It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Mate, No, not even close. Nevermind that hip hop already seems to be in a death spiral, Macklemore is not and will not ever be close to Eminem in popularity. He’s probably not even the most visible contemporary white rapper
I'm not so sure 'death spiral' is the right term. I'm not gonna bullshit it's grim, but there's a good handful of emcees who seem more interested in resetting the board than just smackin it off the table. (Mostly aligned with TDE and pgLang.)
Right now. But Em is old, and never mind the fact that Death of Slim Shady actually seems to be Em back on his pins-- he can't keep it up forever. There'll be another, and I don't think El-P or Aes are that visible either. God knows RA ain't.
As someone who knows nothing it seems pretty good from the outside? Like hiphop is still a massive genre. How is it looking grim?
Fd signifier has a good video essay about this in the context of the Drake/Kendrick beef. frauddogg hit all the points of the video if you don't have over an hour to spare
I'd like to see the video too, it sounds interesting and I like the guy
For some reason I thought this was 90 minutes but it's actually 3 and a half hours
