>>17114080Rap is popular because other music genres, like Metal and Punk and the other Rock derivative dead-ends, have failed for decades to evolve with the times and become not-garbage. The songs literally all have the identical 4 instruments over and over again, thousands of songs per year for decades at a time, it was bound to burn out. If you're going to add keyboard/synthesizer songs, then you may as well make pop music instead of performing in a warehouse to 100 meth addict fans.
Rap utilizes sampling/stealing, recycling, is easier to do parodies/commercials with, all of the above. It's the most adaptable music genre of all time. Mumble trash rap is popular because of the latter half of your post, music executives. If Rap is going to be predominant no matter what, then they will pick trash rappers to elevate because they're easier to control and can be cycled out when they go rogue
Jey Uso is here to stay, Rap is here to stay, sorry about your damn luck. YEET.
