Part 1: • Aries Spears: Any Man ...
--------
In this clip, Vlad and Aries Spears discussed the lack of hip hop songs making it to number 1 on the Billboard charts. Bow Wow cited the quality of the music, but Aries argued it goes beyond this, arguing the importance of individual styles, rhythms, cadences, and lyrics in the genre. Aries noted that great rappers have historically taken pride in having their own style, something lacking in today's generation. They concluded by saying that different rappers today can have the same cadence and still capture individual styles. - บันเทิง
"evolution is supposed to move forward not backwards"
well said.
how do you move hip hop forward by using the same old jazz samples a kick and snare we need 808 hit hat reverb.
It depends🤔...now remind me again who's pushing and funding these projects. Maybe the evolution is moving foward in the extinction of the black race. Creating a system of genocidal maniacs who place money above mortality. This play was put into the rap game a long time ago I do believe.
@@LWx1263 exactly that is just being stagnant.
@@LWx1263Not about the instrumentals it’s the lyrics
💯💯💯
I’m half his age and I agree with him. Most hip hop is garbage today
Yep I'm twenty-seven years old and I definitely agree.
Im 19 years old and I totally agree with em.
Vlad fed ass keep interviewing this Pedophile and y’all don’t even gaf🤦🏽♂️
How dare you call it hip hop!
@@kanajingly8957 I'm going to act like a old white person and call it the hippity hop 🤣
“Everybody had their own rhythm, style, and cadence” That sums it up for me. Great debate. Salute.
so do new rappers u cant say dababy sounds like XXXTENTACION
Aries is speaking facts!! Most Rappers in the Trap Rap Era (2011 to present) do sound very similar and are carbon copies of each other, in general! I have been listening to music for over 30 years (I'm 43) and there are great artists and rappers today, but they are the minority over the past decade! The underground is even water-downed today compared to the previous 10-15 years! Mainstream and underground music was better lyrically and sonically going back over the past 20-40 years, in general! Originality in mainstream music has been seriously lacking the past 10-15 years, in general!
listen to more music goofy
Rap songs from the 90s and 2000s were produced like home cooked meals, today’s tracks are produced like happy meals from McDonald’s.
I agree. These new songs are like paint by numbers pictures from the 80s. Thugs = Green, Money= red, Guns= blue Hos=purple lean=orange
Wow bro… that’s the best analogy I’ve heard pertaining to this topic. Respect 💯
@@zendavis3501I was just about to type the same thing.
@@seanolusina6058 great minds 🧠 think alike my dude lol.
What size preacher's robe do you wear? I need to go 'head and put in an order to the tailor.
Aries Spears is 100 percent correct!
He’s also 100% a Pedophile and you Goofy mfers seem to forget that, either y’all just ignorant enough to not gaf or y’all twisted too🤦🏽♂️
I think one of the biggest problems with the younger generation is they came into the game already lacking respect for the previous generations so every lesson that could've been learned was ignored and now here we are...hundreds of rappers with no talent who all sound the same bc they were spitefully trying to distance themselves from artists that were greater than them
Why do you think they lacked the respect? Always seems like the previous generations were inspired by the generations that came before.
@@nategreatgames78 There's always going to be a rebellious spirit within the youth. The difference is in generations before there was a greater understanding of why you should respect previous generations. These 20 year olds just don't care bc they don't understand that the world they're living in is 100x easier than what it was even in just the 90's. Without understanding there is no respect.
@@nategreatgames78All those want to be lil whatever lil pump disrespect j Cole some of them say f*** the OG this is where the disrespect at
Aries is spitting straight facts. Hip hop is DEAD!!!!
Yeah..... I hate to say it l, but you are right.
Hip-hop is dead.
Vlad fed ass keep interviewing this Pedophile and y’all don’t even gaf🤦🏽♂️
*mainstream* Hip-hop is dead. Underground hip-hop is flourishing.
@@KlitKommander underground been great
This is CAP! This is the most diverse styles we've ever seen in hip hop! Everyone in the 90s sounded EXACTLY THE SAME!
There’s two types of people. People who search for good music. And people who listen to what the labels give them. In every era.
Ooooh that’s facts
100%. old heads stay stuck in their ways
@@barefoot_ty People tend to forget the music they grew up on was trash to their parents. Everyone thinks their era was the best.
@@og_mante5138I hate this era but that’s most definitely true
Facts
That went right over Vlad's head. What Aries was saying was so simple and yet so true. He basically was just saying everyone had their own style that was different from other popular artists (of course there are always copycats). He wasn't saying whether someone changed their style or kept the same style throughout their career, not sure how Vlad even took it that way
shiiid thats how i perceived it at first before aries broke it down.ppl just think differently but i understood what he meant afterwards which was true
Because Vlad is biased and stupid
Everything goes over Vlds head. Hes a delusional fan boy.
Vlad's not really a student of the culture. I've seen many things of the culture go over his head yet he claims to be a historian of hip hop & black culture.
Vlads an idiot.
I love how Aries is like me... stuck in the 90s
Aries speaking facts…Hip hop now is horrendous
Aries Spears is 1000% right.
And I'm 21 years old. It ain't about the age of the listener, it's about how advanced his/her taste in music is.
Vlad fed ass keep interviewing this Pedophile and y’all don’t even gaf🤦🏽♂️
Taste In Music isn’t an IQ thing lol it’s more a personality type of thing no one is smarter because they listen to Tupac Vs Chief Keef 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Balmighty7statistics show otherwise if you listen to rap today chances are you're probably a human as for the past back then listening to music made you a human being
He's 100% correct. I'm not gonna sit here and say I don't listen to some new stuff but he's right. All this music is low frequency. Outside of mainstream there's definitely dope artist but what's being pushed is weak.
Yep. I've been saying this. I don't care what people say. It's whack....Super whack.... I'm an OG.....Our basketball was better too 😂
mane eye agree wit bof’ yall ass mane… ✌🏿😄
I hear a song today and can't figure out who it was BK on the 80$ I knew when I heard it who it was I think today kids just love their vibe as we did I'm 59 bout to be 60 I love these new cats cause it's their time my time is here but not highlighted nomore I'm cool with that
I lowkey blame Jay-Z and Wayne. When they started telling the public that they didn’t write their lyrics, that’s when everybody else stopped writing and just punching in. People think it’s a flex to say “I don’t gotta write” but it’s really not. The best songs come when they take the time to think and come up with great music; not just blurting out random shi- when the beat comes on.
@@rongooden6545 eggzackly
Finally! Thank you. I was starting to think I was the only one who felt this way.
Thank you Aries you’re not alone please don’t feel like you are I feel the same way so do millions of others
millions of close minded weirdos
The problem with music today is that everyone is rapping about the same thing. There is no variety. Women are rapping about their vagina and the men are rapping about drilling. I can admit that and I’m 20 years old. Back in the 90s you had the gangster, conscious, and soul rap. Everyone was able to shine. Labels today only sign rappers who rap about ghetto shit and it’s getting repetitive💯‼️
💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯
Dat ghetto shit is a ploy to influence ignorance all throughout the younger black generation so da Yung niggas make it to see da penitentiary n keep da prison population full because prison is a billion dollar industry that da masses profit from. Yung females preaching a agenda to do away with black men n will eventually have no desire to create fully black babies cus dey being programmed to see da black man as the enemy. In conclusion Operation Black Population Control is actively being executed for a future of keeping da black community as da minority
You're generation is clueless about life and it's sad you guys are messing it up for the younger generation like there's only 2 Genders Male and Female that's it 😂
Watch "the secret meeting that changed hip-hop"
Women rapper now is so nasty mean we had lil Kim but she was nasty all her song but she was real with it. Girls rapper now rap about nasty shit in they don’t be real with it…
I'm 23 and I agree, rap has become homogenised by the internet, there are still some artists putting out orignal stuff but they don't get the recognition they deserve, everyone who's popular sucks
Because of the Internet antics sell albums as much if not more than the music.
Fax I’m 26 and I agree wholeheartedly. Everybody just bumps what’s hot nowadays and know about good music.
Then give them the recognition and take the attention away from the others.
Roc Marci... Griselsa
I agree. But you know what? That's kinda how its always been. The commercial stuff played over and over is the worst of the worst. You only find the best stuff when you listen to the album and say "Hey......this is better than what I keep hearing on the radio and internet"
Say that sir ! I need you to do a documentary on Hip Hop Aries..you need your own podcast geared towards hip hop ol school letssss goooo 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯
This Is Why I Forever Love Oldies Music I Agree Bro 🐐🔥🤘🏾😎
Yup!
He feels the same way I do about todays ( So called ) music.
Hey…🙋🏽♂️, sincerely me too! Hahaha
Me too
@@reshaundunkley9669 It’s sad…. What happened to good HIP HOP ?
@@Taino871What happened to coherent lyrics and good beats?
Most rappers mumble in they verses.
It's like walking in a mile, ANYONE can mumble incoherently.
Plus, why is trap music so damn popular? It's like young people don't like music anymore.
@@kenterminateddq5311 I can’t agree more. The denigrating of our music is sad.
I agree w/ Aries, as a 37 year old man, there isn’t any real lyricism in dis generation
Cordae, Denzel Curry, Joey Badass, J.I.D, Kendrick, Pusha, Conway, Vince Staples all dropped amazing lyrical albums last year. and you say there isn’t any real lyricism this generation?
@@barefoot_tywith the exception of Kendrick none of those other artists can be called the "face" of modern hip hop. Their music is not what's being pushed. Also, Pusha isn't from "this generation"
@@andreworrell8407 who is considered the “face of modern hip hop”
@@barefoot_tyDrake & Ice Spice
@@barefoot_tyyou need to get a new calendar dude. Pusha is 46 years old and been rapping since the late 90s he's not even close to this generation and Joey Wackazz and a few of those other dudes you named are absolute doo doo. You really gotta step your bar up a bunch of notches if you think that is high level lyricism it's not.
These are facts 💯
Facts💯
Aries hit it on the nail with this one☑
Naw, he hit it on the side.
@@jhammasterSome people love trash while others don't
There's guilty pleasure and there's garbage. Don't tell me that garbage is good because you like it. Facts don't care about your feelings. And if you embrace bs with emotions then you're irrational.
Busta Rhymes, Eminem, 50 Cent, Snoop, Master P, Jadakiss, Cam’ron, Biggie, Ice Cube, 2pac, OutKast, Bone Thugs, DMX, Big Pun, Mase, Fat Joe, Jay Z, Nas, Coolio, Clipse, Wu-Tang, Missy, Lil Kim, Da Brat and the list goes on regarding the unique sounds my generation had from one another and they all thrived and co-existed 💯
And all of them are far bigger artists than any of these niggas now. Vlad be trying to act stupid for stupid sake.
Bro most of the New York niggas you names made a similar sub-genre of hip hop at key moments of their careers. Camron didn’t change his style until the 2000s but go listen to his first album. Same shit with the infinite by Eminem. You’re also naming guys and woman from regions with similar sounds because hip hop has always been REGIONAL!
@@pandabear1576
Not always, but Hip Hop became regional in the 1990’s…especially when the South started to develop a huge and profitable underground scene. Even Wu Tang had to cancel shows in Houston and Dallas back in the 90’s because tickets weren’t selling. We had our own sound down here.
And how do you miss A Tribe Called Quest? Just because they weren't the braggadocios type of artists you commonly see in Hip Hop?
But I like that list you still put out generally speaking.
How did you leave lil wayne off that list?? Dude been killing rappers since the 90s
I had to listen to this twice it was so good
Aries just made a hit song, just right there on the spot.
I agree with Aries now days you can put 500 new artists in a bag and shake them up and randomly pick 10 and they will sound the same
Perfectly said 💯
As someone born in the 80s although I'm not as old as Aries but today's hip-hop is 🚮 compared to the 90s and 00s
Born in 1983, agree 100%. I don't hear anything- I'd pay money to have in my home.
Facts! And I’m not even an old head either
no it isn't it's fire
Artist are making the music people want to hear in the current era. Nobody wants to sound old school cause that isn't where the money/record sells is at.
Just because a person can rap and use his own voice with no autotune machines you call it old school?
@@WarAgeTVWhat the hell are you talking about? Look up the word "old school" if you don't know what it means.
Big facts preach man
How can you be in the hip hop culture for 20 plus years & not understand or disagree with what Aries has said. Wow.
vlad is a hype beast
Vlad a weirdo as usual
Because hip hop is gentrified. Most people don't even know what hip hop is. It's a culture, not a genre.
Cus vlad is an industry plant
@@younglove3362 Most ppl who like to talk about Hip Hop, aint never LIVED Hip Hop, they just along for the ride.
Hot Take, most of them are white people. Just saying, dont shoot the messenger, i said it.
Where's the lie?
I have to agree with Spears here. I have respect for Aries here.
No lies detected
1090 Jake has been stalking me and has had females rape me while he chloroforms me. My parents are in on it. Even the cops and hospitals I've gone to. I've tried exposing it to people in comments in multiple TH-camrs vids and they delete my comments cause they all know what's going on. But everyone believes these celebs and TH-camrs are pure hearted people , and follow everything they say and do.
No lies at all 👏👏👏
Absolutely none
Couldn't agree more!
So true!
Aries Spears can single handedly revive the entire hip-hop industry!
BTW, I graduated early to old-head status in my 20's and I'm now in my mid-30's 😆
Same here as far as graduating. You know you're aging out of hip-hop and youth culture once you no longer like the mainstream.
Remember when we were teens/young adults and Ice-T said Soulja Boy was the issue in rap? He was half-right, but damn wouldn't we all pay to go back to that time compared to now...
@@T.H.E.O.R.Y.he was a 16 year old kid...
@T.H.E.O.R.Y. Absolutely! I mean, I took it to the extreme being an early old-head. This was when the industry was shoving Lil Wayne (I prefer 1st wave Cash Money Wayne) Drake, Migos, etc down our throats as the faces of hip-hop...not my cup of tea. Take it further back, I was a teenager when last of a dying breed hip-hop was in the last leg of prime: Ruff Ryders/Rocafella/Dipset/G-Unit 🔥
@@T.H.E.O.R.Y.no he is exactly like Aries spears. I hate the 80s people they all hate on new things. Like old people that don’t like computers. If a rapper nowadays would rap like the old days old people would complain about that. Aries spears please stfu.
@@sharksisland9964 that was right before my teenage man. I remember being 11 when Fif dropped GRODT and 12 when Ye dropped College Dropout.
Aries is 100% on point. Everybody had their own style then. Now.......👎🏿
They don't have their own style + the style being put out is shit quality as well.
I couldn't tell you who 85% of these lames are these days, they all sound the same with that auto tuned mumble mouth garbage
so your gonna tell me 2018 6IX9INE sounds like Lil Baby ?
@@_Spider4they all trash
Facts 💯
YES! Glad you BSing HARD right now.
Facts, I don't see no holes in his argument. Aries on point.
With 90's music an artist had to make themselves stand out since there wasn't that many outlets for hip hop rap music. Once rap went pop in the 2000's music industry is flooded with rappers due to the large number of platforms that sprung up. That being said a lot of the new rappers use the same formula to get on instead of being truly unique with there flow, cadence and song content.
💯💯💯💯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Sad but true
U right the 2000' s was dope too
U right the 2000' s was dope too
You didn’t have to stand out at all if you were in nyc. All you had to do was know people who could get you played on Hot97.
I listen to all types of music, going back even to the 1920s plus classical artists like Mozart, Vivaldi, and Tchaikovsky. Oldies are my favorite, particularly 40s-90s. It depends on my mood that day what I listen to. 80s rock is always a jam, 70s disco is sexy and fun, Motown in the 60s always makes me happy, and those 1950s musicals and soft jazz always make me wanna dance, they're so relaxing and wholesome but always being slept on. Damn I get so excited just thinking about all these genres. And I still go back to my childhood music of the 90s and 2000s. 2010s was very EDM but had GREAT music for me to dance to in college and in my 20s. I hardly listen to the new music today, but when I do it's usually pop. Hip-Hop been declining and getting worse in recent years. It went out with the 2010s. Synth pop and rhythmic R&B, like Afrobeats, I think are what's going to dominate the 2020s. We got alot of Lofi TH-cam channels now, those are a vibe too...

Facts!
Vald knew what he was talking about... He just didn't want to admit he was right because the new rappers wouldn't do his show anymore 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
He’s right. This generation of rap (so called rap ) is lame, wack, corny, repetitive, etc. Everybody sound the same, thanks to that tired auto-tube, oops… I meant auto tunes, b’s. That was on purpose. Just Entertainment as a whole, even movies are wack. Coupled with the female empowerment/feminism b’s. You can’t even say anything of truth anymore without getting backlash because this society has grown soft. Hell, even the food don’t taste the same. That’s why I don’t mess with none of these rappers. In fact, I have out grown rap. I Only mess with the 80’s new retro wave music, MJ, Phil Collins, prince, King George, and reggae.. Call me old, but in reality you’re just calling me a classic.
Bro being born 88 I strongly feel my generation was the last era of somewhat decent hip hop when you had to bring the substance there was no other choice or you just didnt get heard . We came out of the womb to classic hip hop when cats were still trying to move the culture forward, but I would say after the early 2000s rap started to really fall off and we got into that superman Soulja boy bs that got Nas saying hip hop was dead and this was over 15 years ago. Hip hop never quite recovered from that infection it only got worse from the early warnings.

Vlad is wrong on this one. Qtip constantly changed the style up. His voice was the same but Qtip tried many styles
Wish Vlad would shut the fuck up and let the person he interviewing do the talking! Can’t stand that Mann..
Vlad the fool knows what he is doing, he ain’t going to trash this era of rappers, they are going to be his future money.
Vlad is wrong the majority time what are you talking about?
Vlad is more wrong than he is right. TF you mean "this one"... 😅
Yep he even did a whole singing album
Preach
Aries speaking Facts 💯💯💯
Vlad needs to stop speaking on hip-hop he sounded like a moron in this interview! Props to Aries for keeping it a 💯 & telling the truth! 95 percent of today's hip-hop is trash!
Im 25 and i still listen to 80, 90s and 2000s hiphop and Michael jackson, prince, james brown, bee gees, and dmx and bone thugs nd much more
Aries is telling facts! As a dope Emcee myself I endorse this message!
Aries on point 1 million percent!
That one flew way over Vlad's head. He meant EVERYONE had the SAME flow. And thats hard to argue now. And his examples were still wrong. Jay-Z for example.... He started off rapping fast. He slowed it down by Reasonable doubt. That's was added the fuel to the QB beef. They felt like his was jacking their style.
QB definitely stupid if they think jayz had to jack anything from them
@@JohnKing-jz9zb That's what is was, bro. Nas said "He used to rap like the f
Fooshnickens". Also Prodigy would said they was jacking their slang copying them doing videos in the projects. I don't necessarily agree, but Jay is notorious from borrowing lines here and there, so it's not far fetched.
Jay Z a Biter. Steals others material. Without it he would've sounded like Future cause he can't freestyle for sh**
I can mess with that halfway there song. But you going across the pond for your rap now lol
I listen to 90's hip hop and today's hip hop and there's a HUGE difference. Everything Aries just said is a 100000000% FACT!!!!
Most not all, KEYWORD is Most. Most of today's hip-hop sounds exactly the same. Not only do MOST rappers sound alike, but most of these producers' beats sound the same as well. I remember when you can tell the difference between all producers beats by a specific sound they used. Today, you can only tell who's beat it is because the beat makers now say their name at the start of the beat.
Them rappers like yeat, playboi carti, underground rappers, and female rappers are killing the idea of good music. People always make excuses for them when you call em trash
So true
preach!!!!!!!!! Aries rules
Aries is 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 I agree and have been saying this to friends and some young folks for a while now, especially my kids.🎯🎯🎯🎯👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
I'm 26 and I STRONGLY AGREE 💯
He hit it spot on Totally agree!! WE had different varieties to choose from. Now everything sounds the same😢
Very true
I never thought Bow Wow had bars.....but he had catchy songs and flow. Today its mumble rap and autotune whining and every song sounds the same
I was born in ‘95 and growing up I was deeply in love with everything hiphop that was before my time. Kid n play, EPMD, KRS, LL, public enemy. I loved every single thing about hiphop up until the wiz khalifa era ended. I hate when people use that stupid excuse “oldheads are stuck in their era.” Nah….back in the day, I seen older people jammin Nelly, g-unit, dmx, Luda, all the upcoming early 2000 artists gettin turnt at gathering 😂😂
this is( IN MY OPINION) the worst generation of hiphop music I’ve ever witnessed. There is a couple exceptions tho. Kendrick, cole, Joyner, J.I.D, Griselda, Dave east, hell I’d even throw logic into the conversation. This is the very first time I’ve ever turned my back on hiphop without no regret. I just hope it finds its place again. “Forward, not backwards.”💯💯👏🏾
All the Hip Hop Lyricists and Poets you mention are on my list of best Hip Hop Story tellers of the past 10-15 years! I would add Conway The Machine, Billy Woods, Denzel Curry, Danny Brown, Big K.R.I.T., Injury Reserve, Curren$Y, Bas, Omen, Vince Staples, Westside Boogie, Schoolboy Q, Dom Kennedy, Westside Gunn, and a few others I can't remember of the top of my head right now! The Mumble Rappers and Trap Rappers are the ones that have mostly watered-down the music, in general!
@@izamalcadosa2951 THANK YOU!!👏🏾💯💯
Everybody you named is HIP-HOP! I have nothing against these dudes that are out, it's just their music is super detrimental asf to the community in a fucked up way. It's not soul food anymore, it's fast food.
I'm old and white but regardless I'll take Future, Thugga, Sosa, NBA YoungBoy and Kodak Black over Logic, Joyner Lucas or J.Cole.

Is it just me but does it seem like as the years have gone by Big L is getting more and more love? Really love it true definition of a MC
He's right, Vlad just didn't understand Aries' POV. I almost had the same convo with a girl just a week ago where I said that everybody sounds the same and have crazy face tattoos and rainbow hair.
She then said I shouldn't be judging rappers by how they look. I told her that almost every rapper with face tattoos these days is just whack. Then she brought up the worst example: Lil Wayne
Girl tf? This man could rap way before he had all of that. Prime Lil Wayne is a menace. Ain't no way a dude like YoungBum NBA could outrap Wayne let alpne touch him lyrically..... cmon now.
I know hes invested and just can't be honest because he has to appeal to these trash rappers just in case, he wants an interview instead of being honest about the state of hip hop its been trash for over a decade
@@ryanr20091 Big facts
These rappers today they lack emotion their lyrics doesn't move you or give you chills. Social media has made it that way. Everything is a swipe away.
U funny af man
💯
Nobody sounded like Bone thugs, nobody sounded like wu tang, no one sounded like busta rhymes, twista, scarface, pac, biggie, mystikal, snoop..... can go on and on. Everyone did their on thing Vlad!
WTF didn’t Vlad understand? He never said rappers changed their flow, he said every rapper back then had their own individual style. Everyone didn’t sound the exact same, like today’s whatever TF they call themselves!
Vlad understands he’s playing dumb he likes all the dumb shit that’s out He’s white so he wants black people to portray negative stereotypes & project ignorance
Reckless speculation: Vlad understands what Aries is saying. As someone who claims to grown up in the Culture, Vlad knows there is a big difference in the musical quality between now and the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, even the Blog Era/early ‘10s. But he also understands that his goals as a business owner must be placed ahead of his feelings as a participant in the Culture. He doesn’t want to mess up potential relationships and interviews with this era’s rappers. They generate views for his site which creates as revenue for his company.
@@PMurfy83 Aint reckless speculation at all. That's literally what Vlad is doing so that these new "rappers" will continue to come on his platform.
All trash
That’s not true though. If you did gangsta rap you had a distinct style. If you did mafioso rap in nyc like 96 Nas , Jay, and biggie you also had a similar style and cadence you rapped like. If you’re apart of a sub genre you’ll mimic that sub genre. Same way drill rappers from Chicago rap a distinct way but unlike Niggas like Kanye, Lupe, or common.
Truths Spoken 😎
💯💯💯👑💯💯💯
I totally agree
Vlad is afraid of agreeing that the new music is trash because of the backlash or canceling he will get
Big facts he 100% right on this one, all today's rappers sound like 1 cd
I agree 💯
I agree 100 percent.
Vlad damn near pushing 60 and still doesn't get it with this rapshit
He knows exactly what's going on but what would you expect from a "culture vulture"
Vlad is 50
Hes right. Todays music u can't tell if its r&b or rap cause its labeled & sounds the same. U could tell the difference even when u weren't a fan. Now if u let person that's not fan listen they couldn't tell u what genre it is. That's why its lumped in the same category in music award shows. It was happening in country music & the gate keepers of country shut that shit down. It took Ol town road for them to see it.
I often don't agree with a lot of Aries' takes on anything he talks about in these interviews, but he's spot on with his take on the current state of Hip Hop Music, IMO
I'm in the same age group as him, and the last real rap artists our age group can get into was Kendrick. Anyone who came after him may have a few songs here and there that we'd like, but nothing more than that.
Rap has lost its way, man. Future is a mumble rapper
Future had his own style. The problem is that alot of the rap game started sounding like Future's style.
@@leatherface964Future definitely has his own original style, but he’s still a child of Lil Wayne.
@@leatherface964yeah but the lyrics is the same crap is all about designer clothes , Bitches , money etc
FACTS PLUS TAX! Right now, Battle rap is the most popular form of rap. It's because the mumble rappers are ruining everything..
Gonna respect Aries opinion on subjects because most of the time he makes a good point
Facts on facts
💯..all rappers had their own lane back in the day..
Aries is 100% correct.
I'm right there next to you in my rocking chair Aries, you started noticing the decline in the 2000s and after 2010 they just got progressively worse. 80s/90s hip hop will slaughter these lames today.
Aries is 100% right, I'm 39 and i remember hearing first hearing nas, pac, big, jay, Wu, kanye, OutKast, ugk, geto boys, i can go on and on but my point is non of them sounded the same, hip hop is supposed to be an art form, but today it's like a painting with a bunch of replicas
I’m 35 I remembered naughty by nature came out and snoop debut on deep cover song
Grew up with those guys. Stuff changed…
I like the jelly bean analogy💯
Exactly somebody wit some sense....finally
Me personally of the current generation I like J.Cole, Kendrick, big krit, and dave east. Krit is my favorite of those four because his music has substance and he's very relatable
That totally went over Vlad's head.
I grew up when bow wow was in movies as a kid. I grew up listening and bumping his pops music so of course I respect bow wow.
I was out wat out of high-school when bow wow was becoming big but I was getting into immortal technique, snow goonz, swollen members at the time.
I give Aries a like off the top bc he’s saying things that REALLY need to be said
Did you just say you give Aries a like “off the top” ? Wow 😮
