@shakahislop and lastly this feeling of newness it doesn't just apply to "current" music it's also a feeling you can get from listening to old music that is new to you
and the more you listen to that the more you realise how cyclical it all is and you figure out what songs they're making refferences to through samples or quotes etc you'll get past that and its more about how do they reinterpret this old stuff in different and surprising ways which has a longer much longer life span than just chasing after that which is current because it can lock you into a kind of tunnel vision much like the same conservative rap fans you get glimpses of via friends and social media.
all that talk of what rap should sound regardless of whatever corner of rap fandom is all rooted in the same kind of reactionary impulses anyway i gurantee you there's people out there wondering how we went from having rappers like Lil Ugly Mane and Zelooperz to now having rappers like Tisakorean, Tony Shhnow and Babytron
and i think Lil ugly mane and Zelooperz are TERRIBLE
