The Exact Moment SoundCloud Rap Died (12/08/2019 at  

bro u needa get rid of these comment bots

@@remasteredtoperfectvibes lol fr

I neeeeeeeeeed that teddy bear hoodie....😔😁I mean NaeEeeeeeed lol

Sewerperson is a SoundCloud rapper I listen too alot!!!

I heard Fb Marlo pretty dope

2014-17*

those were good times

it’s fin be tik tok rap mfs don’t change shit

@@Gonnie6969 nah bruh u gotta count juice wrld, Deko, early slay world, hella sketchy, hinoni, lil Tecca, 2018 was a very influential year it was also the year die lit came out

Every SoundCloud rapper is ass

I just dont like 99% of the rap just the top 1%

bruh you a prophet

To be honest, that's just life.

Ok, but things were actually better when I was a kid though, right?

Damn, truth hurts.

Real shit

@@burymeinjhenny918 yo do you have a life or are you a 30 year old loser who lives under your moms basement

bruh you good off them blunts lmao

Awe

Bunch of pussies

What about uzi, Denzel, and carti?

@@slovvak9588they were a bit before the class op listed. Doesn’t discredit them though; they’re legends.

why tf you got peep in there💀💀💀

@@GrailDarkTints for all the shit he gets, he’s one of the pioneers of the sad boy 2015-17 shit.

peep is trash. Denzel over him easily

To be fair, they weren't rapping.

I agree... It's crazy if you look at monthly Spotify listens. Juiceworld and X both pull 30 million monthly streams. X almost 4 years after his passing is still in the top 100 listened artists and MOST of his music (imo all the good emo/screamo stuff) isn't even on the app... Juiceworld has collabs with tons of artists, has a ton of music on the app and still has music being released that sounds finished. X barely has any collabs, most of his posthumous work sounds unfinished and is unfinished, and he still pulls the same ears regardless... 17 and ? Are actually giant in terms of the ears they pull. Two albums basically carry 30 million monthly listens, which is why they released such unfinished work. Vice city just dropped so others are certainly coming, I don't think X as an artist will ever die out which is insane because he's been gone for so long... Considering the abuse allegations, the constant jail time, the controversial nature of X outside of being an artist, X literally carried the movement, and the fact remains despite people's love or hate for him, his death cemented him just like in his own words towards Kurt Cobain "as a character forever". X unironically got his goal of achieving legendary status through dying as a character. For better or for worse atleast he got what he wanted out of this life in the end.

Yes I agree. Definitely A Void. Especially with Mac And X Being So Close it was very depressing.

@@mymomsbasement69 you're not wrong. Although some of x's songs are rap and i doubt the likes of Kanye would've done so much work with him if he didn't respect it. However imo X's greatest works were his soul songs. Try listening to his catalogue i wont lie there's a lot of trash but every artist is like that even Michael Jackson. Its sad however X was never given a chance to grow and reach his full potential.

They were all trash

That is now overplayed and overhyped by the rest of the world

@@PhahKiu SoundCloud rap =/= mumble rap

THAT ERA ISN'T OVER, ITS JUST " HEALING" AFTER ALL WHO PASSED AWAY! KINDA LIKE " REBIRTH" , IF U WILL???🤔 THE ☝🏽 TO BLOW UP, IS CLOSER THAN U 🤔🤔🎧🎧🎤🔥✌🏽✊🏽👍🏽

I wouldn't say it's over its just evolving. People like lil darkie chauncy666 and spider gang are still kicking. Not as big, except darkie who's still growing and is relatively big compared to peers.

ong it feels like only yesterday when i was 14 discovering all that new underground music for the first time. now i'll be 20 in a few days and it just feels like life will never be the same as it once was. tbh i barely even like today's rap music at all. all i listen to is anything alternative and unique. it's hard to find shit like that, but thanks to the artists that paved the way, there's now such a variety of artists out here now.

Didn't lose enough

Facts bro i graduated Hs in 2012 turning 30 years old this year. Time wait for no one! Time is more valuable then money imo cus u cant get it back! Live in the moment! Stay blessed

@@moneyonfleek305 ✌

Most of them are not legenda

There will continue to be rappers getting big off soundcloud. Idk about Spotify but fuck that shit lmao

Nah it’s been alive you just don’t know good underground music

@@givenchymamajama3859 BRO this what I been saying, SoundCloud rap is fire when everyone is still underground. Obviously the era he’s talking abt is an exception but right now I love that it’s back to niche artist not everyone fw.

@CjOfficial nah there’s some serious artists out there gettin traction on SoundCloud. You just not hip it’s alright

@@CRAShOUT.RED.888 fax bruh niggas don’t got taste in underground music shit sad. Just cuz they don’t know bout anyone they say it’s dead

All trash.

you probably see this video way different, considering you were at the forefront of 2017 SoundCloud

*tiktok rap

nah bro RU-vid is where rappers blow up. MTV aint got shit on these videographer channels

Nah

true

Bro what country are you on about. Busch aint rly country but thats the closest song i could think of

Please don’t try to make them the face of my generation cause they’re not

@@lordryan9845 they most certainly are the faces of our generation whether you want to accept it or not 95% of people I know who are also Gen Z fucking love these artists and what they represent or atleast did when they were big

@@blazzuris7219 really cause most people I know don’t and I bet I know more people than you

@@blazzuris7219 just cause you and you friends liked them or they were big on SoundCloud or in the underground scene doesn’t make them the face of shit

Same here lol 😂

I found my old phone I had playlists with thousands of songs on them mostly songs from people who are dead rip

I remade a SoundCloud account so I lost my 2016-2018 playlists holy do I wish I could see them again

Man I was in middle school

I was the same but with high school.

I agree for the most part. However some of those early X songs… idk how they went mainstream. Or maybe X just had a crazy fanbase ??

@@PatrickCc x had a crazy fan base that just knew he was go make it big because of his unique image and flow

bro thats a really good observation

@@PatrickCc I love your channel

@@PatrickCc bro I started using SC as "Rei 856" 6 months ago and id still recommend for new artist,

theres plenty of artists on soundcloud if you just look around. lil darkie, 83hades, zotiyac, reckz, slump satan, plenty of others

Lol 🤣

Soundcloud sucks

@nahtekcuf Its the reason why mumble rap exists, its the reason why rap nowadays is trash, it always sucked

@@Aria23331 old head

I love your compassion between both Genre’s as they both merged from the underground to the Main Stream. both being sub genre’s using the same elements as their founding genre(Hip Hop & Other Genre’s = SoundCloud Rap/ Rock & Punk = Grunge) yet adding their own twist to the genre thus creating something different due to different inspiration sources and Exploring/Being Super Creative within their Limitations of Equipment. I honestly believe there’s a new wave of something waiting in the shadows. Something always pops up, we’re in generation of social media exposure . There’s plenty of music, inspiration and Creativity left in the Music world waiting to be heard. Right now everything is just moving too fast.

fr he can spit

Dude hed be doing so much cool shit and pushing music and the genre in general so much further. I could only imagine a juice rock album or more of his hype shit.

If only he didn’t mention drugs every song

i think lil peep and x brought up emo rap, juice kinda put together what x and peep did

i would say kid cudi was the first

May he Rest In Peace🙏🏻

Fr we can’t forget about him

Rip 6 dogs

he should have also mentioned sybyr

Thank you.

The irony

Trippie, Carti, and Uzi are exactly why I don’t like it when people talk about the “SoundCloud era” like it was all bad. All three of those guys have progressed in their respective lanes and are legit superstars now, and let’s not pretend like Juice and X wouldn’t have been even bigger had they survived.

yo whease u also here?

whease

Crazy how this video and also the conments no one has mentioned SKI MASK THE SLUMP GOD holy hell 😂 this dude is also still holding strong for the soundcloud artists

Famous Dex became a druggy, rich the kid just fell off. Madentyo fell off. Lil yachty still somewhat here. Lil pump let’s not go there

Love your content tuv

yoo it’s tuvvv

Tuv! What's good dawg

mr tuv

legend

Patrick cc doesn't really know shit lmao don't expect alot... The title of itself is false lmao

If you watched the video he did acknowledge that he wouldnt be able to mention everyone that played a pivitol role

There are too many to say in one vid but yea you are right.

@@sahulianhooligan7046 that's the thing though SK was the pivotal role... he's the one who really turned it into what it was

@@yvngfrap8341 speakerknockerz? definitely not. He was poppin in 2012-2014 but nobody remembers his impact in the soundcloud wave because it just wasn't that big. He was doing his own thing and getting some attention but we can't say he was THE turning point in the direction of soundcloud music.

Clams and eric dingus goated production

@@suaz9501 faccs

Bro the I am God beat 👁👄

Yes! The Soundcloud era was the era of the producer. Clams, Metro, Pierre, Young Chop, Milan & Capsule Corp, Yung Gud, Cardo, Soldado and so many more. I honestly think I followed as many producers as I did actual rappers on there, and the fact that they could repost tracks they’d worked on was huge.

He didn’t do his homework he literally lived it and was apart of it in ways LMAO

@@dannytrojan7508 ye

Damn, its funny to see you kids thinking these songs created only a few years ago by mumble rappers you will all forget about in another few years are "legendary". LOLOL

@@mymomsbasement69 nobody cares bigdog

@@mymomsbasement69 I mean they are legendary what are you talking about a lot of them created new ways to get into the industry without labels it reminds me a lot of the 70s and 80s Undergound punk scene in a way you can’t deny that lil peep didn’t start a whole new wave and style or lil pump didn’t add a certain aesthetic into the genre

I’m also glad I got to experience the SoundCloud era of the mid 2010s when I was in high school, I still remember the day I discovered playboi carti in 2016, one year before he got mainstream.

no hate but LOOOL Post Malone is mid

@@rawnclark bro copies and paste one post malone lyric and calls him mid 😭 okay, so you're clearly pointing out the repetition in White Iverson, if you think him repeating himself in a song makes him mid, then don't even listen to rap, cause it's not for you. All rappers repeat themselves. It's just how they go about making lyrics. Which I'm in doubt that you could do any better.

Juicewrld was the last new rapper with that type of wave

give sybyr/syringe his credit, he’s the dark horse of the underground

He got his commupance tho

@@deletetrmnl syringe was a visionary and the only thing he was missing is consistency

@@teratoma. he has a pretty huge discography and has released music under many different names and accounts, so i wouldn’t really say that i agree. nowadays it seems like he’s lacking in music though, which seems to be a popular opinion

Agreed, he stood out to me the most, especially since he genuinely cared about his supporters and helped so many people with mental health and he preached about the law of attraction, astral projection and spirituality, he was an old soul.

For sure mann, thats why hes still considered such a legend. 😞🙏

Man I’ll related hella I live in south flordia Deerfield was a 30 min drive where X died I probably was just becoming a freshman or in the 8th grade never cried over a rapper till X not even at my grandma funeral I don’t really be crying like that’s unless it’s something so personal just listening to Kodak X and the other rappers from the SoundCloud era like smokepurpp post Malone just made me love life I started to smoke weed in the 6 th grade I was also a pretty bad kid selling drugs robbing doing home invasions just being a jhit in flordia iykyk 😂but when I just listen to these rappers made me feel happy even being at a young age I felt depressed cause my life wasn’t the same from the other kids in school when I moved out to north flordia being used to being a melting pot of races I was now in area where it was mainly wealthy whites so I felt out a place even with their kids my age but all the music from the SoundCloud era made life’s enjoyable those endless summer nights where it felt like a weeks worth of events being in love with my middle school crush those where my happiest days of my life from 2016-2018 all my friends I made during that time I imagine was never leaving my life but slowly they did first it was my crush I was her best friend we had a fight which leds was not talking till my junior year during those year after when X died my high-school years fell in streets hard I think it was cause I didn’t have Mia in my life no more she was the one who kept me ground from crashing out truly she was the only person I loved but for her she forgot about the promise we made abt forever being in each other lives now it was just one sided I would keep track of her n I what heard that she became a “hoe”but I know she was just looking for love n she kept choosing the wrong guys who would just fuck n leave then talk abt it n I knew sum of them they be bragging about in my face without knowing I loved this girl she would always be at party’s I would see her sometime just for us to look each other in the eyes for a second they we would curse each other out 😂 they moments where I thought she was fucking with me but my pride was too big cause she the one who broke my heart in which made me turn to drugs the street life a life without her it not like I couldn’t get me another baddie but I’m a Nigga who hates people only I few a I care for n I was the man in the city for my. Age so fucking was easy never dated someone tho to make this short we reconnected again in junior year the year I went back to school I basically drop out of school after middle school just didn’t go only for my exams the first days we would look at each other n she always gave me a stank face but one day I’m lost in the hallways n we passed each other she look at me n say “why are you staring are you lost or something “ n I say yea I actually am then her whole attitude changes n become the sweet girl I remember in middle school with the pretty smile ever she help me to get to class n then she gave me a ride home after when she saw me asking people for a ride when we get my driveway we park n start talking idk how long but I remember at end she said that we almost talked for 2 hours just catching up and laughing at our memories she told me that this was the longest she had ever talk to a guy before without they trying sum n I don’t remember what I said but at this time my emotions where so mixed up I didn’t know how to feel happy or mad since she abandoned me before but after this moment we was together every day for half the school year then I got jump by 10 people n almost kidnapp I had knife wounds. Guns where involed I felt like this made her look at me different cause when I was with her I was sly n just being normal not acting like a demon like I was know as but we kept talking it’s new year n we where texting n she was talking how sad she was this year n how I made her happ n that this year gonna be the year she becomes happy n I ask her if I can help her do that basically asking her out I didn’t know that she was in love with someone at this time a popular football player who made feel like she was so she said no but always saying how much she love me n that meant a lot to her this just made me so depressed I Block her on everything even tho I didn’t want to I remember my snap kept getting banned so I had to make new ones every time she added me but I was mad n sad cause the week after she got with the football player so I stop going to school after missing so many days I got kicked out after Christmas break n we had stop talking completely in which I became bad on pills n started trapping hard so good dat I caught a fed investigation so my mom made me flee the country till it clam down 6 months pass till I go back to flordia by then it’s our senior year this year up I dint go back to school even when the principal told me to return cause of her being there she jump by the football player then started to date thus another guy she looked happy like actually did this time I wasn’t happy but I was at the same time even her brothers n father told me that’s this guy actually cares for her which is great but now I realize that’s she gone forever I’ve told we gonna get back together when we are older but at that point I would say no cause the damage is already gone my addiction is at a all time high always depressed I didn’t know where to start my life n now I posting my life story on the comments in RU-vid I miss the old days of 2016 n 2018 lost X n her at the same time basically n for her to reconnect with me acted like she really did care just to abandon me n get a new. Nigga is crazy I’m still recovering every relationship of mine is toxic from the start cause I only loved 1 person n the new people are just strangers who hurt me in the end so it doesn’t hurt as much if I didn’t really loved dem in the first place I know I’m a get over this idk when tho I love u all have a bless day n sorry for posting this 😂

Idk what high school sudents listen to nowadays

@@ponternal yeat

@@charliesynclaire3330 It’s age and nostalgia bro. I’m 42 and grew up in the punk rock/skate scene. Played in and band and lived the lifestyle to the max. I look back on those days with the same nostalgia as you just described perfectly. The DIY ethos, and Uber creativity was truly something special. I watched the SoundCloud scene develop from the sidelines, but I gotta tip my hat. I was stoked to see the next generation create something so culturally influential outside the corporate purview. Fans and artists alike should be proud of what was created. I wonder if we can expect another such scene from generation TikTok.. my guess is no, but I’m a cynical, greying punk rocker lol

Have you ever listened to lil lotus, smrtdeath? They started out doing soundcloud rap too but nowdays doing more punk inspired music.

also ghostemane he got that suicideboys vibes but way way more metal.

@@McDudes of course i know them, i first heard of smrtdeath and lil lotus in 2017 tbh they sound more like average pop punk/post hardcore instead of regular real punk like discharge, napalm death, chaos UK, Disorder, DRI and good stuff like that

@@McDudes yeah kinda, I have to admit I discovered deicide through ghostemane, and it has become one of my favorite death metal bands, but also, I don't enjoy ghostmane's music anymore as I used to ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-re5Xxe4V-a4.html

@ Hell yeah I started listen to them back in 2017 as well. And yeah I guess they are more pop punk then typical punk (I don't really listen to punk at all). BTW lil lotus has a punk band as well, forgot the name though, they do more what I guess is more real punk. edit: I found the band name it's: If I Die First, check them out and let me know if I'm out of the blue and its not punk at all lol.

Bones the goat

Watch the Noisey Yung lean documentary if you haven’t. It’s really good.

Lmfao, there's plenty of ways to get fame, and rap is not the easiest way to get fame. People literally take videos of themselves staring at a camera for 10 seconds and upload it to tiktok and get paid hella just for views 💀 why would they choose rap if they didn't care and just wanted the fame. If thats the case, these rappers must be retarded then, there's rappers who've been in the industry for years and have gotten no where. But they still continue doing it, not for the fame, because they wanna make music lol.

​@@Wakeupisaiah A lot of younger people try to rap because it is a cool thing to do. It is only in the last 10-15 years that you could be any kind of online "influencer," and even some of them think it is cool to rap.

soundcloud rap was rap on its deathbed for sure. last real rappers was boosie and webbie no question

Yeah, brings me back when I was in high school, things were just so different back then and I miss that era so much, the memes and X and Juice WRLD’s death hit me hard, it just ain’t the same anymore.

​@@jayoh360what is wrong with SoundCloud rap? is it bad because it's different

Dont hate on stuff jus bc it's new. Everything evolves, and it's not even that it's bad its just we prefer stuff made in our generations. It's been like that forever tho. The way things were are legendary and the new stuff sucks. Been like that for hundreds of years lol

Toxic competition creates a failing label. Look at Smokepurp recently.

@@derrickclark5364 you’re right man! no matter how long an era lasts, they always end up contributing and inspiring the next one! history always repeats itself and not only in music.

Music is always fast with styles. People wanna hear something new or else it becomes too repetitive. Its always been like that. Most music genres are only popular for around 3-4 years before a new style takes over. Thats why early 80s music sounds so different from late 80s music for example.

SoundCloud era is just the newer version of the Snap/ ringtone rap era, nothing special just a product of it's time

I always looked at it like this. Hip hop is a young man's game. I grew up with Busta rhymes and wu tang. My dad hated it. New rap ain't for me. I'm a 40 yo man. I lost that rebellious spirit. Old heads need to let the youth be youth. It's not for us. We old bro 808s ain't cool no mo.

@@JohnGalt916 im still in my early 20s and was around 16/17 when mumble rap was really popping and i can tell ya I hate mumble rap. Its possibly the worst music style I’ve ever heard. But thats just my opinion.

@@JohnGalt916 Thats how it always is. The old heads hate what the young people are listening to. Your dad hating what we now call classics seems ridiculous now. But when we’re revering projects like Die Lit, GBGR, Come Over When You’re Sober, and 17 as classics, we’re gonna be the ones hating whatever the young are listening to. It’s just an eternal cycle. People hated rock n roll back in the day, now bands like the Beatles, Stones, Elvis, and Hendrix are untouchable. It’s just what happens the young will love the new and the old will hate it. It has no basis on the actual quality of the music
