i said it had CHANGED

and it has

the guys that think boom bap will never die, sure, it will always be around, people will always like it, and big name artists will return to it on occasion, do a few token old school sounding tracks on each album, but as the main form of hip hop, as the dominant sound of hip hop, as its default mode, boom baps time was quite a long time ago now.

as for minaj, she was just the example i used to explain how if even one of the biggest rap artists today doesnt even do the token boom bap song on her album, it just shows that it doesnt mean what it used to.

not sure how this is even arguable tbh.
