Yes because most people who do only hear about 5% of what rap music being made today has to offer.

You can say "I hate popular modern rap music" and most people wouldn't care and probably even agree with that.

I mean it's not aggressive ear cancer like Lil Uzi Vert but it's probably hitting like 5/10 for me.

I dislike a lot of popular modern rap music, but it seems a bit ignorant to say all modern rap music is shit. As a genre it is more diverse musically than it has ever been before

Maybe on a musical timescale, but it's postmodern music everywhere else.

Popular modern any kind of music is 95% trash.

But there's literally artists that still dable virtually every era and genre of music, the only travesty is the amount of amazing vocalists that will never be stars because the modern era would rather autotune a porn star.

In less than 40 years time, we've gone from "Don't push me 'cuz I'm close to the edge/I'm trying not to lose my head" to "Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang, Gucci gang".

Something has gone drastically, dreadfully wrong.

I think people should be precise in their language, using "contemporary" when they mean contemporary and "modern" when they mean modern.

I love 80s rap and early 90s rap. In retrospect, actually don't like mid to late 90s rap too much anymore.

It's ignorant, but you can't give everything the time to do proper research so I forgive you. Meanwhile, Im listening to Boogie (not with the stupid fuckin hoodie) and feeling like hip hop has never been better.

It's not wrong to hate modern rap music, but it's an ignorant statement that nobody who ever truly loved the culture would say.

The vast majority of rap won't make the radio or even have a video. Using the worst examples the industry has produced to brand the culture itself isn't something a hip-hop head would do.

If their target audience ever desire something more than escapism, maybe that pop music on the radio will change in nature, too.

If you are talking about the mainstream/mumble/young thug stuff I don't think so but there is plenty of great hip hop still coming out, it just doesn't go viral or end up on the radio.

Having that old shit next to the new shit just makes me cherish the route hip hop has taken all the more. So much more charisma and flow. Plus the lyrics are way more complex and meaningful. That old school shit has literally no advantage other than nostalgia. Like homie said before, you weren't a fan of the culture if you didn't grow with it. Which is completely fine. That's basically me with any music outside of Hip Hop & R&B. I got Rock on my playlists, but that doesn't mean Im cultured in it or it was a major part of my growth. And for that reason, I'd never act like I knew more than I did or what state it's in from listening to the radio for 30 minutes every few weeks.

Also, the old stuff has a place and isn't bad. I know it sounds like I just slammed it pretty hard, but Im just supporting the growth that hip hop has seen. Acting like it just immediately fell off after it's inception is so damn disrespectful and ignorant.
