Just LOL @ you if you think Hip Hop is a talentless art form (examples within)
Say whatever you want about mainstream mumble rap’s degenerate subject matter. I too am frustrated with what is pushed upon the masses. However Hip Hop as an art form is one of, if not the most innovative and impactful subculture in the world. Not because it’s mindless talking over drums like some claim, but because the music is so deep and full of unique elements that touch the soul of the listener.
You can’t sit here and tell me that a DJ finding an obscure piece of jazz, sampling a few seconds of it and creating one of the most iconic beats in New York rap is talentless.
You’re going to tell me that an emcee using intricate rhythm, complex rhyming patterns and wordplay to paint a vivid picture of a Vietnam veteran is talentless?
Nobody with a straight face can say turntablist flawlessly scratching and cutting classic records in such an infectious way that it moves an entire crowd is talentless...
Don’t let the dumbed down mainstream chit fool you. The talent that goes into creating quality Hip Hop music is perhaps greater than most genres.

You can't just throw an entire music style out the window simply because you don't like it. I don't listen to hip hop but I recognize the difference between quality hip hop and trash. Unfortunately, a lot of the mainstream hip hop and the general collective understanding of this music style is based off garbage examples. It's the same thing with pop music. It evokes images of boy bands and trash entertainers like katy perry and the like. But The Beatles are technically a pop band when you think of it. They're one of the most 'popular' bands of all time, if not the most popular.
Definitely disagree with that above opinion. Go and listen to Camel and get back to me with that hypothesis.Originally Posted by rollerball

All those beats are garbage
Can't listen to anything with a boring beat. Main reason 95% of 90s hip hop is complete chit

there are unquestionably talented people in that industry but fundamentally you dont need talent to be a good rapper and make alot of money.

The best that ever did it came from musical backgrounds and had developed a unique understanding of the nuances of rhyme patterns and beat making that stemmed from the funk and soul that they were exposed to in their youth. (Nas, Biggie, Rza, etc)
There is enough in the world for everyone's need, but not enough for everyone's greed.

Music is one of my biggest passions but nothing 'impresses' me in any genre. There's a known science to it all
