[FRESH] tags should only be applied to official music & music videos, not leaks, interviews, articles, art, live footage, etc. [SHOTS FIRED] should only be used for legitimate beef, not jokes or competition among artists.
Song posts must follow the 'Artist - Title (Description)' format with 80 character or less descriptions. Hashtagged keywords & emojis in titles are not allowed.

I feel like this is the first decade where we won't see a shift in the mainstream sound. What do you think?
My homeboy also dropped a short but sweet project

idk, seems like mainstream hip hop has changed a lot in the last decade and is still changing, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the direction of the mainstream.
but I do think hip hop is about to lose its grip on the lead genre if it hasn't already.
What do you think is coming up behind it? I've been sort of feeling the same thing but I'm so out of touch with any popular music outside of rap that I don't have any clue what to expect. My kids who listen to music heavily (18 and 15) either listen to rap or like...vaguely sad indie rock, so I'm very out of the loop.
