Quote

“Offset says there’s a shift. He says he is going to start dancing on stage and become a well-rounded performer. He plans to make a living off touring for the rest of his career and believes that rappers are getting fewer and fewer shows“

Good riddance! Rap needs an entire facelift! Goodbye to degeneracy, misogyny + misogynoir, senseless violence, ignorance, and overall lack of to no talent

That part.

 

In a world where Rap Girls are competing with Pop Girls, Male rappers should deffo step up their game

evolve, there is a way to deliver something more interesting than just music - just like every performer does.

 

I stan rappers, but this is a sign that some of them should do more in their performances..

[Stepfon]

Cue the performance he did at the BET Awards of Clout when Cardi did Press, the man is a PERFORMER.

1. The quality in rap music decrease.

 

2. People want the hype AND high budget productions. Each rapper has their own style but simple changes can make a big difference.

They should take notes from Azealia Banks, its not about walking back and forth but about commanding the stage and the audience and having the BOPS to back it up

He's too generalizing. Obviously some do indeed need to bring or more show or dance or else let someone else do that on stage. But if the rapper is like, say, Common, then he don't need to dance. His mature lyrics will keep him relevant. So in that sense rapping is no different from singing (the more simple or superficial the song is, the more show they needs to be around it — but the more harcore the song is addressing a serious issue, the less the singer has to move his or her ass. So if Offset only wants to walk or stroll around on stage then improve your rap skills, period. Something has to impress the crowd, either your words or your performance.

I wonder if were experiencing some sort of music shift to Poppier music or Rockier-Electronic one.
Hip Hop dominated all over the 2000s and after 2015.  I wonder if we are starting to experience the shift of culture THANKS to the new gen alpha.



Or maybe this will be the start of another R&B wave? Im here for more Ushers and The Weekends....NE-Yos. 

[Moloko Plus]

Thank god for that. Nobody tryna see Offset or any of his contemporaries at a music festival. He can be regulated to the hip-hop music festivals no shade.

[Trainwreck]

Thank God, the world is healing 

[Blue Jeans]

Is mainstream music shifting? Where? I thought most straight men love male rap. Do they want pop bangers instead?

[JonginBey]

He’s not wrong. We want PERFORMERS.

Glad u mentioned this, exactly why I said each rapper (same as any artist) has their own style. Real rappers RAP so a huge pop production isn’t necessary but depending on the artist some small tweaks can boost their stage appeal. 

[DougAF]

Please 

 

I saw Tyler the Creator headline a festival and he put on a SHOW. You just need good music and good energy. Of course these new mumble rappers and talentless losers aren’t gonna get booked. 

[americanlife]

well let’s celebrate that

[Katamari]

Kendrick changed the game

[stjosephprey4us]

Gee, I wonder why…

[VOSS]

I’d be happy to see someone walk back and forth onstage if I just spent $20 on a ticket. Not if I’m paying 2023 ticket prices tho.

[GraceRandolph]

[Bosque]

Is it about rappers in general or are certain specific artists just no very much in demand? 

[Antikythera]

As it should be. Rappers usually go on stage to lip sync and standing still. They dont even right their own material and it is always the same BS about being a criminal, have money and ass.

In the US they want country music... 

[favorite crime]

Eh I don't think it has anything to do with people wanting more big productions from rappers. It's always dependent on the artist. Adele could sell out a stadium tour with a set of just her a piano and some pretty images on a screen behind her. Drake is the epitome of just walking around on stage and he's on one of the biggest rap tours of all time.

 

Rap was just the most dominant genre for over half a decade and now it's in decline so naturally there's less demand for rappers to perform. 

 

Country music (at least in the US) is now repeaking and fans are happy to pay hundreds of dollars to watch Morgan Wallen stumble around half drunk of stage and strum a few chords while lip syncing.

It’s not even just that. I’ve been to festivals and concerts where the rappers don’t dance/choreo but they’re still energetic and interacting with the crowd. These festivals probably aren’t trying to book them because they arrive 30 minutes late, and do 2 songs, then leave.
