Rap shouldn't even be considered a genre. It is a style of singing or even just expressing vocals. There are no instruments lol. Just a guy talking. Americans trying to push their ty culture "most innovative". What is innovative bout talking.

The funny part is the same " ty American culture" you speak of, you spend all this time focusing on and discussing

Not as much as auto tune did and also the death of lyricism

You have Cher to thank for that

I still claim the Usher song “Yeah!” from the early 2000s was the turning point for hip hop. After that song getting overplayed as long as it did, hip hop got closer and closer to being just a ty version of pop music.

I really don’t understand the popularity of modern day jiberish rap though (rain drop drop top, for example). It’s literally just 3 minutes of someone mumbling an incoherent sequence of words (and in some instances they’re not even words, just sounds).

ehh 3rd bass wrote Pop Goes the Weasel about Vanilla Ice and Hammer in 91.

How do you figure it's innovative? Every current or up and coming mainstream rapper uses trap beats and tries to copy the staccato delivery that Migos and Future started..

Depends on what period of time we're talking about. I think you're right if we're just talking about the past year or so. But in the past five years has any other kind of music had the kind of creative breakthroughs that hip hop has?
