Worst Trends In Hip Hop

[CMac]

Singing on tracks when you call yourself a rapper (Drake)

Doing Pop music when your suppose to be a rapper (Nicki)

Starting beefs to get exposure

Dumbing down music to get more Radio and club plays

Autotune

Featuring artist on your tracks to feed off there buzz

Snap music era had a couple of gems but that shit was WOAT.

Grown ass niggas in white tees doing the Dougie...smh...

Had to co sign and the stupid ass E-40/Lil Jon glasses, and Gas JUGS full of petrone or any alcohol period.

Yea you just reminded...the liquor trend

Bitches not knowing shit about drinks until a rapper promotes

Niggas were copping Hypnotiq like that shit was good...shit was kool aid mixed with Nikolai

Same goes for Ciroc and Petrone...I REFUSED to join in the crowd...give me that captain and coke or hennessey

Tip drills

Abnormally long ass tees that looked like lamp shades on a nigga

Ridiculous chains

Nerd glasses

Not a trend, but "Lose Yourself" being some sort of Rocky anthem for niggas-shit was WOAT

So Nicki gotta be a rapper?

she cant be an artist and do multiple genres?

why niggas hating on her so much?

Another trend that I am getting sick of is rappers naming their new albums as sequels to their classics/ monster selling albums. It does NOTHING for their sales, and with the irrelevancy of most of the cats doing it (besides Wayne), it only hurts their image when they try this bullshit.

Pain Is Love 2

J.O.S.E. 2

Soon to be released: Doe or Die 2

Shit is getting ridiculous...

Another wack trend in Hip Hop is how it is acceptable to not know the genre's past in most people's head. Like if you say you love Rock and Roll and you dont at least know how the Stones or the Beatles are you will be laughed out the room and nothing you say will be taking serious. This is not the case in Rap, young muhfuckus dont know or respect the pioneers

THIS IS THE WINNER TO ME

I especially hate it when people tryna be artists dont even know the history of the culture.

I jus chalk it up to not being a rap thing, but a black thing.

Blax really dont care for history much. More so focused on whats next.

You may be right sir. It could be because we are usually never in any history we hear about anyway so we just disregard that shit all together..

Pun intended Rhyme schemes

Rappers embracing Rock Star's image instead of Rap Star image

Skinny Jeans

Homoerotic images (i.e posing with your shirt off in magazines that's geared towards men)

Too many features to carry an album

Mixtape albums- Remember when rappers did samplers.
