I clicked on a video from inthe00s.com and gave a very interesting details on how 2016 and 2017 were very transitional in hip-hop.
In the 2016 video, you noticed that newcomers like Lil Uzi Vert, Kodak Black, Lil Yachty, and 21 Savage were total strangers in the hip hop world where they have alien and mumbling flows and wacky personas. The dude in the video is right about 2015 hip-hop where it sounded outdated and the rap in 2016 was a bridge to the current Soundcloud rap wave we have today. The rise of streaming services played a role in helping newcomers go to the top. It was definitely controversial at the time due to their lack of emphasis on lyricism.
2017 was when the rap wave of 2016 further amplified and gave us newer and personalities such as XXXTentacion, Lil Pump, Ski Mask The Slump God, 6ix9ine, Playboi Carti. They use unique production choices such as distorted bass and 808s and hazy synths. This rap wave also made way for another rap sub-genre called emo rap. The leading figures of emo rap were XXXTentacion, Juice Wrld, Lil Peep, and even Uzi Vert made a song "XO Tour Lif3", which has strong emo qualities. What do you guys think about it?
