The best thing to happen to hip hop is that people started to embrace getting experimental (again*).

The thing about hip hop is now is the perfect time for producers and artists to take back their genre from corporations and screw over predatory labels.

For anyone who remembers hip-hop in the 90s, it was never about one particular sound. Good Hip Hop has always been about maximum creativity.

i’m so happy people are finally coming around to MAYA. I’ve always thought M.I.A/ Maya has always been super under appreciated. her sound was so ahead of it’s time. she’s truly a gem

I feel like mainstream hiphop is starting to become stale but outside of the mainstream there's so many talented artists experimenting with different styles

Thank you so much for giving MIA the recognition she deserves. Her sound was and is ahead of its time.

This is a natural change in music genre. Every music genre had it's "golden" era like jazz, blues, rock, etc. they all had their time periods where they were most influential. And it's during these time when artists start changing the style a bit, and bit by bit the genre changes to a whole new one.

Man - I've always thought JPEG was super interesting, but after seeing those interview clips, respect goes through the roof. I love where his head is at.

I thought this was going to be another "boo-hoo hip-hop is dead" video from the thumbnail but instead you chose to shine a light on some of my favourite artists in the genre

Danny Brown will always be one of my favorite hip hop artists. His unique voice on the mic as well as the electronic elements in his beats keep me listening for life....I caught him live in Columbus OH around 2016 and he did not disappoint.

experimental rap has always been the most refreshing and unique sub-genre of hip hop for decades. unfortunately we never see these songs on the billboard charts or any mainstream charts because it's not as "easy" to listen too compared to what we consume.

As someone who's a BIG hip hop head, the genre is DEFINITELY in need of an overhaul and it starts with Rap/R&B getting lower sales. I think it'll be like what rock is now with getting all the critical acclaim even though it doesn't sell well to the mainstream. And i think Rap is just another symptom of how the more "bigger" genres are being REALLY oversaturated in general. You would usually hear the same songs all the time from either tiktok or (god forbid) the radio, and most people at this point are just sick of it being so formulaic and actually want something new to the table. BTW, /\/\ /\ Y /\ is a masterpiece and M.I.A. is always ahead of the curve.

Fuck. Someone is finally talking about MAYA. MIA IS DEATH GRIPS BEFORE DEATH GRIPS. She never got her flowers for this album and poeople just say that "we just were not ready for this". She needs to be talked about more, prized a lot more.

Ive always loved jpegmafias sampling, he does it insanely well, why should a beat made mostly from some guy shouting sound so good, I dont know but he makes it

Love how you talk about JPEGMAFIA because his sound is something that should be given more recognition

This is how music works, a genre is created, it is expanded and other genres are added to it until it doesn't look like how it started

I honestly think hip hop is dying in the mainstream but the underground is absolutely thriving. (Edit: I’m not saying that there isn’t any originality or pushing of boundaries in mainstream hip hop. I think certain artists are much more okay with being commercialized and having their music be more of a vehicle for making money than it being about the art. Obviously this isn’t bad, if you’re good at something don’t do it for free. At times this (to me) diminishes the value of the art and in the underground I see more people chasing something deeper than just money. It’s all love though we all connect to what we connect to.)

I think a guy like Childish Gambino played a huge part on in that sound, from Camp To Because of the Internet, I think he definitely combined sounds of traditional Atlanta rap with industrialism and even soul.

Hip hop culture is never forgotten since the early 80's and 90's.
