Because you're a racist

It's relatively cheap to produce.

I am, but I don’t see how that’s relevant to the question.

The acceleration of the feminization of rock music began around the time the film Garden State came out. People don’t generally admire or aspire to be like whiny homos in grandma sweaters and songs about how scary talking to people is or how they can’t get over a girl who rejected them three years ago lol. Rock is fucking gay basically

Because all kinds of people can enjoy at least some type of hip hop I guess, which isn't true for say traditional danish music

Yes, I am. Am I supposed to apologize?

unfortunately hip-hop did not escape that

EXTREMELY cheap and easy to produce compared to all the other genres

plus the power vacuum left by rock that suddenly stopped having anything to say and lost the will to innovate and evolve

Say you what? That's like the equivalent of the entire London Symphony Orchestra on here.

same reason why jazz and rock came and went, it was new music that people could dance, party, and fuck to.

I'm pretty sure the biggest genre of music is buttcountry. there are millions of basic NPCs who listen to nothing else and cannot be turned onto other music, all attempts fail.

The media. People love controversy.

but there is still NBA youngboy, 21 savage, kodak black, and then the more sophisticated Westside gunn, Alchemist, Mach hommy, Armand hammer, etc. they are all alpha males.

Could've been done for peanuts by a random no name as well without that much of a difference in results.

What?

you don't like anything from the beastie boys, vanilla ice, or eminem? yikes!

Paul Wall is great. He doesn't like Paul Wall?

Because hip hop is always innovating. Rap of today sounds much different then rap from 2010. Rock got lazy and started to rehash it’s former glory days
