Rap been dead for at least 2 decades damn near at this point, so im not surprised by this like the others in the comments are. Hip-Hop and Rap became too socially aware for the masses by the 90s and so they dumbed it down with Gangsta Rap first, Slut Rap second, Pop Rap third and then Mumble Rap was the nail in the coffin after it's slight resurgence of authentic rap back in the early 2010s.

Granted, we had a few artist sprout up as real MCs with something to say in the recent years but none of them stand a chance against the legends that came before them and as long as they have something beneficial to say, they will always be silenced. Like Trump said, "we want a less woke society..." Sad thing is most of them arent making music as much or are flopping on arrival. Music is no longer a universal language that binds but more so a personal choice of indulgence now. It's sad to see smh.
