00:01:05.000
we know nothing is the same a couple years ago hip-hop was the biggest genre in the world
00:01:11.380
guys like Roddy Ricch and Polo G what happened to them Polo G they're saying he dropped a 40
00:01:17.480
album song and people don't talk about it every rapper is now streaming because there's more

0.93
00:01:57.840
mind what the fuck happened these are the five stages of a culture shift
0.95
00:02:04.840
let's see i can't try to think of the top five stage one guess some chat beginning
0.95
00:02:16.460
We're here at the tail end of Obama's presence.
00:02:20.800
Instagram filters and Vine v-necks are at their peak.
00:02:32.440
and Happy by Pharrell Williams is the biggest song on the planet.
00:02:44.880
yeah we can look back at it with roasting a glass of all so a lot of school shootings
00:02:53.540
you know this was uh peak school shooting isis era as well yeah you guys remember that i mean
00:03:00.760
if happy dropped today it would flop diabolically become a tiktok meme and get categorized as
00:03:07.120
co-worker music all within a 48 hour window everything is corny now everything is ironic
00:03:12.420
everything is or farming everything is performative wouldn't stay like this for long though
00:03:17.180
as behind all the corny enthusiasm in the pop sphere change was coming in the most unexpected
00:03:24.640
form pre-tik-tok fetty wapera at one point been a massively successful and influential genre
00:03:34.660
By the time 2014 rolled around, though, it seemed like those days were long gone and that the once giant cultural force was on its last legs.
00:03:44.240
Some may have disagreed, but the charts certainly seemed to point in that direction, as 2014 statistically marked the lowest presence the genre had on there in a long time.
00:03:54.440
Mainstream hip-hop was dead, and the genre needed a spark, a wave that would pull it back up to the center of everyone's attention.
00:04:04.660
In another corner of society, though, that was already happening.
00:04:07.840
There is growing outrage tonight after an unarmed African-American teenager was shot and killed by police in the St. Louis suburb.
00:04:17.400
Leading up to 2015, several disconnected examples of inequality had managed to cross over from online virality to nationwide.
00:04:25.120
Like Pete Kendrick Lamar, this was the start of the BLM psyop.
0.90
00:04:29.540
They're mad. I'm mad. We should all be mad, man.
00:04:32.740
We should all be angry because of what's going on right now.
00:04:48.080
We're asking for games to acknowledge that we exist
00:05:01.760
rise of social media there was a growing feeling that everyday people now had the power to make a
00:05:07.040
actual change nobody really knew at the time but this was only the beginning of something much
00:05:11.920
greater in stage one the seat is planted the foundational idea is shared amongst the collective
00:05:17.520
the vibes are in the air okay and now it's up for people to grab them and make them into something
00:05:22.640
real most movements stop here but every so often they move into stage two rise
00:05:31.760
Seeing the stale atmosphere, hip-hop's veterans.
0.77
00:05:34.600
2016 was the best year for hip-hop since, like, the 90s.
00:05:53.140
Music-wise, you can understand why people look back and glaze that year.
00:06:02.460
Hold up, hold up, Thug wanna play some new shit
1.00
00:06:12.020
She's sucking her dick on a plane and I just got her out here
1.00
00:06:17.940
These so-called mumble rappers didn't take pride in their lyricism or messaging
1.00
00:06:26.720
they just put all their focus into energy swag and melodies they were seen as a joke okay most
00:06:33.900
people didn't take them seriously so they did i loved the 2016 xxl freestyle 21 savage uzi
00:06:40.540
yadi kodak i love that cypher i remember people clowning on it so much because a lot of purple
00:06:45.980
hair the drip was different i remember seeing that and thinking like this is the wave this is
00:06:51.540
what's going to dominate hip-hop and it was right like those guys are still up on top now and it
00:06:56.020
hasn't been replaced those are those are the number one people rappers in the industry see it
00:07:00.660
coming but over time these artistic choices would form into a distinctive sound and aesthetic in
00:07:06.260
the underground and soon enough with nothing happening in the mainstream these fresh ideas
00:07:11.540
would begin rapidly gaining traction by the time 2016 rolled around soundcloud artists were blowing
00:07:22.220
all of a sudden man i'm feeling nostalgic it was the xanax soundcloud era there was some bad
0.97
00:07:46.620
things about it but man culturally and look at the difference now like you guys are talking about
00:07:52.240
vick mensa and saying he was like he was also 2016 but look what vick mensa is doing today
00:07:57.500
you know i'm not calling him out but this is what he feels is going to keep him culturally
00:08:03.820
culturally just murdered a woman in minneapolis the ice killed a white woman which is interesting
00:08:08.600

0.99
00:10:31.260
Back into the real world, things are heating up.
00:10:34.340
As Trump gets elected president, more and more people start feeling a responsibility
00:10:41.480
At this point in time, the outrage we saw at the start of the decade started becoming
00:10:47.480
As useless as that sounds, they actually made a difference.
00:10:51.400
The Me Too movement exposed high-profile predators and sent a lot of them to jail.
00:11:34.820
Bill Cosby, R. Kelly, Weinstein, and Kevin Spacey.
00:11:46.520

1.00
00:12:50.400
don't care. You don't have an option. You have to stand up, speak up, act up.
00:13:00.020
Skip 2017. Well, 2017 was like, in some ways, a lot of a continuation. Very similar year.
00:13:06.380
Young Don's talking smack. I mean, look, Young Don, you got my phone number. We used to talk
00:13:11.840
a lot more when you you left content uh to do your thing and yeah i mean he could hit me up if
00:13:17.400

0.99
00:13:54.560
you had travis scott was still doing his thing peak fortnite remember when fortnite first dropped
00:14:00.460
that's when you know maybe that is slop but that is when i was able to forget about stuff for a
00:14:06.160
while that was the best game best new game to drop in a while i don't play it anymore
00:14:10.240
The end of the decade, those who never had a voice increasingly started banding together and seeing the positive effects their actions could now have, thought to themselves, maybe we can actually do this.
00:14:23.820
Stage two occurs when all those people who shared a common idea in stage one start linking up, connecting, building towards a common goal.
00:14:31.520
The new wave is in full effect and ascending rapidly into stage three peak.
00:14:40.240
Stage 3 marks the peak of the movement's popularity as the average Joe comes to discover what
00:14:51.720
The Thing, whatever it is, then becomes increasingly commercial and accessible for mass consumption.
00:14:57.320
At this point, your alcoholic uncle will bring up Thing at a family gathering.
0.99
00:15:02.000
The problem they have is that I don't give a fuck.
0.99
00:15:08.300
parents ask you about Thing. SNL makes an awkward skit on Thing, which will make you slightly
00:15:16.800
Man, SNL fell off so hard, it's like this completely got replaced by streaming.
0.99
00:15:28.280
What happened to Pete Davidson? He got Ye's kids tattooed on him, and then since then,
1.00
00:15:33.500
what's he doing? Sometimes he is pretty funny. He's a decent stand-up comedian, but guy like
00:15:37.900

0.99
00:15:46.060

00:15:51.900

0.97
00:15:56.760
yeah you need to be put in a five minute timeout for that one gotta give you a timeout on that
00:16:02.440
take five minutes to think about what you just said nothing could possibly prepare people for
00:16:07.520
what was about to come good evening and thank you for joining us we are going to begin right now
00:16:12.540
with breaking news because the world health organization has declared the coronavirus
00:16:17.060

00:16:23.360

0.92
00:16:28.680

0.99
00:16:35.600
family viruses coming stop touching niggas hands this was the era of face masks zoom meetings
1.00
00:16:43.460
among us sessions and tiktok videos i'm in a house bored bored in a house and i'm in a
00:16:49.460
house and to make matters worse nearly a decade of protests culminated in the explosion that
00:17:38.360
Movement has unleashed a wave of protests against racism worldwide.
00:17:42.820
If you've exhausted every option of peaceful protest for decades and the prosecution of police still hasn't changed, what would you do?
0.96
00:17:54.080
Seem to be dedicated to change in a way that I can't remember anything like this in my life.
0.99
00:17:58.840
The state of pop culture showed us that racial awareness was mandatory,
0.95
00:18:03.560
LGBTQ appreciation was necessary, and that social justice was cool.
00:18:21.080
He looks like he's doing Jesse Pinkman here.
1.00
00:18:35.820
Next, in what is possibly my second favorite story this month,
00:18:38.380
Netflix and Amazon Prime came together to fight homophobia.
00:18:45.360
Sorry you've yet to realize that every gay person is very necessary.
0.80
00:18:58.200
And you know, it dominates Instagram reels now.
00:19:06.280
Like people are putting edits of leaders from the thirties.
00:19:22.260
And folks, tune into the radio to hear the number one song in the country, Montero.
00:19:33.120
Lil Nas X really sold his soul to the devil to get nothing.
00:19:36.500
Imagine selling your soul to Satanism and you don't see any returns.
00:19:47.700
Lil Nas is gay he like gay as shit yeah was that your did you not know that until the video
1.00
00:20:07.700
girl boss main leads dominated tv I belong to no one she's just rarely by the way wait did
0.99
00:20:17.160
you find in the IDF? I think people found out why she was getting shilled by Hollywood so much.
00:20:21.400
She's not a good actress at all. Orange, what did I do? I identify as non-binary. There's a really
0.57
00:20:27.860
long history of black people not being treated fairly in this country. Yo, how the fuck you
1.00
00:20:32.620
make Hey Arthur into a woke thing? Also, she went non-binary and now she's back. It's crazy because
1.00
00:20:37.980
you can get banned on social media by not using her pronouns and then three years later she's
0.95
00:20:45.040
It's the power that you have with those pronouns at the time was nuts.
00:20:50.520
And also taking kids cartoons to push the slop.
00:21:05.980
I will no longer allow racist, hurtful words, jokes, stereotypes.
00:21:10.620
no matter how big or small to be uttered in my presence moral purity so glad we're past this
00:21:17.240
everything okay how much do you care how good of a person are you those were the main questions
00:21:23.040
of the covet era at the same time that social justice i'm gonna lie bro i do i do deserve
00:21:29.020
credit for steering the culture in another direction whether or not you're gonna say
00:21:31.940
like oh they don't know you blah blah you guys are gonna troll but the run since i started
00:21:37.320
streaming i did help push it you know how many people can you attribute it to how many people
00:21:44.460
can you put in that category to to fix out to fix this woke problem this issues were reaching
00:21:50.480
hip-hop was also peaky coasting off the momentum of the soundcloud wave the entire genre had
00:21:56.740
embraced the homogenous trap aesthetic but not without reason i mean it worked and it didn't
00:22:02.900
stop working it was the sound of pop charts and pop culture every commercial had a trap beat in
00:22:08.720
the background labels started mass producing industry plans to capitalize on the gold mine
00:22:13.700
that mainstream rap had become nav was selling 130k first week and people saying you're woke
00:22:20.780
yourself now dude why how am i woke now what did i say that's woke saying war is bad
00:22:25.060
yeah and no no and see regardless of the thing with tate you know he was uh you gotta you gotta
00:22:33.660
give him credit for for changing that narrative quite a bit he was obviously at the forefront of
00:22:38.540
it for sure what are we talking about at this point hip-hop was the biggest genre of music in
00:22:44.280
the world becoming bigger than it had ever been even larger than life pop stars were desperate
00:22:49.900
it to jump on the wave. I love this song. Ariana Grande had a whole era. Bang. Just spray
1.00
00:23:00.320
painted her skin brown. I'm like, bitch, that's my cookie. That's my juice. That sample goes
1.00
00:23:05.260
crazy. Have you ever heard this? I'm going to keep it short, but just like Ariana over
00:23:57.260
This is the Mac I'm here to talk about today, girl.
00:24:06.800
and now she she started scissoring that black girl that was in the movie with her
1.00
00:24:11.100
taking i don't know man i'm not trying to be mean but fucking hell bro man she she's a completely
0.99
00:24:17.460
different person it seems like someone stole her soul come on girl this is actually real like her
0.98
00:24:23.180
fans call it the blackiana era in just a couple years time both of these movements had managed
00:24:29.480
to conquer the world and now having been rewarded with great success the founders are no longer
00:24:35.620
focused on innovating instead their primary goal is to maintain their status polishing the ideas
00:24:42.100
that it worked so well for them in the past ah mean drape it's the end of 2021 and he's the biggest
00:24:54.420
rapper in the world larger than life and in complete control of hip-hop it hadn't always
00:24:59.140
been this way though once upon a time he was just an awkward geeky kid who stuck out like a sore
00:25:04.740
thumb amongst his rapper peers. While on radio, young Drake might have been a rising star and
00:25:13.300
hitmaker, amongst the hip-hop community, he was a laughingstock.
00:25:21.580
He talks about, I don't, I don't talk about it.
1.00
00:25:33.820
An emotional pussy who talked about women and feelings too much.
1.00
00:25:41.060
He'll just make a song that's just like, oh, I'm crying in.
00:25:43.780
From that point on, Drake did everything in his power to dominate the rap game, secretly hoping he could change the mind of all those bullies who didn't let him in at the start of the decade.
00:25:55.220
It took a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of great music.
00:25:59.800
Fast forward to 2021, and Drake had gotten exactly what he was asking for.
00:26:05.600
His vulnerable and emotional approach had completely changed the foundation of the rap game, and was finally accepted as normal.
00:26:12.960
Drake was now not only the undisputed king of the biggest music genre in the world,
00:26:17.680
but also well-respected in almost every corner of its culture,
00:26:21.620
even managing to convince some of his street credibility.
00:26:37.960
Where there once was a purpose, now isn't anymore.
00:26:41.580
People get cocky, arrogant, and start abusing their power just because they can.
00:26:47.240
Honestly, if you guys want to look in my eyes, you guys want to do something?
00:26:53.260
In a figurative sense, this is the point where the victim becomes the bully,
00:26:57.660
perpetuating the cycle of abuse that was responsible for the start of the movement in the first place.
00:27:03.160
I have to come to the conclusion that inherently, I show speed is just...
1.00
00:27:11.000
uh i know we shouldn't be vindictive about stuff but it's just so sneeko should be banned from the
1.00
00:27:16.560
platform he was cancel culture what happened to this dude what happened to this dude trying to
00:27:22.960
get everybody de-platform canceled everyone's evil and then he got consumed by the beast the
1.00
00:27:29.240
monster that he created haha sorry just a piece of shit i don't see any way someone like this can
1.00
00:27:36.660
turn around and redeem themselves and be able to make up for all the disgusting shit that they've
1.00
00:27:41.620
done and said and influenced for people as a guy with a platform this dude too this
0.96
00:27:46.660
oh my god man this is giving me throwbacks bro as a guy with a platform i can't imagine posting
00:27:53.820
anything like that bankrupt them let them out of business deplatform them like actually take
00:27:59.800
them out financially they feel untouchable and unbeatable convinced that their run lasts forever
00:28:06.040
I want nothing to do with you, and I won't think twice about it.
00:28:14.380
This exact moment marks the beginning of the end.
00:28:21.720
And now, we take a short break from our program to learn the art of...
00:28:33.180
this is where we are canceling food last week they canceled uncle ben's rice okay 2022 let's
00:28:41.080
see doesn't even need to build a wall we're now beginning week two of the left's all-out attack
00:28:46.460
on what are you rogan the liberal moms lashing out at euphoria star sydney sweeney calling her
1.00
00:28:52.940
racist after she posted photos from her mom's 60th birthday as we started getting deeper into
00:28:58.840
Sidney Sweeney was a white supremacist even back then.
00:29:02.540
...of wokeness in the mainstream and the aggressive tactics it used in eliminating its detractors
00:29:08.320
sparked massive outrage on the other side of the political aisle.
00:29:12.360
There was a growing rage from those who felt left out and ironically oppressed in popular culture.
00:29:18.920
Zuckerberg became a red pill frat bro at 40 years old.
00:29:22.400
Elon Musk buying X and making it a safe haven for the ostracized and the canceled.
00:29:27.560
like like wokeness basically wants to make comedy illegal which is not cool podcasts become the home
00:29:34.200
of anti-wokeness with most comedians pulling in millions of views while professing their hate for
00:29:40.560
the social justice movement along with them their audience started rapidly moving in the opposite
00:29:45.760
yeah yeah yes yes we've transcended to the god bill i don't even know if you can call it that
00:29:55.720
i don't know where you would mark the era now but what a time huh what a time
00:30:01.460
canceled md platform but look at look at that man it's just how how how tides turn huh
00:30:06.480
look i mean man man could have been could have been like a real alliance or something i don't
00:30:15.040
know the sentiment still didn't go away woke culture now had an enemy which was climbing
00:30:20.160
rapidly up the ranks. Things slowly start to get ugly as stage four unravels. I really think this
00:30:27.420
is Drake's lowest point yet in terms of level of effort. He really put almost nothing into this.
00:30:34.280
People get fat, washed up, and lazy, completely losing their ability to stick together,
00:30:40.560
innovate, or adapt to any new obstacles. At this point, the movement becomes so normalized in the
00:30:46.940
mainstream that it loses its ability to challenge the once fresh and lively
00:30:55.560
cultural movement is reduced to a cheap trend an emblem to be worn rather than a
00:31:00.980
piece of resistance that demands reflection and action the social justice
00:31:05.960
movement went from rallying people towards a common goal to pointless
00:31:09.800
exercises of power over celebrities and athletes who didn't pass the moral
00:31:14.840
purity test the moral standards would only go higher and higher as time went yeah who remembers
0.99
00:31:20.340
the soy boy the soy boy collage any ogs any it's not really ogs but remember that fuck that was
0.99
00:31:26.860
like my content for six months straight six seven months straight just soy boy sword but what
0.98
00:31:33.280
happened to that man i think it was effective by until even the people inside the movement
00:31:37.980
couldn't live up to them anymore at that point focus turned inward and the progressive sphere
00:32:05.340
It's a new day where virality is more important than ever.
00:32:12.700
you can't say out loud that this person ever did anything good and i'm done with that barbenheimer
00:32:18.620
hip-hop is rapidly falling off both yes man it's like one of the most culturally impactful podcasts
00:32:30.060
ever ever and i'm done with that barbenheimer hip-hop is rapidly falling off both in quality
00:32:39.020
in popularity. Nobody knows what to do. How do you stop stage four from happening? Well the
00:32:46.060
answer is simple. You don't. There's really only one thing you can do at this point. Speed up the
00:32:53.500
inevitable. For most rap fans Kendrick Lamar was always everything Drake couldn't be. He was hailed
00:33:05.340
as hip-hop's golden child right at the start of his mainstream run quickly becoming the critic and
00:33:10.940
fan favorite this is good hip-hop this is positive hip-hop this is the kind of hip-hop that we need
00:33:17.420
that's commenting on social issues it was the one section of the audience drake could never win over
00:33:23.420
despite trying his hardest see unlike aubrey kendrick's main strength wasn't getting on the
00:33:28.860
radio it was creating meticulous masterpieces timeless bodies of work which set him apart from
00:33:35.420
the rest of the rap game he was the one people counted on to lead hip-hop into a brighter tomorrow
00:33:41.020
even as the soundcloud wave hit and melodic trap took over he adapted wrestling with drake for the
00:33:47.100
throne of hip-hop well into the 2010s but then he disappeared and that allowed drake to take
00:33:53.980
the reins and lead the way as hip-hop's number one. Fast forward to 2023, Drake is scoring his
00:34:00.300
14th number one album. What they don't mention during this time, I saw the Smashing Pumpkins
00:34:05.280
lead singer talk about it, is that rock completely disappeared. Have you guys noticed that? When I
00:34:09.960
was growing up, I would listen to the radio a lot. You know, I used to listen to a lot of Arctic
00:34:13.880
Monkeys, Smashing Pumpkins, Guns N' Roses, Led Zeppelin, but not even just like the old school,
00:34:20.960
you know classic hip-hop like beatles and metallica or heavy metal but like even there
00:34:25.800
were a lot of 2000s bands rock used to go neck and neck with hip-hop and as i was getting older
00:34:30.720
it was it was always competing hip-hop completely dominated it and rock disappeared and nobody
00:34:35.460
talks about it it's gone it's gone it doesn't exist anymore what happened rock doesn't you
00:34:41.560
still listen to it but there's no new it doesn't have any presence when radiohead you know dropped
00:34:46.520
in rainbows 2007 those were the two top competing genres it's gone just like that what happened
00:34:53.840
what happened man while the genre who fighters in a free fall deteriorating into a dark pit of
00:35:01.980
pathetic gimmicks and desperate trend chasers fans were increasingly unhappy but the mainstream was
00:35:08.620
still eating it up truthfully this corrosive climate suited drake as the biggest rapper in
0.89
00:35:14.400
world and the notorious trend chaser himself he stood only to gain from the lack of quality and
00:35:20.000
depth the average listener had become accustomed to things couldn't go on this way something had
00:35:26.960
to be done and the golden child he ruined it knew exactly what that was the golden child
00:35:59.280
This guy's, uh, he's going at Aiden right now, calling him racist for saying,
00:36:02.280
is for saying it makes sense that he's uh he's a kendrick laser
0.97
00:36:06.880
my favorite bully i hate bullies you must be a terrible person everyone inside your team is
0.95
00:36:11.740
whispering that you deserve it i'm literally uploading drake's this right now how do you
0.99
00:36:19.340
kendrick relax hey he going without kendrick's whole thing here you don't have dochi doesn't
00:36:29.640
exist anxiety you don't it would never have created that bubble also this shows how much
00:36:52.000
power streamers have whenever people talk about that beef they cannot talk about it without the
00:36:56.720
streamers reactions and every rapper took notice without this you don't see all hip-hop all of
00:37:02.280
hip-hop turn to streaming and become streamers because you lied about religious views you lied
00:37:06.900
about your surgery a rebellion an uprising led to one of the biggest you lied about the 2020s i hate
1.00
00:37:13.260
this fucking outfit i hate this outfit i hate this outfit i hate these jeans i hate the way that you
1.00
00:37:18.020

1.00
00:37:22.180
short kings but i hate these jeans especially bro this looks like something sabrina carpenter
1.00
00:37:27.180
would wear why would you put these on fuck i i hate you like i'm young and i hated that all
0.99
00:37:35.120
woke people use this image as like an own this was a this was a woke a woke profile picture
1.00
00:37:41.240
man a rap battle in which kendrick lamar destroyed dray slaying the flag bearer of late stage
00:37:50.120
commercial trap and finally saying what the culture is feeling out loud enough with the
00:37:56.120
hollow lazy and unoriginal we need music that's creative deep and inspired everybody had their
00:38:03.760
fun creative music i mean this right here is a diss at travis pusha t is like he tried to sell
00:38:09.440
his album by dissing yay and travis dissing people he would not have done that if he didn't
00:38:12.820
see kendrick's success now people know that drama and beef is a good marketing tool
00:38:18.360
But now the party, Jack Harlow is like fairy bread of music, is over, and it's time for something real.
1.00
00:38:29.880
If you say you're voting for Trump, suddenly you're a Nazi, you're Hitler, you're garbage.
1.00
00:38:37.220
They just want no Trump, no matter what, and they're willing to gaslight themselves.
00:38:41.960
Remember Dave Portnoy was telling people that they needed to take a tour of Auschwitz and he thought it was in Germany?
00:38:46.140
He thought Auschwitz is in Poland. He was telling people to go on a tour. You don't even,
00:38:51.460
you need to go on that tour. They just want no Trump, no matter what. And they're willing
00:38:57.340
to gaslight themselves. Hey, so remember all those anti-woke guys from earlier in the video?
00:39:04.240
Yeah. Um, they didn't go away. As a matter of fact, they only multiplied and grew stronger
00:39:10.440
as the public sentiment shifted further and further away from social progressivism.
00:39:18.140
It was a burning hatred towards the status quo that required drastic change.
00:39:23.220
A fire had been started, and no one was putting it out.
00:39:29.560
Do you think that this was a real assassination attempt, or was this a ploy?
00:39:45.820
It is now official, CNN projects that Donald Trump has been elected president, defeating Vice President Kamala Harris and making a political comeback unlike any.
00:40:05.980
I am going to admit I am a little surprised that they won so much.
00:40:14.560
And that's it. Here we are. It was just announced that for the first time in 35 years,
00:40:27.440
hip-hop spent an entire week without a single song in the top 40 of the chart.
00:40:31.600
People don't talk enough about how Graduation was the most streamed hip-hop album of 2025.
00:40:36.680
Isn't that crazy? Graduation came out in 2007. Ye is fighting cancellation. Ye is coming off of
00:40:42.920
Getting banned from Live Nation, Banks, Adidas, all this stuff.
00:41:00.440
The biggest trap releases of the year have all flopped diabolically.
00:41:04.900
And even the average Joes are bored at this point.
1.00
00:41:07.540
Rap is cool and all, but it's getting outplayed, bro.
00:41:36.560
And you know, everyone's tired of the gang gang
00:42:36.840
Yeah, Bully. Obviously, yeah, I'm not a fan of AI, but it got leaked. People are saying that
00:42:45.240
there's no AI in the full version, so I hope that's true. This is Saving Hip-Hop.
00:42:51.120
You're right, round comment. No one can replicate it.
00:42:52.780
They still try to capture an old flame, a moment that got lost in time, but the people
00:42:58.000
have already moved on. The old moves don't work anymore. The shots aren't falling and the crowd
00:44:05.140
guys. No. No. Everybody, this needs to be studied in media training.
00:44:14.660
Tan, genetics. I just got my color analysis back.
00:44:18.340
There is a cultural shift happening in the U.S. We're seeing a move away, even in these
00:44:25.100
The Zeitgeist showed it wasn't cool to be progressive or liberal.
00:44:28.440
When you're walking down the street late at night, guess what you're looking for?
0.98
00:44:32.140
and you equate that with danger another human support immediately we are just so unbelievably
0.95
00:44:40.540
fed up with the ghetto ratchet behavior entitlement the victimhood platforms no longer
0.99
00:44:46.640
care about political correctness corporations no longer celebrate pride month google no change
00:44:52.620
ibm no change microsoft no change or any month for that matter it's like they never cared about
00:44:58.440
anything. Wow. Interesting. Even Starbucks roached out on the gays? Country has taken over as the
0.64
00:45:05.160
most popular genre of music. You have been the light of the day. You are such a gift. You are
00:45:10.520
such light. Look around you. Everything is a byproduct of what came before it. The overbearing
00:45:16.020
need for social responsibility and pure morals of years past has now been replaced by a culture
0.96
00:45:21.720
ready to eat up whatever seems authentic, no matter how shitty at its core. When something
0.83
00:45:27.260
feels too clean people crave mess when everything's ironic sincerity every era gives us ideas and
00:45:35.860
moments that change the world as we know it then we move on the social justice movement didn't
00:45:42.280
vanish it dissolved you're right the internet's been so focused on color lately yeah race is
00:45:46.740
we're never going to move on from the race subject it comes in the 90s was less race focused than we
00:45:52.340
are today and we act like civil rights was like okay everything changed then the race subject
00:45:57.540
has never been spoken about this much in in the internet age than today it was absorbed into the
00:46:03.500
culture the language changed the expectations changed and the boundaries moved and once that
00:46:09.600
happens it stops feeling like a movement at all and just becomes the new normal the past decade
00:46:15.460
of hip-hop has been liberated the genre doesn't take itself nearly as seriously anymore the gender
00:46:21.100
norms have been broken, and artists are free to bend their voices, their images, and their
00:46:25.920
identities however they want. The demand for change has been met. The movement has served
00:46:32.260
its purpose. Death is inevitable. Death is healthy. Nothing, no sound, no movement, no era
00:46:40.760
can or should stay mainstream forever. Now that the people have made their money and the vultures
00:46:46.180
have moved on it's time for a reset it's time video back underground and come up with something
00:46:52.020
new the kendrick drake beef wasn't just a rap moment it was a reminder culture changes when
00:46:58.420
someone chooses to change it when people stand up and decide the old rules don't apply anymore
00:47:04.980
every era ends the same way with the spark a fracture a moment no one saw coming and maybe
00:47:12.660
just maybe maybe we're closer to that moment great than we think
