Why is hip hop so narrow minded?

    Memebers of other genres constantly show new and progressive hip hop artists more love than people within the genre. It's always isolated to a few people like Kanye who take it upon themselves to continually cosign and push the genre.

    Is this because the genres relatively so young? That it was born out of such a heavy political context that it's difficult for people to see that it's becoming more and more removed from that, well, restriction? What is it?

    Why when young thug makes a tribute for an opposing g--- member who passed away, with everyone dressed in all blue, at the gas station he was shot at, while singing "stop the killings," it's not as revered as Kendrick calling people from his hood "jigaboos"

    Do you guys listen to music or just skim thru it? Is a certain style so off putting that you can't help but project your own bias on the material day in and day out?

    I don't get it...why isn't hip hop more accepting as a whole? Why is it so narrow minded?

    idk man people outside our genre like young thug more cause most of our people who listen to rap can't think for themselves, they follow peoples opinions on artist before they even listen, pre judgement blame it on the internet age

    I agree, you should stop listening to young thug for a second and listen to other artists as well. Don't be close minded!

    Why do trap fans always assume that people don't like trap rappers because they're close minded. Its like real hip hops fans that think people who don't listen to "lyrical" rap are less intelligent. The hypocrisy on both sides is pretty obvious.

    As someone who isn't a rap fan and has nothing but friends who aren't a fan of rap this is so wrong as far as my experience goes but I can only speak for myself

    This is so wrong. Hip hop is one of the least narrow minded genres as it takes influences from almost every genre.

    There has always been a lot of diversity in hip hop and trap music was already there in the 90s.

    It's not just about thug, he's just an example

    It's like people have a set example of what hip hop "should be" more than they do for any other genre and they don't see that it's actually hurting the genre
