Melon flexing with his Art Blakey album in the background
Yung leans influence today is so underrated I don’t think peeps style is anything without what Lean did before him
Slug is the greatest emo rapper ever
No mention of x? He made really good sad hip hop
EYEDEA
I love hiphop’s first emo-wave with Atmosphere, Sage Francis and Aesop Rock’s isolationism. A lot of the newer stuff (not all, mind you) feels more needy for attention than anything else.
What about, *Anthony Fantano!* Am I right!
What what? That’s _actually_ his name! Your joking right?
You forgot suicideboys, pouya, ghostemane, And bones and those other guys
Please check out Coldhart he’s a part of gbc. So underrated
Bruh, how you not mention Uzi first or second wtf
“Algernon cadwallader? XXXTentacion? What’s the difference?”

WHY DO YOU KEEP IGNORING SUPA BWE
Okay guys but listen…
Ska…
Ska Hip Hop
People have always been emotional. People hide it, and now that’s it’s more accepted, people open up. It’s not bad, but there is so much music out there and a lot of new artists I see aren’t talking about being emotional, just the same cliche “Workin Hard and Hoes” which is fine. People are just being themselves. Listen to what you want
rap itself just a meme at this point
x is not a rapper he is an complete different genre called “unknown”
I think this blends well with psychedelic rap which is another huge sub-genre rn
missing bobbyraps!
I am glad you gave Atmosphere some credit here. Slug was the first emo rapper I listened to.
Wouldn’t be possible without 808s and Heartbreak
People think depression is a personality trait, they think it’s quirky or cool to be “depressed” they aren’t actually sad they just act it. That’s why emo rap is growing so fast
Shame Earl Sweatshirt wasn’t recognized he definitely was a lowkey domino in the trend
Blossom Reynolds on my channel !!
Fucking aye. Thank you for shouting out atmosphere and cudi. I really do feel Slug was an essential innovator to the sound of emo rap in general.
All credit due to me
I would put the man the myth frank ocean into this category and as the man who helped it grow like Kanye and drake
Kid Cudi> Drake
Almost a year since Genius released “Emo Rap is on the rise”
kid cudi’s humming started emo rap
God of emo rap is “prodbyparis” if you like emo rap look up “crushin” by Paris it’s on the no jumper channel and it’s feature with “Travis Baker” gave it a strong electric guitar and drum sound that can only authentic to the original 2009 emo sound he on his way up he already has songs with: Trippie Redd, Gunna , Landon Cube , and Trevor Daniel. So please if you are a fan of this new wave please check him out and support his music.
I too describe Drake as a “T Bag”
how come no one every talk bout lil tracy
IVVVEEEE GOT SOME ISSUES THAT NOOBODDYYY CAN SEE
God Loves Ugly is still one of my favorite albums.
Blacks always be a few years late to the trend.
Biggie was one of the predecessors
I feel like Earl fits somewhere in here as well…
no mention of Murs?
Juice WLRS
I used to think rap stood for “rhythm and poetry” but i guess we can get emotional.
FUCKKKKKK
It really hit me that both X and Peep are gone now, damn.
I wrote an essay on this in like 2016 for English class (mostly about how Kanye pioneered the style that’s prominent now) ahahha I’m glad that this is the new thing in Hip Hop I really enjoy shit like Wiccaphase and Corbin n all them
