploded into so many directions and has so much diversity right now in terms of sound that you can obviously tell the passionate from the casual listener by comments like this.

hip hop is the mainstream genre right now which is wild to me, surpassing even most pop music in popularity! there are so many different directions it takes as a genre, especially when you get down to how it's made in other countries.

Grime is pretty cool in the UK

Funk Carioca in Brazil

Memphis Rap, while not centered in Memphis Tennessee anymore it's still in a revival period

idk I could go on, there's so much out there that's either being recorded or has been released since hip hop started in the late 70s in new york or even if you consider older singles as hip hop that predated the style

Eh, I feel like that just augurs whether or not its popularity and simplicity is the reason for its upcomance in musical culture at large. Think about it, if I found something so simple to make that it made me damm near lose brain cells to make it and its HIGHLY lucrative why wouldn't I .. im just like .. wheres the passion. Feels like yours working too hard you know.

I guess, maybe I'm just being critical idk

Or maybe you're just working off limited knowledge.

best recent discovery I can't believe this artist :bowdown:

Not bad, a little more spoken word than I'd prefer but dope nonetheless.
