I don't feel like pump had the biggest fall imo. I'm 26, and I feel like most ppl hitting their late 20s can agree that gimmicky hiphop or "clout hop" from the jump had a shelf life.

“it might sound good, but it’ll die because it ain’t real music, it’s just catchy.. not real shit” -2pac in an interview when asked about music in 20 years (circa 1992)
EXACTLY! REAL music will always endure,just like Pac's music, it has had longevity because it was and still is REAL, not everyone can relate to bullshit like money, clothes, hoes, etc but life, struggles, truth?? That's what lasts....
Lol I don’t know why this use to trigger me so much but it’s hilarious because they all fell off in a year and a half and rappers like lil Wayne been going strong for 20 plus years.
The 2017 to 2020 era in hip hop dominated by these guys will always be remembered with both confusion & intrigue. It’s amazing but listening to any of their records now feels like a relic, it’s all aged so damn quickly & so badly. All these artists will fall into obscurity now.
They did not "age badly" they were always so bad you legit had to google if the artist/song was a parody when you first heard it. You (and many others) liked it because you mistook fame and hype for flow and bars. Its OK to admit it.
I feel this is the reason why hip-hop isn't being taken seriously enough, rappers like these become famous not for the rhymes but because of the image they are portraying to be. Everything isn't organized anymore, and that gives people who think they can rap a platform that reaches a large audience than rappers who can spit bars because it's more of a trend, and if you're not being a clown you are a ”nobody”.
Chalk that up as a negative result of internet culture. Ppl want to be entertained so bad they'll watch ppl do anything... So ppl started doing anything. The love for clout comes from the love of money, and attention.. Those things are like drugs (but no one talks about it because just like drugs, those things hide/cover the problem... But how could they? That's what "the dream" is right?).
Facts and most these dudes be taking from underground artists, the styles the cadences, this ish real. I think its meant to keep us as collective looking crazy signing people like that while not givin a chance to those that actually can produce and has talent.
Yea he went in on them. Even brought up how Roddy Rich had to drop another album when he saw the one before didn't do very well. Straight up told them "yall ain't Kendrick, cuz when he drop we know it's bout be lit"
@@antoinekoory4756 the clout era will come back... everything goes in cycles. The gangsta drilling will fade and the clout will come back ...then gangsta will again. It's been doing that since the 90s
The SoundClown/Clout era is to the 2010s what ringtone rap was to the 2000s. I was actually getting used to it but if it's coming to an end, it's about damn time.
@TheAmishRifle I didn't even know that shit was called ringtone rap lmao while people was listening to thoss tracks in 2000s I was still bumping those 90s joint .
That's honestly the biggest weakness of rap is the half life of that shit is nasty. Goats can pop their heads in and make a great album, produce and or still tour. Yet these new guys are legit done like I hope they invested their money well so they can just coast. The problem with clout it's poison if people with will check you and some might not even make it to the point of "being lame"
Not lying. I think that's what it's about. I think that's why it's popular too. Their fans have the same issues. Not making fun of anyone or taking light of mental health issues. Mental health issues are serious. But the only logical conclusion I can come to why people would find this music entertaining is coping with their own personal issues. For instance, I'm not a fan of heavy metal, but I don't say "Omg, it's so terrible!" That's what the majority of music fans say about this style of rap.
The fact remains: trends come and go, that's nothing new under the sun. Though being more authentic and somewhat versatile and unique and most importantly making good music will make you last through the trends.
That's why I stopped letting it bother me. For this kind of music, it rarely lasts and eventually the fanbase grows up. I knew it was coming and it's hilarious to see all of these kids who were possibly the worst and cringiest generation of hip hop fans get old and the music not being the flavor of the month anymore... while turning into an "old head" thanks to the passage of time LOL

If you really need new music you're lucky to have a smart phone and internet access. I know you know what Google is too. Why not go down the hip hop rabbit hole? Learn the history and culture you'll discover artists from each Era and sub genre.
Even though Doja Cat is in your thumbnail, she is killing it right now. I don’t think she is in the same genre or category as the rest of the folk mentioned. She just came into fame during that era by doing clout rap type stuff to break in, but she does so much more with her talent.
@@ahviedinero she makes amazing music even before she was big. Now because she’s big all of a sudden she’s an industry plant? Lol like come on. Yes she has complained about being over worked but she’s been making music since 2014 and recently got popular off her talent.
@@Gaming1Legendz People always try to minimize other people’s success in order to feel better about their lack of. Fact of the matter is Doja has natural talent, personality and was grinding hard, writing and performing music, for a very long time before “the Industry” took notice of her potential to make every one millions of dollars
2016-2018 was weird, there's still some bangers that I play from time to time but its mostly for the memories I associate with them. Going on holidays with my friends and sessioning in the summer. Feel like the popularity of sound cloud rappers opened the flood gates for anyone to try to make an impact, and very few made a lasting one.
It has nothing to do with being in the streets its all about being authentic and having something meaningful to say. That is what hip hop was always about. Those artists failed because they are trash and have nothing to say.
Nah that’s not true.they failed because they wasn’t smart.there so many artists wit nothing to say but still mainstream they blew off them being weird etc.look at future still big cause he bloW off his music being catchy.theses guys blow up cause they blow up cause they personality not their music

That’s always been a thing in hip hop, it’s just that back then, they was getting money because they had talent. In recent years, it’s been a lot of kids fazed by the money and numbers/charts. They think success=talent, and just because you were doing well, you were deserving of it. Meanwhile the people who deserve get overlooked.
comes full circle. People are craving good music again. Real rnb, real hiphop. Ppl are hurting, this type of fast food music doesn’t heal like real music does.
There is always good hip hop out there. Mike, Mavi, Pink Siffu, fly anakin. Talent never goes away from the scene, you just have to look harder I feel like
Eh, I give push back on "good" here. Sure the music during that time may have been more trendy than classic, but to paint it as not good, I think that's a bit much
I feel like everyone over the age of 25 now understood what was going on back then. From the music we were big on between 05-16. 2017-2021 felt like it was a race to see who could trend on Twitter the easiest. The pandemic humbled a lot of them when people couldn’t go to concerts high off who knows what and just vibe to the beats with other high people.
Man I remember a time you turn on the radio you hear artist like Outkast, Dmx, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Lil Wayne, and others but NONE of those guys sounded the same. I really wish we could get back to being original.
@@Rellfromthe4 if you mean Lyrically, yeah. sound wise the shit got cranked the fuck up and with this hyperpop stuff i cant stand, it seems like it just keeps progressing. mumble rap seems to be an extreme focus on _melody_ rather than _message,_ like pop. some rappers combine the two and ascend, like kendrick. i personally listened to rock as a kid, didnt know the words but knew the melodies. thats most of that entire genre. so from my view, having more melodic (so Rhythmic, more on beat) rap is perfect. what do you enjoy about lyrical rap?
@@KreepKarnage even sound wise, it devolved. Nowadays many beats don’t sound innovative, and they sound generic, once you heard one then you pretty much heard them all. I’m pretty sure there was a reason why T Pain went on that rant, even Pvlace of 808 Mafia has spoken out about this.
Ah man this era was nice if you were in on it! Look no further than the infamous 2016 XXL Cypher, it was trash but fun & that's how I'd define the whole wave
I feel sorry for the downfall of these young men, but I can't say I'm Sympothetic to their plight. The music industry has always been about popularity and sales, but hip hop is still the only genre that is defined by the audience as the taste makers. And though it may have been fun for some, big day Kanec said in the art of rap, a good mc can either rock a party or has an undeniable handle for lyricism. Trends come and go, but this is still hip hop. Come correct.
I would agree if musical ability directly correlated with music success. if the music Industry, with it's inner workings and affairs didn't exist and the world was just people finding music on their own and discussing it with others. but that isn't the case, so you're wrong. a MJ will always be successful but acting like every nigga and they mamma is gonna know who DJ Quik is, that's bullshit. there are plenty of people struggling for attention, that doesnt say shit about their art. refer to Prince's early career.
Fr, people don’t realize theres different phases of hip hop, apparently these rappers were part of the “clout era” where you didn’t need to have talent to be popular, now that the clout era is over these “clout” rappers have nothing to put out because it doesn’t fit in with the music going on right now, I kinda feel sad for them but at least they had their time of fun and fame, but when you have true talent it stretches a long run for you
Ironic how SoundCloud rappers literally based their whole sound on the drill music that Chicago rappers like Durk/Keef popularized around 2013. Then fans got tired of the fraudulence and went straight back to Durk by 2020 lmao.
Music with substance. With intelligent ideas. With needed critique of societies'issues---that's everlasting. Why is 2pac a legend posthumously? Because his words were relatable and had substance. He cared about expression. He cared about racism and culture and the inequality present. Same reason Kanye is above all these little rainbow peacock hair fukkboys just Mubbling BS and showing off fake chains...
Soulja boy had a good run but when he tried to go full gangsta rap his career tanked fast. If he would’ve stuck to catchy dance songs he would’ve been good.
He trying his damnedest to hold on with this whole "I was the first rapper to..." shtick but give it another year with no actual decent material released and the people will eventually bore of that as well.
@@steveaustin5399 in your opinion it may have been. But by the numbers it did it was and is definitely a milestone for modern rap. Whether you like it or not. And a lot of shit is gonna sound trash a decade later
@@producedbysteez1402 i was in high school when it came out. Everyone had it as their ringtone lol. The beat was good, but the lyrics(or lack thereof) were trash.
been saying this: this era in hip hop is the equivalent to the hair metal era in rock. everyone wanted to become a rockstar during that era, now everyone wants to become a rapper. history repeats itself all the time
Soundcloud era/ clout rap/ colourful hair and tatted face was the top three significant things you needed is this era I’d also say auto tune and crazy drugs.
The only thing I could find new in this era was minimal lyricism and colourful hair. Talking about autotune, using autotune isn’t a bad thing. We had someone like Tpain years ago. Talking about tats, I think Lil Wayne was the one brought that trend. And drug usage always been there.
Doja is a star. She shouldn’t be in the thumbnail. She can actually rap, produce & perform. And I don’t even like how shorty had funny history about talking down black people.
lmao there’s a funny clip of Q-Tip from Tribe Called Quest talking about “The Lils” he breaks it down nicely, how basically they’re expendable assets cause there’s always new ones to replace them if they fall off
I grew up when hip hop/rap was just starting. I won't get all ultra reminiscent on the topic. It was a PURE art form that was an outlet for oppression. It was used to get out messages, have fun, be optimistic (with enough pessimism). Ultimately what survived was REAL even when just "bullshittin'"... It was about money too but also legitimacy
@@SexyBeautifulBabe pls stop, other genres talk about the same thing, but expressed differently. Even in the 50-90’s all they talked abt was girls, drugs & partying.
I was watching a interview with a few old school hip hop artists and they gave their opinions on this new era of hip hop, they said that this shits gonna go the way of disco if something doesn't change. Now I'm not saying Hip Hop needs to go back to the 90s golden age or the experimental phase of the 2000s but somethings gotta change up, its getting so bad that a new rapper is popping up every other few months I cant even tell who's who anymore to a point where I don't even care.
@@brandonpage7087 Your not lying, I remember ringtone rap, Huricane Chris and Plies. But I'm talking about J Dilla, early Kanye, Mos Def, Common, Talib Kwali.
When the high bar is set so low that any clown can step over it with little to no effort, eventually folks are gonna want something real that moves us. Basically, the term clout rapper is a euphemism for being a one hit wonder whose fifteen minutes of fame ended hours ago. 🤡💩
With people like the Island Boys blowing up just recently it's hard to believe "Clout rap" is over. The system is designed so that even when someone is commenting or making a video about how said artist is ruining rap or clout chasing whatever, those comments and twitter posts promote the artist either way and everybody eats it all up
Island Boys are clowned non-stop. No one is checking for them or bumping them in the car. That's the difference. And when we say clout-era is dead, it means it's staying power is over.

Im ngl i liked the SoundCloud/clout rap era way more than the current one. We had new feel good/abstract music everyday from people we never heard of building strong cult fan bases. The labels were losing power cuz of SoundCloud and they put a stop to it. Now every rapper sounds the same and talks about the same fake gangsta shit back to back.
I wish labels lost their power but soundcloud rappers 100% sounded the same, the colored hair and drug rap became a meme. let’s not look at it with rose tinted glasses
Tbh I blame a big part of it on media companies like y’all, xxl, complex, and DJ akademiks, cause y’all’s fixation on those same few artist from that era made y’all missed out on a whole era of dope underground artist like lucki, warhol.ss, unotheactivist, but not just trap smino, raury, mick jenkins, And sooo many more.

I know the younger crowd hate listening to these older heads about the quality of the music but what they were saying is the truth that's why there's so many fall offs more then every nowadays
Yo I been listenin to hiphop since the early 90s, and I know SO many young cats who hate this generation. But there are alot of really amazing young artists as well. But this type of genre has been so dominant over real heads and artists in way it never has imo. Even during the bling era and then the southern rise, people still respected spitters. We had mad guys coming out with highly rated and sold albums even during the early to mid 2000s This is almost nonexistent outside of the obvious artists (Cole, Kendrick). I dunno how many young kids I teach who really don’t like this generation’s rap and listen to older ones.

Personally I like hearing people's real life struggles and achievements no matter where they come from. When someone is honest and puts their real life experience on a track you can just feel it.

And he’s still versatile enough to satisfy the other half of his fan base that loves his melodic auto tune style. The man is making the music he wants and is still a big name, at the end of the day all you need is one big song on Tik Tok or the radio/charts to be “on.” Don’t understand the people that claim Yachty “fell off.” A lot of artists would love to be in the position he’s in right now.

The falling off of those rappers ain’t really about clout rap being over. More about 1 hit wonders without much substance naturally cycling out. I don’t think there is this dramatic shift to authenticity that’s happening. There’s still a dime a dozen internet rappers that are popping today that will blow up for a few songs then fizzle out, part of the cycle. If you don’t believe me, look at Tik Tok.

Everything isn't organized anymore, and that gives people who think they can rap a platform that reaches a large audience than rappers who can spit bars because it's more of a trend, and if you're not being a clown you are a ”nobody”.
I agree with you so much man.
Thank god for underground music though. Those clowns can have their spotlight for all I care. Those that know, know
Chalk that up as a negative result of internet culture.
Ppl want to be entertained so bad they'll watch ppl do anything... So ppl started doing anything.
The love for clout comes from the love of money, and attention.. Those things are like drugs (but no one talks about it because just like drugs, those things hide/cover the problem... But how could they? That's what "the dream" is right?).
*Funny how Hiphopmadness talks about other rappers for clout and complains about rappers clout chasing.. the irony*
Facts and most these dudes be taking from underground artists, the styles the cadences, this ish real. I think its meant to keep us as collective looking crazy signing people like that while not givin a chance to those that actually can produce and has talent.
IT'S 2022 AND I STILL LISTEN TO 90'S HIP HOP🙏😁
That akademiks twitch clip is like the eulogy of that era of rap, it confirmed once and for all that it’s over.
Still feels amazing to have witnessed this era. It will definitely go down in history

90% of these “rappers” need mental health help, not a record deal.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
U can say that bout every artist :D
realest comment
Not lying. I think that's what it's about. I think that's why it's popular too. Their fans have the same issues. Not making fun of anyone or taking light of mental health issues. Mental health issues are serious. But the only logical conclusion I can come to why people would find this music entertaining is coping with their own personal issues. For instance, I'm not a fan of heavy metal, but I don't say "Omg, it's so terrible!" That's what the majority of music fans say about this style of rap.
Interesting how the narrator gives little credit to 69’s 50k album sales but Lil Durk’s 40k is “massive “
The fact remains: trends come and go, that's nothing new under the sun. Though being more authentic and somewhat versatile and unique and most importantly making good music will make you last through the trends.
word some of these rappers only famous cuz ok gaytok
I knew this would happen one day and I'm all here for it.
That's why I stopped letting it bother me. For this kind of music, it rarely lasts and eventually the fanbase grows up. I knew it was coming and it's hilarious to see all of these kids who were possibly the worst and cringiest generation of hip hop fans get old and the music not being the flavor of the month anymore... while turning into an "old head" thanks to the passage of time LOL

Even though Doja Cat is in your thumbnail, she is killing it right now. I don’t think she is in the same genre or category as the rest of the folk mentioned. She just came into fame during that era by doing clout rap type stuff to break in, but she does so much more with her talent.
She’s definitely not. Idk why he put her on there. She’s going crazy rn.
Especially since she was creating music before her meme song.
She just an industry plant, she’s an entertainer. She does what her label tells her and makes the songs they write for her
@@ahviedinero she makes amazing music even before she was big. Now because she’s big all of a sudden she’s an industry plant? Lol like come on. Yes she has complained about being over worked but she’s been making music since 2014 and recently got popular off her talent.
@@Gaming1Legendz People always try to minimize other people’s success in order to feel better about their lack of. Fact of the matter is Doja has natural talent, personality and was grinding hard, writing and performing music, for a very long time before “the Industry” took notice of her potential to make every one millions of dollars
2016-2018 was weird, there's still some bangers that I play from time to time but its mostly for the memories I associate with them. Going on holidays with my friends and sessioning in the summer. Feel like the popularity of sound cloud rappers opened the flood gates for anyone to try to make an impact, and very few made a lasting one.
I thought the title said "The death of Clown Rap." I think that title is more fitting.
Great topic
It has nothing to do with being in the streets its all about being authentic and having something meaningful to say. That is what hip hop was always about. Those artists failed because they are trash and have nothing to say.

That’s always been a thing in hip hop, it’s just that back then, they was getting money because they had talent. In recent years, it’s been a lot of kids fazed by the money and numbers/charts.

The pandemic humbled a lot of them when people couldn’t go to concerts high off who knows what and just vibe to the beats with other high people.

@Asmodeus Guy And you’re delusional
@@Rellfromthe4 if you mean Lyrically, yeah. sound wise the shit got cranked the fuck up and with this hyperpop stuff i cant stand, it seems like it just keeps progressing. mumble rap seems to be an extreme focus on _melody_ rather than _message,_ like pop. some rappers combine the two and ascend, like kendrick. i personally listened to rock as a kid, didnt know the words but knew the melodies. thats most of that entire genre. so from my view, having more melodic (so Rhythmic, more on beat) rap is perfect. what do you enjoy about lyrical rap?
@@KreepKarnage even sound wise, it devolved.
Nowadays many beats don’t sound innovative, and they sound generic, once you heard one then you pretty much heard them all.

I JUST said this …
I feel sorry for the downfall of these young men, but I can't say I'm Sympothetic to their plight. The music industry has always been about popularity and sales, but hip hop is still the only genre that is defined by the audience as the taste makers. And though it may have been fun for some, big day Kanec said in the art of rap, a good mc can either rock a party or has an undeniable handle for lyricism. Trends come and go, but this is still hip hop. Come correct.
I would agree if musical ability directly correlated with music success. if the music Industry, with it's inner workings and affairs didn't exist and the world was just people finding music on their own and discussing it with others. but that isn't the case, so you're wrong. a MJ will always be successful but acting like every nigga and they mamma is gonna know who DJ Quik is, that's bullshit. there are plenty of people struggling for attention, that doesnt say shit about their art. refer to Prince's early career.

Fr, people don’t realize theres different phases of hip hop, apparently these rappers were part of the “clout era” where you didn’t need to have talent to be popular, now that the clout era is over these “clout” rappers have nothing to put out because it doesn’t fit in with the music going on right now, I kinda feel sad for them but at least they had their time of fun and fame, but when you have true talent it stretches a long run for you

Soundcloud era/ clout rap/ colourful hair and tatted face was the top three significant things you needed is this era I’d also say auto tune and crazy drugs.

J Cole called it
The only thing I could find new in this era was minimal lyricism and colourful hair. Talking about autotune, using autotune isn’t a bad thing. We had someone like Tpain years ago. Talking about tats, I think Lil Wayne was the one brought that trend. And drug usage always been there.

With people like the Island Boys blowing up just recently it's hard to believe "Clout rap" is over.

Bro they are not "blowing up" until they see 20 racks or better for a show
Island Boys are clowned non-stop. No one is checking for them or bumping them in the car. That's the difference. And when we say clout-era is dead, it means it's staying power is over.

Clout Rap for hop = Hair Metal phase for Rock
Let’s talk about how yachty was the only one to mold himself into something that a lot can argue is much better than he used to be. He got with the times without losing himself. Detroit made him into his final form 💯🙌🏾
And he’s still versatile enough to satisfy the other half of his fan base that loves his melodic auto tune style. The man is making the music he wants and is still a big name, at the end of the day all you need is one big song on Tik Tok or the radio/charts to be “on.” Don’t understand the people that claim Yachty “fell off.” A lot of artists would love to be in the position he’s in right now.
It have others not only him
@@marcusisunknown4105 this is specifically about yachty not every artist in the game
@@KingBr33ch you said he was the only one 😐 even tho alot of them did as well look at 21 savage he used to mumble but now you can him clear and has more than one flow he has improved alot
Whenever y’all ready to support a brother who won’t die for this world’s approval, I’m here.
"You got hooked on pretty much anything that WASN'T phonics" had me nearly die laughing
I've been waiting for this to happen since 2015 lol I still can't believe that's what dominated the decade 🤯
since Lyor Cohen became the head of TH-cam
new era starts now, the real is back!
This is brilliant, good watch 🔥
Love how this channel writes 6ix9ine’s epitaph and he gets 5M views in 24hrs
Soulja was right in that breakfast club interview, word for word bar for bar
Lol
Which song is he referring to?
@@akadamaru he's referring to drakes Miss me. Drake did take the first half of the verse from Soulja which came from what's hannien
This was really good. I'm an old head I guess. Very well done, and with a lot of insight. Keep up the great work!
theres a lot of good rap out there now still tho. theres something for everyone, dont sleep
@@papayasmith beast coast rappers for example
Can I get some extra ears on my tracks? Lemme know where I can improve
@@papayasmith of course there is, but as an official old head I'm sorry cautious about what I'm willing to give my attention to.
explains it
The falling off of those rappers ain’t really about clout rap being over. More about 1 hit wonders without much substance naturally cycling out. I don’t think there is this dramatic shift to authenticity that’s happening. There’s still a dime a dozen internet rappers that are popping today that will blow up for a few songs then fizzle out, part of the cycle. If you don’t believe me, look at Tik Tok.
I mean...you're right.
Thats true. I dont think we have seen the last of this shit.
Facts
I was in high school in 2017-2020. This era was honestly fun ngl. Remember chilling in my homies porch just blasting whatever new rapper was on. Good days tbh. Lil Peep one of the ones I still listen to
