I often wonder if there's ever gonna be a totally new genre of music or if we have basically already seen every base genre which others will only build upon and blend. Like, I couldn't imagine anything right now, but I guess I wouldn't have imagined rap would sound like this if you asked me in my backpack era youth 12 years ago, either.

Can't wait to see what rap will sound like in 15 years and if it's something totally different or not. Maybe more guitars, maybe more organic with live instrumentation, maybe Goa-infused, lol.

Nothing to worry about, really

Look at Rock and R- uh
Look at Ja- uhhhhh
Look at Sou- ummmmmmmmmmmm
Look at Hou- waitaminute

We talked about this a while ago here. See PD's post:
Justin Hunt makes terrible videos imo.

I don't think rap is comparable to those genres. Jazz and rock required a certain skill level and equipment (instruments). Those entry points became more expensive and restrictive in later years as music programs faded, young people strayed from the black church (where music programs once churned out major talent), and instrument prices increased. Hip hop has none of those restrictions: all you need is an iMac and free SoundCloud. Or an iPhone.

Also demographics are different. White populations aren't increasing like they were in the 50s and 60s. If anyone is going to take over music it's Hispanics.

A better argument is that black people move on to new sounds they invent, leaving white people to "take over" previous waves. Jazz was the biggest wave in the 30s and 40s. Then rock n roll came, and young blacks gravitated to it. Then they gravitated to r&b, then funk, then disco, then returned to r&b. Then of course hip hop came. I'm sure black people will create something else in the next 20 years.

But right now hip hop is the dominant genre in the country and much of the world. Yea some white artists are doing well...yet none are nearly as big as Drake, Kendrick or Cole. Post Malone is touring small/medium venues right now while the biggest rappers do arenas. The big "new" rappers today are black too. Uzi, Kodak, Yachty, etc. Future has the streets on lock, Cardi is blowing up, etc. What white rapper is doing it on that level?

best beats of 2017 go

must come from an officially released song, no just-a-beat soundcloud stuff

The one's I can remember off the top or just because I've recently listened to it.

Big K.R.I.T. - Confetti
J.I.D. - Never
Rapsody - Oohwee
David Banner - Who Want it
Wu-Tang Clan - My One And Only
Jay-Z - 4.44
MC Eiht - Heard Cold
Camron - D.I.A.
Joey Bada$$ - Temptation
DJ Shadow's Entire 4 track EP - The Mountain Has Fallen - Corridors sounds like it can be out of a Final Fantasy boss battle.


Gaddamit I wish this track came out this year though... Would have been perfect for the summer. Swizz using it to win against Just Blaze was some unfair stealth shit. Always next year. Escobar season returns...
(Edit: Better quality vid)


[良いママ] - ain hard to tell
Wow Nas over Japanese production. This sounds fresh. I fucks with this.

One hit wonders have got people checking under their bed for white rappers like we never learned the lessons Bubba Sparxxx and Paul Wall taught us.

If you say 'culture vulture' three times into a mirror a white rapper will appear and try to rhyme orange with courage at you.

Had no clue what he looked like; I'd probably listened to Stoney 100 times before I saw a picture of him. Was pretty hilarious when I first saw him.

Not sure why Post Malone gets lumped in with White Rappers though; he's an R&B singer.

Frank Ocean and miguel are r&B singers. Post malone makes hip hop, whether he wants to admit it or not.

The little "media" button that looks like a film reel.

Or just put the link in media tags:

Post Malone's music is pretty meh and his image is corny but I'd be lying if I didn't think that Congratulations and Rockstar are bangers
