It's fucking impossible to discuss now without some racist shit being said. I remember regularly being able to discuss it as little as 5 years ago so what the fuck happened

because it has been shoved down on throats everywhere for the past 20 years even though it hardly does anything musically interesting and gets by on lyrical content. we're fucking tired of it.

Just popped back in here for the first time since maybe 2018 and it's sad how slow it is now.

Everyone left here is either too old for discord or banned from discord so it cultivates a certain type of person.

all true
There are /pol/fags obsessed with dunking on rap, but you also can't get very far with the genre. Rap is limited by the lack of its own melodic language, and nowadays especially is too dependent on digital arrangement and production to be spontaneous or organic.
Hip-hop is music that often forgoes melody for the rhythm of lyrics and drum loops, which does allow new possibilities, but the trade-off is creatively costly and unappealing to many who like music for its melody. Because of this, a lot of hip-hop sampling piggybacks off the creations of jazz/funk/rock/etc musicians for melody and other memorable musical phrases. Not that sampling is stealing or has no other purpose, but its frequently a crutch. When rap does have melody, it's vocal melodies like in pop, which are almost always limited in comparison to instrumental melodies, or synth melodies which can be found in electronic music. There's a reason rock blew up in the 20th century and lasted so long; its melodic capabilities.
Modern hip-hop (other genres as well) is often made entirely in a DAW, which limits creative interaction between musicians, snaps every beat and synth note to a grid, and can even pitch correct everything to be inorganically perfect. The bulk of why J Dilla is so fondly spoken of is that he decided not to gridlock his beats.
So in short I think hip-hop is close to exhausting its lifespan as prime popular music genre, for the time being. I think within a decade (assuming that AIslop doesn't smother everything) the popular music space will be contested by pop, electronic, and a small rock resurgence, with rap clinging onto relevance if hasn't lost it entirely by then.
