One of the coolest things about being a music artist is the connection between what you make and who you are. While the previous generation of rappers brought singing, metaphorical jokes, and flow patterns, the new generation is more concerned with lifestyle. On a skill, presentation, and popularity level, many artist are very equal. The dialect is a start; but from sharing the same struggles, to the admiration of conquering adversity, the lifestyle is where all the difficulty is.

We appreciate constructive criticism very much. You can't improve without it. However, in 2022; the feedback has gotten really strange. 

RapIndie is a hip hop blog so if it's not "funky" what's the point? 

If clines are what define evolution, why do you care how ghetto an artist is?

It's ok to have unconditional hate for a culture, but if it's unconditional, why pretend it's got anything to do with us?

BROCKHAMPTON is a rap group from San Marcos, Texas. In the landscape of hip hop, they have always been refreshingly different. TM is a very interesting album. It's experimental, but it isn't trying to distance itself from an urban aesthetic. It's nearly rnb at times, and nearly electronica at others, but it's consistently well-produced. BROCKHAMPTON has a lot of talented individual members, but they're collaborative brand is so strong that it's nice to see them back together on this project.
In the world of hip hop, the aesthetic has become more important than the bars. 

There are many types of haters. Not all of them are scientists or scholars. Not all of them want world peace. The irony is drill rap probably resonates a little to the same radicals that condemn it. They are spreading it after all…
