I went long on the latest round of Hip-Hop Is Dead discourse--no more superstars, rap not charting that one time, blog-era stars hogging space/attention--and how, despite all that, rap continues to thrive in the margins for @hearingthingsco.bsky.social

"For all the #taste and eclecticism being projected outward," Dylan writes, A$AP Rocky's new one "comes off as too manicured—musical aura farming that doesn’t connect at a visceral level."
Does the World Need Another A$AP Rocky Album?
