CMV: Rap CREATIVELY is taking a similar path as rock. It will lose its place as #1 genre in the near future.

I think hip-hop or rap specifically is taking a very similar path as rock did in the mid 20th century just separated by 20 years. I think creatively it has hit a big wall, and without a jump will see a massive decline in the future. Thinking this will be the peak and will start to see a decline over the next decade. 

A timeline:

I think the beginnings of both genres could be compared with 1950s rock and 1970s rap. Both very simple to the decades to come. But had a big culture change. Leading to massive shift in music taste.

1960s rock and 1980s rap continue. As the 1960s saw an explosion of new style of the genre but laid down the foundation of what we hear today. Popularity wise this is where rock expands at a faster rate then rap. Could be due to a lot of different factors. Besides the point we begin to see massive sales on controversial issues. Creatively both take a massive jump from the decades prior and the market still not being over saturated. 

1970s Rock and 1990s rap. This is where I think disagreements can start to be made. However, I think generally people believe this as the golden age for both genres. Both genres continue gaining popularity and we see big branches of different sub-genres begin to form. Anyone can now find their own crowd within these genres and creatively has the biggest change out of any decade. 

1980s rock and 2000s hip hop. Saturation begins with both genres but still progresses forward. Both known for having a certain sound and look but both decades still brought in a lot of influence for the next decade to come. Creatively we see both genres begin to appeal to a certain look to gain popularity. 

1990s rock and 2010s hip hop. As a push back to the previous decade we begin to see a jump again creatively. More sub-genres begin to form and popularity is still gaining. Backed by huge artists who seem untouchable. While not knowing this was the beginning of the end of rock. It seemed untouchable at the time. 

2000s rock and current stage of rap. While there was huge artists that boomed with their own sound. There was not enough of it and creatively reached a wall never breaking the sales of their predecessors before them. While it is early to say I think creatively the genre has hit a wall. This is really unknown as there is no saying. However, if it is following the same path we can assume that this decade we will see creativity drop. While new generations search elsewhere. This to me is the stage where someone else can takeover. Or simply a former genre takes a new leap forward waiting for the other to catch up. 

Don’t know if this is a good post for objectively changing a view. However, I am very open to changing my view.

Completely disagree. While this is a very interesting read and perspective, rock and rap have differences that are difficult to explain, but I’ll try. 

Rock is a style of music. 

Rap is something you do over music. 

If you change the sound of Rock it turns into something else, and is no longer rock. It turns into country, it turns into ska, it turns into a pop song with guitars and drums. You can change the instruments, you can change the speed, you can change the time signatures - and it will turn into not rock. 

Rap, however, can be put with anything, and unless music evolves into something someone can literally not rap on (like classical orchestra or freestyle jazz) rap will simply evolve with whatever comes next.

It’s why Rap-<insert something here> can be done with almost anything. As long as there’s a beat, you can rap over it.
