My Testament to Modern Rap

                I remember when the first Purple rappers came out on the scene in the mid-2010s. The game was over. All the fun people were having doing the trap house style all of a sudden changed up. I’m sure people weren’t happy about it. It took a long time for the world to come back together after that.

               People have been all over the place since then, but it feels like everything has been staying in the same place. You’ll catch word of some girl listening to Purple rappers every now and then, to mixed reviews. I heard that it was a big deal, too. Rappers aren’t supposed to be treated like dirt. They got people all mixed up for what the game should be.

               That isn’t to say that there isn’t worth in new school rap. They take things in a new direction that probably has a purpose, and is probably good for society. They let the world breathe a little bit. Gave everyone some space to think about what’s really going on with rap.

               That might mean that the trap house rappers are working on something behind the scenes. They sure wouldn’t take things lying down. They’ve been a little caught up in the industry with the Purple rappers though. It’s like they’re popping out of thin air sometimes, just to further abduct someone into their system.

               What needs to happen here is that rap needs to come to some kind of agreement as to what it’s doing, so that we can all return to normal. Despite being a fan of drama, as are rappers, there is a limit that people can take it to. At a certain point, we need order in the rap game. We need to set things straight, and give the game to the people who deserve it.

               There’s a lot of word about new rappers coming out that they’re going to get further endorsed by big money the moment they touch the ground. The hustle that rappers have been known to have is really changing up in this system, though. People who deserve money can really show that they’re worth something to society, not just the people who’re running the game.

               It makes me question who’s running the game, too, if things are really changing up that much. Whether the trap house is very pleased with the way Purple rappers are treating the game. I think DJs have their opinions too, considering they’ve been addicted to playing only the Purple mix, and avoiding a lot of trap music.

               Where are the trap rappers? Are they still obsessing over themselves and the antics they’re known for? Or did something change at some point? These new rappers have been all over the media, taking up the space of the deserving ghetto hustlers that America knows and loves. There must be some kind of dramatic tension between the new school and the old school that’s present. It looks like it’s getting hidden by the fact that collabs between the new and old are becoming the new mixtape standard.

               If someone would just step up to the plate and say this isn’t what’s up, I would appreciate it. The further I’m digging into this drama, the worse things are getting for our favorite ghetto superstars. The rap outlets are being dominated by fiends with crazy names that don’t make any sense. It’s like the whole game has been possessed by the devil at this point.

               What needs to happen is we come to a resolution here. People in general need to agree on some kind of standard for the music they’re listening to. That doesn’t mean that we have to exclude the new schoolers and the newcomers to the rap game at all. We need to think about what’s happening here, though. It’s a big change from the Trap House rappers to the Purple rappers, and no one ever really said anything about it. They just kind of let it happen.

               If Purple rappers would let the old schoolers have their game back, so that the Trap House can step back into the spotlight, I think everyone would appreciate it, so that things can stop being all about ditching the Trap for the new school, leaving the dedicated audience to feel very alienated by the whole situation.

The Music Industry is Undergoing Renovations

With all kinds of new music pouring into this generation, it’s making me wonder who’s listening to what. There are some people with a more reserved music taste out there, saying that they’re listening to the old school, and there are more explorative people out there listening to the new things that are coming out. Music festivals are even featuring new artists that no one has ever heard of often.                The modern state of the music industry is a very open field. There are new and undiscovered artists coming out along with the old favorites. It’s thought-provoking in the way that I start to question which artists are really good and which ones have been put up in the mainstream only to be overrated.                The artists that we’re used to listening to are starting to be overshadowed by new talent.
