HIP HOP'S FUTURE IS TRASH - 2022 XXL CYPHER..SMH 

One thing I like about rap and pop music in general is that it stimulates a feeling inside of me whether it’s excitement, happiness, or even sadness and I think that is the cool thing about music. Watching and listening to those rappers “rap” made feel nothing except regretting listening to them.

Finally someone that doesn’t like this trash, hip hop fell off real fast

is this cypher a parody? the energy is whack af

They should just make up new genres don't call it hip hop don't call it rap call it crap or something 😂

Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang,... I burst out laughing at Stevie’s face 🤣🤣

Respect you sat through that Stevie. That was GARBAGE !!!!!!!!!

You know us Old heads are partly to blame for where Hip Hop has gone and is going... I mean I had to admit to myself that in the Past 20 Years I have not purchase a Single Album, DVD, CD, Pay for View event or Streaming Media to let the Record Decisions Makers know what I liked... They are a Fortune 500 Company with Share Holders and they need to put their energy around those Artist that are bringing in consistent Sales... Besides Eminem that does $20 Million in 2021 and averages $30 to $50 Million per Year when he is Touring; have the impact that make Lyrical Rap Relevant? Money Talks, BS Walks...

As soon as I heard “bang” my heart sank. Nobody sounds like they even care about the art.

nardo wick ' bang bang bang Stevie's face looking at the camera was priceless😂😂😂

Oh no... Just the title...and now Ole Boy's voice ...Most depressing intro ever *had to go watch some Knight Talk to get the taste outta my mouth*

Its the era where the BEATS do the work..that's why everyone can "rap"...🤣

This is painstaking. As an old head this literally looks like an SNL skit that we are supposed to laugh at.

Your reaction to the song the moment it started "bang bang bang ..."😂😂😂😂🤣🤣 Damn Steve I was not ready for that 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂

Thanks for the reaction I was in need of a good laugh 😂

10 seconds into the video when he stared at the camera with that blank look I knew this gonna be hilarious 🤣🤣 Straight gutter trash

I really like what you said about the trend that's going on these days I wouldn't mind using it for an outro on my latest album

The second one that went he sounds like Mike Jones

This is NOT Hip Hop...this is clearly Crap Pop 🤣

this almost brought me to tears, please tell me those where freestyles and not written

what future bro? if it weren't for the older gen artists. hiphop is already dead, as dead as it can be.

Nardo Wick starts the cypher: Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang Stevie: 👀 looks to the camera like already?! Me: 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Real rap mostly lives in the underground and battle rap nowadays

They should've got UK rappers like Dave, Central Cee or Stormzy. Get them more exposure in the US

So many niggas were gassing this shit up and I was just there like...this shit is worse than the previous one 😭 😭

Watching the disappointment in your face build and build is making me laugh so hard! Love you Stevie

I was already not hopeful going in but when I heard "bang bang bang bang" I checked out.

Big up from Morocco, we've had some pretty fierce rappers rising up through the years since the 90ies, but this new wave shit infected the current generationand all you hear ( mostly ) is shit like this in our local rap scene. This has got to end man.

Correction : Mainstream Hip Hop's Future is trash ..... Joe Budden : " Notice they say hip hop dead / cause the dope shit underground " ........ 👑🔥

Lupe responded perfectly to these type of rappers on his closer for his latest album Lupe fiasco - ON FAUX NEM it's on the surface level trust me😂😂

Everyone is a rapper today, even when they probably shouldn’t be lol

Ever since 2016 rappers showing up on XXL Cypher, people starting to sound soft and mumble a lot. This generation starting to suck 🤦‍♂️

I needed a good laugh today.

Man I couldn’t finish this video!! 😩

Stevie Knight album dropping soon? 🔥

That was hard to listen to. Everybody saying the same thing over and over. I got money, eating steak and lobster, I got an AR, blah blah blah.

Stevie, the world is spinning fast enough bruh. I can't get that time back for listening to that video. lol Stil giving you a like for your vid homie but that was torture..

I miss diversity in young artists. ALL THESE DUDES SOUNDED THE SAME!!! Flow, cadence, style, vocabulary, energy the same

I just now realized how privileged I've been listening to artists that can write and enunciate, let alone ride a beat and switch flows and cadences. These kids are young, so I'd forgive a lacking pen game or only having a couple of cadences in their toolset, but enunciating their words isn't asking much at all. How you gonna' put emphasis on syllables down the road if you can't even enunciate? How am I supposed to even find out if you develop a pen game if I can't understand a word you're saying. It's 2022 and there's no excuse for sounding this trash with equipment so good and so cheap that rappers were paying hundreds of dollars per hour to get studio time to use not even two decades ago? I've heard dudes using micro cassette recorders playing back tapes of shit they've done that blows this shit out of the water. Oh, and that beat is whack, so I can't even ignore the lyrical content and enjoy the beat. Maybe they should just milli vanilli this shit and work on looking cool while lip syncing.

From me. Also- AMP! And lots of us cats on SoundCloud trying to move out of that house.

Is there a bleeding ears emoji? I need one now.

It’s official, Coast Contra is definitely leading the pack, no one from this class Is even on the same planet. The future of hip hop really couldn’t be in better hands, if it was only Coast. Too bad, they will be resigned to carry the torch alone while simultaneously, competing with this trash for air time. We also got H. Mack that will no doubt inspire future freestylers, which should in turn bleed over to the mainstream. I really think hip hop will divide into distinct factions and the Genre will do a hard split just like Rock and Metal. People like yourself and other hip hop purist will lead the way. Hopefully diligence and passion is enough to keep lyrical MC’s alive. I pray enough is being done to inspire greatness in the next generation and make the current generation up their pen game. We will see…..

Well...i have to say that this is a great time for the truly great and admirable rappers to shine like Coast Contra, but sad that we don't really see that many more others doing it

Bruh i swear me and stevie always say the same thing at the same time lol, like damn word for word sometimes

LMAO! I actually thought that was a SNL skit!

Omg. Lord help us all. That was so hard to watch. I have to go take a shower 🚿 😩

I'm with you on this one , I agree 💯

Nothing against you big dawg I had to leave half way through see you on the next one 🤣

The XXL "Cypher" has degraded to high school "talent show" levels

...now I have to throw my whole head away.

" I can't get giggy with this sh*t!!"

You should react to the Thizzler Cypher 2022. It's nasty bro 🔥

Stevie this will absolutely be overlooked but THANK YOU. We need more people to call out this mumble bs. It’s such a joke but 10 year olds with Apple Music stream it and fill their pockets Absolutely wild. Literally pathetic. I’m all about people getting their bag but dude… this isn’t rap. This isn’t poetry. This isn’t even music sorry not sorry.

I think its time for a new falling in reverse reaction to "voices in my head"

5:17 Exactly what I was thinking.

Another great video man! Please check out more lupe fiasco, and also kenny mason

If stevie knight calls your bars cute. You might as well just give back that deal.

Can we have a REDO!!! on this Cypher?? God dam !

React to the the thizzler cypher

Sorry Stevie I ain't staying for the rest of this I lost enough brain cells damn it

Can we get a Senior Cypher please 🙏

After that, I feel almost as depressed as they sound.

Coming off of a Lupe Fiasco reaction. This is most definitely not the vibe for me. No bars, no lyrics, they made it so that literally anyone can be a rapper now. But love to see your reaction anyhow. 😄

You know in the middle of the night like 4am 5am you get waken up by the fire alarm or some alarm and you're all dazed and disoriented and can't think and talk straight? if you tried to rap in that state this is how you would sound.

What's crazy is that a cypher is different than a freestyle. You're allowed to write for a cypher. And all these people cant write worth a damn

Bruh Stevie‘s face at the beginning says it all

how many artists do you think really get paid, most of them take a labels slice, usually the moldy side

They not even nodding their heads on beat smh

2nd due sounds like Mike Jones "Back then they didn't want me, now I'm hot they all on me"

Quality from 1 artist takes too long to produce. It's easier to have a beat that knocks, then create 20 slight variations of it and give those to 20 different rappers. It all sounds the same, but it still knocks in the ears of the mainstream and they keep buying. Hip hop is beyond the age of the enthusiast . It happens to everything that gets big.

Can’t believe horse shoe gang or Coast Contra never brace a cover before

I give you props for sitting through this crap.. geez,, these peops need to give the fuk up on what ever they think rap is.. eeessshhh

Or Antarctica by SuicideBoys if you want bars. They help me recover from trash rap but then Prof helps get my mood back up.

Lmao you had me rollin

Guess how many Cyphers I've heard in my life that I'd want to listen to again... guess?

Was that Kenan from Kenan & Kel

Have you done ems freestyle despicable

The lack of energy or care just hurts to see, I feel at some point its become viewed cringey or lame to want to put in effort, not just musically but generally. Fuck that, whatever you're doing should get your maximum effort. Geared more to the first guy obviously, but it seems like a common trend with a lot of things lately.

Streaming apps killed the game. Everyone thinks they can rap. This is embarrassing

This is....... sad. 🤦‍♂️

Today's sh#t all sounds the same. I never thought I'd be that old man on my lawn but today's music is pushing me that way.

This is poison for the youth and nothing more. (oh and a check for the record labels).

1st dood sounded like Great Value 21 Savage performin' at a high school talent show 🤣 I couldn't even wait til the end to comment this smh

And T-Pain says Tupac would be nothing nowadays... yeah. Look this shit.

yea this is sad

Can you do Bizzle’s response to Joyner Lucas? “Devil‘s Work”

U should watch the amp cypher 3

Do all the new age rappers repeat themselves like this? It's like once they don't know what to say next they just repeat the last line until they figure it out.

When I heard the 2nd dude, I said “Mike Jones!!!!”

Bruuuuhhhh....I thought this was a Key and Peele skit!!!

That girl at the end, she showin’ me somethin :0:00 She gonna go places

Bruh wtf is this lol especially that 1st dude.. 1st line started blah blah blah blah or something like that 🙄 🤯🔫

its like designer had a bunch of kids and they all ended up on this xxl cypher

Curious thoughts on coeyredd

What is happening to music omg

This reminded me of Future’s XXL freestyle, lmfao. Bunch of yesterdays!

My ears are now bleeding

I imagine a young slim shady being told to hop in the cypher I say young because ain’t no one telling grown ass Eminem what to do and no way he would be on this or lil dicky on this and just diss them with bars these guys can’t even. Catch so they all just stand their bobbing their heads as they’re getting destroyed

SuicideBoys Paris * to recover from this depressing song lol

Watch the new thizzler cypher...it will give you more optimism about the future of rap

React to thizzler cypher 2022
