Case by case. Some rappers think tricky clever rhymes are a paramount. Mostly they think whatever sells is paramount. Name a specific rapper.

I think he's asking if there's any kind of musical philosophy central to hip hop/rap similar to punk.

Your response sort of shows that there isn't.

There definitely is NOT.

I just imagine wherever there are rappers that are more concerned about, you know, making music rather than $$$, is where the gold is at

You have to understand that the current state of fragmentation allows for the fringes of the genre to flourish without impediment from corporate interests. It's not like the days where you couldn't do both. Also, the instantaneous flooding of the markets makes following the leader less likely to be at all fruitful. The influence that Detroit house or jungle may have had on the London rave scene, for example, if it took two years for the ideas to circulate back then it takes two weeks now. Lack of a need or desire for innovation isn't a problem at this point. Again it comes down to the same thing but they don't have the same power structures to rebel against today. I keep hearing that's not the point. But in reference to punk it has to be.

The album cover is so awesome. It's funny they hate this guy because he gives them nothing to hate. I think you might kind of like it. It's just pop music.

Just checked it out and it's kinda sorta great maybe. I went back and listened to the Lil Boat the Mixtape to see if I my opinion had changed, and I guess I like Lil Yachty now.

Honestly, this thread is the first time I've heard of this kind of music. What's worth checking out?
