Drake Made Rap Not Be Boring?
I really hate their take on rap music was boring bc there was no "outside" music. During their review of Drake's album they talked about how music in the past 2 years was boring bc there was no ass shaking music and no outside music etc. to me, this is just a nasty and bad narrative to push. We shouldn't only champion rap music for making ppl want to party. The music was "boring" bc ppl decided to not give other ppl a chance, only wanting a particular sound to be successful. Are we only using club appeal (outside -ability) as a measure of music being fun?
This is a music podcast and they CAN make an artist and break new talent. Instead, they say there and just wanted to say no music was fun, we loved in gloom until drake appeared and brighten the hip hop music world. And as a music fan, we can't allow one artist to hold this much power. It's like when ppl said rnb is dead because Beyonce didn't release a new album, but there's dozens of new rnb albums released every month. Same with rap.
But what do I know, I'm not on a podcast nor listen to new artists regularly to be able to say there were fun rap albums released.
