Do Kids actually enjoy the Rap Music of today?

Well there are some decent artists, but you’re not going to find a del the funky homosapien in this generation.

Speaking of metal, whenever I am raiding, I always blast old-school Metallica. It always gets me pumped up. A lot of their songs could be perfect theme music for some WoW classes. Hmmm, I think I might play around with that idea.

And I bet you think the Black Album ruined them!

I love Metallica, and Iron Maiden, and Slayer. And a lot of 80s and 90 metal. What a great time it was for metal music.

Pretty much. I actually like the Black Album, but not as much as the four previous ones. And I can’t stand anything after that.

I think they still have good songs in their later albums. The Memory Remains, Until it Sleep, the alyrical pieces in S&M (Call of Cthulhu and Ecstacy of Gold), and a few others.

Every generation will have it’s own definition of music, and… yeah, most of it will be terrible. That’s not because “KIDS THESE DAYS!!!” but because most music is terrible when it’s current. “Old” music has the immense benefit of being filtered by age. Only what’s worth being remembered gets remembered. That’s mostly the good stuff people listen to, and a few massive failures people remember for being terrible at the time.

Anything that’s just alright to mediocre to forgettable to bad falls away - that’s most music of any given era. With the majority of it’s low and even average points scrubbed off by time, the music of the past comes out looking squeaky clean and amazing, but in reality, if you look at the actual charts from an era, you’ll find it rife with audio garbage, noise, and fluff.

He told you about NLE Choppa? He’s the CEO of

YEAH YEAH YEAH, UH
YEAH YEAH YEAH, UH

Seriously, listen to Capo by him or Camelot I think has a lot of that too. NLE had one song that really blew him up I think Shotta Flow

I’m surprised he didnt tell you about Lil Uzi or Juicewrld or Polo G or Roddy Rich some of those guys are considered the best rappers of today usually like #1,2,3, and 4 my generation at least, Trippie redd and a couple others like Lil baby and Da baby are somewhere around the middle like #5/6 ish and Pop smoke is usually behind them slightly but the worst rapper of all time is NBA Youngboy :face_vomiting: :face_vomiting:
Saying Youngboys name alone hurts me

Anyway, as a 16 year old kid myself, 90% of it is trash. Here and there you’ll get like one good song by some underrated guy. But it’ll quickly be buried by the next Lil Uzi song or some other guys with much bigger names

To each their own.

Funny story, my mom hates doing paperwork and she used to hate Country Music even more. To motivate herself to stay focused and finish paperwork fast, she would play Country in the background (awful sound >>> awful activity).

Until she learned to love Country Music.

Meh, the most recent album has a couple of decent songs, but only because they appear to be going back to metal.

Juice Wrld is really good

Listen to Earl Sweatshirt. He is very lyrical and has a MF. DOOM vibe. Lots of east coast inspiration.

The name juice world sounds like a smoothie stand.

Lots and lots of teenagers say things like that. My closest friend used to constantly talk about how he won’t make it past 25. He did.

You hate auto tune? Try listening to anything by Travis Scott :rofl:

Yea he probably knew he had it coming since he did heavy drugs honestly wasn’t surprising died from a seizure after ODing

Quality MC’s who get major label push these days are minimal. I’m sure there are good mix tapes floating around though; there always are.

I gave it a listen. My god. But at least he uses it more creatively, so he doesn’t sound like every other auto-tuned artist.
